Modding the OB Commuter Case for Ext. Bat?

---

Has anybody tried modding the OB Commuter case to fit the extended OEM battery? I wonder if its really possible.

Gonna say no it's not unless you could cut out a square for the battery in the stock door and the case parts, you'd still need some way to protect the battery and keep it in.

I've wanted to attempt this, cut a hole in the back of the stock battery cover and rubber sleeve of the otterbox, then hope theres enough room for the hard cover of the commuter to seal and hold the battery in. I don't have an extended battery yet though so i'm not sure how much room is needed.

Are you gonna try doing it once you get the xtended battery?

I think you might have to cut the otterbox hard plastic too. Maybe not, but I think it would be a very tight fit. I would definitely pick up an extended battery if it can be done without though.

I remember seeing that someone did it. I will try and find the post.

I'm talking about the Commuter case, not the defender case which is bulkier already.

Yeah, it definitely won't fit without modification to the plastic, which would defeat the purpose. Even without the rubber shell and no battery door, the plastic still doesn't really fit over the extended battery.

Yeah I think you'd only be able to use the rubber part like the mod linked above, the plastic part clips on pretty tight.

lol oh sorry. I'm sure it could be modified. But because its not very bulky you would end up with an exposed battery. The extended battery extendeds quite a bit out of the standard battery door. Doont have a ruler on me now but I would say its at least or more than 1/8" extended out. If the case doesn't add more than that, it will be exposed.
