Recommendations for cases.

[king72a]

I just recently got the HTC extended battery and cover from Verizon for half price. Great deal and love the fact I can get over a full work day out of this beast now. Can somebody please recommend a case that will fit this with the extended battery? I know they offer a belt clip with a case that will fit but I'd like to find something with a little better protection. Thank you in advance.

I got mine from htcpedia.com. It was only $20. It didn't include a belt clip though.

Look at page two of the Extended HTC Battery + Door post on 4/23. There are pictures of the gel case I cut out.

If I was going to get an extended battery case, it would be Otterbox. Their cases are the best.

I won't buy it though because I want a case with a kickstand. I don't think any of the extended battery cases have one.

Thanks everyone. I just ordered one from HTCPedia. Should have looked there first but I forgot about them.

The otterbox "fix" works just fine and still offers very good protection

Yeah, the extended battery door feels very resilient. There is empty space in it that acts like a shock absorber. If I dropped it I would not be worried at all if it fell on the back.

I bought this one for the extended battery:

It is a case and a holster and it has a kickstand.

I bought this one for the extended battery:

Original Verizon Rubberized Snap-On Case & Heavy-Duty Holster Combo for HTC Rezound w/Extended Battery (HTC6425HOC) - Cell Phone Covers and Faceplates for HTC Rezound

It is a case and a holster and it has a kickstand.

I have this one too and I'm happy with it. I just wish it protected the corners a little better but overall I like it.

That's the same case & holster you can get at the Verizon store(s). I use the same one. I got my case/holster combo plus extended battery and door for roughly $56 after tax and my corporate discount. I've been pleased with it and the kickstand is great for using the alarm clock!

If you want protection and don't mind bulk, the Kraken from AMS is the best case I could find. I've had mine for about two weeks, and love it. To make it work with the extended battery, you have to take your stock battery case and cut out the section where the battery fits (There are indentations to follow, it's quite easy with a sharp razor). Then you fit the case over the extended battery, and cut out a square in the silicone so the extended batter fits through without creating a hump. Then install the hard plastic outer, and you have a perfect case. It has rubber covers over all the ports, keeping pocket filth out of them (I ruined my headphone jack on my last phone by pushing gunk in). The thick silicone should act as a great shock absorber, and the buttons are much easier to locate/push now. The case is solid and well built, and surprisingly enough is completely unnoticeable in my pocket (And I'm only 5'3, it should look like I have a bible in my pocket. The kickstand is excellent as well.
