Default [Q]Any case that fits with extended battery?

Just wondering if there's any cases that fit this phone when it has an extended battery on.

If not, is ghost-armor coating really worth it? I need to protect the corners of my phone, since I've dropped it once without a case, and the corners are already all scratched.

Default just in case

I've put a extended battery and back on mine using the same silicone case. the 2 piece hard case is modified to work by cutting a square on the back of case to fit over new back. takes a little time with sharp knife but works well. hope this helps.

I just received this silicone case (a steal at $1.56 + less than a dollar shipping) and like it very much.

It does not, however, fit over the extended battery. I haven't tried altering it, but I may buy another for experimentation.

I too am curious which silicone case fits over the extended battery. But for now, I'm enjoying the new, grippy case along with a new, standard-sized Anker 1550 mah battery.

looks good is in the eye of the beholder[sic] ina holster doesnt matter and out of it looks good to me. tried to find a different case for extended batt but none available,so used a knife and satisfied.

Silicone or tpu case without the new back piece works great. Using the battery bare saved me space.

I tried looking for a case myself. Seems like I've tested them all lol. But I have yet to find one that actually fits.

The silicone looks horrendous with it and that's the one I happen to like the most
