Case for extended battery

Alright, just finished cutting another one up... Thank god I get a healthy discount at Verizon for everything I get lol.... The fitment of the pieces on my phone with a normal battery cover installed wasn't exactly Otterbox quality, but it was passable. Cutting it apart did really no measurable amount of change to the case whatsoever. Fitment around buttons and ports is still the same, just I have a big 'ol donkey battery hanging out of the back of it.
Hey manufacturers... gonna pick up on doing this? I've already dropped close to $50 bucks on cases I'm just cutting apart... who wants my money for a real case that'll take some abuse and fit right with the 2750mAh battery installed?
Onto the pics...
You'd make good money offering to do this for forums users lol.

Haha, I'd probably get details worked out just in time for Otterbox to release their professional case. That's about how my luck goes.
It's really super easy. All you gotta do is go slow and be careful. The Dremel will do all the work, you just gotta let it show you what it can do.

id buy one of those blue/black ones. I have light leak around the corners of the buttons on the bottom and a case would fix that right up 
This was in an email i got from HTCPedia

P.S. We are working on cases that will fit the extended battery for your HTC Thunderbolt. We should have something stock in about a 1 week.
Thank you,

Finally!!!! Thank you! so here's a dancing banana :icon_ banana:
I hope to GOD that's really gonna happen... I'm tired of getting plastic dust in my eyes cutting the backs off these cases! Please also let them be making several kinds... I don't want just a hard plastic one, nor just a silicone one... I want an Otterbox style 2 piece ruggedized plastic and rubber one.

Extended battery life
I've learned to turn off "Stuff" like 3G when I'm at home and can use my wi-fi. However, I've also been looking into dumping some of those factory installed apps that add additional charges, and that I won't use anyway. I found it somewhere else on this forum, but I don't have the URL directly. It really will help extend battery life.

Thanks for the post. I sent them an email message, and saved their URL for future reference. Hopefully with additional requests, they can hurry along production!
We just got our phones on Thursday, and are learning lots, as we had not upgraded our phones since 2005!!!
There's definitely 3 new "COMING SOON" links on their products page, and they're all cases for the 2750mAh battery!

Oh My!!! @2005. Get ready for an addiction & lotsa fun RDM. :icon_ banana:
My buddy Cakes is making a nice girly theme <rooted>if your interested. She already has a skin out for unrooted as well. Good luck with your case hunt.
Some of these modifications look really good, they almost had me fooled. I will wait until an official case comes out before I decide on an extended battery. Although I have been getting great battery life thus far, two weeks and counting. I am averaging about 18 hours on a charge.
