ThunderBolt case review: Seidio Active Extended Battery case

Reviewed by Phil Nickinson

Here's our second review of an HTC ThunderBolt cast that fits the phone with an extended battery. The Seidio Active Extended Case is a dual rubber-plastic design that features a custom-fit exoskeleton with a soft silicone interior for shock absorption.

The case doesn't cover the phone's display, and there's a cutout for the camera flashes. But it's thick enough that it'll keep the display and camera lens from touching a table or desk when left face-down. The volume rocker works just fine through the case, but the ThunderBolt's kickstand is rendered moot. To that end, the Active Extended case has its own kickstand. It's plastic, instead of the ThunderBolt's metal design, but it gets the job done.

Sleek & Well Molded

User: Jill Kocher, Jun 21, 2011

Pros:	Silicone is not "sticky" and doesnt attract lint Silicone doesnt feel easy to tear Silicone is perfectly molded to fit the exoskeleton Port holes are in the right place, smoothly cut and dont limit usage Plastic exoskeleton clamps the softer silicone
Cons:	The kickstand is kind of wimpy, doesnt compare to the great kickstand on the phone Heat? My phone seems to be running a bit warmer to the touch but nothing extreme Silicone is kind of slick -- doesnt bother me, but its not "grippy" it thats what you wan

I drop my phone. A lot. And I demand longer battery life. So the lack of a reliable case that works with the HTC Thunderbolts extended battery resulted in a lot of scars on my lovely new phone. This case is high quality, well made, excellent fit, very pleased.

Pros:
Silicone is not "sticky" and doesnt attract lint
Silicone doesnt feel easy to tear
Silicone is perfectly molded to fit the exoskeleton
Port holes are in the right place, smoothly cut and dont limit usage
Plastic exoskeleton clamps the softer silicone case into place firmly
Kickstand included! Kudos for inclusion

Cons:
The kickstand is kind of wimpy, doesnt compare to the great kickstand on the phone
Heat? My phone seems to be running a bit warmer to the touch but nothing extreme
Silicone is kind of slick -- doesnt bother me, but its not "grippy" it thats what you want.

I havent dropped it yet with the case on, but I feel much more confident. It fits to snugly that I doubt the battery and door will be able to pop off accidentally when I do drop it (only a matter of time).

User: Les Looper, Jun 18, 2011

Pros:	Fits Perfect, Looks Good, Feels and Fits Good in Your Hand.
Cons:	None really.

I think its a Awesome and Good Looking Case for the Thunderbolt..:)

really great case

User: Liz B, Nov 27, 2011

Pros:	fits & looks great
Cons:	lame kickstand

Even though the extended battery adds bulk to the phone, I really like having it. After looking at multiple cases I decided to get this one because it had such good reviews. I am really pleased with the case. It fits great, looks great and feels really nice in my hand. The plastic kickstand feels flimsy and I know it will eventually break. It does work in either position so you CAN stand the phone upright. If I was able to access the original metal stand thats on the phone this case would be perfect. Other color options would also be nice.

Great Case, Crappy Kickstand

User: Anonymous User, Aug 17, 2011

Pros:	The case is sleek and easy to grip.
Cons:	Kickstand doesnt allow for upright stance.

I like the case a lot, however I use the kickstand for reading books on my kindle app at night. Though I can stand it on its side and still read them its more pleasing to be able to have it upright and have more words on the page. Maybe I am just being picky but I think they could have done better than the silly plastic kickstand for the price.
