It doesn't seem to be on their official website yet. Just another option in case you dont want to modify a Trident case for the extended battery.

someone HAD to say it. Alright here it goes. Lets make a bulky back even blukier lol the extended battery doubles the thickness so the otterbox has to at least triple it. i mean if you want to hold a two ton tank, go right ahead but i wont be getting this anytime soon...
EDIT: they arent making a different kind. the video shows them NOT useing the plastic back. just the silicon. they are MacGyver-ing a case for the extended back

Yup. I was going to say that too because it looks like all they did was not use the back peaice cuz ive seen pictures of someone that did the same thing and it looked exactly the same.
Thats just a regular OB defender just streched.
Exactly. Read my post or watch the video on the website lol

Tried it, had it on my phone for less than 5 minutes and couldn't stand it. I'm taking it back to Verizon tomorrow :/
so could i buy a regular otterbox defender for rezound and then just not use the back and put it on my extended battery rezound.
That really gonna protect your phone when u drop it on the back
its still probably better then a stock extended battery silicone case.
lololol i wonder if they're taking the backs out of the packaging and selling it for like 2 dollars cheaper hahah...extended battery version my ass.
Could you imagine how thick this bastard would be if they actually had a defender with the back for the extended? I'd have to get the oversized giant jackass pants like all the kids are wearing these days. It definitely wouldn't fit in my skinny jean pockets!!
i might buy the defender on amazon for 27 bucks and just take the back off. i love the way the buttons feel.
IT actually protects well best option for protection with the extended battery. I actuall took the back dremeled out the area for the extended back and it works great. U be dropped my phone on concrete and asphalt and no damage.
i wanted to see what it was like in person before deciding to buy one but no one seems to have it in stock(verizon store, best buy, etc).
so no one ever answered my question from earlier
is this just a normal rezound otterbox defender with no hard back?

i just ordered a otterbox defender from amazon for 30 bucks shipped. i might try to dremel out the back, or just not use the back
man that case makes the phone look soo thick.
i got my defender in today for my rezound. it is so much better then the Verizon extended battery. the buttons are so much easier to hit the buttons and it feels alot better in my hands. i got it for 18 bucks used on amazon.
Well I thought the Rezound was all ready fat with the extended battery. That case adds another 6 inches to it. You probably can't even fit it into your pocket with that case on.

Does anyone own the High Gloss Silicon Case available direct from Verizon. It comes in 3 colors. $19.99 each.
They have a sale this weekend, buy 3 items get 20 percent off, buy 5 items get 30 percent off.
I was planning on getting the screen protectors directly from them also, and maybe an extra STANDARD size battery.
What do you guys think?
Here is the Verizon link:

honestly, i'd just reccommend checking out cruzerlite tpu cases...go checkout my thread for pics, reviews and links to their stuff..they're much cheaper than 20 bucks..that's really expensive

I coughed up the $20 for this case in black. I bought the phone just before traveling on business and did not want it naked. (I actually had just decided not to purchase another phone for a while as I had my Incredible rooted and on a stable ROM with a great kernel, etc. etc., but the LCD cracked. I suspect it was a Verizon OTA screen cracking exploit nobody knows about....)
I like how the case wraps around the Rezound. I also suprisingly like the gloss. We'll see how it holds up. I typically keep a case for a few months then decide I want something "else." Once a phone is rooted, I need to be able to pull the battery frequently while tinkering around with it, so a silicon case is a nice option, as opposed to a hard two-piece case that I'm constantly pulling apart. It feels like a "better" case than the cheaper silicon ones I can get at the stand at the mall right outside the Verizon store.
Picked up the red gloss case and so far so good I like that it doesn't add any bulk.

the standard clamshell holster that verizon sells has always worked on the silicone cases on all the phones I have had.. bionic, charge, tbolt and razr; yes i may have a problem
I have the black one aswell. I liked it ok for a cheap case... I didn't like that the camera wasn't really protected... But that's really it tbh. Love my commuter otterbox

I have the vzw one in red, got it with the phone... fits good, looks decent, not bulky. I like it.
Yep, I have the black high gloss case also. With the case on, the Rezound fits perfectly in my hand and the case adds a nice grip to avoid dropping

Grabbed the black one when I picked up the phone. Fairly nice but not worth 20 bucks imo. Once my Otterbox commuter comes in, it's going back and I'll pick up a car charger.

I have been looking for one, for weeks now, Ebay, Amazon sor far nobody carry them. Even if is a TDP one. I just cannot carry the phone naked.
Well it looks like noone is even reading or sayin anything about a case for this phone with the extended battery.

I'm looking at the mugen extended battery. How is it working out for you? Pro's.. Con's?
Tks
It works great but I went back to the stock battery. I was bangin up my phone to much without a case.
Have you considered getting a silicone case?
Just do a quick google search/
May be worth looking at and it should stretch over the battery.
X batt case.
Have you looked at Seido cases? My understanding is tht they make a case tht works with their xtended batt and cover. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry It's a leather pouch you wear on your belt. Not a wrap around the phone type of case. My bad.
This would be the holy grail of photon accessories. Just performed a painstaking search of amazon and the seidio site (I saw that they sometimes make compatible cases), unfortunately, came up with nothing.
There's another thread about extended batteries where one of the people is going to attempt to modify his Otterbox Defender, and give instructions on how to do the same. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23379692&postcount=12
Here's hoping someone addresses the need for extended batteries sans naked phone.
Modded Holster
Don't know if this helps the predicament, but if you just try to add a few more millimeters on each side of the holster that's being sold at the sprint store (i did this with foam stickers) your phone will slide right in and stay snug. Not exactly a case, but i found that i haven't yet dropped my phone by using a holster. (fingers crossed)
Do you want Maximum Protection and Maximum Batterylife Yet you can only choose one or the other. well ive got news for ya . Introducing the Otterbox MAXIMUM edition Extended Case
This otterbox DEFENDER series Sets a good example for other phone cases on how they should be built. this case fests a Wamping 3500 Mah Hyperion Batterypack and Fits absolutely perfect Without even violating a percentage of protection.
This case took 2 hours to prep and 2 hours to make.
The case was a success !.
And now for the pictures.
Awesome! Just what I've been looking for. Gonna Google this to see how much it cost.
I'm afraid its doesn't exist till now . I crafted this whole design except the patent patent of otter boxes design
Ah, makes sense now!
What's protecting the battery's heat from the rubber?
some type of heat resistant tape. there are just a few things left that I have to do to complete it-
Maybe Otter will see this and start developing something like it! I would love to have a 3500mAH with the protection of the case.
Yeah I have like 4 of those for free.

Nice work man,
I did a mod like this on my defender for the hd2 HERE the case for that phone is a slightly different design + the battery is right in the middle of the case which helped.
I just did one for the Ballistic for the EVO which isnt as tidy but has been going strong for about 2 months.
I want to do a V2 of the ballistic a bit tidier this time .
Did you have to cut your backplate? I used the remainder of the extended one I used for the "bulge"
pics below>
EDIT Inspired by posting here last night, I was up late in the workshop V2!
Bottom 3 pics are the re-worked mod.
More people should try this mod on either Ballistic or Defender it takes some skill and the right materials but its totally do-able
Guys keep this up! I definitely need a case for this 3500 battery. I dropped this phone twice today. Face down! My luck may run out if I do it again.

Yeah man, throw some pics up soon, I love these mods!
one of the reasons why I got the evo3d over the sensation was the Extended battery/rugged case potential
Here are pictures of my 3D with the Seidio 4000.
First picture shows the back of the 3D.
Second picture shows the inside of the holster. It was dremeled to allow the bigger battery to fit comfortable.
Third picture just shows the phone sitting on the holster.
Fourth picture shows the phone clipped inside the holster. You can't even tell that there's a big fat battery inside there. =)
The last few pictures shows the cradle that i made out of pvc pieces. Besides not having to take the phone out of the case, you can angle the phone forward or backward when watching videos so it's very convienient.
(I've also made a simple mount out of plexi glass for my car that will work with the 3D inside the Defender. Which I will take pictures of and post after I get my car back from the body shop sometime this week.)
So is anyone going to put a tutorial on how to do these mods? I would really like to protect my phone with this beast of a battery on.
I wish I had taken photos as I was making the mods, but I didn't think about it. However, all you really have to do is SLOWLY cut out the back of the cover with a dremel tool.
*edit*
Oohaylima - if you were planning on using the 3500mah battery, then you don't have to dremel out the inside of the holster or cut the rubber on the case, bcuz I didn't have to when I had my 3500, but that battery didn't work as well as the Seidio 4000. I was trying to save a few bucks by buying the cheaper battery but in this case, you really do get what you pay for.
i have the same case and battery but i havent done this and i was wondering if the battery stays in or does it fall out

The holster is what keeps the battery in. So if you use the case with the holster than it shouldn't be a problem.

Right! That's one of the worse feelings in the world when it comes to damaging a vital electronic device.
Ok, so this is my first thread on these forums. If I'm breaking the rules or posting incorrectly, etc. Please let me know how to fix it.
I went ahead and got all the measurements off of various sites before I attempted this. I lost the paper I wrote the dimensions on. But this does work. I used an exacto knife, old pair of wire cutters and a file. I wish I had a dremel to do this, It would've been a lot cleaner and more exact.
I ordered an OEM Thunderbolt Extended Battery, Otterbox Defender Case, and a Zagg Screen Protector. I've been using this setup for a month now and am very pleased.
I spent $65 total on amazon.com and zagg.com for everything.
I first laid the battery in the battery cover and scored the edges. I pushed through it on one corner than began to cut. I filed down the edges. I then laid the cover in the Otterbox case and scored the outline. Then I ran the exacto back and forth for quite a while until I got through on one edge, than began to cut.
Here are my results. I know the images aren't the best quality. I haven't bought a new camera since before I've had my first android.
I peeled a bit of the padding out of the back of the Otterbox case and put it on the battery just to see how much it would push out the silicon cover, not much.
Now I am going to double-side tape the left over rectangle of the battery cover to the battery and get some weather stripping and place it on top of that.
The Zagg and the Otterbox mate well at first, eventually they begin to separate around the edges, I used the spray between them that came with the Zagg shield. The Zagg stays in place though. I haven't noticed any dust or debris since it's started. So far over this month they've stayed together in the center. I don't mind it as I am pretty hard on my phones physically and usage wise. It's hard to tell when the screen is actually on.
If you have any questions that I haven't answered, just let me know.
Thanks for looking.
How well has this been working for you? I have been planning on doing the same thing.

I saw on htcpedia that you can actually use the Defender case without the back plastic piece. Just wrap the silicone outer cover around the phone with just the front plastic on. Haven't tried it but their video shows that it seems to fit perfect.
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2
The problem with doing that is the phone will not fit in the holster screen out and the volume buttons are way to sensitive. If you cut the otter box back and the standard battery door everything fits nearly prefect.

I believe that also voids your (lifetime) warranty. Commuter cases are better anyway, but that's just me..
*Sent...*
You should read the fine print. Its hardly a lifetime warranty. In fact is only for a year. And if you have a flaw within that year, they will only replace it once. Besides, how many things can really go wrong with a phone case? Once it breaks, your probably ready for a different one anyway.

Looks and fell you can't even tell you did the mod. I did nice clean cuts the battery cover was so close on my cuts a had to go back with sand paper as I was not getting cell service do to the antenna no connected. So take your time the OEM batt cover already has the outline of the battery so that cut is very easy. after that just lay the back cover in the outerbox and mark and cut you will be very happy with it.
I ended up doing it yesterday and I'm in love
. You really can't tell it's there. The only thing I'm wondering is the dimensions of the 4000 mah battery because I'm wondering if it will work with this mod. Can anyone chime in? Is it bigger then the OEM extended battery?

Well the 4000 mah battery has to be the same around so even if it is thicker I think the outerbox rubber will still give in and pull over it just fine.
Today I did the same case mods.
I purchased a used standard rezound back piece for $5 + $4 for shipping. This way if I screw up I only lose the used back piece.
Well I did a good tight job on the back piece. It's like HTC already put cutting lines inside the back piece to make it easier for us. I used a dremel tool with cutoff wheel. Also used a file to smooth it out.
On the defender box I cut the rectangle a little too low and had to lengthen the hole. But I don't think it matters that the hole is 1/8 inch larger than necessary.
I am generally pleased, but I suspect this leaves the phone more vulnerable to water damage if it becomes submerged in liquid.
Sorry to everyone for not checking on this thread in such a long time. This has had a very solid feel. I love the rezound. Also, as for the 4000mah battery. I looked at the youtube video about it. It is a tad thicker than the OEM extended battery. But I see no reason why it wouldn't fit. The silicon will stretch. I'm actually looking into getting the 4500mah battery from mugen for the thunderbolt to see if that will work. I don't mind the added bulk, obviously haha. I also need to clean my case up with my dremel. I've just been lazy. I can take pics of this phone later to show how it's held up. The only other thing is it is hard to fit the phone in screen out in the belt clip if you want to use it as a stand. With any mugen, imho, it will not fit that way at all. But regular face in, no battery will affect that.
I'd be careful about handing all that cash to mugen. Their batteries are under 80 percent of the claims.

price seems pretty steep for a silicone case. TPU cases usually go for the same amount or cheaper and they come off just as easy but offer more security than silicone cases.
if you jumped on the deal for the extra chargers for work, i would reconsider for something more reliable. i, and many others, would vouche for this car charger bc it charges nearly as fast as a wall charger and has a long track record, though i got it for $2 at the time:

Or maybe ill just wait to see what comes out after the release date if im not happy with the silicone one.
A friend of mine has that motorola charger and I agree, it does work well.
If you end up being happy with it, then you got a great deal. If you notice that the silicon stretches over time, consider TPU, which is equally cheap. I understand exactly what you mean about throwing a lot of money away...
Just to update: I got the phone today and ive had the case for a couple days now. The case fits perfectly. Everything lines up to where it should be.

I prefer the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) cases, they add the least amount of bulk and provide adequate protection. I have one on my 3D and with a screen protector it has survived a year with a few light drops and is still in mint condition.
I ordered the same one on ebay as listed above (Smoke) and got it today, good seller fast shipping
Plus they are only around $5-$10 delivered! Compared to my wife's $40 otterbox that has been warrantied 4 times in less than 11 months!

Plus they are only around $5-$10 delivered! Compared to my wife's $40 otterbox that has been warrantied 4 times in less than 11 months!

Looks great, a little lighter smoke than the one I have for my 3D. Still allows for the red to shine through. I got Item #261030362042.
I'm in TX and got it in 2 days, never know with USPS and Monday is holiday.

Cool thanks for the info! Im glad the red can still show. Im in NY so it'll prob take a few days. Although ur right, USPS has surprised me on some occasions and ive gotten things from cali in like 2 days. Weird.

Hey guys I just ordered this case/accessory bundle. I basically just need a case thats easy on/off for work. I dont use a case on my personal time. Im tired of the 2 piece seidio case on my OG evo so thats why I didnt go with another one for this phone. I got an email today saying it was shipping out. Anyone else thinking of ordering this too?

Awesome! Thanks for the input. Can't wait till they come in so I can check them out
I have the black one and I hate it. I only bought it cause it was the only one available at the time. The soft rubber feeling sucks, Its comes lose when I pull it out of my pocket. I'm using it for now, while I wait for a TPU case to come in the mail. TPU is 100 times better then silicone. This is the case I'm waiting on http://www.ebay.com/itm/26103187214...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_1780wt_1154

The two links I just posted are for tpu cases. My original link was for silicone. I like the silicone one so far. No problems with it slipping off when taking it out of my pocket.
I saw the one in your link but I decided against it because I don't like the fact that the camera button and volume buttons are exposed. I like having them covered by the silicone/tpu.
Update: Got the 2 TPU cases in the mail. I hate them. The fit it way too tight. Its really a struggle just to get them on and off. They also ruined my screen protector because it caught the corner of it while putting the case on.
I will say however that once the case is on it has a very nice feel to it and it adds nearly zero bulk to the phone. Its a very tight fit and all of the buttons work perfectly with no problems. Being that im mainly going to be taking these on and off very frequently its not as convenient as just slipping the silicone case on.
