edit: After purchasing this I would hold out for revision 2 (coming around May 1st) as the first one has a few design flaws. The front camera is blocked and the cut-outs for the buttons are not
large enough so it makes it impossible to actually press them. I'll post back when rev2 arrives.

For 22 bucks I will have to let a few other people try it first. I sunk too much money into trying out cases

The seller on ebay is shipping out orders on March 9- shipping out from TX....
"CASES SHIP March 9, so bid accordingly and do NOT ding me for slow shipping. Thanks." And the case $16 and SH $4= $20-Price is too steep for a cover.
But on his website- he will ship out on March 1st and sells the cover for $17 no charge SH= $17
I will wait when, eventually, someone else starts selling it on ebay for $5....

Way too expensive for a single piece of plastic/rubber.

This guy had a custom mold made and is the exclusive seller, so i don't think you'll see them for $5 ever. I talked to him Thursday and he was expecting them to arrive soon via fedex.

Just picked it up in the mail.
very snug good fit doesn't hinder the kickstand at all. I like how theres a small part that covers the edge of the earpiece.
however the buttons are extremely hard to press with the case. it's sort of a pain to turn on adjust volume etc. i don't really like how the material feels. there isnt a problem with it. but the outside makes the phone feel cheaper overall

I actually LOVE the way the material feels. Unfortunately there were some design flaws this go around that are being fixed. He didn't make the holes large enough for the power button or volume rocker. you can't get your finger in there, although if you have nails you could probably press it. I took an xacto blade to mine to widen the holes. Also, the front camera is covered by the case. To top it off the hole for the charger port is also not designed correctly, some cables will not fit. Its going to be about 3-4 weeks until revision 2 is released. I ordered the lazzo? silicone extended case now as well and will report back how that is.

I did not like the silicone one at all, but I'm not a fan of silicone cases. If you like the material the lazzo is fine. I just find it sticks to everything in sight and fits the phone to loosely. That said I cant recommend the TPU case until the issues with the buttons and camera are resolved, which hopefully will be soon. Apparently the other models he made cases for don't have this problem.

This case is actually very nice. Have a seidio 3500 in my phone. As previously stated,the cutouts need to be widened. However the seller is great. Also got the back door they sell,but it came warped and he sent me another one free of charge. Will post back on how it actually fits.

Case with Kickstand Recommendations?

As someone who used the kickstand on my Evo OG a lot, I must have a case that includes a kickstand. Does anyone have any particular recommendations? I have used Seidio car mounts in the past, and they were very high quality and durable, but a bit on the heavy side (trade-off for durable I guess).
Anyway, I see two cases I'm interested in.

Oh man, I am so used to ordering everything from Amazon (or others) that I didn't even consider going to a store to get a case. I guess I was thinking that since the stores don't have the phones yet, they wouldn't have the accessories. Stupid thought process on my part. I'll have to go to a local store and see if I can find the case-mate.

How is it bulky? Its like 2 inches long and one inch wide. And doesn't add much thickness to the phone at all. When your fingers are in it, you won't worry about dropping it at all. I can easily reach all 4 corners of my screen with this baby. watch Qbkings review of it

I had it on my epic touch for a few weeks (before I quickly got rid of it) and it never felt like it was getting loose. It uses the 3m double sided tape, the same tape on the wall hooks that 3m makes that are rated to hold 5 lbs.
Another thing I like is that it lifts the phone speaker of the surface more so it doesn't dampen the ringer. That is partially annoying cause it doesn't lay flat on a surface if your using your phone laying down, but isn't a huge deal.

If you order the case mate thru the case mate website use the "tough" code for 20% off. I have the case already just waiting on the phone. Case looks sturdy and should be great.

Defender mod w/ Extended Battery

Just in can anyone was wondering... I dremeled out my back cover and defender shell to fit an extended battery and it worked wonderfully. Now the size isn't for the faint of heart but if you want protection plus long battery life this is the way to go. I'll post pics if anyone wants but since I haven't seen anyone else post about it I figured I'd go ahead.

Updated OP sorry bout the size of the pics. Also I know i kind of dorked up the actually cuts but with the rubber part on it you cant even tell. Enjoy =)

Eh...
I have an Otterbox Defender and I heard about the Hyperion 4200+NFC and thought of the same idea but I didn't get the battery yet because I was thinking that the backside silicon would petrude.
If you look carefully at the backside pic after everything is said and done, it bulges about 2mm too much. I'm sure there is a gap now...something that I and most others (I would assume) would want to avoid.
I don't use NFC so maybe a slightly smaller battery, 3500 or so will be the 2mm less that it needs to be for this to be the ideal "hack" job.
(I wonder if the 4000 would work? Does anyone have specs on the thickness for the 4000 and 4200? BTW, a rotary cut tool would be best to cut, for those who are going to try this.)

Do you have any pics of how you made it?

His pics are posted already...
If you are asking me, I didn't do it yet because I had the thought that it would bulge the silicon on the back (as you can see in the pics)...but I'm trying to see if the 4000 is thinner by about 2mm, then it would be good. Hyperion would be the wiser choice as they are the better known brand...those other XYZ companies just make junky batteries IMO.
Anyone on the 4000 and 4200 thickness? (I've asked the only eBay seller that sells both, hopefully get a response soon)

Do you think it would be a bad idea to put electrical tape around the battery and back case to further prevent dust from getting into the electronics? I work in a warehouse and dust partials can sneak through cases.

Yes the bulge and the gap kind of bothered me at first too but I don't work in an environment that has a lot of grit. (As you can see I actually work at a Verizon store). As far as how I made it I just took a dremel but unfortunately didn't have the right tool at the end but I made due. Overall I'm still satisfied with it. The extra bulk really isn't whole lot for me plus I love having the rugged case. This has really made me love an already good phone.

OIC...yeah, the phone is so thin the Defender really isn't all that bulky as one would think. It's really the front bezel (to protect the screen) that kinda makes it look so much thicker. With the Defender, I can only think of a precise hit to the flat of the screen that would damage it...basically the tank of all cases!
Like I said, a couple of MM less and it would be perfect...someone had a double OEM battery hack job, just wished I knew the thickness specs on all these batteries...

I was wondering why it looked like the covers had been attacked by gnawing animals
my question would be, do you actually need to cut the phone back or would it be fine running bareback inside the otterbox?

I was amazed at how the defender is so slim even with all the protection. My wife loves hers and I may switch for the winter from my incipio dual to keep it better insulated from the cold.

Want to do this as I've done it within other phones....just disappointed there is nothing in between stock 2100 battery and the plethora of 4000+ size batteries. Wonder how thick the seidio battery 3500 mah is

The case is pretty much a Kraken case with a battery built into the back. The battery is 2000mah.
With medium usage yesterday it stayed at 100% from 7am to about 1030pm (with using the trident battery along with the Samsung battery)
It is a bulky case..its alittle bigger than a Kraken case, but it feels stronger than a Kraken case. I dropped it afew times and it never split apart like the Kraken did..so they might of fixed this issue.
So ya..figured I'd put this on here since I didn't see anyone else talk about this yet. Atleast when I searched for it I didn't see anything about it.
By the way I got mine on Amazon for $45 with free shipping so you can find it cheaper than the $70 asking price. :good:

Case looks awesome. Looks better than the kraken. I love trident products. If it weren't for purchasing the Samsung 3000mah battery I would totally picked up this case.

Well, I finally got mine and in short I'd say this case is good but not great. I'll start with the Cons First
1. The Rubberized case that comes with it is quite loose fitting so it slips off pretty easy.
2. The case is large for only a 2000mah battery, I feel that they probably could of used a higher cap battery.
3. ***This may only be mine*** The bottom snaps dont stay together all the time which worries me because if they are not snapped properly then the stress of holding the bottom of the case together is on the usb port.
Pros
1, You can use the rubberized case as a stand alone case (although I wouldnt)
2. It comes with a belt clip (again I wont use it, but its nice to have)
3. Comes with screen protection
4. When its all together its fairly rugged
5. It has the ability to select what you charge first when its plugged in (the phone or the case) and when one is charged, it starts charging the other.
6. Price, I found mine for only $45 shipped. Retail is $70 though.
I'll try and post some pictures later.

You're not the only one. My case does the same thing. It's almost as if the rubber inner case is too big for the design on the bottom side of the case. I just sent an e-mail to Trident's Customer Service explaining the issue...I'm hopeful for a reply.

I did the same, lol.

I got mine today after leading a Harlem Shake video at a sales training course. After misreading the instructions, I finally got it working.
It's taking some time to get used to the size, but it's an awesome case. Looking forward to putting it through its paces.

Otterbox Defender + Anker 7200mah

First I want to thank Liptus for daring to do what we all thought about-but didn't have the [email protected] to try. OP below
Otterbox Defender + Worlds largest 7000mah battery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2188013
So I tried the same with the Anker 4400 with great success, and satisfactory results.
Since it hasn't been done yet,
I will do the same with the Anker 7200 and see how it goes.
Fit and finish should be comparable to Liptus OP, except I will be using a razor knife. Here are pre-mod pictures. Will update when finished.

Okay,
So I finished it in about 40 minutes.
It was a bit harder to do then the first time. Mostly because the gaping hole in the middle and the smaller sides. I suspect a fresh mod will only take 20 minutes.
If I've helped you, please hit the thanks button = )
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Fit and Finish......
So it fits nicely and looks roughly the same as the ZL mod. One thing I noticed and like more is not having to cut out a piece of the camera lens shroud. This is due to Anker positioning the battery offset lower.
There is still a small gap at the top near the lens, and the usual adjustments need to be made, ie- stretching the tpu to facilitate proper button use.
Additionally,
If you make the battery hole a smidge larger than actual, you can take out the battery- w/o disassembly of the entire case!
I will be using this 7200 in tandem with my 4400. When one is dead, the other will be juiced and ready on my external charger.
BTW, this 7200 is new and uncharged. I Will be running tests and side by side comparisons with the ZL7000 in my other thread.

Kudos for trying this, the rubber cover is not going to last long though. I've gone through tons of them already on the defender without any mods like this. The rubber eventually starts warping from going in and out of one's pocket.

Thanks Paradox,
My hope is that my using the Otterbox with the belt clip M-F, and switching over to the the Anker TPU for sat-Sun, will give me the solution I am looKing for.

Does the belt clip still work? If you don't mind adding a photo with that would be interesting, i'm assuming it works only if the screen is facing inward. If you give otter box a call they will send you extra rubber housings, I had to hassle them a lot but I managed to get a few extra since the case is known to warp...I wouldn't mention your "case mod" experiment though. I'm going to try out the case that comes with the Anker battery hopefully it is sufficient, I'm going to run without a screen protector as well for the first time since my HTC Tytn II so hopefully the gorilla glass is all it's cracked up to be.

The belt clip does still work, and as you guessed-only face in.
I will submit a picture in the am.
Thanks for the Otterbox info, I'm sure I will need it.
All the best,

I just got mine today! The case that comes with it is really fantastic feels extremely solid, I'm surprised you feel the need for the otterbox still.

I need the belt clip, if this had one-it would easily be my daily driver.

Pics.....
Paradox,
Sorry for the delay, I forgot you asked for pics. The belt clip still works, it is a bit trickier now that the phone is so fat. The bottom groove on the clip pushes against the battery. It still fits, but it needs extra effort to get it clipped in.
Hit the Thanks button if this helps.
