Hi, i been looking and i cant find a case that fits my Samsung infuse 4g on att, I Have a extended battery on my infuse - is there any case out there for this ?
Not yet. I had a nice leather case that I can no longer use thanks to the extended battery. However, I found that by purchasing a high quality plastic skin for the phone, and cutting a square out of the back (see other threads on this forum), I was able to make a very nice, working case for my phone. Do use the higher quality plastic, though, because once you cut a whole in the cheap cases, they won't stay on your phone.
Cut a hole in a 1 dollar case and it's snug as can be.

I have HTC diamond with extended 1340 mah battery and I can not find a holster which will fit in with extended battery on. Any ideas? I need clip on holster which I can clip on belt, like this one.

If you go to this link, they are selling both the extended battery and the case.

There is no case there, just cover.
I'll also be interested in a case which is big enough for a diamond with extended battery, please inform us.
As for Trizo, you need to know the difference between a case and a back cover...
See response below from one of accessory vendors. Contact them as well to tell them that there is a market need for such accessory.

I purchased a leather clip on case from ebay which was designed to fit the standard diamond (I think - there is a little space top and bottom so it could just be a standard clip on case) but the diamond with the official extended battery also fits in it quite nicely. A little snug but works well enough for me.

i can confirm that this case fits the original htc 1350m battrey extended i have bought this alluminum case you must rip out the front plastic screen it just pops out and also you need to take all the stiky rubber cushion from the inside of the case it comes of quite easily but be sure to take your time once all the cushioning has been removed totally and the front plastic screen on the case the htc with the extended battrey will fir very comftably in the case i really like the fit and the case it looks scary at first dont worry it will be fine if you find your phone moves about abit the rubber cushion you took of earliier cut them in small tiny pieces and add them wherever you want you will end up with the best case on the marke for the extended battrey also the case is made from high quality alluminium that used on aircrafts thats why its abit pricy any question or help please dont hesitate to ask irm here to help as allways .pj
Thanks.
I found out that GSM diamond with extended battery is 1 mm higher and 0.5 less thick then CDMA diamond in US. So I got CDMA plastic holster and shaving off 1 mm to make it fit Diamond with extended battery right now. For any stretchable material (silicone or leather) it'll probably will just fine without any modifications.
That looks very good but I've got one of those for my previous device (Kaiser), they fit very comfortabley but the case keeps on opening after using it for a few months and you drop the phone on the floor as the clip becomes loose.

I just bought a black Roots Tek Sock for my Diamond with the official HTC extended battery. Although I still have to take the naked Diamond out to use it, it still maintains its beautiful look. In fact it looks nicer with the new battery, from the back.
My old silicone case does fit, but the front left and right sides are not straight anymore, so it looks lame.
sorry this is off topic but i also have the 1340mah battery but i need another battery cover for this battery mine is broken if anyone knows where i can purchase just the back cover please and thanx
cut the back side off?

Thanks, nice find! I bought a CDMA silicone skin and it only needs some shape up, as the holes for the screen, the camera and for the navigation pad aren't fitting exactly. But now everything's fine.
But why is the CDMA skin so expensive compared to the 2$ skins at DealExtreme?!?
Here's one for a few $,
http://cgi.ebay.ie/BLACK-SILICONE-S...trkparms=65:12|66:2|39:1|72:1301|293:1|294:50
Of course you would need to punch a hole for the front camera.
i would like to buy the backing for the 1340mah htc battery my son broke mine and i need a back lock fr the battery
I found this one, not sure if it is an actual back cover or one that goes over it.
Anyway if you've got a son it probably means that you are over 16, so I don't know about the style!

Anyone had any luck in finding a case to fit this beast? Preferably one that you don't need to remove to access the phone. Cheers.
This one maybe help:

Hey, thanks, but I meant a case for the phone with the extended battery attached.
Search for mugen batteries. They make outstanding batteries fire the i9000 and I own the 3200mha bat that comes with a case for it . Phone looks stupidly fat but at 2.3-2.5 times the battery life who cares. I also bought a 1600mha battery strom them typo replace the garbage samsung ships with and man battery life is way way better.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
At the moment, i have the pdair aluminium case, which is awesome, although will be useless with the new battery in place. Will probably have to saw a hole in the back of that case or another.
I got a cheap sheep skin case from ebay 3 months ago which had a glued on back hard plastic back cover to snap the SGS into it (its a right to left fold out case with magnet to keep front on) What I did was ripped the slim plastic holder out and hot glued the big new battery cover in its place. Sure its a little tight but it does the job as I simply cannot find a case to fit my 3500mah battery into
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?
Saw it on amazon. They said it would only work with their extended battery setup. It also appears the button areas are covered so that would make me think the case is stronger on the lip area near those buttons. I'm so curious to find out if it would fit on a Hyperion extended battery setup. Anyone try this already? I'm aware of the Hyperion tpu case and I don't like it one bit. It's too thin and the case is cut out for the buttons and weak in that area. A month or so ago, that honeycomb case was the only one out there for extended batteries.
UPDATE
It does fit the Hyperion extended life battery and door. It was a tight fit. I had to put the bottom in first then work the lip of the case over the edge of the screen all the way around. I've seen better quality tpu cases but this one does the job. It looks like you could take an exacto knife on the edges where they combined the top and bottom half. There's a little extra material there but no big deal. The volume and power buttons are not cut out so that will make the case lip area stronger in those spots. I didn't test the feel of the buttons with the case on. I just put the door on and case to see if it fits. For eight bucks, I guess there's not a whole lots to complain about. The case is gloss around the edges but matte on the flat back part. This is the most snug tpu case I've owned. It's not hard to put on, it's just snug and suggested you insert the bottom first. If you have a screen protector that is film, and not glass, and not perfectly centered, it might peel up the edges of it. I will post pictures from my other phone in a few minutes in case you're curious.
UPDATE 2:
Just tried getting the case on the phone with the battery installed too. It kinda fit but the lips of the case wouldn't completely catch over the edge of the screen. It would probably stay on but not perfectly. The Yesoo back cover, for their extended battery, must be a hair smaller than the Hyperion.

i read the review on the gs3 yesoo extended case. and according to that...its another flimsy tpu. I would assume the s4 case is the same.
seidio released their new extended case on their site. But you have to buy their set up. Case and back door..which would set you back $55 total.
I wouldnt mind paying that..But i had a seidio extended case for the s3...and the rubber was so flimsy around the edges. And loooking at the s4 case on their site...it seems to be another flimsy set up.
That being said. The seidio is the best protection u can get at this moment for the extended battery at this moment and time. and thats not saying much.
Seidio extended batteries with my past phones, the back battery for was very thin and flimsy and never fit perfectly. There were always gaps and would never snap completely shut.
Today I said to hell with it and ordered one to see if it fits. It should be here in the beginning of next week. The shipping damned near cost as much as the case. I hope it's good and fits. I'll report back when I finally get it.
I just received my Seidio extended battery today and I got the extended Active case and holster and it's great. It's probably the slickest setup you're going to get as far as extendeds go; a little pricey but worth it.

That looks like a decent case. Have you got a link for it?
Here I am, in total confusion. Should I buy a pouch or case?
Here's what I feel, think and want:
I like a pouch, because the phone inside is pure. I can take it out and I'll be holding the phone in its slimmest form (read: original form). On the other hand, I have used pouches before with my LG Optimus 2X and the cover got these marks where it always slid over the pouch (basicly, cover was screwed).
That said, it's pretty clear. I like to hold the S5 like I got it from the box. On the other hand I would like it to have some protection.
I feel that a flip case (from Samsung) might suit me the best, because it's pretty thin and covers the screen as well.
But, somehow I think that this flip case might be a bit unhandy sometimes (taking pictures, holding it to type, sturdy?).
What I'm asking: does anyone have experience with large smartphones and pouches?
Here's some links:
S5 Flip wallet
Krusell Pouch 1
Krusell Pouch 2
(also, if you know some other pouches - perhaps tailored for the S5 - do tell!)
I am looking for a pouch as well..using the one for I got for the S3 but for obvious reasons, it doesnt close the top portion unless if i force the velcro to reach, lol.
I'm also looking for a pouch for my S5. I've purchased a couple off of ebay. They are always too big. Has anyone found one that they could recommend that fits a naked S5? Not one that can also fit a Note. This is a big phone already and I don't want to have an even bigger pouch on my belt.
I'm not in the practice to carry a purse around. I carry a pouch on my belt. I use it to carry my phone, nothing else. I have a wallet in my back pocket for cards and such. I like the look and feel of the phone itself. I don't want to cover my well designed phone with a cheap case or even and expensive one. I'm looking for a pouch that fits the s5 cleanly and naked. All I've seen so far are ones that fit it with a case on it or they are universal and big enough to also fit a note. The note is a class bigger than I need.

I don't know exactly what you are looking for but I just received this pouch and my naked S5 fits in it perfectly with no room to spare. You may have tried one like this already. Once clipped onto your belt the case can be rotated 360 degrees through eight different, fairly firm positions 45 degrees apart. If you don't want the rotation capability you could easily glue it in the position you want. The flap is held in place magnetically.

Those are the specs I am looking for. But I'm also wanting a horizontal pouch. I also need a very good clip. I usually get one that has the the extra belt loops on each side of the clip. I work on a ladder all the time and usually have other things on my belt also. I've had lesser clips work their way off while up there and phones don't do well from a drop that far up.
