So I went and got myself one of the custom cases that's available for the extended battery (the ebay / Chinese battery, not the Seidio).
Here is a link to what I purchased.
Well this is my review, it sucks. Yep that's it.
To elaborate a bit on that...
First of all, I did not receive a battery door cover, just the case (even though the listing clearly states it should be included).
The material is stiff but not hard, I would not really consider it a hard case.
The two pieces (top and bottom) have too much material that is supposed to fit between the keyboard slider, making it difficult to use / close the keyboard slider.
This was noted by the seller and was expected.
Also it seems that the bottom portion simply does not fit the phone well. It does not stay where it is supposed to and sliding the keyboard makes it worse.
To top it all off, it makes the power / volume / camera buttons very easy to find, but almost impossible to press (the power button in particular).
I bought this for my girlfriend's Epic, she used it for one day and took it off.
I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story.
I will be contacting the seller (moretalktime) to see what, if anything, can be done about this.
Definitely not worth the $15 I paid, in my opinion.
[edit]
I've noticed that the listing now states that it is only for the case, and does not include the door cover.
This was not the case when I purchased the item.
Here is a link to the listing before it was edited (not sure this link will work, as it's from my order history).

One main reason i didnt like this case was that it blocked the mic hole completely. Which was annoying also the speaker cutout was unnecessary since it was blocking the earpiece instead.

Ha, didn't even notice, but you are right, no hole near the volume keys for the speaker phone mic, and no hole at the bottom for the regular headset mic.
What did it for me was the fit, it's just plain bad IMO, if the sides would stay above the chrome as intended it wouldn't be so bad.
(Though trying to press the power key would eventually get to me enough that I would stop using it I think.)

I returned mine just in time, i recommend that you return it and wait for the updated version. So far what they told me that it will take two weeks for the updated version to be made and ready to ship. Hopefully it solves all the issues the first version had.
Any of you previous owners have any idea when the new version may be coming out?
I was about to buy this case tonight then saw this review. I was hoping it would be sturdy plastic like the case sprint sells, not something that seems to behave like silicone.
I got one of the new versions of the case cover. I installed it on my wife's phone and he sent me an old version along with it for free. I also got the Yoobao extended battery. I wish I would have taken pictures with them next to each other. The holes are bigger on everything, but it makes the slider almost useless. I also cna't get the bottom piece on all the way. Was going to use an apple safe pry tool to try and get it on. I didn't check for mic hole. Either way, its not very good. I was very disappointed in it, but my wife is deciding to keep it on.
Side note: the battery works really well. She can go almost a whole day without charging and her phone is stock and she uses her phone like a maniac!
Hmm, so even the new version messes with the slider? By useless do you mean it takes a lot of force to actuate the slider?
Guess I will stick with my stock battery

I haven't asked her lately about the slider. I'll ask her and see what she says, but she took off the bottom piece because it was just too much of a hassle. Its funny, I have a leather body glove case that was given to me free by the sprint store we bought our phones at. It works flawlessly.

I bought this on amazon for a tenner and had it delivered yesterday. even though it was advertised as a pouch specifically for the DHD, it doesnt quite work. for size its fine, but at the bottom theres a strap of leather which covers up the headphone and micro-usb socket. so if you're planning on using the DHD regularly to listen to music, you've been warned!

i bought this case as well, and i think it is fantastic, if you need to charge or listen to music, just put it in the other way!
the only warning is how excellent the quality is for a tenner!
yeah i can, but i'm pretty sure i'd read either on amazon or HTCs accessory site that you can access the power button and headphone sockets through the case. nothing about one or the other! besides its just easier to have it inserted the 'right way' round as you can pull the phone out just a bit and turn it on to check the time, notification bar, etc. and even upside down you still cant hit the power button from the bottom of the case.
you're right though, it is a workaround, i was just a little disappointed as all they needed to do was put two smaller leather strips at the bottom instead of one big one blocking the sockets.

from being on this forum and seeing how ridiculously picky the people are here, they would have then complained it wasnt holding the bottom of the phone strongly enough and it would fall out!
lol! i dont think i'm being that picky though, am i? its like buying a tshirt with no sleeves. sure you can get it on, but it kinda defeats the purpose!

its just, when i look around the forum, there seems to be some really silly things that have been made into mountains from molehills:
slight gaps above screen that you can barely see
slight gaps with the sim cover
people being too rough and breaking their sim cover
people want more led colours
etc etc
to be fair that sim card cover is flimsy cheap crap, and i dont want a flimsy cheap piece of crap attached to my £500 phone. if i wanted that i would have got a galaxy s.
but back on topic, why do you need access to the power buttom when its in the case anyway? and why can you not reach around the strap to touch the power button?
By the way one question
This pouch has a sleeve that is used to take out the DHD from the pouch it self.
When you put or take the pouch from your pants pocket, does the sleeve comes out accidentally ?

this "sleeve" you refer to is just a piece of ribbon attached to the pouch which the phone rides on when you putt the ribbon and takes the phone out the case. No, it doesnt get pulled accidently when you take it our of your pocket

nope. however if you want to be really really critical i would say the ribbon is around 1/4 inch too long and dangles loose when the phone is fully inserted. its one of those tiny things i notice but by no means a deal breaker.

the strap at the bottom is too big and you cant see the power button at all, but thats not really going to help me. what i meant to say was, when i want to check the time for example, i dont want to pull the phone completely out of the case. so instead i can pull the ribbon, press the powerbutton, and check the time (along with checking for messages, missed calls, etc). but theres no way of doing that without taking the phone out completely if it is inserted upside down.
now, after writing all that i can see myself how ridiculously fussy i'm being! i do like the case, it does the job just fine and i dont feel the need to return it. (although i might try and drill a hole through the leather strap to slot in my headphones )
Any decent cobbler's / leatherworker's will have a drive punch which will make a much better job of modding your case. Offer them a couple of $localcurrency for the trouble, I'm sure you'll be happy with the result
Caring is sharing so here it goes
Found quite a very good inexpensive case for Omnia 7 on ebay.
Paid 5 pound in total and it arrived today Think i ordered last week on Tuesday.
First impression. Very solid and durable. Unlike silicon ones i found around Dublin it doesnt slip of the phone when you take it out of your pocket and it looks brilliant. Grip is perfect. The middle back of the phone isnt too grippy though it would be perfect not getting too stuck in the pocket, but the sides where the reflective back is it offers great grip ive been missing
Also design is great and looks lovely on the phone
One con. The buttons are as easy to push. They dont offer such tacktile feedback as without it. But im sure ill get used to it Actually quite helps to stop accidental buttons presses while in the pocket or playing games
Generally 9 out of 10 One of the best cases ive ever seen

Got the same case. Quality is pretty good, however, I don't like the fact that it also convers the buttons, you have to press through the case to press the buttons, so they're somewhat hard to press.
So I think I'll cut out some space where the buttons are (with a dremel tool)
I didnt like that either. But it actually stopped alot of accidental button presses since.
Main problem here is that the audio jack and usb port dont align correctly. Otherwise a great case
It looks very nice. I have leather pouch for my Omnia, but I'm not satisfied because you have to take it out of your pocket and than out of pouch, which I don't like much.
From the pictures it looks like it could be a little difficult to connect it to mUSB. Do you have to take it out if you're charging it or connecting to PC?
I dont.
The only time i have to is when im trying to connect it to FM transmitter cause the jack hole doesnt allign and doesnt allow sufficient space. Works grand with the headphones supplied by Samsung though.

I think i got it off www.Zedge.net its a mobile website for phone wallpapers and videos and stuff
I've got this case as well, and it's definetely one of the better quality cases.
Unfortunately the holes for the headphones and usb port aren't completely aligned with the actual ports, so I had to cut them out a bit.
It's a really slim fit and can be a bit hard to remove. The grips on the side make it feel quite nice in your hands.
My phone broke and I just received a replacement . I will skip the horror story with that process. Suffice to say I don't want to go through that again but the replacement phone has a real loss slide which opens too easily and won't stay open when in landscape and using the keyboard.
I live a an hour from a repair store and was wondering if this is an adjustment that can be made in the store...I don't want to have to get a replacement,
Put a protective case on it. Wont slide as easily. The black one sprint sells is good.

That's actually a good idea . Because the alternative involves opening up the phone, and tightening down the tabs. Not a fun task . Also time consuming.

I was wondering if it was possible to easily tighten the keyboard up, but I guess not. Slider's are the only phones I haven't taken apart and fixed, I'm too scared that I'm gonna ruin it and have two parts and no phone lol.. Still waiting on another case from Amazon, until then guess I'll have to hold it horizontal to use the keyboard.
Best Buy also has a clear acrylic case that I've been using that works really well. I like it more than other cases because the top part has a solid line "tab" all the way across instead of the two small ones on the corners so there's less of a chance that you break a tab off on an end and no longer have your front face.
I don't think theirs comes with a holster though. I'm still using the black holster i got from a previous case.
I received the KLD case off ebay not too long ago. The case came about a week after I placed an order (this includes weekend days). So first things first, the case is well made. I remember someone had expressed that the back stitching may be of concern but I looked at it and it looks like it will hold up just fine with moderate use.
I mentioned in my other review thread that this case is a major disappointment. The reason being is because I bought the case thinking it would have the auto wake/sleep feature. This case does NOT support this feature. Because of the lack of magnets in this case, it leads to a second major disappointment. The cover even when closed will flap around if you were to have it in your bag.
Because it is PU leather, it does smell VERY plastic like.
Finally, I chose to have the white option, if you take a look at the link, you will see that its a very pure white color. However, the cover I received is beige NOT white at all.
In conclusion, do I like this case? No, not at all. I can't recommend it to anyone. This is a cheaper alternative to the Samsung Book Cover (though I don't know if the official book cover supports the wake/sleep feature).
Pros
-Slim
-Nice cut outs (look at pics below)
-Not too expensive- I paid only $16.50 (free shipping)
Cons
-Does NOT have wake/sleep feature
-Cover does NOT stay in place because of the lack of magnets
-Bad smell even after leaving it in the open for 3 days
-The case I bought is WHITE, this case is clearly BEIGE
I give the case a 4/10. The quality is great but the lack of features that many other cases have for a cheaper price hampers it's overall rating.
Finally my search for a perfect slim case isn't over- I bought yet another case from Moko- that looks great. I'll post up yet another review when it's out. Check it out here! :

Thanks for sharing this great review! It is too bad the KDL wasn't very good after all. And I'm surprised it did not support wake/sleep.

That does look really promising! It clearly has a magnetic closure and uses magnets to hold the stand in place. And I like the broad assortment of colors.
A few other observations (about the MoKo Ultra Slim Lightweight Smart-shell Stand Case), just from looking at the pics, etc. on Amazon:
It appears that the shell is a bit thicker than other cases I've considered. In fact, it seems from the pictures like the shell is thick enough that the camera lens is actually recessed (instead of sticking out); I'm not 100% certain as it could just be an unintentional optical illusion. But if the camera lens is recessed that could be nice for protecting the lens a little bit. On the other hand though I do wonder about added weight and how that will feel (ie, if it will be noticeably heavier?). The Galaxy Note 8 weighs 11.7 ounces (338g) and I believe the official Samsung Book Cover weighs 3.2 ounces (90.72g), which makes for 14.9 ounces total (just shy of a 1lb, which seems like a decently light amount). The Amazon page indicates a weight of the MoKo at 5oz, which (if correct) is just a little heavier than the Samsung case, so hopefully not enough to be noticeable.
I don't see any mention of wake/sleep being supported. But I know you mentioned the other Moko case you tried did support wake/sleep, so hopefully this one does too!
I wonder how well the PU leather is going to hold up to folding the front cover flat against the back. It seems that would put a bit of stress on the part that will be bending around the case so I wouldn't be surprised to see cracking start rather quickly in that area (depending on the quality).
I just noticed in one of the pictures (the one for the white color, where a hand is holding the case in the air, demonstrating the magnets holding the stand in a triangle) that the GN8 is popping out of the case a little (in the bottom right of the picture). Hopefully that was just an oversight on their part as they were swapping out cases for the pictures, and not actually indicative of a loose fit. Pictures of the other colors appear to be fitting snugly in those same poses.
I look forward to your next review! I think I'm down to considering the above Moko and the Poetic Slimline (mentioned by someone else). I'll keep my fingers crossed that this Moko will be significantly better than the other one you reviewed! :fingers-crossed:
Hey pluginalong I actually contacted the seller before purchasing, they said they support the sleep/wake function. It won't be shipping till next week but my current Moko case should hold till then

Hey, that's great to hear--this case really sounds promising!
I have one of these as well. I got a light blue one. I really like it except for the lack of magnets. I WANT sleep wake and would like for it to stay in place. Also I found that if I put it in my bag and it is kind of full it will turn the screen on and run the battery down.
Thats total crap if sellers are saying these things are "smart wake" when they aren't. I was hoping mine would arrive soon, but if it isn't going to work then looks like I'll be looking elsewhere.

Bought KLD Also...
and it is a major disappointment - totally agree with OP. But, does anyone know exactly where the magnet should go? It should be possible to attach a slim, rubberized magnetic on the case in a discrete manner so as not to make the case totally ugly but yet turn on the Note?
docfreed said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think from some videos I saw (a few weeks ago) of the official Samsung Book Cover case that it seemed like the magnet must be somewhere on the left side as the wake/sleep seemed to be triggered by movement on the left side as opposed to the right side being lifted (which perhaps might be done in order avoid errant wake/sleep events since the right side can slide around some on some cases?). My guess is that the magnet would be somewhere within the bezel area and not under the screen proper. The reason being is that the Wacom technology works in part through electromagnetic fields (if I'm remembering correctly) and I would imagine that a wake/sleep magnet would somehow complicate that. So if you have a magnet to experiment with you could try running it around the bezel (starting with the left side) and see if you can trigger the wake/sleep. If it were me I'd start in the middle of the left bezel (when in portrait orientation).
If you don't have a magnet on hand you could also try various metal objects that are capable of carrying a magnetic charge as some technology works by responding the disruption/change of a magnetic field, which doesn't actually require another magnet, but just an object with enough of a hint of its own natural field to cause a change (I believe this is how some stoplights work here in the US, where there are wires in the ground to notify the stoplight a car is waiting, because the car disrupts/changes the electromagnetic field of the wire). I'm not totally sure if this principal can work on this small of a scale or not, but it could be worth a shot for some limited experiments.

Looks like my hunches were incorrect.
I have just ordered this one from ebay:
cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121107475861
(I cannot post links yet, you'll need to copy and paste in your web browser)
It is cheap and looks slim and similar to the KLD one and it has a magnetic tab to keep it securely closed.
According to the description it supports "auto sleep and wake up when close and open" but I am not sure if I believe it. I can always open a dispute if it is not true

Yea I thought so too when I ordered. If it's the KLD you ordered, I can definitely confirm that it doesn't support that function. I FINALLY got my sale disputed
Update
Even though I didn't like this case, I wanted to use it because it was slim. So while I waited for the Moko Shell (which I use now) I used the KLD everday for a solid week.
3 more things I've noticed that makes it even worse!
1- extended use with the cover as a stand eventually makes the cover pop up and as far as I've seen, it hasn't been able to flatten back out properly
2- Because this case lacks the sleep/wake function, you have to turn on the tablet with either the power button (or home). Unfortunately, I guess KLD really wanted to add that protection there- so there's a bezel above the power button- but this makes pressing the volume & power button a lot more difficult!
3- Finally, folding the cover back is also a problem. The stitching for the cover looks nice but when it's folded, it makes the tablet poof up (notice the rather big gap in the folded area- not present on other cases). Writing on the tablet with the cover folded back causes a "bouncy" feel.

Thanks for the additional followup and pics! All 3 of those things are very helpful to know!
Unfortunately, I ordered the KLD case a few days before reading this thread. It seems nice enough. Its the style I like. But I only popped my Note in and out of it. I didn't use it for any length of time. I had also ordered a Rock Mix case and that's what I'm using. It does have sleep/wake function. I filed a complaint with the KLD seller and he initially offered a full refund if I sent the case back (with him paying shipping) or $5.00 refund. He then sent another offer to refund me 100% and let me keep the case if I gave him positive feedback. I accidently accepted the $5.00 offer. That's fine though because I wanted to keep the case. It's stored away as a backup.
I have searched high and low and I can't seem to find a Bumper style case that will let me use Mods. The clear one that comes with the Moto Z is perfect, but it's ugly. Am I missing something, am I the only one that desperately needs this?
Judging from what's available, and some reviews I've read, the popular perspective is that you either use Mods or use a case, but not both.
I have a tendency to put my phone down on it's screen, so I just need something that elevates it from the surface. I also have a tendency to drop my phone and the bumper cases I've had in the past have saved me from that pesky insurance deductible.
Will we ever see a Bumper case that protects the screen and edges while allowing us to swap out Mods? Is there already something available hiding in the dark corners of the interwebs?
https://www.incipio.com/cases/smart...roid-cases/moto-z-droid-co-molded-bumper.html
As good as it gets. You put it on from the back. High edges around the screen. But also a edge around the back preventing fast and quick swap of mod without removing bumper too.

Do you own this? Is it difficult to press the volume and power buttons because they are covered by the bumper?
I'm going to miss being able to fast swap Mods but if this will fit with any Mod attached then this is definitely what I need.
Edit: The only review I've found states that the charging port does not line up correctly and it constantly slips off. Honestly it sounds like they bought it for the wrong phone but I'd love to hear if anyone has something good to say about this bumper...

I have this. The buttons on the bumper feel like metal to me and make excellent contact with the normal buttons. They are a little stiffer to push, but that makes accidental off button pushes less likely to happen.
The oem cord easily fits in the hole for the charger. I am not sure if this is the same case as the verizon one. The incipio case is very good, if not a bit expensive.
edit: It is also a very sniff case, does not shift or move at all.
You two convinced me, thank you!
No real problems with it. Haven't had it in a pocket pulling it up and down with any force though.
I had it in perfect fit around the charging port first time I mounted it. Then I wanted to check something and removed it and now it's slightly to the side. That seems to be a mounting issue rather than a bad fit.
Nice bumper but not perfect. Still... The best thing to use with mods so far.

The Verizon bumper works fine for me. Some type c cables are a bit wide and need to be seated properly, but otherwise exactly what you described that you needed. I swap between the Incipio wireless off grid and the JBL sound mod often and don't have to remove the bumper to do so.
I'm just using the included plastic bumper in the unlocked US version of the Z.
Glad to hear that there's a proper one from Incipio aside from the VZW bumper.
The included plastic one works great but is ugly IMO. I wish it were a flat black. I'm considering spraying it with Plasti Dip.
