NOT for the extended battery!
Access to buttons is good, and the speaker port on the back is excellent for sound.
Here is why this review is one star.
This case, made by Seidio, the same manufacturer of the extended battery, listed in the extended battery case fit section, stating that it fits in the description, DOES NOT FIT WITH THE EXTENDED BATTERY FOR THE 8100!
When I purchased my Storm, I gave my beloved 8100 to my step daughter, a 14 1/2 year old uber texter who is known to be hard on her phones. I made the decision to get her an extended battery so the phone would make it through the day (yes, she texts so much that she can kill the pearl battery in a day), and also wanted to find some protection which would accomodate it. This seemed to be the perfect combination, especially since the case was tight and slim (shes 14 and looks are everything). This is to be a Christmas gift, and in trying the combination out while she sleeps, I find that the two components are mutually exclusive. They are 2 great tastes that cant go together.
Now I luckily, happen to be very good at performing subtile modifications to things to make them work on things never intended. So I am going to massage the case to make it work. However, if you make a purchase of this otherwise good case, thinking it will fit with the extended battery, dont. Cause it wont.

I will start this one star review with a disclaimer. I really like this case. It is slim compared to most hard cases, and the rubberized texture is fantastic. Id love to have a case like this for my Storm.Access to buttons is good, and the speaker port on the back is excellent for sound.

Do NOT buy this case
My experience with Seidio products has been very poor. They are poorly designed and even more poorly built.

Pros: Good protection
Cons: breaks very easily
