I have the following extended battery, and was wondering if there were any good cradles that would fit it. I have found a few, but not sure if they will work with my thicker G1.

i've bin hunting for a case for a min since i got the extended battery!!
I got my extended battery and case from eBay, and like you, have been searching for a dock for it. I have tried every place I can think of (online, and physical stores)...no luck yet.
If you are handy you could try something like this. Metal Back It works great in my SUV, either landscape or portrate. I have a big neo magnet glued to my dash.
Then build this Lexan Desk Stand
That is probably not what you are looking for.
I'm also looking for one (had one for my kaiser)
I found a solution: buy another battery back case that fits the original docks.
I found them on ebay

What do you think? It's not a beauty I know.

But this is a black one, can't find them in white color
I just made a new hole (and put something under it) in my kaiser cradle, works perfect now.

Has anyone tried this one
http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=6103
looks lke the new back door they provide is no where near as bluging as the 3200mAh version doing the rounds ..... but the picture may be deceptive !!
Anyone got one or used one
I have a 2800mah one I bought from igonemobile.com (via eBay).. the one that is bigger than normal and requires the special case that comes with it. I actually like it since it lifts the speaker up. With the original battery, if the phone is flat, the speaker is blocked. This 2800 works pretty good. Seems to like playing mp3's, wi-fi, and T-mobile internet usage so far. I have not charged it since Friday (Monday now) and it has like 50% power left.
I bought one in ebay (from China). 7€ + 4€ postal cost. It works nice ¡¡

Whats case do you use?
Hey guys,
you use the bigger Battery.
Which case do you use, no case?
I find no case for the bigger batteries...
Thanks!
Oliver
Yes I was wondering the same thing but I don't know if it would fit into my i.trek charger so it could be a moot point for me.
I guess maybe I just need a good "eyeglass style" case for my device.
A case for a bigger battery
Hey,
do you have tips which case I can use if I want a Battery with 2400 or 3200mAH
Thanks!
Oliver
Go to fortte dot com they make great cases and now have one that fits both extended and regular.
d
so do you guys reccommend getting 2 regular size batteries or an extended. the picture for the 3200mAH extended makes it look crazy big. i like keeping it in my pocket. What do you prefer? Also, what is the longest lasting batterry that can fit in the phone without a different back? Thanks guys. Just got my phone yesterday. Loving it. Trying to get all the things i need.
Good tip, more tips?
Thanks dwella,
good site you recommended. Yes, there a cases for bigger batteries.
But I love cases I can use my TYTN in the case, no need to pull it out.
Normaly I worked with Brando Alu Cases ore PDAIR Leather Cases with open front.
Has anyone a tip for cases with these specifications (No nee to pull out)
Thanks
Oliver
Help, is there no case for a bigger battery?
Hey,
I searched all the forums and interet pages. Is it possible that ther ist noch case for sale for a bigger battery (mugen 3200 mAH)
I can't believe this, no one has an idea?
Thanks!
Oliver
Hello,
since today i have for my TYTN the Seidio 3200mAH Battery in use.
But, its a brick (but I love it) and I need a case for it
Do you have tips for an leather case (pouch oder others) you fits the brick.
I tested the Seido Leather Case, hard way to take the phone out of the the case....
Thanks!!!
Oliver
Friend, you are in the situation i didn't want to be in. I was going to buy one of those battery types. Best advice is to go for a silicon one piece case from ebay. read my review. And put your other default battery back in the phone. Just use the bigger battery in emergencies.
I have yet to find a decent case that would fit the Hermes when its got the backpack on it like the one you are using. I spent weeks searching online for various cases too. You may get lucky. It may pay you to email someone like MK on ebay who make their own cases I think. I can't see it costing a great deal for them to put a case together that would fit your phone. They may tell you to wait until they get enough people wanting a larger form fit but its worth a try.
there could be a solution a DYI solution that is... and that would req to get a case to start with that is not for the hermes... BUT is the same exact width and height the depth to be the right side of battery...
now you would have to come up with some foam type or other material that you cut out exactly the shape to fit the extended battery case... and then cover it with some fabric and there you go... custom fit case for the extended battery
hey you could even find a material that is very light weight and would match without having to have a fabric material over and simply glue it on heh
This is the stuff I have bought for my G1.
I will post pics, to try and help anyone trying to make a decision on what to buy.
(alot of credit goes to ITSMEMORPHIUOS on youtube, He reviews iphone stuff. and through his reviews I got the confidence to buy half this stuff)
1) MOSHI case (ipouch=for iphone)= fits G1 perfect: excellent "everyday" case. Has special cloth sewn on inside that really cleans your G1. www.moshimonde.com (f**K IPHONE, had to get that out of my system). Washable, extra pocket for headphones. comes with really nice lanyard (to whip your kids with). SEVERAL LAYERS OF VERY THIN FABRIC NOT BULKY AT ALL.
2) niteize s-biner, size #1= to hang on moshi case
http://www.niteize.com/productdetail.php?category_id=29&product_id=152
3) SENA case= ULTRA slim case=, executive case REMOVED!!! NO NEED FOR COMMENTS LIKE THAT/THIS!!!!. www.senacases.com
4) SEIDIO retractable USB cable= it's ok, kind of short only 2'. really handy to carry though.
5) Cellet retractable wall charger.= travel charger, (*NOT TO SURE ABOUT THIS ONE, ONLY 500mA). BUT the car charger looks like a excellent product (but at the same time looks like a d*ck and balls????). (wish I had a car)
6) ZAGG invisible shield. OK ready, great protection, very UGLY look. DO NOT USE THE SCREEN PIECE.
---USE www.powersupportusa.com CRYSTAL FILM instead, can't even tell something is on the screen.
WHY: the Zagg gives orange peel affect (distorts image), Also you can see adhesive acts like little prisms and distorts image.
---Also I covered my wife's phone with Zagg completely and it totally takes away from the phone (women!!!).
--------SO on my phone I just used two small stripps on where the phone makes contact with a surface. much better look.
TIP: buy 70% isopropyl Rubbing alcohol from local pharmacy( will cost $1-$2 for huge bottle), same stuff that is in expensive computer screen wipes. But find good lint free cloth.
spray phone:
1) to clean
2) can apply crystal film when wet with alcohol
This is not a purchase but a great tip:
7) Piece of leather cut 4" x 6" ( and old leather jacket will do) great place to rest your phone while charging.
8) Turbo Charger= on the go, emergeny charger(uses AA)
9) AMZER 82000= cradle. ( got extra battery from t-mobile for free) still waiting for it to arrive in mail.
http://www.amzer.com/accessories-de...el=T-Mobile G1&mcid=1&category=&make=T-Mobile
10) sandisk 16 GB microsdhc = must have= works.
If you have any questions about these items, let me know, hopefully it will help you make your decision.
Oh and this is my first post with pics sorry if i F it up.
PICS are here

the pics were to big. see enlarged pic for details and don't forget to click on second page.
more pics, more pics, more pics

A bit G1 obsessive if you ask me, but I can see y, I love my phone too. But I dont think all the cases/pouches r necessary.
I didnt like the bulk of the pouch it came with. so I got the sena case, but
the sena case is very slim line and doesn't cover the phone 100% and you have to break it in to use it.
So then I ended up with the moshi pouch (black pouch), which is good to just throw around, phone slides in and out of it with ease. (the gay pink or peptol bismol one is my wife's).
I'm getting the same cradle. Do you know if the phone fits in it without removing the USb cover?
you don't have to take off the little cover there is little space for the little cover to sit within
Great, thats what I was worried about.
For the cradle can you charge the G1 and the spare battery at the same time? I was just wondering because I bought a crappy dock a while back and I could only charge the battery with the dock and had to connect a usb cable to charge the phone. Also is it hard to put the G1 in the dock or is it pretty easy. Thanks for the info man
AMZER 82000= cradle

I got mine off of ebay, from Hong Kong, so I did not have the pleasure of unboxing ( came in Manila Envelope). But saved a couple of bucks.
NO IT IS NOT EASY TO PUT PHONE IN AND OUT. if you plan on using phone alot it is not easy. but if phone just sits in one place and you have bluetooth headset then it's OK. There is nothing wrong with cradle, The problem comes in with the little door has to be opened, then lowering the phone onto little usb connector. It's great for people who have there own desk at the office.
Comes with:
1) cadle: nice build quality (for made in china cradle),has charger port, usb port and 3.5mm stereo out. fingerprint and dust magnet. but I'm happy with product.
Blue and red led indicator on front of cradle, very bright. Might have to cover at night.
BLUE: glows when charger is plugged in. even if there is no phone or battery in charger.
RED: glows when battery is charging.
2) wall charger: 1.5 AMPS, nice can charge battery and phone at same time.
3) usb cable.
more pics of cradle.............
Where did you get that cradle?? OMG, I was just tell ing my friend I needed a cradle that had a charge port AND an audio out port. That's so freaky.
Doesn't look nearly as nice as yours, but all I really want is to be able to put in in the cradle on my dresser and plug my speakers into it. WOuld this work?

got cradle off of ebay. came from hong kong.
omg, love the cradle! I wish we had bluetooth stereo headphones capabiliy (A2D2). this would be perfect for that. I could just use it to charge my spare battery while streaming music or just get the giant 2400 mAh battery. What do you guys think?
How well does the Crystal Film screen shield fit on the g1, since it's made for the iPhone? My stock screen is getting really scratched up and I desperately need a new one, and you seem to have done your research
Also, I have been thinking about buying the cradle as well, and I have an extended battery that I use as my backup, and since the g1 won't fit on the charger with the extended battery on, I'd like to be able to place it on the extra charger, I just wanted to make sure it'd fit
I too am loving my cradle. Also wishing for Bluetooth Stereo. We'll see what this month brings I guess.
CRYSTAL FILM: was from powersupportusa.com But I don't see it on their website anymore.
It has an exact fit and is very smooth, people can't even tell i have a film on.
CRADLE: yes the extended battery fits in the back part of the cradle. the only thing is you cant close the back cover of the cradle.
You can put the phone and the extended battery (in the back part of the cradle with the cover door open) in at the same time.
Thats one spoiled-lucky G1 hahaha.
can someone post a working link to one of those cradles for me.. thanx a lot
Hi,
Does anyone have a battery cover for the MDA Compact V that they don't need, or are willing to sell?
Dropped my phone and took a chunk out of the battery cover, lets in a lot of dust now.
Can't find the battery cover for sale online anywhere, only full body kits.
Thanks,
FrankyG
A little search on ebay ...
http://shop.ebay.de/i.html?rt=nc&LH...pt=Handy_Zubehör&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m283
anyone got that (custom..) back-cover with "rubber coating" ?
is that any good?
looks interessting.. as the standard backcovers for htc/o2 xda are just plain
plastic ..
love to have a backcover which is not that slippery/shiny .. also i love to use my phone lying on the table without the need to hold it withe the other hand ..
i owned a sony-erricson p1i before.. THAT was a perfect rubber-backcover.
tx
i bought a rubber battery cover two months ago. take a look on this post where i've put three pics of it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7932389&postcount=268
yes.. it looks great and exactly fitting ..
guess i take a try on those.. better than wrapping some ruber-glove the handy ..
gsm4world still sells them atm
search for ebay-item 130438357456
I was searching for a metal one, found not really sth interesting ... smb has a tip?
this wont do .. i think because of the anntenna major parts of the backcover must be of plastic ..
maybe magnesium would do the trick (the stuff my old HP HX4700 is made of)
have not received my new backcover yet (the rubber one) ..
I can't find which case I should buy for my phone when using the wireless charging back cover. Does anyone have any good recommendations?
I thought I would go ahead and answer my own question. For those who are interested in having some kind of case with the Galaxy Alpha and who also want the wireless charging backplate, I am here to confirm that the Spigen Neo Hybrid case for the Galaxy Alpha does fit with the official Samsung backplace and it does charge. The fit is snug however, the lip does cover it as if there was no extra thickness. I have three other covers from Korea and they all aren't able to cover the phone with the wireless charging backplate. I am glad that it works.
For those who never used this brand of cases, make sure to leave on the plastic ring part and don't try to do it in two stages. I thought I had to put the rubber part on and then the ring, however, if you do that, you will most likely break the ring. Instead, just put the phone in the case all at once.
will the official extended battery work with this ?
No, I don't think so. The extended battery requires a special modified case because the battery is too fat and the official charger plate requires the regular battery, as there is no room for a bigger battery. However, in this case, I would recommend getting one of those internal pieces that you can put between the battery and the cover and attach it to the right spot, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Alpha-SlimPWRcard-Receiver-Samsung-integrated/dp/B00QMIM6EM
I have never used it, but I assume it would work. The only reason why it might not is if it isn't long enough to go over the bigger battery, but I'd say it is worth a try. Qi wireless charging is fantastic! I am going to build one into a desk I bought at the thrift store.
