Thats good to know the silicone cover still fits. Even though it fits, it doesn't stretch it out to where the sides don't fit correctly, does it?
It fits, but not as good as with the regular battery and cover.
I've fought this battle for a few months with various cases and holster/case combination's, but still don't have the ideal solution that works perfectly with the extended battery/cover.
The best protection thus far is the "Best Buy" Platinum case with holster. Again, the fit is just "good enough", with the sides just closing, but with a very slight tendency to spread after prolonged use ... this case does give the phone good protection overall, but the combo does not offer very good dust protection, and that big top clip on the holster takes some getting used to.
The above would probably be the best "case only" solution with the extended battery cover also, IME.
The absolute best combo "fit", although it is a kludge, is the VZW holster, in combination with the VZW "shiny silicone" cover, but WITHOUT a battery cover at all.
The latter is really the kind of fit we are looking for, but it is nothing but a make do until something better comes along, and lots of folks don't like the idea of no battery cover at all.
What is concerning is that most of the good case makers seems to specifically exclude the extended battery cover from their product use.
And, with the built-in obsolescence and turn around for new models being less than a year these days, I'm not even betting we will see a solution custom made for the extended battery.
