If you have the stock moto extended batt you should be fine. I dont have it but from what I have read it should be fine... You might, might have to not use the cover...

I decided to finally grab me a defender after work today since my body glove case pretty much just fell to pieces on me. I got it from Verizon store but with the discount my job gives me I only had to pay $35 for it which ain't to shabby.

Only bad part is that when I was waiting for the bus I noticed the box they sold me had been opened or tampered with. So I quickly walked back and the guy swapped it no questions asked which was nice not to have to waste time since my bus was nearing.
On my way back to bus stop I saw the bus coming down the street. So naturally I start running to the bus stop. Well don't ya know my phone decided it was gonna FLY out my pocket in the middle of the street. My heart stopped. I hadn't put my defender on yet. I watched in slow motion as it slammed and bounced on the street sending my body glove case scattering across pavement. To male things worse it had been POURING RAIN all day. I froze as I saw my near mint condition(now naked) x2 sliding SCREEN DOWN on wet pavement toward a healthy puddle. Luckily it stopped just short of the puddle of no return.
I quickly scooped it up and ran to get on the bus. Ahh. Nice. My screen protector I decided was a good investment months ago took the brunt of the damage. There is however now scratches and nicks on the edges and corners of my phone itself. Not so bad considering what could have happened. But nonetheless aggravating that it isn't all nice and smooth now.

I have the now wretched useless body glove case that SHOULD have stayed on to prevent those scratches prepared for execution by burning at the stake with a nice little firework display to seal the deal. Body glove you failed me when I needed you most. Otterbox has come into my life at the best possible time to replace your sorry ass.

Yes this is a TRUE story nothing exaggerated
I just can't believe that happened right after I bought the otterbox. The body glove case was ALWAYS a pain to pull out my pocket and got stuck all the time. Just ironic that this was the only point in which it was able to freely leave my pocket. Its like it knew it was being trashed and wanted to get one last dig in on me. Well now I havebthe last laugh with my left over fourth of july goodies HAHAHAHA(evil laugh)

Wow lol. The only thing I don't like about the otterbox defender case is that it doesn't disburse heat very well. I had mine in this case from day 1, and now that I have a seidio extended battery I cannot use the case. Right below the battery on the X2 gets very hot when using 3G for long periods of time, and I've noticed that I have a very small 'mutation' right there where it has warped upward. Nothing really noticeable unless you are obsessed with the looks of your phone.

That's probably more the radio getting hot. That thing damn near burns me. Which in turn also gets battery very hot and computer sensor reads hot also. Which scared me a few times my cpu sensor was reading around 150. That's a medium steak for gods sake lol. that's fully cooked fish. Lol. That'd freaking HOT!

Hopefully this "soon to arrive" update fixes this or addresses it a bit at least for better efficiency

My phone gets hot when using 3g at my house due to HORRIBLE signal so my radio/phone is fighting hardcore to pull in some type of signal worth using. Im talking signal of-110dbm to about -90 if I am lucky.

Anywhere else it don't get very hot. I've noticed if signal is -85 or better I don't really have heat problems. Just hoping new update comes with a kernel that includes for efficient use of the radio. Im not sure if that's how it works or bot tho lol.

Definitely among other things. Sorry u guys are having those issues. I mainly use wifi at home and anywhere else I go that provides free wifi. But i have never experienced that particular issue.
