Just a short review of the red extended battery case.
One word "AWESOME". I was concerned about the case adding extra girth onto the already huge phone, but to my surprise it doesn't seem to add any extra weight. The reason being is the case is just a gel shell (if you will). It covers out the outtermost of the phone.
The phone in the back is still exposed for the extended battery part which is a negative. You could still drop the phone on the back and damage the battery cover. I was anticipating that the whole phone would be covered. IMO if you would buy a regular verizon red gel case and cut the back out of the case you will have yourself an extended battery case without the added cost.
If you are the type that needs an otter box type of case this is NOT for you, again the back is exposed.
If you have any questions ill be happy to answer any.
FYI posted on a few different forums so if you see at a few different places, yep its me lol.
I wonder how this compares with the one that Verizon sells for the extended battery.
I just received the case and I'm pretty disappointed. All they did was take a regular tpu case and cut the back out from it. They did a decent job but your really paying for the labor. $25 shipped was not worth it. Just buy some tpu cases from ebay and cut them yourself. I'm buying some that actually cover the power and volume buttons. Another reason why I don't like this case.
Just ordered a black case. We will see how it goes. I did not see a return policy listed on htc pedia's site, so hopefully its not a POS. I really wish that Seidio would get on making a case for this phone.
nvm

So it is a TPU type... People keep saying "gel" and "silicone" cases and that makes me think about the soft rubbery kind. I hate those.
I am thinking about getting the same exact one but it sucks that its not free shipping

Have had this case on a few days now. I am happy with it, however, it is just a TPU case that is cut. You could easily cut one yourself and save the money, but if you do not want to mess with it then it is worth it. The case is really nice IMO, I like it much better than the holster style with kickstand that I was using before. I am buying time until Seidio makes an Active case for it, it will do for now. HTCpedia shipped fast and were very courteous so I would and will buy from them again.
I bought this case after seeing this post and I actually love the thing (I got high gloss black). I like the feel of it and it looks cool as hell with the matt black finish of the stock back exposed.
I was in BestBuy yesterday and a couple of the employees went nuts over the case and wanted to know where I got it.

Heads up guys. tpu-cases.com has a "real" tpu case designed around the extended battery. They have it in black and pink and it's only $12.90. Not sure what shipping cost.

I came across this company on ebay. They're custom made leather cases with some really cool designs/styles.
I have no affiliation with this company, just thought I'd pass it on.
They even make a case that doubles as a wallet.

There's a few threads around here already that mention these cases.
A number of us have already ordered from them as well.
G1 Case used for the Touch HD
I was searching high and low for a case at the mall. Nothing would fit. That's what I get for getting this phonne and living in America. No regrets, of course. I love the phone. But, I did find that the HTC G1 slip case fits the TOuch HD perfectly! It's not bulky, and it slips into my pocket without a problem. The padding of the case seems to protect it quite well, and it is easy to get it in and out. The nice lady at T-Mobile gave it to me for free.
Yep, got one of these
I received mine on Saturday morning. The quality of workmanship is superb. It fits perfectly (as you'd expect) and my HD will slide slowly in or out under its own weight (after one day of being a little tight). The leathers look to be of high quality and the finish is excellent, including the sealing around the edges of the leather and the evenness/tidiness of the stitching, etc. Mine is brown Nappa leather outside and brown suede microfibre inside, with a low-profile belt loop on the back.
It's also very sturdy and I'm sure that my HD would survive a fall onto a hard floor if inside it.
It took 12 days from ordering to delivery (from Hong Kong to Surrey).
I know it needs to show itself to be sturdy over a few weeks, but so far, so good...
I usually am skeptical of buying from Chinese sellers on Ebay, but I might give this one a go. Anyone else tried them?
i bought this OEM case and it fits my hd fine

this is HTC Touch HD Leather Case (Book Type)
Krussel case works for me
I got my Krussel case from play.com for just £14.99 inc. delivery.
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/8142837/Krusell-Orbit-Flex-Case-For-HTC-Touch-HD/Product.html
The folding bit on most cases protects the screen but gets in the way when making calls or in general use. On the Krussel it's easily removable and I rarely use it, but it's there when needed.
@bigjee: a friend of mine and me bought this case a few weeks ago and i can say, theres no better one! the quality is excellent and its shipped really fast. the advantage is its choosable design! buy it, you won't be disappointed!
Well, i kinda went on a case craze in the last couple days..
purchsed 3 different sets from amazon, and one from popcase, and one from BB today..
so here is the BB case. its got a nice soft rubber feel to it. case fits snug and does the job really well. downside its $$ compared to the others. 30+ bucks..
I am waiting for the 3 dollar amazon cases to arrive. will make a final decision then.. but for now, im really liking this case!!!
another thing to mention, this case fits in the official car dock sold @ sprint retail stores.(i know bc i have one)

i have this but with no kickstand ... only thing i have bad to say about it is the case its self needed some type of texture its really smooth and slick i have just about dropped my phone a few times cause the case is so slippery
have a link for that case w/kickstand?
Have the non-kick stand version of this case. Dropped my phone about 3 feet getting out of my car the other day and it saved the phone. No issues I can tell (knock on wood)
This is the one that I went with (without kickstand) as well. I tried a bunch of different cases, and I ended up sticking with this one (but mine is Sapphire Blue).
I haven't dropped it yet, but I really like this style of case. I had the Seidio Surface case on my old EVO since I got it.
Unfortunately once you take that case off and put it back on you will notice how loose it feels.

Yep, the top half is loose. It is rather annoying because you will start to notice it anytime you pick it up.
As a result I will be returning my surface. I love the case and holister, but for $35 dollars it should loosen up like it does. I purchased a TPU case to hold me over tell the offical HTC kickstand case comes out.
I'm not a fan of cases, but I have this same case on my EVO3D. I wish the kickstand flipped out from the other side so I could charge while it was standing up. I didn't know it fit with the factory car dock, maybe I will pick one of those up. I haven't dropped my phone yet, but I think it would protect it pretty. I like the matte finish to the case too.

I have heard that it does indeed fit with the car dock (at least the igrip sprint sells)
Go try it out, at the sprint stores they will let you unbox the dock and give it a feel.
Here is another case I found during my search for unique, high-end cases for our phones. The company who makes it is AG Findings. They own Ballistic, so it's not some no-name company. It is a TPU case with a leather inlay on the back that adds some sturdiness and refinement to a standard TPU case. I actually ordered this case and it should be here Thursday. I'll post pictures when I get it.
Again everywhere I've looked says it fits I777...so we will see.

That's a fine looking case right there. I'm getting a SGSII today hopefully if they come in stock so I'll also be in the market for a case.
I use this case, it's holding up well. AT&T actually carries this one in the store, which is where I purchased it.

I see it for $16 on Amazon w free shipping. I already have a couple of other cases, including the Casemate pop stand (white) and Incipio Featherlight case. While I liked the Pop up stand, it's a bit bulkier than I'd like. Any idea how this one compared to the Casemate pop up case? I like the look, guess I'll do some more research before pulling the trigger on this one.

I think its about as slim as you can get while still having reasonable protection. Id say its definitely slimmer than the pop. Its a classic looking and understated case and feels great in the hand. I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow evening.
Any luck with taking some pictures?
Right! Sorry about that...here's the pics:
Nice! I dig that style.
I may have to pull the trigger on one.

Yeah it is nice. It fits pretty tight and feels good in the hand. The material is smooth to the touch and doesn't snag in pockets. I found it on Amazon for around $12 if I remember correctly. The hole at the top for the headphone jack may not work with some headsets. For example in my car my AUX cable has to be shoved into it with some force to get it plugged in, but once in it stays there. You could always use a hot nail to open the hole up a bit.
I'll probably bore it out with my Dremel
Got my case in today. So far, I'm really digging it. The buttons are a little tougher to press, but I'm getting used to it.
The case is a little tough to get on/off, at least at first. I do like that the case is VERY snug. The case has a good feel to it, although it could have a little more grip to go with the texture. It's also surprisingly light.
I also have a Case-mate Pop Case and an Incipio Feather Ultralight Case, so I decided to take pictures to compare all three.
The Incipio Feather case is by far the slimmest, next is the Magnate, then the Case-Mate case. I paid $25 for the Case-Mate, $21 for the Incipio, and $15 for the Magnate, although the Magnate said $35 on the box and arrived in the official AT&T store packaging.
While the Incipio case was the lightest, it also offered the least protection. I'd probably rate the Magnate case and Case-Mate the same as far as Protection goes. I couldn't be much happier with this case.
Ok folks.. I have been looking for a back cover for my gtablet and I found one at NewEgg. It comes in both Black and Clear... for those of you that are interested its a polycarbinate material.... And is only 13.00, its suppose to have all the right cut outs and such....
The Company name is GreatShield Guardian Series Slim-Fit PolyCarbonate Hard Case for ViewSonic gTablet 10.1 Multi-Touchscreen Tablet
Found the same on buy.com for $10.95
I opted for a case with keyboard. Here :- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004JF9N1O/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
The case is hard leather the keyboard and stand are a bonus, I figured it may come it useful to have a keyboard close by. If you need a keyboard it's worth a little extra.
Why not to electroniccrap.com have a look.. There are many toies for Gtablet..
Did you buy this greatshield case? Thoughts?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Just ordered mine today through Amazon as I wanted to get something else so I was able to get free shipping. Now just need to sit and wait for it..stated for delivery sometime next week. I'll post back with my thoughts.
Recieved this item.
Yes I did use GreatShield, I wanted it in black and it was only offered in clear thru Newegg. So I went to the Greatshield site and ordered in in black. And it arrived 5 days later, via USPS.
Works like a charm, all the cut outs are correct. NO shape edges and it pops right on. It was worth the wait and the price.
Well the Greatshield back cover arrived today. First impression wasn't what I was expecting...I was thinking it was more like the material like those Cruzerlite covers are made of for phones. This is actually just hard plastic with a painted black soft touch paint on it, kind of like the soft touch plastics found in many cars. Actually VZW sells sliding belt holsters which are pretty much the same concept as this cover. Either way its another layer on the back of the tablet that adds a little bit more thickness which I actually don't mind plus the soft touch paint gives it more grip.
All ports and physical buttons are exposed which is great but the only thing which could bother some is access to the micro sdcard slot/USB port cover is a little difficult. You will have to peel the back cover off slightly to get it opened if you access that slot and port. Oh getting this thing off is kind of a pain since the tablet is a little bigger than a phone. I find sitting on the couch while trying to get the cover off is better just incase things go flying.
Anyways on to the pictures (sorry for the blurry pictures, these were taken with my Droid X):

The extra grip must be nice.
I always worry when I one hand mine that it is going to slip out of my hands since it's kind of slick.
I've had my ultraslim for about 5 days now and had a pm from a member here regarding it, so figured I'd post a few pics and a mini review. First off, good customer service. About a week and a half went by after I ordered and I had not received my case yet (I'm in PA, they're in CA i believe). I called up and the rep said it appeared it might've gotten lost by usps due to the tracking not being updated. No questions asked he sent me another via Fedex priority and I had it two days later.
Pics and then a bit more info:

First, I definitely like this case. With the size of the note, I was way too hesitant to drop good money on something that would make it any bigger. I've never used a pouch for a phone before but I'm liking this. White on white looks great too, to me. Have had some compliments on it already.
Fit: I received my case literally as I was going out the door to go to the gym. As I immediately noticed that my phone kept rebooting every time I put the phone in the case, and when it was on, the volume kept changing. I realized the inner seams were pressing up against the buttons. I was very upset at first, and then realized I just had to put it in a bit crooked so the seams run along the edge of the buttons rather than on them, not a big deal. Took about a few days for my case to start breaking in and now the note fits snugly but easily pulls in and out of the case. Also note that the case has kind of formed to the 'crooked' way that I put the note in. It's not like I need to make sure I'm avoiding the seams when I put the phone in, it just slides in exactly how I want it to now.
I rock my note upside down in the case, since I have BLN on. All I have to do is lift up the top flap a bit and I can see if I have notifications.
Protection: Obviously it'll keep away scratches. Drop protection... it really is thin. However, I'd be fairly confident that on a regular drop, the case would save it. It's basically just a thin layer of leather, but I think it's enough to absorb the shock. It's like the difference between the metal cased iphones and plastic phones... just a little bit makes a difference. That said, I'm not going to test it. But it really does add essentially no noticeable bulk or weight, and gives you a better grip when removing it from your pocket.
Feel free to ask any questions.
Very classy looking, thanks for the share.
nice pocket. where did you buy it?
bought it direct from them through their website.
What was the price? Do you think it would fit with an elago slim fit case? White looks so sexy on this phone..

$35. And I don't quite understand your question... See you asking if your phone with case attached will fit in the pouch? No.. It's designed to perfectly fit the phone. Then again I don't know how thick your case is but I highly doubt it and aren't sure why you'd use both
