I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the surface case for the oem extended battery along with a holster. i would have much preferred the active case for the oem extended battery with no kickstand, but it doesn't seem to be in the works. shame.
I had surface cases on my previous phones and while I've always used them, seeing the active case on my mother in law's phone really made me want that for this phone. the extended battery isn't much improvement over the stock battery, but at this point i have two so i'm not going to go back to the stock battery just for a case.
The surface case fits a bit big (I hear something rattling when I shake it) and i don't care for how slippery it is, but perhaps that will change in time. I don't recall my Droid case being this slippery. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. i also have a cruzer lite case, but i want to be able to have a case and holster.
seidioseidio, are there any plans for the surface for the extended battery in other colors?
