what the heck is a protective membrane?

just a fancy way of saying screen protector?
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
Hopefully the Kraken comes out first...I really need a new case, this Seidio Rugged is a POS

I'd probably buy this if it beats Kraken, though Kraken is my 1st choice. I've heard mixed reviews about Fommy though...
[EVO 4G Accessories] GaryJ51:
Is that Phil the Kraken?
[EVO 4G Accessories] stanglifemike:
That is the same release date as the Ballistic case(I just got off the phone with them). So its going to be a decision of which one people like the most, and not which is released first...
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
I like having my camera lens and ports covered. Are they covered with the Ballistic. Either way though, it is a tough looking case!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Saltwater Hero:
Hope you are right!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
What is this ballistic case you speak of?

[EVO 4G Accessories] beanx:
lol the bestbuy in my town sells these otterbox defender cases. Kinda weird that that it says they arnt shipping until 11/15 i have one on my evo right now...
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mayonesa:
are you sure its the defender? and not the other 2 that have been out for a little while now?

did it come with a holster?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Saltwater Hero:
Shut the hell up kid
[EVO 4G Accessories] thacounty:
BULLspit. Pic or it didn't happen.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Saltwater Hero:
I can't hold onto my ass any longer.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
obviously he's mistaken and has the Otterbox Commuter or Impact
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
:D:D:D

Hey Saltwater Hero, are you going to get the Defender or the Kraken?
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
man, just had a look at the ballistic case. that is one ugly looking thing! still, nice to have choices. i'm sure someone somewhere will think it looks cool. personally i think the Commuter is a great case, unless you are a tree trimmer or a utility pole worker, the Defender is overkill in my opinion. Would be nice to have a holster though..
[EVO 4G Accessories] ms79723:
haha, the Ballistic case is uglier than 3 mofos, but usually the ugly stuff is what works best.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
pics or it didn't happen
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
Yeah, I would like to see pics of his rebranded Seidio Rugged....I mean Otterbox :rolleyes::);)
[EVO 4G Accessories] Saltwater Hero:
I'd love to go with the otter box the main reason why is it doesn't expose our kickstand and it has its own which makes a better seal to keep the bad stuff out. But if its not out by the middle of Nov I'll most likely go with the ballistic. I'm rough on my stuff and I do alot offshore fishing so my stuff is always getting salt spray I need as much as a seal as I can get.
[EVO 4G Accessories] dmc971989:
actually... I am, lol

hence Ill be ordering one of the defender (or ballistic) cases when they come out
[EVO 4G Accessories] chucktownscitch:
Little too late =/

I have been waiting on otterbox to release the defender since i picked up my evo. However I could not wait any longer with this battery and just had my seidio arrive today =( Maybe i could cut a little opening for the battery to stick out of the otterbox lol.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ms79723:
The more and more i look at the ballistic case, the more insane it looks. It looks like it'll be able to help me in a bar room brawl or something. This is gonna be a tough choice, both good choices though. Im excited.
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
My Seidio Rugged is falling apart. The soft plastic port covers are torn. The Innocase II hard inner case just had a piece snap off. The Exoskeleton shells corners are popping off.

Oh, and my wife's case is having similar issues. idk, looking for a replacent now...
[EVO 4G Accessories] redrazr7791:
Right...its probably that piece of crap slide-on case that they sell. Anyways, it's about time that the Defender case is released. This Amzer skin is starting to get a little flimsy :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] Saltwater Hero:
Well on the facebook page today they said it is being manufactured right now so lets all prey that it wont be much longer.

[EVO 4G Accessories] klbjr:
Really want one of these! Bought the Commuter soon as it dropped but since have bought a Sedio 3500 battery So had to give it up. Too bad Otterbox doesn't make a Defender to cover it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bigredgman:
That ballistic case looks like a a case you would use on a band tour to transport instruments. Talk about rugged, and uncomfortable in your pocket. I mean c'mon the otterbox commuter is bulky as it is, I can't really imagine anything much bigger. Definitly not something I'm interested in. Not that I really need that kind of protection anyways my phone is never in danger of a James Bond style impact.

Sent from my totally awesome EVO.
[EVO 4G Accessories] skyfox99:
I have the Trident case for the EVO and am very happy for the week I have had it. I have had the Otter Box and a few others and while the Otter Box Defender is a great case, it is a little too bulky for me. I would definitely recommend the Trident Cyclops for a medium-heavy duty case. Similar design to the mid level Otter, but I liked the color options better.
[EVO 4G Accessories] elapshtc:
Just pre-ordered the case. Can't believe the delay for accessories for this phone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
you pre-ordered WHAT case?
[EVO 4G Accessories] elapshtc:
The otterbox defender for the evo from www.mobilecityonline.com, they have a discount for pre orders.

I have the seidio defense one for the evo now http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd3-hkr4hev4.htm

but it doesn't have a kick stand and the clip on the holster that secures the phone to it digs into my side
[EVO 4G Accessories] elapshtc:
http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=26887

Hmm they just changed the arrive date it was nov 22 now it's dec 7

Might have to get it somewhere else now
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
i just pre-ordered from amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Otterbox-Defender-Shield-HTC-Black/dp/B0043GWDZ2/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_t

even if it takes a month, thats still a fantastic deal:cool:
[EVO 4G Accessories] elapshtc:
You might want to cancel that it is titled wrong you just bought the otterbox impact. Scroll down and read the product description
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
true, but the release date is in line with the Defender, if it was the impact it wouldn't be a month or two till shipping and the image is of the Defender series. even if they do screw up and i get an impact, i'll just return it as being misrepresented. no worries!:D
[EVO 4G Accessories] wtmaxx25:
Otterbox Defender for EVO is here!

I just got the Email and ordered directly from the website anyone who put there email in for arrival gets a 5$ off promo code, i used USPS priority instead of UPS should take about 2-3 business days.
[EVO 4G Accessories] elapshtc:

[EVO 4G Accessories] freerein100:

[EVO 4G Accessories] Iilex:
Wow, its actually available for sale now! just waiting for amazon to stock it up and its mine! Should give me some leeway to see first reviews of the product though :]
[EVO 4G Accessories] Saltwater Hero:
I canceled my amazon order today and just ordered it from otterbox with the 2 coupon codes I had my case was 40$ I don't mind paying a lil more to be one of the first to get it.

[Droid X Accessories] xmetl:
i recently bought a extended battery with cover off of the official VZW online store. the battery worked great for about a day until the battery life ran out, then i tried to charge it and now it just started randomly shutting off on me even when the phone said i had about 60% battery remaining. so i left it in the charger over night and now it wont even turn on at all until i put in the regular battery. so i ordered a new one and you know what happened? the exact same problem occured with this battery to. it worked fine for a day, then it ran out of juice and completely stopped working.

so here is my warning to all of you. DO NOT BUY THE EXTENDED BATTERY. it is complete garbage and does not work at all. dont waste your time or money on it because you will for sure have the same problems i did. i am now stuck with 2 non working extended batterys that i need to send back to verizon to get my money back.
[Droid X Accessories] kameleongt:
I was having crazy issues with my batter acouple nights ago. I never let my phone completely die but it happened this sat. I put it onthe charger then when I tried to turn the phone on the battery meter went from 0% to 5% to 60% then I unplugged it and tried turning it on to no luck... thereafter I put it on the charger and waited for it to get to about 15% and turned it on while still plugged into the wall and it started up. I let the battery charge full and the phone began working like normal.

I am on leaked 2.2, with rubix rom and o/c'd 1.15 and on stock battery
[Droid X Accessories] zehkaiser:
I have 2 stock batteries that I swap daily. If you let the phone die completely you can't turn it back on until you've charged the battery to at least 5%. Sometimes when I swap a battery from a fully charged to one that's about 15% to recharge, it says it's at 60%. Not sure why, but it sounds like the phone's software looks at the readings and says to itself, "there's no way I can go from 100% to 15% when I shut down and rebooted." I'm sure it's just the software being stupid.
[Droid X Accessories] kash521:
I've had the extended battery since I bought the phone about a month ago, never had a single problem with it and my battery life is great...
[Droid X Accessories] DRTMI:
I bought the extended battery when they became available, and have not had a problem with it.:D Knock wood
[Droid X Accessories] dspero:
Love my extended battery. No issues here.
[Droid X Accessories] SplicedX:
No issues with my extended battery either. In fact, I regularly get 30 - 36 hours out of it!! :D
[Droid X Accessories] kcasner:
Extended here too, no problems whatsoever since it was released. The issue I have is the motorola cases not fitting.

Had I known this, I would have bought the Siedo extended battery instead.
[Droid X Accessories] trkin:
I just bought 1 of the hard cases from verizon and it's allllmmost perfect. No problems whatsoever except for that the 1 spot above the charging port will not stay snapped. i got my extended battery last night. I let it charge for 12 hours for the first time and I hope that helps it. I kind of believe that that is some peoples problem. they don't let it charge long enough the first time. I let it charge 10 to 12 hours and then let it die all the way the first 2 or 3 charge cycles. Then I usually plug it in once It gets down to 15 percent and every 10 or so charge cycles I let it die completely. I can't wait for the seidio 2800 mah battery. Is there any news on a release date? I had the 3500mah battery for the incredible and it was spectacular. I use the phone so much that the standard battery only lasts 3-5hrs but the seidio innocell lasted 1.5 days. A huggggeeee upgrade. But I couldn't find a reasonible case afterwards so I kinda put my silicone case on and traced around the new battery cover with a boxcutter to make it fit. Afterwards I melted the edges with a lighter to smooth them and prevent splitting. The DInc seidio extended case doesn't cover the bat door anyway. Not to mention it doesn't even cover half the edges. I sure hope they design a bettr case for the DX cuz I love their batteries are the best
[Droid X Accessories] Ubermicro13:
Are you using the Moto charger?
[Droid X Accessories] Casshern:
I had similar problems with my first extended battery for the Droid X. However Verizon replaced it, and there has been no problem since.

As for incompatibility with cases, I use the snap on clear case from Verizon. Had problems with it not wanting to stay snapped together. After modifications to the case failed to correct the issue, I removed the battery cover completely. No issues anymore.

Plus since I use the clear case, I have a nice nerdy view from the back. :)
[Droid X Accessories] burbank:
I received my Extended Battery two days ago. I love it! It holds significantly more power. And I can still use my Body Glove Droid X cover with the Extended Battery and included battery cover.

Anyway... I rate my extended battery experience as 10 out of 10.
[Droid X Accessories] kameleongt:
I cant say I noticed to much of an increase but i'm back and forth with modding and o/c so I know lots of that goes into play with battery times.. right now i'm on an UV and I can easily go into a 2nd work day without needing a charge.
[Droid X Accessories] RedBank:
+1

Yes...extended battery didn't make a bit of difference...it made a HUGE difference. :D

It is barely noticeable in size...fits in the multi-media dock, no probelm with my hybrid TPU case...and lasts quite a bit longer.

Or maybe I should say...gets me through to where if I did run out of juice...I'm at home with a charger. Either way...I'm good from 6am to 6pm at least. (i dont call anyone btw). Just massive amounts of texting and web.
[Droid X Accessories] das7771:
I have had mine for almost 2 months and it works great. I deffinitely notice a difference from the stock battery. Would by again if I had to do it all over.
[Droid X Accessories] SirBrass:
Same story here.
[Droid X Accessories] rolandroland:
It's good to post your experience, however don't you think a sample of one device and two batteries doesn't qualify as a crappy accessory? I've been running an extended battery since it came out with great results. As a matter of fact a week ago I tried to go back to the standard battery just to make sure the improvement wasn't in my head and the difference was at least 3 hours.

So assuming you aren't frightened at the prospect of returning a battery if it doesn't work for you, go ahead and get one. For a very modest bump in weight it adds a lot of life.
[Droid X Accessories] JonKyu:
Same with me, mines working great.
[Droid X Accessories] BridgeScore:
Don't buy the extended battery

I also bought the extended battery from Verizon. It works fine except for a small problem. The built-in battery monitor some times complains that I have installed a non-compatible battery or something like that and suggests that I replace it with the original. A question mark "?" shows up in the status bar and the battery level is not reported correctly.

I picked up "Juice Defender" and paid for the pro model. It says that in last 48 hours It has multiplied battery life by X1.73. I also downloaded an app called "battery Status" which shows the percentage of battery left. Lots of nice options for display.

So what did I do with my original battery? Hmmm I noticed that it is fairly thin so I stuck it in my wallet. Since the ram is non-destructive, I can change the battery when it gets low.

All in all I am very happy with the "Extended Battery" I got from Verizon.

It is uber-awesome! I am very happy with it at the moment!!!!!! (two days, I was typing faster than I was thinking!)

Extended battery here as well. Not going back to stock!
[Droid X Accessories] joebob296:
I bought a 3800mah battery off ebay for $11.47 and it works amazing 3 days on one charge. Not only does it last forever somehow my phone displays the proper percentage and everything it seems like it is recognizing it as the stock battery.
[Droid X Accessories] torikorocks:
I got the extended battery from Motorola too. Couldn't be happier.

[Droid X Accessories] Robodude288:
Those having trouble with the extended battery should try resting their battery data as the phone might be confused between the standard and extended battery

let the phone charge overnight

then go in to clockwork mod and under advanced clear the battery data

now run the battery down all the way completely dead don't plug it in until the phone refuses to turn on anymore then charge it to full again

this should give the phone a proper read on the battery and hopefully take care of any issues you are having
[Droid X Accessories] ramik911:
Bought Verizon/Moto extended battery the day I bought the phone. On average I go about two full days sometimes three without needing to charge.

I have a widget on the Home screen for Display brightness. Always use it when I'm switching from indoor/outdoor or day/night use.

i bought a 2400 mah battery from amazon and it showed a questioin mark in the center of the battery. I left it plugged in for 8 hours like suggested, and when i tried to tun it on i had left it on the charger and everything seemed fine until the pop-up saying it was an unofficial battery. i tried several resets several times to no avail. Finally on a last effort i figured, "Hell it starts up with no battery on the charger right!? let me see if i can JUMP IT!" so i replaced the battery while on and running but PRESTO! it worked! don't try this at home. but my exsperience none the less.
[Droid X Accessories] xdstx:
Which extended battery would you guys recommend? I am currently using the stock one and am seriously disappointed with the battery life I'm getting. I was thinking about getting the one from Verizon, the $49.99 one that comes with the battery door. But people are talking about Seido batteries? How are those, and what would you recommend? I don't want too much bulk on my phone.
[Droid X Accessories] 0reo:
You guys alternating between two or more batteries might be burning them out faster. It has to do with lithium ion battery technology. They're easily damaged by over-discharging. I'm not sure how the phone-battery calibration plays into this but I can imagine a phone calibrated to one battery over-discharging another.
[Droid X Accessories] brutalsnowman:
I have wondered about that. would you have to wipe battery stats everytime you switched the battery?
[Droid X Accessories] racereddy20:
I have the verizon extended battery with the door. 2 days with regular use without charging is the norm.
[Droid X Accessories] 0reo:
I would imagine that would be better but I don't know how the phone's battery management software works.

Lithium ion batteries are also sensitive to high temperatures. So, heat-soaking your phone by extreme over-clocking would be bad, as would leaving the phone in the car on hot summer days. Pretty sure I've destroyed a few phone batteries that way over the years.
[Droid X Accessories] debuf007:
Wow, that is nuts. I just got my X and I've installed some apps to save battery but have been looking into getting an extended life one. Thanks for all the info! Now I know what to do if that happens!
[Droid X Accessories] mrmooney1970:
I've got one of the cheapy ebay 3500 batteries but i cannot get the meter to sync correctly I have tried clearing the battey stats. It dies about as fast as stock but it will stay on 10 percent for like 2 days lol.

Any ideas how to "fix " this?
[Droid X Accessories] xdstx:
You can try using this
