I bought an extra battery, but I am looking for a protective case to carry it with me, something to protect the connections.
Any ideas :?:
I'd stick a bit of electrical masking tape over it when your carrying it, and when you want to use it either transfer it to the other battery or stick it on the back of the battery to store it

I plan to do alot of Snowboarding this year, I need a case that will protect my phone hardcore, maybe just a solid case, doesnt even have to be functional.
Yes, sometimes I need my phone on the mountain cause I lose track of friends and need to call them.
Maybe get a normal case and put it in a waterproof pouch? I haven't seen many seriously protective cases for the sgs yet...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I use my Burton Esquire jacket ... all the protection I ever need.
I have also a great jacket (a nitro 20.000 waterproof ans 20.000 value as Breathable) but with low temperature the battery drains very fast (because I'll use the galaxy s as a camera @720p)... so i'll buy the Galaxy S Power Pack EBB-U10 that give me 3000mAh and a great extra protection for low temperature for the battery.....
Im not so much worried about water leaking in as I am about cracking the screen.
also, batteries will actually last longer in the cold. Its heat you have to worry about.
I do a lot of rock climbing and about to post asking for bluetooth headset advise!
Put the phone in a case-mate tough case which done a grand job even after a back fall from a boulder wall. Totally forgot I had the phone on me also know it was a lucky fall to not bend (break the screen) the phone.

The case comes in two parts
a rubber inside sleeve that I would imagine protects from shock. Outer skin is a hard plastic design for direct impact protection.
Case has a solid feel back and side edges but the weak points would be top/bottom edges that are only protected by the softer inside rubber.

I really don't like the extended battery door that came with my ebay 3000 mah battery, so I lightly modded the original door to make it fit the extended battery. Keep in mind this is my first attempt... it has a lot of room for improvement.
do you know if you can use the ebay case with a belt clip holster? I am not a fan of the seidio case either, the ebay case looks better.
Looks good, whats tools did you use?
I was thinking about doing this but don't have the proper tool too. Have you considered making a plastic mold to cover the battery? I have heard of people using some thing call shurgoo to make custom plastic pieces.
I have seen pictures somewhere on here of people that are using the seidio clip holster with the back half of the case removed with the ebay battery door, but I now cant find the pictures... i know that mine would fit in a normal belt clip holster because the bottom and top are still as if it was in the stock case.
As far as tools, i just used a pocket knife, a pair of scissors and liquid super glue. Maybe shoe-goo? i dont have any idea what shurgoo is? I do want to try to make something out of plastic or fiberglass resin maybe.
I don't mind having the extra thickness, but all 3 of the extended battery covers I've gotten via eBay always have bad fitment just around the power button. It sticks out past the button and/or that same corner never stays down. I'm tempted to do something like take the stock cover, cut an opening in it, and then epoxy the hump from extended cover onto the stock cover. After that, I plan on finishing it off w/ wrapping it in some 3M DiNOC black CF since I've got some extra sitting around. Anyone wanna donate a stock battery cover?
I was seeking something to protect my extra battery and I found this.
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/120774619554?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
it is a small plastic box for AAA and AA batteries. Because of that, the box is at least 3 times the thickness of the battery but the inside of the box matches perfectly the size of the battery.
I bought an aluminum bumper. Even after reading everybody saying they killed your signal I bought one. Looked really good. But it killed my signal. How in the hell do people buy those? They must be popular, they are all over the place. People have to be buying them. How?
Now, I ditched the bumper, but I ordered the aluminum battery cover. It looks cool too, and the way I understand it, the antenna are in the edges, so the aluminum batter y cover should not ruin my signs l right? Thought?
I expect people are buying them for the same reason you did?
NFC antenna is in the battery, so you may have issues with an aluminum back cover and NFC performance. I know that the thin wireless charging adapters negatively impact NFC performance. Mine still works with the thin wireless adapter under the stock back cover, but the ability to transmit/receive via NFC is reduced.
I'm looking for a rather specific accessory. I use a generic holster with a stand case. This one specifically.

I want to extend my battery life, but still retain the holster. I've looked at all the extended battery threads here and found that most of the batteries have a completely useless rounded replacement backplate that makes a holster unusable, and that the Zerolemon battery has issues with the phone's battery reader.
Based on this, I'm looking for a battery case with holster. It just seems like a better solution to the issue. I'm looking for something like this:

but with a fitting holster and without the stupid thing blocking the S Pen slot. Does anyone know if a product like this exists?
Zerolemon?
