I have been wanting a extended batter for my dx but wanted a case that fit it right. Well Trident made that happen.
I have already bought this product and it is pretty nice. MY phone is pretty thick now but I actually find it easier to hold. I know a few people have also posted wanting something like this so check it out. Price isn't to bad either if you consider you are getting a good case and an extended battery.
xda won't let me post links yet so you will have to find it yourself. Its on cyclopscase<dot>com
Go to the website above, choose droid x on the left and then sort by highest price and it should be the first one.
t would be nice if they sold it without the battery too

Yeah it sucks when you already have the battery and want to buy the case.
On a good note though. WHen you're just at home for a long period of time, you can charge one battery and take it out and charge the other one. Then when you're out and about all day, bring both batteries with you and switch em out when one dies.
Well, the hard part for me is finding a case that works with larger batteries. Which is why it was a relief to find this, which has a case made just for the extended battery.
Isnt the Trident Electra Better than the cyclops? its 3200mh
*edit* nevermind.. I missread what you were looking at.
Trident is making the best stuff now
They passed otter box up ages ago
I would never buy another otter box product after I wrote them an email and they never had the professionalism to write me back.
They must be all about money and greed.

I would love to find a metal back door!
Heres something cool that i found among an extended battery thread
Trexcell extended battery, said to be excellent for the price, and what do you know they also had the sense to make a a tpu case for it! i was surprised i have never seen a case especially for an extended battery

Wow... I can only imagine what kind of battery life we'd get out of that 3800mah monster. And for only $17 bucks are you freakin' kiddin' me? Great find man, will definitely be grabbing that come pay day.

Sorry about that im trying to be more active in the forums but i just seem to mess up!
Anyone know if this combo will work, or will a standard Nexus case will be too small? Kind of want the extra maH, but also want a nice case.
Anyone with an extended battery and a case for the GSM nexus have any weigh-in?
from the lack of responses, I'll take this as my cue to post pics of the results.
Ordered both and will followup once they arrive.
I'm pretty sure there's pictures in the SGP Hybrid/Capsule topic. Some people said the extended battery stretched the rubber part out and made it sag/loose.

I saw the posts about the capule, but not the Hybrid. I'll do some more searching.
I have the setup you described and there is a bit of sagging but it is very very minor.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Sooooo....I'm apparently either illiterate or just wasn't paying attention. I ordered the sgp ultra hybrid, rather than the Neo hybrid. Nice case, but considering the back plate is a composite and the sides are flexible (opposite of the Neo), this case won't work with the battery. Dolt. Gonna order the right one today.

I'd appreciate pics posted when the case arrives! I'm getting a Galaxy Nexus and will most likely be getting the extended battery as well since I use my phone a lot. That being said, the official cases thread doesn't seem to have any info on GSM+2000mAh battery case compatibility (just w/ Verizon), so it's back to scouring the 'net and these forums.
Considering the Diztronic TPU case since it's cheap, but I have a Neo Hybrid for my GSII right now and I'm pretty happy with it, so I'd love to have the same model for the Nexus. A bit concerned about sagging, though.
Would love to also read a 2/4-week followup to see how the silicone holds (or doesnt).

I'm a total slacker. Sorry!
Update, the Neo Hybrid/2000mah battery combo fits perfectly. Much better than the Ultra Hybrid. Also, its just a nicer case. I will say I do feel a "little" bit of slack between the TPU portion of the case and the back. I wouldn't remotely say it sags, but if you tap it, you feel it move like 0.5mm, and I'm sorry but if that's too much for some people, they're just being too picky. If anything, it feels a little more cushioned from it.
I'd recommend the combo in a heartbeat. My only complaint is that the headphone jack is a little on the small side. I connect to my car's headunit with a pretty nice Monster Cable 3.5mm Mini Jack to RCA. Had to ditch it for a radioshack replacement because the monster cable end was too big.
I'll take a couple pics with my camera later and upload. Sorry for the delay.
Hey there,
does anyone know a good alternative to the horrible original Galaxy Note Flipcover? Mayone one made of real leather?
I really hope there's any good version of this great case type!
Hope for your numerous answers!

I don't know if it's good or not, but I've found something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=UG&feature=related&hl=en-GB&v=LGBDcRWykc0 and this http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/samsung-galaxy-n7000-69177p.html
At least those give a bit of protection to the back of the phone and corners.

Hi,
thanks for your answers!
Yes, these flip covers look good, but the original one has a must have feature for me: It replaces the battery cover so it doesn't make the phone thicker and keeps its great look and feel.
I suppose there's no battery cover replacement flip cover in good quality anywhere out there?

OK, I don't take responsibility for this as I still don't recommend those type of cases (less material, less protection ) but on the picture it looks like what you are looking for. It says it's aluminum so should be better it terms of durability, but I don't know if it won't reduce your signal strength a bit.

It doesn't look like PU leather, more like some kind of carbon/textile. That seems to be awesome!
Now I just have to think about if I take this one or the one suggested in the kick stand thread. Great!
Cheers,
Aryana
P.S.: I don't like big cases like silicone bumpers or bags or something like this. I just trust in my ability to handle my phone without letting it fall to the ground. That worked with other phones for years, so I take the risk.

Yup, the one from Anymode looks really nice. But you will probably have to wait a few days or maybe weeks until it's available outside Korea (or you can try buy it from their website, I don't speak Korean so I can't help you with that). And it won't be cheap as I suppose it won't be less than $50-$60 without shipping.
UPDATE:
Here you go http://www.exportprive.com/en/galax...stand-folio-case-series-crocodile-black-.html
(I don't if the the seller is trustworthy, it's for you to decide)
But this case actually makes the phone a few millimeters thicker, so you should think again what's your priority. High quality looks or phone slimness.
Oh no, that's too expensive for me. Not bad at all, so my decission was easy!
I just ordered the Flipcover that you suggested for 20$. I hope I will receive it in May and give feedback after I got it!

Yes there is. Check out Amazon uk. Samsung have a lizard leather flip case. Much stronger than original flip. I have had it for approaching a month now and no sign of wear. At it is thicker than original, it takes a little bit more pressing down on the back to secure it. But once it is on, it does the job of protection, looks stylish and professional. I have photos of it in the 'post your case' thread if u r interested
Holy moly, in my opinion that "lizard"-style leather is ugly!
Thanks for your answer, everybody who loves this leather style will love this case too! But that's nothing for my sense of style.
If they produced this flipcase with "normal smooth" leather...
Anyways, I'm waiting for my blue flip case from Hongkong which is already on its way to me. Hopefully that's good quality, than it's perfect for me.

Wow, it just arrived. Unbelievable fast, I thought I would be very lucky if I get it next Friday.
My first thoughts are very positive: It fits perfect and feeld high quality.
The Flip gives a good protection, it's very strong. The battery cover is a bit thicker than the original one, so it protects the camera lense but doesn't make the phone bulky.
Two little disadvantages: It smells quite bad, but I believe in a week the stink is gone. And the back is very smooth, even a bit slippery. The plastic texture of the original had more grip, but it the aluminium looks simply great. So that's ok.
I'm very happy with it!

Congrats on your case!
I am not sure if the seller is trust worthy either, but does anyone know if the
Anymode Case Galaxy Note Stand Folio Case Series from ExportPrive would work on the SGH-I717 or is it just for the International Note?
Edit:
Also Found it on Amzon for $85
Edit 2:
Ater some google-fu on the case and exportprive, I went ahead and ordered it. Apparently the case is made for the Japanese model of the Galaxy Note, so it does have the NFC antenna on the battery cover of the case (I have the SGH-i717) . The only foreseeable downfall I see is that it doesn't snap on properly, that would hurt. But for $63 including shipping, I say it is worth the risk considering I fell in love with the anymode case at&t sells, but thought it was to pricey for a brick&motor store to sell. Now I will get a kick stand plus earpiece cut out! Will update when I receive it.
"Genuine" Samsung flip cover
Hello Friends.
I intend on purchasing a genuine Samsung flip cover (white) for my Galaxy Note (ceramic white).
I had a look on Amazon UK and for illustrative purpose I have posted the link below.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Fli...D4TM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338410191&sr=8-1
The product is Samsung Flip Cover for Galaxy Note - Blue by Samsung. Considering it has by Samsung displayed on the link, is it safe to presume it is a genuine Samsung product?
I ask the above because the Samsung UK website does not have any cases/covers listed under the Accessories category.
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/mobile-phones/accessories
@Aryana90 do you mind posting some pics of the cover on your phone? Is it a replacement back cover, like the "genuine" cover?
The genuine cover (in YLNdroid's post) is a lovely fit, but probably isn't great for long term use, a lot of people complain that it wears out quickly. But it only adds about 1.5mm to the phone, so that's very attractive.
V
Yes, it is a replacement back cover. I think it adds not more to the phone than the original cover, but seems to be better quality. And looks amazing in blue!
I try to make some pictures this evening and will post it here.

Aryana90, is the said cover you purchased as good as the "genuine" one? Does it have Galaxy Note inscribed on the front and Samsung inscribed on the rear?
If so, where can I get one in white colour? I have a ceramic white Galaxy Note.
I apologise for sounding a bit too paranoid perhaps! With all due respect, I do not want a sub-standard case/cover for my Galaxy Note.
im thinking about buying the seidio battery door with the draco flare red bumper
i read that they compatible with each other but i want to be absolutely sure that they actually are since the bumper isnt that cheap..
so it would be nice if some1 can confirm this for me also a pictures are always welcome!!

That picture conveniently crops out the two corners where the bumper comes together so I would be careful using that photo as evidence of a good fit.
On a side note, I'm using the Draco with Samsung genuine extended and I'm very happy with the fit and how it looks. I posted photos in the thread for that battery.

any white covers available for draco?
Thank you for this thread! Been upgrading my s3. I like my tech to look good the way people like good looking cars. So I also decided to go with the draco. Overkill but no other cases looked as good.*happy to see how handsome your draco-seidio rig looks.
Wondering if anyone knows of a white extended battery back to fit with the Draco? The seidio extended cover doesn't seem to come in white or other colors (waiting on an email from them to verify).*
The one thing my kick ass Draco look needs (after finding a white back) is a kick stand. Does anyone know if the white mugen kickstand cover work with Draco? I suspect it does not - the Seidio has what looks like a step down near the outer edges which is close to "stock" thickness. The mugen is thick all the way to the edge. File it down maybe? I'm lazy. .prefer no modding.
Any advice appreciated.* White extended battery covers thin enough for draco with a kickstand* dont seem to exist. .. done lots of searching!* I would settle for no kickstand i suppose.* but really want white (preferably with larger battery than the Samsung brand extended battery cover which does look good so I may have to settle for that )

Seidio does have a white battery cover, i did purchase it a few months ago i will look for the link when im home because you wont find it directly on their website. I dont know any battery cover with kickstand which is compatible with draco bumper
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
greetings! Thanks for the response! I love xda.
So after some back and forth with seidio they claim the extended door is available in colors even though amazon and their own site don't show colors. They say i have to voice call to special order the white or other color door. So this is great news.
Before I order i need to confirm some things if you would be so kind. Firstly, in other xda posts this battery door is the one listed as draco compatible:
BVY35SSGS3
However seidio's site doesn't return a match on this part number when you do an internal site search, though if you search via google you get a link to a forgotten page on their website with no image... interesting. This item is about 15$.
Now I also see this door on seidio's site:
Product Code: CSR5SSGS3-BK
Which is called the "surface" . is this comparable to the one listed above? it's double the price.
their site also has a kickstand model which I am hoping will work. I know you don't know for sure but looking at the screenshots they provide what is your best judgement? Do you think it would fit? It has the step down design near the edges but still looks a little thicker. Maybe I could still squeeze the draco around it??
DILEX™ Extended with Metal Kickstand for use with Seidio Innocell® 3500mAh Super Extended Life Batteries - Black
MSRP: US$34.95
Product Code: CSK3SSGS3XK-BK
Finally, should I just go with the innocell 3500mah battery they sell or do you recommend another battery brand to fit this door? I'm ok with not having a zerolemon 7000 battery.
I appreciate anyone's help
