And it works great with the extended battery on! That's how i am using right now
This is very interesting. So you are using a silicone shell over your extended battery and fits perfectly plus you can slide it in your holster with ease just like if you didnt have the extended battery ?
Do you have a picture of the silicone cover that your talking about ?

It is the high gloss silicone cover offered from verizon. I don't have a picture of it but it is on their website. mine fits perfectly fine with my extended battery, i have read on here that some people report the opening where the usb and hdmi port are is a little bent oddly, but it doesn't really affect any part of it.
I am using it in conjunction with the holster part of the verizon shell/holster combination, since the shell part doesnt fit as well with the extended battery.
And yes, it slides in and out of the holster perfectly fine, its smoother sliding than the shell that comes with it, probably because it is silicone versus plastic.
Ill see if i can get some pictures of it later one when I am back home...
Thats good to know because with the shell over the extended battery you have to use 2 hands to slide it in and out of the holster because its so tight. Glad to know this is a solution...
why not just use the original back with the extended battery? thats what i do and its fits in all my cases since there is no change in size

I have the shell holster combo from Verizon and loved until i got the extended battery which was the best investment i made for the X. Now i just need to protect it. Thats why i don't want just the holster. Is there a shell/holster combo designed for the extended battery???
... if the silicone turns out to not fit perfectly for you, try some of the hard covers, you could always test them out in the VZ store before purchasing (they always let me no problems). Just a simple recommendation! I have the clip holster that comes with the platinum case that works with lots of the other cases, but my favorite holster is def the slide one that comes with the combo

Tried out the high gloss silicone case. It fit fine by itself with the extended battery on, but I could not get the phone into the holster with that combo ... waaay too tight, and the silicone did not slide easily against the built-in screen protector inside the holster.
As with the regular case that comes with VZW's case/holster combo, and without the battery cover on, the hg case works fine in the holster ... just a tad tighter than the regular case, but without a struggle to get the phone out.
I decided to keep the hg silicone cover because it does provide a much better seal, and offers more protection from dust to the battery compartment when running without a battery cover.
Until other cases for the Dx running with an extended battery come out, this is the best solution for me using the holster I prefer ... YMMV
Thanks for the post.. Just to be sure what you wrote,
1) You are using the silicone case WITHOUT the extended battery cover
2) And because of what I just said, you can fit your phone in the verizon holster because of this? (with silicone cover on phone).
