Anyone know of a full body protector that fits the thunderbolt with the extended battery on it? I'm currently using the xtreme guard from ebay and love it but it obviously no longer fits with the extended battery..

doesn't sedio make a case that works with their extended battery/extended battery cover? Also, verizon has one that fits.

Check Amazon, Seidio Active Extended and Seidio Convert Extended for the T-Bolt. You won't regret it. Adds a little bulk but well worth the money.

do you know the name of this case...looking for it online..
I have the Seidio Extended Value Pack case that I picked up when I bought my extended battery.
Sorry, can't post URL. Paste this after their domain name:
product-p/bd5-hkr5htmecx.htm
When we bought Thunderbolts for our office we bought the Verizon case pictured elsewhere in this thread.
For daily use, I like the Verizon case better. For one, it allows you to use the built-in metal kick stand. The Seidio case covers it up and gives you a cheap plastic kickstand. This adds extra bulk that really isn't necessary.
The Seidio combo give you all kinds of options and can provide great protection. I took my Thunderbolt off-line in the Rockies for GPS and movies and never worried about it being damaged. But, the combo I have means three layers of casing when rubberized. They now have some better options, though.
Overall, I feel the Verizon case does a great job.

dang, that looks bad a$$, wish i would have known about that before i bought my seidio case. I love my seidio, but being able to use the tbolt kickstand, instead of the plastic one is nice.
I have the extended battery too and the only decent case selection that suited me has the cut out for the batt door to stick through....kinda sux.
My verizon provided screen protector got a key scratch day one. do you find that those shields work well enough as a case?

If you're referring to the full body shields I love them.. I've used a lot of different cases for a lot of phones but as long as your careful not to drop the phone from a good distance then these are perfect. Adds no bulk, prevents scratches, and I personally like the added grip it provides.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Also if anyone is wondering, I ended up cutting the protector for the back of the phone (standard battery) into two pieces. Covered up the top half before the lip for the battery starts then used the bottom half to cover the top of the little hump.

If you buy the matte black or white versions that show on Case Mates website, you'll be fine. After going through 5+ cases, I love the matte black barely-there case. It's also the best performing case when it comes to signal strength.
Beware of the mirrored silver versions, which block the GPS signal.
+1 for the matte black barely there. I've got this case and it's great. Offers no protection whatsoever for the front of the screen, but as long as your careful, it shouldn't be an issue.

Yeah i really only need protection for the back. I have the invisasheild and it works. I dropped my inspire on solid concrete from about 5 feet high and hit perfectly on the screen,I mean flat. And not even a knick. This was with no case too. So as long as the back is protected I'll be fine
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
+1 for the barely there. Been using it about three weeks now. Love it.. No issues with signal or gps. Great case all around for what it is and what you need it to do.
I have the barley there case also. ONLY downside is that it makes the phone a bit slippery to hold. It adds almost no larger profile to the phone though, and weighs nothing
Have one also (white one, my chic has the pink one) had it on my phone for a few months now and its great. No issues with anything at all. Well worth the money if your looking to get one.
Just got my Barely There casemate (pink) and I love it !! I'm a big fan of CaseMate though.. also had one for my BB.
been looking for a new case ... my otterbox is too damn slippery.
thanks for the mini-reviews.

If you like the strength of the Otterbox you should look at the Casemate Pop case for the Inspire. It's a bit bulkier than the Barely There cases but it has grip on the sides so it's not slippery. It's probably not quite as durable as on Otterbox but it's a pretty good case. I've liked mine a lot so far.
Bought the pink barley there case and I love it! its not too bulky either. Its perfect.
I think i'm finally gonna pull the trigger on one of these, I'd rather be able to go to like Best Buy to check it out 1st hand...
I have the Speck case now and it's large profile rubs me the wrong way sometimes...
I'm thinking of getting this case for my Inspire, and I can't tell from the pictures how accessible the volume rocker and the power/lock button are. Anyone who owns the case can you comment on the ease of use of the physical buttons on this phone with this case on?
I got my case from ATT when I got my phone. It's the speck hard case
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Ok, I finally got one!
I was heading home and stopped at a local mall that I haven't been to in years.
I love it, its so slim and sleek and almost feels like it is not there.
I know it doesn't offer much protection but its great.
It also came with 1 screen protector which I thought was weird...unless the jackass forgot to put it back in..
Also I grabbed the last one they had, in matte black.

Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
Mine came with one, but I choose not to use the protectors. The Gorilla glass is tough enough for my personal use style. 6mths and still not a single scratch. (I bet I just jinxed it damnit..)
I have this case as well and I like it. I have a bigger, bulkier case that I can switch to if I think there is a better chance of my phone being dropped or bumped around. There is a very small difference in reception but not much.
Great case for everyday use. Doesn't stick inside my pocket and it's lightweight and thin.
Just feel like sharing. I think it looks nice.

There isn't a soft surface between the phone is there?.. I went with the Speck CandyShell (34.95USD on-site, but only 17.99 on eBay) and it has a great fit and soft internal coating with a hard outer shell.
Cases with a hard interior can trap dirt and scratch the back of the phone.. at least in my experience.

Agreed! the Speck case is rocking though, I have that one as well. The rubbed inside also provide much more shock resistance.
But once again this thread has gotten way off topic, he took good pictures and gave his judgement on the case, that is what this section is for is it not? It is not for flaming others based on their personal preference!

This case is still on sale on Amazon at around $15 incl delivery. Quite a few people have reported delivery issues (delays, cancelations, etc) but from what I've seen the people that have the case are pleased. Just so you know the case cones in two pieces (thanks All__fun). I think if someone wants a cheap but theoretically durable case, this is a good starting point. If you don't mind waiting.
It is nice and well made. It is definitely the bulkiest case I've had as of yet. Also it's difficult to charge using the lg wcp700. It works but has to be put on the charger precisely.[/QUOTE]
All__fun said:
let me just add,
That after having the phone with no case for about a week now,
adding this case truly adds girth to the phone.
Previously the phone would slide easily in and out of my pocket,
you can't tell in the picture, but the case is actually a 2 piece case, a soft inner case, that the phone slides into, and a hard outer cover that gives the phone it's design. (the white, black, pink, or blue distinction.)
This is probably the best case out right now for the phone, but I can't stress enough how thick and bulky the phone is now. If you are willing to sacrifice it's sleek design, this case offers good protection.
I don't have a screen protector on right now, so I cannot add whether or not this peels off or interferes with the protector.
I will also add that with the Ionic case on, when looking at the lock screen, I find it more difficult to swipe left and right between different lock screens. I have a screen lock pattern, and that registers my finger strokes rather than a swipe to a different lock screen.

2. are there optional dust plugs for it?
3. if it's on stock on dec 17, will it arrive to NY before christmas?
thanks!
a seperate question: did anyone find a drop test with this case? i don't seem to find anything on youtube, i couldn't even find an official site.
fugly
i have to agree with the rest of you that it is one fugly case. ugh the price of protection.
If you hating on the circles just get black?
I ordered a blue one just because I'm board of black. I will let you how it is when it comes.
Perhaps the cutouts allow it to cool a bit and also make it lighter.. I don't think it looks bad.
As long as proximity works and the USB and head phone jacks are open I would buy it..

I don't really need a kickstand though. But I remember my Sensation Active case had the plastic ks. Not sure why they went with metal. Kinda detracts from the phone IMO. I may just need to look at it closer or when the final renders come out lol.

I'll say this' there is no other case I would trust my phone to in the long run. In my experience (and I've owned a LOT of cases) the seidio cases, and in particular the Active case, is the most protective, high quality case available for a cell phone. Cannot wait to order my Active case/holster combo.

Nope. I have used Active cases for my Sensation, Kindle Fire and now my Nexus 7. Just waiting to jump to get an Active case/holster combo when they have it available. I wish they made one without a kickstand to trim it down a notch.
These are normally my travel cases for my phones. However the Active case for my Nexus 7 is a daily case for me because I have a 4 yr old .
Super Excited
I have been waiting for the active since day 1 of having my nexus 4... can't wait to order it!!!
Surface in black only for now shipping! I'm not sure if I want to wait for the active or not, I am diggin the white surface lol.

Hey all.
I am really happy with this case I just wanted to share my experience with you all. This case is bulky it added an extra battery in the case and a good amount of protection similar to otter box. There is a mirco usb port that is always in your phone. It fits and seals well so no dust will ever get in the port. There is another 2600 mAh battery that sits in the case and once you push a button it will charge up your phone battery so really you would have 5200 mAh. There is a micro usb port built into the case. Once you plug the charger into it both batteries charge, so there is no need to take the case off to charge. The only thing I feel is lacking is a rubber cover for the cases usb port. I dont mind the extra bulk because of the protection it gives. If you are looking for a thin power case exolife or powerskin have good ones. I took a few pics that will give you some views that are not on thier website. If you are interested in this case I found 2 good coupon codes. "Summer13" gives you 35% and if that doesnt work "GOV13" gives you 30% off. I am not affiliated with trident and I paid for my case but I love thier products. http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-products/electra-case-samsung-galaxy-s-i-v.aspx

It sure does. The phone sits in a silicone case then put on the front cover that has a built in screen protector. Then install into the base as shown in my pics.

Is the micro usb cable flushed inside when the case is all built up? I'm concerned that may be when the phone drops with the micro usb port/case cable facing down, it damages the port itself.
Also can you compare it's thickness to a credit card so we can see how thick it is?
I'm really interested in this case and I'm happy that finally someone has it already

Not the greatest pics but...
The usb isnt flush but it has a rubber base and when I insert it it seems to stop before bottoming out in the usb port. To be honest its a pretty thick case. Its a business card in the
pic.

Wow! It looks amazing!
It'll make a great travel case!

Interesting. A Kraken with a built in battery. Nice that the battery is removable.
have you tried anything which uses NFC/Google Wallet? Curious if that still works.

I haven't tried the nfc or wallet. I have all that turned off, I never used it. I did notice where the extra battery sits there are 3 prongs for connection to the battery.

Wondering about using a 3000mah zero lemon battery in both the phone and the extra one in the case. 6000mah would be nice and still have a nice tough case. I like the big 7500mah battery they make, except no one seem to make a good case that will fit it.
can you take a picture of it from the side view for thickness and perhaps a quarter (which a lot of people have been using as a reference)?
Thanks.

Its definitely a thick case. The other case in the background is the Trident Kracken.

Trying to find a drop rating on it, but so far no luck.
The kracken is rated at 810f - which is 2 meter drop I think.
A normal extended battery case with the cheap hyperion TPU case is about half a cm smaller, so I imagine it must be able to withstand at least 810g (4 foot fall).

Yes, I am using it as my primary case. I need the extra protection and battery life. The battery life of my s4 is actually pretty good but I do a lot of internet radio when I work. Its nice to have the extra battery power when I'm at work. I'm not sure the quality of the extra battery but if I start to have issues I can just remove the battery out of the case and put in a known quality battery.
