8530 Extended Battery - Need Silicone case

**serialportme** · 05-11-2010, 06:20 PM

Any ideas for me. I need a larger battery, and a protective case, preferably silicone. I don't need a holster.

Anything? I have been looking for awhile...

You probably don't need a LARGER battery if your phone is just new. A new battery usually takes about a week or two to condition up. And for a silicone case, look up eBay. I bought mine for 5 bucks and I really love it. I like silicone cases better than hard cases.

I agree with mangcool, but if you must have an extended battery, look at the Seido Extended battery here:

Seidio

Realize that a standard case will no longer fit, you will need to look for one specifically made for the extended battery case.

I have had the phone for a couple of months. I am a heavy user and burn the battery by 12pm daily - so thanks, but I need an extended battery, and yes I have seen and am planning a sedio - I am in specific need for a silicone or small form fitting protective case that works with the extended battery.

You will find that the provider of an extended battery will usually be the only source of a matching case/skin, or accessory. This is due to the fact that there is more than one maker, and their replacement backs are usually of a unique or proprietary design.

I have looked and can't find any. Any specific links or product information?

I've not seen anyone with a skin specifically for an extended battery. Seidio usually has a case or 2 for their design. I'd check their site.
