Default dx2 case

Is there a droid x2 case that works with an extended battery?

There is a rubbery one that you can buy at Verizon for $15 or so. It is my understanding that the extended battery door barely extends it. It would fit in this case easily...

The Droid X2 extended battery does not extend the back but maybe a half an inch if that.. Pretty much all cases I have ran across still fit perfectly.

Since the atrix/droid x use the same kind of batteries, I bought this 2200mah atrix slim extended battery. http://cgi.ebay.com/2200mAh-Battery-...95856272774290

Should be interesting, Andida is a decent brand (i used there batteries before in the sgs).

I'd love to know how this works. Anyone else already have this battery?

I would not do this. The Droid X2 and Droid X require certain types of batteries and covers to work properly.

Somehow Motorola made it so the BH5X and BH6X (Extended Battery) are the only ones that seem to properly register with battery metering. Look at the Droid X forums and you'll find tons of people that are having problems with extended batteries that aren't the BH5X and BH6X.

Also the BH6X extended battery comes with a new cover that raises the backing plate up just a little bit. If you use the one that comes with the phone it will push the battery against the back of the screen and create a ghosting effect when you touch the screen. You will also notice that the battery cover that comes with the phone says only to use with the BH5X battery.

The backing plate however only raises the back about 1.5mm which does no effect the phones use in docks and most cases (including hard cases).

The back door for the bh6x batteries can be bought on Amazon for around $10.
