Default The Diztronic extended battery TPU Case review.

I thought I would post this up for those that don't want to go the otterbox or the modifying their own routes.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls_o00_s00_i00

So far I have been happy with it. The fit could be a tiny bit better, but overall it's not bad. I first modified a regular TPU case and wasn't real happy with the job I did. So I looked around and it was either this, the VZW one(which I have for my bionic and it sucks), or this. But it was 20 after shipping so I went with the diztronic for 12.90, and I have prime through school. I'll try and post up pics later next week. I'll have to dust off the bionic to do so.


My biggest complaint has to be the fact that they left an opening for the power button instead of just creating a pseudo button like they did with the volume rocker. It also has a real good lip to keep the face up off of the surface of a table, ground, etc. It really does seem to offer decent protection against possible drops and stuff.

Also, no one paid me to do this. I just saw that there didn't seem to be any reviews about the extended battery cases in the accessories forum, so I thought I would add my experience. As I hate being a guinea pig on new products because I hate spending money on something I ultimately end up hating.

The one with the kickstand? I don't dislike it, it just didn't seem to offer that much protection. Lots of open spaces around the top and bottom. That is if we are talking about the same case. I didn't used to care that much about cases till I dropped my first D2 and shattered the face. Then I started caring. Fortunately since then, I haven't had anymore issues.

Anyway, for 13 dollars shipped, I can't complain. Especially given the limited selection out there.
