I have a question about the hyperion case for its extended battery. I know that with some work you can get it to work with the mugen 5400 battery and door cover. My biggest issue with it is pressing the power button and the volume buttons. I was wondering if anybody had take an exacto knife and cut out those points on the case. If so, how did it work.
Yes, I did that. It's easier to press afterward, but it's still easier to just use the proximity screen off app to turn the phone on & off with this case on.
I cut mine out too.. even the volume rocker.. I got it a little choppy, but I perfer it this way rather than covered as before.
good luck.

I bought an extended battery from the AccessorySwamp.com and recently the case has started breaking. it first started to break around the On/Off button and then it broke on either side of the phone just above the volume button.
I have read somewhere else in these forums of their cases breaking.
I have to say though they are very fast at contacting you in Email, I had a reply less the 5 minutes.
But, now the problem is that they are sold out of the back covers and they cant ship me a new one.
So, just be carefull if you buy a battery from them, Although I like the battery and its cheap. The back covers are really really cheap.
A cheap solution would be too check out eBay for another cheap extended back, just a thought

Same problem here. Now the power button doesn't reliably work. Uncool.

I just bought one of these so thanks for the heads up.
Well, it looks like they got some back covers in and they have changed them for the better. They are now flat looking like the stock EVO, without the red pinstip and the HTC, instead of having a bump where the batter was at. The only thing I wish they had was the same textured plastic they had on the old style back cover, the new one has the velvet texture that make it slippery.
I really like it though, much better then the one that came with the battery.
Does anybody have this case?

What are the volume and power buttons like? Are they just cut outs or do they have their own buttons to make pushing easier?
it's saying "page not available" when i click the link, so...
if it's that shell/holster combo for $29, that thing is crap. it's a pain in the ass to get it in & out of the holster + it makes the speaker sound terrible. on top of that, there's a kick stand but good luck pulling out the stand... i had to use a knife. returned that crap the next day after sleeping on it.
the only other option at the time was this high gloss silicone case. it is ok... no problem with the volume buttons although, unless you have decent finger nails(or small fingers) it can be a bit of a pain pressing the power button. still, i would much rather have this then deal with the one above.
Not sure who has this problem, but my phone tended to "creak" when pressed at certain points. I decided to figure out why this was happening. Turns out the battery itself has a little more motion than ideal and the phone was making the creak noise with the back cover off when i pushed on the battery.
My simple fix was to cut out a few pieces of paper the size of the battery and put them between the back cover and the battery.
This makes the phone feel much more solid. I'm sure tape would do the same thing. The trick is to find the right thickness between stopping the noise and still allowing the cover to fit on tightly.

I haven't had the same issue, but on my first Dinc 4G, the back case immediately next to the volume rocker was slightly loose, and I could press on it and feel a similar creak to what you're talking about. I traded it in after a week because of a few other issues, and this new one doesn't have that same problem. I didn't do anything to try to remedy it, so I don't know the best solution.
theres now 4 inc4g ltes within my family lol.
the creek is only noticeable on two of them.
My solution to the creaky problem was to take the cover off and cover the little dimple thingies with electrical tape.
Works like a champ.

I take a more simplistic approach for all the phones i purchase and issue here at work. Peel off 3 of the small postit notes, stick it on the battery, no creaks, groans or otherwise irritating sounds.
I have the Sedio 4,000 mAh battery for my Evo 3D. The problem I have with it is that it doesn't snap onto my phone properly, especially along the bottom. It doesn't fall off or anything, it's just cosmetically annoying, especially for someone with obsessive tendencies. Further, the power button is difficult to press.
I've read other reviews of this product and I've seen others have similar issues as mine. Is it worth trying to get another cover from Sedio in hopes it'll fix it, or am I just better trying for a better product?
I know with the power button I had to trim the inside of it a little bit.
Contact @seidioseidio on Twitter. They are very helpful and respond surprisingly fast. I've replace two with this same issue.

I know, right...the bottom almost fits, but not quite. Inside the cover where the battery goes is a
Foam piece glued inside...I suppose they expect the battery to get hot. Just scrape it off and the
Cover will fit Perfect
I did just that. Scraped the foam out so the cover fits then scraped around the power button and now it works great.
Basically, my back cover is fine, but the case power button too much sag in it now and is constantly pressing the actual button down, if I have to I will buy the complete housing from Deal Extreme to get that little part but that seems a bit excessive.
It's that tiny silver case button. Is there anywhere it can be bought seperately or replaced, or repaired?
the button is built into the back cover so you're gonna have to buy the backcover
yeah, the power buttons are known to be rubbish on blades.
