so i ended up getting the extended battery... and while it fits inside my diztronic TPU case.. its so snug that it presses in the volume buttons... so that ended up being a waste for me. Will wait to see if some extended battery cases come out or if anyone can recommend one that they got that fits

Is this with the extended battery back? One person is saying in the Extended battery thread that the stock back fits with the extended batter in it. You could give that a try and see if it helps.

Don't feel bad. I don't have the extended battery and the Diztronic presses my volume buttons sometimes. :(

I'm also interested in a holster, but I need to know it'll work with the extended battery. I know it doesn't add much bulk to the phone, but it was enough that the otterbox wouldn't fit around it. The sales guy and I tried as he was ringing me up.

He may have been doing it wrong, I've had an otterbox case on my phone with the extended battery all day with absolutely no problems or issues.

How is the rubber around the screen? Does it look like its going to trap dirt and wear a line around the screen? My seidio did that.

It's a rather good seal, but I can't attest to it's durability in that field just yet. I do think it'll attract a bit of a dust around the edges, but I've found all cases do that around the seal area.

Anyone ever used a Case Mate before? I am looking at the Tough Case...any thoughts?

I have one for my t-bolt and its great. not only does it look great, but it feels great too.

i dont like rubber cases because it pulls out the lining of my pocket when i pull it out of the pocket. the case mate i have has plastic on the back and sides but rubber over the buttons.

had it since i bought the phone and its been great. i plan on getting on with the nexus, but can't upgrade for a month :eek:

Oh well, price on the phone will hopefully drop by then and i will use my savings for a new battery and case.

I have the Diztronic case, here's the front and back. Seems to be pretty good so far. My screen protector covers the entire phone, and the edges of the case kind of are pushing up against the protector lifting it a little. I may sand/file them down just a wee bit.

How much bulk does this add? I'm interested in a case, but really don't want to add any thickness like some other cases I have owned.

casemate barely there or incipio feather? what would you pick. looking to just keep phone slim but kinda protected. I never really use cases but thought i might be a good time to protect this precious phone

the incipio feather is VERY nice on the iphone. ive never had the casemate equivalent but i think i may get it over the feather because it seems the coverage is slightly better.
