It seems like there is a new thread popping up every hour asking which case to get so I figured I'd dig around and round up all the cases and remarks people have made to try and give a single place for people to find everything.
I'm going to use the first page to have information about stock SGN cases (no extended battery). Then the next post will be reserved for the same thing, except with the extended battery for LTE.

nice work, but you didnt list whether these are for th gsm or the lte model, i got a gsm nexus and the barely there case is a bit too loose(meant for the lte). on the other hand, the cruzer lite case and diztronic cases are for the gsm.
Might want to add Case-mate's Tough-mate to the list. I've got it, it's great, but it will collect lint faster than a lint-roller and seems to like peeling up screen protectors...
Flip Case with Extended battery
I don't know if there's an extended battery for the GSM SGN but I would love to have a case like the one I have for my Iphone which look like that:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PU-LEATHER-FLIP-SKIN-CASE-COVER-APPLE-IPHONE-4-4G-3G-3GS-/120832338413?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c222b29ed&autorefresh=true
It should be able to accommodate an extended battery.
Al the SGN cases so far flip the wrong way for me to use in my car mount or have a tab that protrudes without being elegant.
Has anyone seen or has any ideas about cases of the kind I mean for the SGN?
Thanks,
Ehud
Thanks for the tips. I'm adding the Tough-mate after I post this. This is definitely a work in progress as I had only gone through the first page and a bit of the 2nd page of threads looking for information. At that point the great majority of posts were mostly reiterating what I'd already gathered so I thought I would just wait and add the things I missed as they're posted in here (assuming people use it).

I've added the DPair case to the list...I can't vouch for the quality of it or anything, but it appears to be what you're looking for.
I just ordered the Qmadix Snap-On Case w/ Holster off eBay and it should be here next week. It's supposed to fit both GSM & LTE. Hopefully it will also work with the extended battery I've got.

Just went through six pages of the cases w/ extended battery thread (up to post 57) and added a bunch of extra comments to the Extended Battery (LTE) list.
I'm basically trying to weed out all the non-informative comments and summarize every single thread about cases...if people could start posting/linking to this thread it would help me (and probably you and other members) out considerably

This is for the cruzer lite cases
Hi,
The PDAir case is along the way of what I want but it has the annoying tab to close the case which is something I'd rather do without. The Iphone case I have is without the tab - it just flips close magnetically.
I use to have a case with a tab on my HTC HD2 and it was annoying. It also doesn't fit quite as well in the car mount.
Could we get someone to produce custom made cases in China?...just a thought...
I am also interested in the Seidio case if it will fit with the extended battery. I bought and returned the Rocketfish case from Best Buy (which looks identical) to the Seidio one because it was such a tight fit when the front and back were snapped. It was like it was trying to come apart, but was VERY difficult to remove. I may just wait for an official solution from these manufacturers. With the price and great reviews everyone seems to be getting the extended battery. I mean the phone just feels better with it in there.
I have the Diztronic TPU case and it fits my LTE nexus like a glove WITH the extended battery. I fit it without the extended battery for comparison, and it was virtually the same either way.

the seidio one is tight as well. it just plain won't snap closed with the extended battery cover and using it with the stock cover it closes, but it's tight. there's a feltish backing on the inside of the back of the case that you can maybe peel away and get an extra .25mm which might be just enough to relieve the excess tension

I want to get an extended battery (nothing huge, no 3500 for me, but something in the lower 2000s will be fine) but I don't want to sacrifice being able to use a badass case like Trident cyclops or defender (can't decide which I want).
However, I don't think there's a 2000+ sized battery that'll fit in the stock case, so do any of those companies make cases for phones that have extended batteries?
If not, can anyone tell me the largest battery you can fit inside of a stock back door?
1800 is the biggest that will fit under the stock door....I just got a 3500 and will NEVER go back..awesome!
you can fit the sprint 2600 in the ballistic case with some modifications... there is a thread about it somewhere on here where someone was asking and I posted pictures showing what needed to be done
bump......
no one makes a rugged extended case except sedio man... thats it, your only option other than modding the ballistic case.
^ +1
i did this and its awesome!
I have the Seidio Extended battery and simply took one of my TPU cases and modded the back to be cut open around the extended part. The remaining cover still houses the sides and corners as usual and the extended case protects the camera/flash area. I have dropped it a few times and it has held up just as well.
At $4-5 a case, simple enough to do. I didn't want the added bulk of the Seidio Rugged, and the slim one piece case just simply fails to protect the phone when being dropped.
Some very small [email protected] pics from my webcam.
***Just read elsewhere that a credit card makes the perfect shape to cutout for a perfect tight fit to the Seidio Extended's bumpout.

Hello all,
As i'm sure some of you have been trying to find a case that fits the 2000mah kit from Samsung and having a lot of trouble? well being a case whore i'm building a collective list of cases which do or do not fit, if you have any info please PM me and i'll add your results to the list, please PM fitting and non fitting cases, but please CTRL+F and search for the case your going to PM me incase it's already on the list. without further ado;

Some pics would be realy realy nice, so everybody could see how it fits and if they could get used to it.
EDIT: Also you can add the SGP Neo Hybrid and SGP Neo Hybrid EX to the list. First one has a loose are around the camera (as seen in another thread) and the other one fits nicely.
I would put some pictures up but I don't own all of them, and a few I've checked out in Retail stores, however If I buy any that fit, i'll make sure I post up photos of the fit.
Then just put the pictures in you own. Some others who have the extended battery and a case could send you their pictures and you could implement them into your post.
When I get my S2, 2000 mAh battery and decided for a case i will do some pictures for you, too.
PS: You could link every name of the cases to their official pages, too.
Here are some:
SGP Neo Hybrid EX: sgpstore.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s2/sgp-samsung-galaxy-s2-case-neo-hybrid-ex-series.html
SGP Neo Hybrid: sgpstore.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s2/sgp-samsung-galaxy-s2-case-neo-hybrid-series.html

Case-Mate Barely There: case-mate.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Cases/Case-Mate-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Barely-There-Cases.asp
Hope I can help improving your thread I think your thread can help very many people.
Would love to know about the Otterbox Commuter compatibility.

Hi all!
Yes, as most soft cases the Graphix fits, but you'll see some looseness in the camera section. Also, I did not like the grip of this case at all, it felt slippery imo.
I went for the Neon hybrid instead, very satisfied.
How tight is the fit on the Case Mate Tough case with the 2000mah battery? I like the look of it and just placed an order for it. Is it so tight that there's a risk of damaging the phone?
Zenus Skin Air Jacket
Just got the new battery and put it in my Zenus Skin Air Jacket... dont know what to say... sadly it doesnt fit... but its useable.
The edge of the phone comes out a bit and therefore the access to the volume and powerbutton is limited.
I made some photos but cant post the links due lack of postcount
The Walnutt bumper fits for sure, but hell, it it even fits my Momax 2700mah Expower batts, so that's a moot point.
I am within the M25 and have an otterbox for my S2 if you need to try it then pm me.
what is the sense of using a bumper of a sgp neo hybrid ?
i mean, isnt the purpose of a case to cover the whole phone? both the examples above mentioned appear to just cover the borders of the phone, leaving uncovered the whole back of it.
actually sgp neo hybrid series sounds just like a overpriced bumper.
anyone, can prove the opposite?
actually i am very interested in this because it looks like there is no real hard non/bumper case fitting with the new battery: and the only (crappy) solutions appear to be either bumpers or gum/rubber cases ...

IT fits but the rubber part is under a small amount of pressure, pushing the phone out of the hard plastic casing. it is MINIMAL, if your like me and fiddle with your phone all the time, it is just a case of pushing it with the lightest touch back in.
It won't damage the phone unless your trying the impossible (pushing the phone into the bottom cutout.) and pushing so hard you crack the hard plastic shell in otherwords impossible. the ideal would be to cut the rubber out in the shape of the battery lid compartment. on the rubber part, then assembling with the hard casing. so you remove the tension off the added thickness.
if I have a hybrid neo spg .... and put the battery without the back cover ... only with the case spg ... looks good? or can cause problems? (Sorry for my English)

Cool. Thanks for the detailed description. I hate to mangle new case, but I may have to do that. Wonder if cutting out the battery compartment rubber part may reduce shock resistance of the case.
Can anyone tell me if it will fit in the Samsung Leather Pouch?
If not are there any other 'pouch' style cases that will?
thanks
I'm wondering what case people are using with extended batteries. My buddy bought this battery. It is working well for him, so I was going to order one. However I need to have a case that is going to protect my Evo. I'm currently using the Otterbox Commuter and would prefer one that offers similar protection. Any help is appreciated.
I don't use a case. I just use the screen protector. Granted, I don't have any kids around, so it's just more taking care not to drop it on concrete or something.
I just ordered the Trident Electra case which comes with a 2800 mAh battery:
http://www.cyclopscase.com/categories/Electra-Series/HTC-EVO-4G/
Seidio also has cases for the extended battery:
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4218.htm
If you do a quick search on eBay and Amazon, there's also a few silicone and TPU cases out there too.
Hope this helps!

I second the trident case. great case. Comes with a hard protective shell that has a built in screen protector and a rubber bumper in a variety of colors.
any thin case reccommendations?
seidio case
Seidio cases are the best.
Would you guys recommend the seidio extended case and battery over the Trident extended case and battery?
And why?
Edit: NM, I'll figure it out
~ I'm a fungi
I prefer the trident case over seidio for the simple reason that seidio, customer support stinks.

Anyone know which cases are confirmed to fit the extended battery?
Otterbox Defender series works great one mine.
Are there any cases that don't double the bulk of the phone that will fit correctly? Maybe a TPU case?
I got the Incipio Sycrillic case with mine. The extended battery doesn't really add that much bulk so the case still fits.
How much longer would the battery last? About double or so I would guess?
The extended battery is 2100 mAh, so it should give about 25% - 30% more usage time. The battery adds hardly any bulk to the device. It fits with the Otterbox Defender series (a tight fit but it works), any silicone case, and the Incipio Double Cover that Verizon sells. It does not fit with Verizon's Shell Holster Combo (with the kick stand).

25%-30%?
I think it's more like 13-14%%
25% of 1850mAH is 462mAH (so 2312mAH total) and this is only 2100mAH...
Supposedly the TPU cases still work on this.
I'm looking for one of those barely-there TPU cases for the GN. It's too thin and the extended battery doesn't even thicken it up, plus its slippery.
ebay
im pretty sure ebay will have them for like 5 or 6 dollars.. thats where i normally get my external wall chargers from they get the job done

Barely there is by Casemate, TPU is a company now named Ditztronic. Or, does Casemate Barely There use TPU (the material) as a case.
I read a review about the Barely There that siad it doesn't actually cover the whole phone, so if you drop it on the bottom, there is no protection. That was deal breaker.
What about the commuter series? My defender is too bulky
This sucks... one major reason for buying the phone was due to it's lightweight thin build.. and I can't really seem to find a case that leaves the phone thin and light..
I really like the Verizon shell/holster combo but it doesn't fit the extended battery

Fuhhh.. are you serious? I ordered the extended battery hoping that it would fit the shell/holster set. I like it because it's simple and has a kickstand that I want to use. So the shell doesn't snap onto the gnex?
Correct.. just barely doesn't fit. That's exactly why I like it.. not too thick and it has the kickstand if I need it
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Thanks.. i guess i'll sell this and find another case..
I like the trident cases personally. I know that they are going to be releasing one mid january, but do you guys think that with the extended it will fit?
So the incipio feather case wont fit with the extended battery? I had imagined the 1-2mm would make it a tighter fit but the impact would be negligible - can someone confirm that with the extended battery it indeed wont fit?
CaseMate barely there fits fine with the extended battery. The incipio silicrylic fits, but has a slight gap at the sides where the hard plastic fits over the silicone.

Why don't you get a skin? They're tricky to put on and really only offer scratch protection, but probably better than nothing.
I have a Galaxy S3 (i747) with the new Samsung branded 3000 mAh battery, but I need a case. The Otterboxes do not fit, and IDK if the Incipio will (I had incipio before my old GS3 was lost). Which cases will definitely fit this new size?
Seidio Active
By leaving the back cover off the phone this one will fit. It has a hard plastic outer shield for the back so it offers plenty of protection. Works for me until a made to order case comes out. I had the kickstand model first. I think it sucks. Would not hold the phone vertical, was ugly and it bulged too much. That be my opinion.
nothing else?
i have the same problem.. someone solved it?
are not there any case for the original 3000 battery ?
Diztronics makes cases specifically for this battery.

thanks for the info ill' call my london friend.
I have this battery + the Diztronic. The case fits perfectly and is very well done. It is available via Amazon or through the Diztronic site.
There is a long thread about this battery here but you have to go through the entire thread to find the cases that work. Mentioned as cases that fit: the Zoogue Social, the Eclipse, the Case-Mate Emerge Smooth, the Urban Armor Gear case (if you do not use the included battery door), and the "fake Spigen Neo Hybrids" from sunsky. Others have modded the Otterbox Commuter and the Invero Hard Plastic Bumper case (from amazon UK).
I have ordered some cheapo silicon cases that I hope are stretchy enough to work with the extended battery as I would like some more colorful options.
Anyone know which case this is?
