Sorry, I changed my original post after playing with it more.. I can tell no difference between the plastic kickstand being on or off.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] joker713:
to the few of you that have it, does it seem that it would be possible to remove the added kickstand and the piece that blocks the phone kickstand and still be able to maintain the integrity of the case?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] SteveDusa:
Here are the close up photos of the case: https://picasaweb.google.com/106576...authkey=Gv1sRgCKbCl4SkuOuNiQE&feat=directlink

Honestly compare to the cases for Evo, the quality has gone down.

As for the kick stand... I suggest you don't use it. You will need a little force to overcome the latch/snap and it feels so clumsy that eventually it's going to break in half.

I don't feel it's worth the money anymore, the quality has gone down to the same par as some ebay cases. Maybe it's the kick stand that did it but, for a case that will protect extended battery config? It'll do.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] biswasd:
"crazy guy" here.....I was trying to advise everyone not to buy these cases earlier. sorry if I offended anyone, but seidio quality has gone down month after month.

the early days of seidio quality from the htc tilt days are no more.

so far the $16.99 case from letstalk.com for the extended battery is the best bang for the buck....too bad it doesn't have a holster.

take care.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Cubs2008:
I can't wait for the case to show up (will be here in two days.) I have the $16 case for the extende battery and that thing pinches my power button to the point where I can't press it (and it randomly presses on its own.) I LOVE the Seidio Active X case for the stock battery so I can't wait to see this one.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Ji001:
kickstand (I have the active extended) doesn't block much sound at all since there is a hole that allows sound to escape. keep in mind the speaker isn't the whole "bar" under the original kickstand, it's just a tiny hole at the end of the grille.

I was disappointed when someone pointed out that you can't stand the phone vertically with it's plastic kickstand. well that isn't true. while the stand is flimsy, it keeps the phone at any position you like. usb side up horizontally will do as well but it's a bit weak.

phone feels much more sturdy and has good weight. buttons stick out nicely and can be pressed with ease.

btw. if you're thinking about cutting the case, I doubt it would work. even if you're able to cut it clean, the hole it leaves may be too small for the metal kickstand to work properly imo.

edit: (Pics of Active Extended in my profile)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] n0thing2bdone:
any pics of it in profile?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Ji001:
didn't know if you meant profile as in my online profile or the phone's profile shots. anyways i took pics of it and put it in my profile. check it out if you're interested.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Ovrclck:
I went ahead and ordered the Active as well. Can't wait!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Cubs2008:
Got my Active Extended today...love it! Just like my stock Active X. The kickstand is flimsy (and sounds like it's going to break off every time I open/close it) but it does not hinder audio in any way for me. I do have a power button issue with this case as well from time to time but if I press towards the back of the button it works fine.

Good job Seidio.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gohamstergo:
says you removed your video

and looking forward to some pics of the active extended.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] tbtaf:
I got my convert case today, it is large, but I have very large hands and love the way it feels.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] :
I have the Active Extended and the case is not that bad. I was disappointed when I first got it because the kickstand felt really flimsy and cheap, but after using it for awhile I'm rather satisfied.

I like ability to charge my phone and have it in the kickstand position.

YMMV, though.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Cubs2008:
I ordered the dock that says we can charge it in the active extended case so I'll definitely take some snaps of that setup when I get it. I like being able to charge it with the kickstand as well but I really like the dock idea.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Ji001:
Thanks for linking my album. I didn't have enough posts to directly post pictures and links.

Anyways after one day I gotta say this phone is now real bulky and heavy. Mostly heavy because of the battery, not the case. Active extended is also more slippery than I thought.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gohamstergo:
slippery? all the rubber on the sides doesnt help with grip?

added ji001's photos and ddgarcia05's video to OP
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Ji001:
I think I got used to the gel case I had on my phone prior to the active. So yes its plenty of grip. I guess I have dry skin. Lol most people would think it grips fine imo
[Thunderbolt Accessories] robitj11:
I ordered the full convert extended. Really excited to see how it works. ddgarcia05, your video sold me. Seidio should give you commission!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ddgarcia05:
Did you buy the holster also?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] freshass:
i hvae the surface case for the regular battery and holster. will the active extended fit the holster as well.. dont want to pay 20 dollars for a holster!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] chrisjm00:
So what does everyone who has the active extended think? I just ordered mine and it should be here Wednesday or so.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gohamstergo:
aside from the video review in the OP, it seems like people like it pretty well. doesnt affect sound volume and doesnt add too much extra bulk
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Ji001:
I love it. I was watching seidio's page like a hawk for awhile so I am very glad to see it finally out. not at all disappointed.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Ji001:
ok got my 8 posts so hopefully i can include pics in my post.

here's the active extended tb taking a few pics of itself in the mirror that needs cleaning.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] freshass:
it actually looks pretty good
[Thunderbolt Accessories] freshass:
do you have another seido case with a holster?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] pmdied:
Looks great. Worth the money? I work in an industry where I'm pretty tough on hardware; how well does it protect the precious?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Ji001:
Yes it is great. Looks to be almost the same as otterbox defender. I had those for my previous phones that were almost the same size (atrix and inspire).

To Fresh: if you were asking me, no this is my only case
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Ovrclck:
I just got my active today. I really love the smooth feel. The case makes the phone look even sexier :D
[Thunderbolt Accessories] jakaro:
Was really worried about this case but you guys all seem to like it, i think ive made up my mind.

How is ordering from Seidioonline.com? or is it just easier with amazon.com?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Ovrclck:
Order it direct as Amazon isn't carrying the extended cases just yet.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gohamstergo:
they are ;)

Surface

Active

Convert

and with free shipping, it's cheaper than direct.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Ovrclck:
oh nice! :)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] boythatkills:
Yep, just ordered my Active last night.

Edit: It just got here.. gotta say.. love it!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] chrisjm00:
Has anyone ordered the surface case? I thought it was the active case I ordered but it wasn't.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] robitj11:
I have ordered mine! How long did yours take to ship? Very excited to see the case!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] chrisjm00:
The surface case is nice, doesn't add a lot of bulk. It took 4 days to get here. I'm in Baltimore. I ordered mine from Amazon though. I like the case but it doesn't feel like it has a lot of grip to it. It's too smooth almost.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] pmdied:
Mine's on its way tomorrow. HELOOOOO extended battery!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] datroidrager:
so i ordered mine last night and chose to have it shipped by tomorrow morning at 1030, is there anything i should do once i get the battery? do i need to fully charge it first or run it down first. i've purchase replacement batteries before(for my droid x, which i saw no difference in battery life btw) and just popped it in and took off
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ddgarcia05:
I recommend just using it until it's dead or about to die and then recharging it completely.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] vzaveri:
does the active case include a holster?

what is the best case if you need a holster for the extended battery?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] jakaro:
Does if you buy the combo kit.

I just got mine on Amazon.com for $23, then $5 for shipping, so not bad. this one doesnt have the holster though.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] thehotboy:
just ordered the 3200mah super extended, the steinheil (ultra crystal) screen protector, the active case with holster and the new seidio dock from amazon .. a couple of items won't be shipping for 2 weeks though :( but i'll take pics and let you guys know my opinion once it gets here
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gohamstergo:
im happy to announce that amazon and an increasing number of 3rd party sellers are already duking it out for lowest price. the Convert Extended has already dropped about $6 more than what amazon started it at :D im sure the other models are dropping similarly.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] jakaro:
yeah, i got mine on amazon.com for $23, for the active!

Edit: Just got it in the mail, so far this thing is pretty sweet! it feels good in your hand, and the pictures don't do it justice, not nearly as bulky as it looks.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gohamstergo:
good to know. probably be ordering mine soon as well.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Old MuckenMire:
Are any of you guys actually pocketing this thing? My order just shipped and I forgot to order the damn holster.:mad:
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Nefariouss:
I pocket mine. No problems. I don't use a holster at all.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Old MuckenMire:
Okay thanks. I hate holsters myself...they're just a step away from pocket protectors, imo. From the pics it looked like I might need one but as long as it's pocket-able that's the way I'd prefer to go.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] jakaro:
just an FYI , i have the Arkon dash mount for my car, and my phone still fits in it with the extended case, but barely!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Rngrrymd:
I have the Seidio Active case for original phone, LOVE it. Will have to get this extended soon....

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Undead46:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Undead46:

Not like I actually use it, but it's fun to play with.. LoL

EDIT: Just realized it does have a separate kick-stand, awesome! :)

Hey guys. Since i purchased my nexus one used I was able to get a free upgrade from t-mobile after less than a year. The phone was the Vibrant I loved the super amoled screen and the phone in general. But after months of trying to install half assed :D roms on it, I got fed up.Im back on my nexus one I have it working 100% and dont have to deal with missing features and drivers, every current rom for the Vibrant is missing GPS. This is just a tip for anyone considering a non-google branded phone.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dynamic3:
Is there an updated resource thread for returning the phone entirely to stock? I'm running Skyraider 3.5, incredikernel 2.6.32.27, 2.15.00.11.19 radio, and an updated HBOOT with CWM; all on a launch Inc; and would like to return to complete stock with the most recent updates.

Also, what does a "clean ESN" mean?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as search hasn't yielded anything recent. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehosteda:
I can answer this part of your question.

The ESN is the Electronic Serial Number that is tied to your phone. If one has a "bad" ESN, that means Verizon has flagged that phone as either stolen, or delinquent with billing or some other circumstance. Therefore, if someone was to buy it, Verizon would refuse to activate it. However, it is possible another carrier would activate it, if it were able to be flashed over.

A "clean" ESN means all is well, and that it is all gravy to be activated on the Verizon network.

Hope that helps. :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
You can go back to stock, just requires flashing the RUU file you can find at www.dougpiston.com

Clean ESN means that the phone can be re-activated on another account. As far as I know, your phones ESN should be fine unless its been reported stolen or your account isn't current. Should be able to Google ESN for more info.

I remember seen a thread about this where they had all the instruction on how to do it.. what version of incredible you have..

SLCD Or AMOLED?

if you just wanna lose root download the Skyraider athena 1.2 from rom manager and it will download the November ota.. that work for me before... now S-on thats another story if you have the SLCD i have that file that you need...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dynamic3:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dynamic3:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1107963:
I never try this but supposedly this will take the s-off from your phone... I am attaching this file ask a dev to check it out to see if you are safe to flash it since i have a SLCD incredible... never try it tho...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dynamic3:
I don't mind if it removes s-off, in fact I want it to be as stock as possible as I'm prepping the phone for sale (getting the Bolt).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1107963:
check this out... and see if it helps...

http://androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/181255-how-downgrade-official-2-2-a.html

Note: why dont you sell your phone rooted that may increase the value... just saying... they person that purchase it may want to root it....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dynamic3:
That's exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

I guess I'm now confused as to what s-off is though. I was under the impression that it allows your phone to remain rooted even after you undergo an ota, however the guide claims that you can unroot and go back to 2.2, yet retain s-off.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1107963:
Yeap that right you can go back to the 2.2 but still keep the S-off if I am not mistaken that the Nanunlock that give you total access to the phone once rooted...(please someone correct me if Im wrong...)

but if you wanna have s-on flash that zip file before you unroot... I think thats how that work...

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms79723:
Depends on how you use it. I can pull out a day easy and I'm a heavy user. I browse for hours on my phone while listening to music. I'm on my phone right now haha.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kregstrong:
Lol nice. What device do u have?? U like it? What u think about the trophy? Its all verizon is getting haha
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms79723:
I actually don't have the Trophy. I just have the Arrive on Sprint. Both CDMA phones and same battery size...The way Microsoft is going about it, all Windows phones are the same. Just comes down to Samsung or HTC (for the most part and even then it really depends on SAMOLED screen or this LCD on HTC) or screen size. My screen is the smallest, not complaining, I like any screen close to the iPhone size. I had an Evo before this though so I know the extra room will be a plus on these devices. The phones are really really smooth. If all you've ever had were Android phones, this is about to blow your mind.

but 6-10 hours...ha! Only time I've ever only squeezed out 10-12 hours was on a work day. I work at a venue and I had to work the main stage...so I had to have my 3g on and music playing from 2pm to 1am. Also had to use my phone as a flashlight some times. I was on the web browsing facebook and other sites, was using the facebook app, music playing the whole time, texting like crazy, i made a quick call and my screen was basically never off. It did heat up quick, but it hung in there. My phone died in the car on the way home. I couldn't do that on an Epic or Evo (hell no on an Evo).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kregstrong:
Sweet man. Im so ready to be done with android, so unsmooth, thats the one thing i loved about iphone was how smooth it ran and great battery
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms79723:
Hell yeah. I try to use my mom's Evo sometimes...but its just so laggy! And it's a shame because all the HTC phones on WP7 have the same hardware as that phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeygust:
I'm an LG Quantum user. I believe my phone has the biggest battery of all the WP7 devices. Battery life varies depending on how heavy the multimedia use is. If I'm just browsing sites, texting, checking email, etc. Longevity is all day.

If I try do a lot of video playback, offline or online, or I play a few game sessions. Battery drains very quickly. Won't make it much past 3 hours.

Also, if you have WiFi and/or bluetooth turned on all day, battery will drain faster.

When I go to bed say 1am the battery just shows empty, or gives me the battery warning...

So pretty happy... Never got stuck because of low baterry... Just turn of WIFI and Data Conection and ''Low Battery'' is good for 1 hour and 1 or 2 short phone calls... ;)
