ANY cases for Extended batteries?

I have the extended battery, and cant find a case ANYWHERE... Anyone know of anything?

That is a good question.. i have not seen anything offical other than seidio having cases for their extended batteries(still in development according to website.
Looks like walmart or a mall kiosk for a pouch as a temp fix to this case problem....

I used a razor blade to cut my soft case to fit my 3500 battery. Looks pretty good. I will never go back to using the stick battery.

Seidio Spring clip
It works for their extended battery or for the stock battery. I have been using one since it came out and also for years on my xv6800... I am VERY happy with their products so far.
Normal caveats... YMMV, IMHO, yadda yadda yadda

I took a razor blade to the Amzer Silicon case I have used before with the stock battery. The battery door sticks out a little. Cheap solution until there is actual products on the market...I think I paid $10 including shipping from ebay. I am sure you can mod any other stock case with a cutout so the battery can extend, but that is up to you... I figured the price I paid vs the use I got from it evened out

And for added protection stick one of these on the back of the battery door

They come in all sorts of colors and designs

You can mod cases for the humpback door designs, but not the fatty doors all of the lower cost, eBay extended bats ship with.

I am wondering if I would have any luck buying a cheapo silicone and a cheapo hard case from Amazon or eBay, cutting the backs out of both of them for the extended battery, and putting them both on so it would be kind of like an Otterbox. Is that feasible or should I just buy the Otterbox and mod it (I figured the cheapo cases would be less of a loss if it turned out to be a big fail)?

We now have Silicone cases available for the Droid Incredible and Evo 4G Extended batteries. Black, Red, Pink and Purple are available.

Need better pics. The pic on the link provided looks nothing like anything that would fit on an Incredible. Do these cases fit on the Seidio 3500 mAh batteries?

I agree. Please post more pictures. The box shape of the case makes me wonder if the phone would just sit in the case with too much room. Like if you grip the phone with the case on it, does the case cave in around the phone? Does the case feel solid enough or firm when on the phone? Just doesnt look like it would conform to the phone correctly. Im sure im not describing what im trying to find out correctly.
Post pics of the inside of the case?

This case does not fit with the seidio innocell 3500 battery which imo is the only one worth buying there is a case specifically for this battery on the seidio website however doesnt appear to give much protection my hope is that they design a rugged case for the extended battery

For the 2150 HTC extended battery, here is a good place:

Would recommend not using silicone only as all of them tend to slip off pretty easily. But they do have hard rubber ones, the black ones look much better than red.

Seems like there will be a Otterbox Defender for bionic

I will throw this out there for anyone interested in a otterbox defender, I ordered a defender case for my photon and it mistakenly came in a Droid bionic defender box. More than likely Bionic is getting a defender.

There will indeed be one. I work @ a VZW corporate store, and we got a Defender series for launch.
It's actually rather interesting. It's the first Defender that I can recall with a smooth silicon outer covering, as opposed to the textured feel on the X, X2 & iPhone 4.
It's nice, but seems like it might be a little harder to grip in/out of pockets...I guess time will tell

Will there be any blue colored cases available at launch? Or am I stuck with hitting up eBay and the like for one?

It would be nice if they would make one for the extended life batteries. I haven't seen one yet that they have.

I picked one up at VZW for 37 and some change last night. Amazon does not have them yet but otterbox even has them on there site for 49.99. But your best bet would be to go to the VZW store and see what kind of deal they can work out. I think i got like 35% off the 49.99.

Hopefully it's better than the defender for the Atrix. Not impressed with it at all! The silicone cover is really loose, which causes it to snag on things and try to pull off. I emailed them about it and got a replacement, but it's just as loose. I have a Ballistic HC case in the mail right now. Hopefully it's better than the otterbox.

Otterbox had a Defender and a Commuter available at launch. Only the Defender was available from Verizon yesterday. I'd love to get a commuter, but I don't want to have to pop the cover every night to dock the phone.

Confirmed.
See if you can get a deal if you get one in-store, a lot of places will give you a % off.

I have it and I HATE it...added TONS of bulk to the phone and can't use with the extended battery

Otterbox hates extended batteries.
And why is the commuter series never with a holster? That's the one I want cause it's thinner and the plastic makes it easier to slip in/out of the pocket but I need a holster for work. Sigh.....

Did you folks who got a discount buy it with your phone? I went to three stores trying to buy the case only, and no one would offer a discount unless I bought a phone, too.

I bought mine from the store and did not buy a phone.
For those complaining about the bulk and size of the defender are missing the point. The case is to the the best protection money can buy. I feel it is.
My 1 tiny, small problem with the defender is the charging port opens to the wrong side. Hdmi (used less) is easy to plug in while mini usb (used much more) is more difficult to plug in.

See, I like more bulk/weight to my phone... Are you happy with it? Is the holster easy to use? Also, my friend had one for the Atrix, and he said it slid up and down because it wasn't a tight fit. Any truth to this? Thanks

i honestly don't use the holster, but clicking it in and out just testing it, there's zero play.
i love the case and would recommend it to anyone.

Gotcha. Glad to hear if I'm going to be dropping $49.99 on a case for my phone...

I purchased the Defender Series on day one at my local VZW store but after having it for almost a week I can easily say it is way too bukly for my liking. The rubber outsole is also a major pain for me for two main reasons. The first is that it likes to stick to my pockets making it hard to take out or put back in, and second all the fuzzies and lint in my pocket stick to it. Also never used the holster.
I ordered the Commuter Series and hopefully it will be here by the end of the week so that I can return my Defender case.

Just picked up my Bionic and Defender case from Best buy about an hour ago.
I went in there yesterday looking at it since its $249 and no tax here. They didnt have anything in stock as far as accessories went. I told them I would think about it since Costco had a pretty good deal on it as well. Well I decided i liked the sound of the Buy Back Program they offered so I went for it. They were trying everything yesterday to make up for such a great deal at Costco.
I went back in today and low and behold they just unboxed 3 Defender cases. I told them I wanted to keep the price under $300 for everything so the assistant manager came out and told me he would do the Phone for $200 and then sell me the black tie with buy back and also the defender for $289. I couldnt pass up paying $289 out the door for this setup so I took it. I am more than happy with my purchase today.

I ended up getting my case at VZW store with a nice little discount from a friend. Its a perfect fit with the belt clip no play at all. Solid feel similar to the xoom case. Although its bulkier than most cases you know your phone will survive almost anything.

What do you mean "play"?
Also, to the person complaining about the outter case attracting lint, that's why you keep it in the holster and one of the reasons I'm moving towards it. The lint is already creeping in my phone so I want to keep it out.

This works.

Works but it's uglier than sin.

You could drop $50, or $30 on Amazon, on the Otterbox Commuter.
Then cut a hole in the back....
then try and reform it together again
or try to find a half way decent silicone case that stretches.
I hate silicon cases, cause they don't slide into my pocket easily.

I have the one they sell at verizon that has the holster. I love the fact it fits in the HDMI and car dock with extended battery and case.

Belt clip that would fit w/ Otterbox Commuter Case

Im looking for a belt holster that would fit with a Otterbox Commuter, or a case/holster combo(not the verizon one) what would work well.

I don't know if you have extended battery or not but if you do, you can use Diztroinic Matte TPU extended battery case with Seidio holster. It works great. Diztronic case also works with OEM verizon holster but the holster SUCKS. It always falls out. You can get them on Amazon or eBay for appox $12. Good quality for the price. The only thing is Seidio holsters are expensive. You can also buy Platium case holster combo at Best Buy and just use the holster. Its the exact same identical case hoster combo as seidio. Just different name.

I got the case/clip from bestbuy, but i wanted that extended battery so i might try what that case, you sure it works good with the clip? does that case offer good protection?

Belt Case Review for Bionic w/ Extended Battery

I know, the phone's pretty dead, and the entire forum's pretty dead...
Still, why not?
I use the Bionic with extended battery, and as a result, finding belt cases for them are... let's say, difficult.
Most belt cases, even those advertised for "large phones", don't fit. (And no, i don't consider holsters to be a proper fit. If they fit, they're VERY tight and/or they don't close properly.
Every once in a while I ran into one that almost fits.
Just the other day I ran into one over at Walmart. It's large, it seems to have a sturday construction and it fits, if a little snug. And it's $20.
Bought it, used it for 3 days... and the belt hook is coming apart already. WTF?!
In contrast the generic case I found in a Chinatown shop for $15 lasted me 6 months.
Right now I'm between a $5 case (with $3 shipping) on Amazon and a $30 + tax case from Best Buy.
The weirdest thing is the case from Best Buy is NOT for the Droid Bionic... But for the iPhone 5 with Mophie Juice Pack. Yes, they come out to be about the same dimension. There's a bit of gap top and bottom of the phone, but the case is snug enough you'll never notice. And it's readily available. The belt hook is so heavy duty it may outlast the case itself.
And the $5 generic case from Amazon... Looks flimsier, but has additional belt loops. Haven't tried it much, but seems to fit quite well.
So just letting people know, if you rock the extended battery, you *can* find belt cases that fit your phone. Really.

the case in this picture looks the same as mine which was the oem upgrade case bought with the phone 2+ years ago by the wife.case still works well. I highly recommend. If it broke tomorrow i would go out and order it again.

extended battery friendly

Destroyed two of those already. Holster broke in half, kickstand is flimsy and barely lasted a month. Also doesn't protect at all. Drop this and you get 4 pieces... Phone, battery, back cover, and the "case".
