extended battery case

Which case are you guys using with the extended battery? Is there any way that I can fit the phone with the ext battery into the OEM case by stretching it out?

Thanks

My phone fits in the Sprint OEM case, but it's tighter than I like.

I now use a (gigantic) aluminum case w/ a cutout on the back for the extended battery. Search google for "6700 aluminum case" to find it. Others have had bad luck with these popping open and also with the belt clip coming unscrewed, but mine has been great.

I'm using the Rat Wallet from Maxpedition. It sticks out a bit, but I don't have to carry a wallet this way either. I bought mine for about $22.00 from tadgear dot com.

I use one from Seidio. Bit large, but holds the handset well and protects it too.

anybody use their phone as an mp3 player while working out? I bought this battery so I could do that but it already seems kind of large in my pocket.....

I use the same aluminum hard case. It protects the phone quite well, except for when you brush it with your arm while wearing it on your belt. My phone has gone out for numerous sky dives and one swim in 4" of water in a rushing rain gutter.

I was looking for something better, but with the PPC-6800 coming out on May 11th, there's no point in wasting the money
