They make some sweet cases with batteries built in. I emailed them a couple weeks ago and finally got a response. First email they sent back was kinda funny. They didn't believe I had the At&t version. Said they didn't think it had been released. Made it funny because I was using my phone to email them.
The model for our phone should be up for sale November 10.
Here's some screenshots of the email.

They did.'t believe you? Haha
You shoulda made them give you a free case for doubting you
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I'll be getting this case as soon as it's out! I see that they already have the Tmobile version available on their site.
Crap I just bought a extended battery, looks like I'm buying another one.
That looks pretty much ideal.
How much though?
I am ALL over this! Hopefully the case will look nice. By reading the description for the Tmo version, it sounds like the case will be silicone?
probably, the one i had for my inspire was silicone, but the price is nice
Still not out yet. What's up with that!
Maybe they got wind of the Skyrocket and decided to put their R&D effort that way
Just sent them an email asking why it wasn't available yet.
If you are planning on getting one you can sign up on their website to get emailed a discount code when a case is first made available. I imagine once it comes out officially you won't be able to get the discount.

Thanks for the update...
I emailed David a long time ago to confirm the date and never got a response...
I emailed him today and got a response which stated the case would be available on the 25th but in the email he referred to it as the Skyrocket so its probably not for our phones.
Well you see his response to me. Here was my email to him
And yeah, no discount code :-(
They already got the phones mixed up once. Who knows if they got it right this time? Guess we'll have to wait and see. Again.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
How well does their cases protect the phones?
These cases got horrible video reviews on YouTube. Did anyone actually try these?
Based on their responses (or lack thereof) and not being able to distinguish the Skyrocket from our phone, I am not putting any faith anymore in this vendor to be honest.
Too bad -- seemed like a decent alternative.
I know. Makes you wonder about a company that doesn't know their own products.

Begin service with AT&T
get an Infuse 4g
after a few days, if you don't like it better than your 3vo (you won't), return it and cancel your AT&T service
Keep the MHL dongle that comes with the phone, the guy at Sams told me all that really matters to them is that the phone and charger are in there, never even noticed I had left out the MHL dongle
requires like 125 bucks laying around (Sams Club price), but at least you get it right back, only thing you pay for is a few days service
so you basicly scam and act like a stealing criminal. nice....

I hate ATT as much as the next guy, but stealing is never right..
I would just be thrilled to be able to find a Tmobile store in chicagoland that had them in stock!!!
the sams guy told me to keep it, so it wasn't stealing
He said on returns the only thing that really matters is having the phone itself, the battery, and the charger on the return
I'm kinda torn on this.... Now I would never go sign up for At&t and get a phone just so I could return it and keep the MHL adaptor. BUT, I'm sure many of you have gotten a replacement device under warranty and kept the battery, battery door, or charger/usb cable whenever you returned the device. I know Sprint has told me to keep all the accessories and just ship the phone back, which I have done. If that was the case with the OP, then I dont see a problem. Now telling people to go sign a contract with AT&T just to keep a MHL adaptor is a different story though. Too much work and probably not even that much cheaper than just buying the adaptop after you pay for 3-4 days of service, figuring that the plan is $100 a month, divided by 30 days is around $3.33 a day, 3.33 x 4 is over $13... Just buy one for $20 and save the hassle and dishonesty... just my 2 cents...

Umm.. i never took the back plate off (you should really learn to read)?
And all of them have many problems, the ones mine had everyone here has (though they may not admit it). I was not willing to bend over and let asus stick it to me so I sold it.
I lost money on the deal. Sold the gamestop bundle which comes with a bluetooth controller (retails $539 + shipping and tax), also included a black origami sleeve ($39.99).

Anyone else get this because I think we should all kick up a stink collectively.

I have to agree Craigslist has gotten worse over time. I use to be able to sale something and get most of what I spent on it, but now I only get about a fraction. But, I don't entirely blame Craigslist for this, I have come to realize android phones really do not retain there value well because the sheer number of them in the market. I know bringing up Apple may get me flamed but Igadgets do fare a lot better on Craigslist even after the next iteration is released. And yes I own a Note and an IPad 3/hd/New..

I guess right now it doesn't bother me as much as when it was a stuck pixel. I know the lines there so it doesn't bother me as much. The pixel just annoys the crap outta you because you look for it every time you turn the phone on haha.
I know how that is. Everytime my rezounds screen dark colored I would try to count how many dead pixels I could see in the nickel sized cluster of dead pixels it had. Most i could see were 12 lol. But didnt bother me enough to get a new one.
