just got an extended battery and was wondering if anybody knew of a case that would fit around this monster. i looked on the sites that i know about but no luck. i tried to cut out the back section on one of my regular cases but the sides aren't really held in place very well (not enough material left to provide the stiffness/ stablity to hold in place). any ideas or maybe somebody knows of one out on the market?
i've shattered one screen already so a shock absorbing cover is a must.
me too
i ve also searched every where nbut nothing , might have to get it custom made let me know if you find any
I found this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OEM-2300mAh-H...ssories_RL&hash=item519389b779#ht_2132wt_1044 that has a cover with the battery.

He is asking about a full cover, I guess...
Something like the otterbox cover that covers the whole phone, but allows you to use the extended battery.

yea, exactly. a shock absorbing case that can be used with the extended battery.
i have an otterbox commuter and love it, but my battery runs out on the after work train ride home. the extended battery works great (for me about 170% of original), but as i mentioned earlier, one small drop and presto, shattered screen (i love that the bezel around the screen is so thin. it gives such a small form factor for such a large screen, but it is fragile). so i don't dare leave the house without the otterbox.
i saw this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693427 but in all honesty this just isn't a solution for me. i need edge impact protection. apart from being ugly beyond belief, these mods leave the top corners exposed which could spell disaster.
Hi folks!
I have order a Streak recently, and as I live quite far from the repair service, I would like to buy a good case for my phone.
I´ve read read most of the post about cases on this forum (about Otterbox, amzer, leather ones), but I still have not being able to make a decission. So I ask for your help to make up my mind..
Here I note down my needs:
- The Streak must be pocketable with the case. I know that the device itself is almost not pocktable, so I would like to know if someone has a good case that still fits in normal trousers.
- I would prefer a case that I have not to take out the phone to use it (like those silicone ones), but I´n not sure if they provide a reasonably amount of protection. I can use a leather one (my actual Diamond has one), but it cannot be very big (the pocketable issue) and I want to be sure that I can take out the device easily without answering calls by accident.
- I understand that most of cases avoid the use both of Dell car accessory and the Dell desktop stand without removing them, but if any of them allow that, I would be good to know.
I really apreciate your advices and experiences, and thanks a lot for your time!
I personally use this case I did a review about and love it!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761820
Fits in my pocket perfectly. A bit tight when wearing long jeans though.
I have the dell case plastic form fit. Doesn't offer to much prrotection but defintly pocketable. I have no issues putting the streak in my pocket. I am going to her the amzer jellycase for added protection.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I have the Easecase too. Brilliant case but I did think it bulked the phone up too much to fit in my pocket comfortably.
I liked Dell slip cover purely to prevent scratching but it was difficult to get on or off.
I ended up buying one of these as an interim measure.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEOPRENE-POUC..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item588983aa2a
Cheap and nasty but it does the job superbly, the fold over stud clip is useless. But I found that leaving it unlatched it's great as a little pull tag so I can pull the phone in and out of my pocket very quickly.
I'd love to have a go at recreating this using loverly supple leather with a microfibre lining and a metal ring where the tab is for easy pocket removal.
I have read the excellent review about the easycase, but I´m not sure about it or this one:
Leather Case for Dell Streak - Horizontal Pouch Type (Black) Version.2 From PDAIR
(the forum does not allow me to post direct links)
Maybe without the clip is more pocketable...any experiencies with this case?
The plastic one from Dell seems to offer too less protection...a it is a bit expensive for what it is...but something similar is an option if I dont go for a leather one.
Thanks for your advices...
I believe you are talking about this one:

I do really like that case, but by the time it came out I had already purchased an easecase. It just seems that all PDair cases bulk the Streak up more. The case I have only adds about 1/8 inch on all sides of the Streak.
Although the PDair case is more visually pleasing with the white stitch.
I have bought the Amzer and the Otterbox cases, both make the phone a little big for your pocket and they are a little sticky.
I just put a product request on Boxwave to make a Pure Crystal Slip case for the Streak, I have used this on my HTC phones and like them.

so If you are interested please put a request in also.

+1 for the Otterbox... I got mine today and it is great!!!
Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has found a solution for fitting a decent case over these phones with extended batteries. I only found that zerolemon gives a decent case (still not as rugged as I desire, but better than no case!) but I would prefer to go with a extended battery that is not as bulky such as mpj or hyperion. Any suggestions on getting a good case or am I doomed till hyperion or mpj releases one (probably never?).

I don't think you'll find a magic case that will shrink existing matter into a smaller space. The larger capacity demands a larger battery that is not going to be smaller or form fitting to a phone not initially designed for it. It will have to be bulky by definition.
The zero lemon option at least is boxy and rectangular. The other options are lopsidedly large at the base. I personally am going to add a tpu case over my mpj battery for added grip.
i didnt even realize extended batteries were still made. isn't that too bulky?

I saw this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ZAK1GAS/ref=psdcmw_3081461011_t1_B015XBS45I?th=0
and ordered a clone off eBay. Getting here tomorrow, will let you know how it goes. Not willing to use the super slippery back that comes with these extended batteries!
Do you guys think my g4 with a mugen battery and door, could I put one of those metal or hybrid bumpers on this?
Doubt a bumper would work. There is usually at least one part of the new back that alters the dimensions of the edge. The zerolemon one makes the whole thing boxy. The one I linked to above changes the whole lower 3/4th edge.
If you did your own 3d printing of a new back, and only had a pronounced lump in the center, potentially you could.
Case for extended battery
I use an otterbox on my G4 with 6200 ma battery. I leave the phone back off, cut the back out of the otterbox where the battery would hit and then just stretch the rubber over. It tucks into a groove in the front half and works great

Does the Hyperion TPU case have a lip in front of the screen? Any chance you have a pic of the front with the Hyperion TPU case?

The case I got off ebay which is the same as the Hyperion one does have a lip, thus making the front very similar to many TPU cases.

After a lot of reading and viewing of YouTube videos, I think I'm narrowing my rugged case choice down to either the Samsung Rugged Case with Kickstand or the good ol' Otterbox Commuter (the UAG Monarch is still also in contention, but I'm in a business environment most of the time and I'm a bit concerned about the looks of the Monarch).
Does anyone who has thoughts or experience with one or both have any feedback that might help sway a person in one direction or the other? I like the kickstand option of the Samsung, but its protectiveness obviously hasn't been tested as much as Otterbox's, and the lip seems lower too.
Would really appreciate any input or advice.
Thanks!

I went to Best Buy and tried out the Samsung case and I liked it. Its rugged and slim and feels good. I already bought another case that's why I did not get it. But I am thinking about getting it.
I like the Samsung Rugged case, but this case is not wireless charging friendly. It works, but the phone and the case get very hot. Some have reported that after 30 min the phone stops charging.
I take it that you are both satisfied with the level of protection provided by the case? Think it's good enough to guard the screen against drops? Unfortunately, I cannot personally try out the case prior to purchase, so I'm very grateful for feedback on it.
No worries about wireless charging, as I don't plan to use the feature (don't want the battery to degrade due to the generated heat). But I appreciate the info just same.
I have the samsung official rugged and simply love it. Not too bulky but obviously excellent protection. Feels good in the hand, rather elegant for a rugged case,... Not using wireless so I don't care either.
I'm looking for 2 types of cases (not necessary to have both features at same time):
1. Something with an in-built magnetic grip, in order to use it with magnetic car holders
2. A really rugged case.
I found these cases:
A. https://www.armor-x.com/bx3-nk19-9p...oof-rugged-case-for-outdoors-w-carabiner.html
B. https://lastu.co/collections/nokia/products/lastu-with-ring-stand
Is there anyone who got one of these cases and could give a very short real-life review?
Any other brands or models?
Thanks in advance.
I'm using this one and it is very thin light and useful

i made this one on www.case-custom.com
But i did not notice the alignment was a bit off. (the red hexagon was supposed to be in the center).
Ah well , i will see what i get quality wise before i order an improved one.
Remains to be seen if they get the alignment correct anway.

Interesting! Can you report back on the quality?
I have a case thats almost identical to your Armor one. I like it, its rugged but its just a little too slick for me. I wish it had some side ridges or grips. I always feel like its going to slide out of my hand, ofc it never does.
My Case is the Cruzerlite Carbon Fiber Shock.
I use SLEO Case - hard rubberized, very thin, light, grippy, excellent fit.
Here's a quick video of some cases I picked up.
Looking for Wallet Case
I have a tpu bumper case with a transparent hard acrylic back. It's fine. I am looking for a wallet case so I can carry my metro cards and work ID as well as use it to watch videos. Many cases fulfilling these requirements are on Amazon and Alibaba but they ALL USE MAGNETS! I will probably punch six holes in my old leather wallet case and call it a day.
Bought a beetop clear case , very happy with it. Thin, truly transparent and cutouts are nicely done.
Also bought a imak cleared case witch is exactly the opposite, thik, yellowish and cutouts are a bit messy.
The beetop was cheeper as well
I'm waiting for a proper heavy duty case that covers front and back, like Pelican/Otterbox.
I don't have this case, but it looks a bit more interesting than everything else I've been able to find. Thought I'd post this here for others looking for something different and to see if anyone plans to get it and leave a review here for the rest of us.
https://www.armor-x.com/bx3-nk19-9p...oof-rugged-case-for-outdoors-w-carabiner.html
My guess is that wireless charging is impeded by this case.
For those not sporting cases, have you picked up scratches? I am currently using a transparent case, but it's not the same as case-free.
Also, anyone noticed any impact of cases and photos? I.e. cases effecting the light/shine in images?
I sue this one:
