I've scratched up the back of my nexus and am looking for an OEM back cover for GSM nexus. Just the stock one not extended. I was looking on eBay but only found extended back covers for Verizon and such. Can anyone post a link? Thanks in advance.

NFC is based on the battery, not the back cover. So if you're using one of the OEM standard or extended batteries or the Mugen batteries then yes NFC will work.
Where is the best place to get an OEM battery with the NFC chip?

You should think about getting a custom laser etched design. We provide the battery door. PM me if your interested. Check out our thread here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617905

Has any found a slim extended battery? Before ordering the Seido 3800mah one. Tried but couldn't find anything. Wanted to see if there is one out there that is still more mah then the stock one but same size so I don't have to suffer from adding the additional thickness. Not looking for anything close to 3800 with a slim one of course, maybe in the 2000's area or so. Thanks in advance.
mugen is doing one
i tried to find this but failed. could only find the HUGE one for the i900 or whatever.
can someone post a link?
Vzw galaxy nexus extended batt works, but your back cover will be rendered useless. Mines off, but covered by a seidio active and works pretty well.

Wonder if the extra 150mAh is worth $45.

Not that fond of mugens. Their mAh ratings are often exaggerated and it's overpriced.

Why bother, it's the same mAh...
Just got my sprint gnex today and I am wondering if anybody knows of the highest charge extended battery that doesn't involve replacing the back cover.
Also NFC support is a must.
badabump
I know you asked for extended battery but I don't know any I got this one from amazon and is just an spare battery with NFC and it comes with a really nice dock to put the phone too

Where?
If the Sprint battery is compatible with the Verizon battery then Verizon sells the 2100mAh for $25 at a store.

I don't have one either, but I think what's not compatible (without slight modification) is the Verizon back cover. I think the Verizon OEM battery would work fine on the Sprint device, otherwise.
Would be nice if Sprint launched with their own back cover and extended battery options.

The battery is a little larger than the 1850mah version that comes with the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. However, the back cover doesn't fit perfectly. You'll have to use a nail clipper or something similar to cut off the 2 small plastic nubs to fit the Sprint phone. There is a little bit of a flex on the cover where the nubs were cut, so unless you have a phone case, like a Cruzerlite case, I would not recommend using this battery/back for the Sprint version of the Galaxy Nexus. It's not major though, so it's possible to live with it if you're not really picky about the fit not being perfect.
The original back cover for the 1850mah battery will not fit with the 2100mah battery.

Wonder if samsung might make one for sprint?
I'm thinking in getting the Galaxy Nexus, price is nice.
I'd buy this version "Samsung I9250 Galaxy Nexus 16GB" that is GSM, which extender battery will work why that model?
I understand that the i9250 is not LTE, so, I cannot use the LTE extender battery from Samsung?
I'm confused, please help me!
Best regards.
That is correct. The battery door and shape are very slightly different so they are not interchangeable. Samsung has an OEM extended battery you can buy on eBay with shipping from South Korea.

Wow, thanks for your email.
That OEM extended battery fits in the stock backcover?
Do you have a link for buying the battery? (Amazon or Ebay)
Thanks!

The OEM extended battery does not fit in the stock back cover. If you buy one it should come with its own door.

Yeah. The bottom the the stock door bends in towards the phone. The new one will follow the curvature of the bottom of the phone, making it as if the battery door was just part of the back. Find pictures to see what I mean.

I have then official extended battery for my gsm nexus. Definitely worth it I think. Should have just came with the phone.

Does it include the back cover?

I don't see it in Amazon
Instead of using an extended battery I use a pocket USB charger. My phone is connected by a USB to the charger which is in my pocket. The charger holds 5000 mah so I can use it for any least 3 days.
Also it was for only $30 at future shop so it's a good deal.

im trying to find a practicle portable usb charger but they are all too big and require u to carry around a cable to plug it in. which one did you buy? sounds pretty insane if its small and fits in your pocket with the phone AND packs in 5000mah. did u mean 500mah?

Too bad that doesn't ship to India.
Any other sellers that ship extended battery with cover for GSM model to India?
i was wondering if anyone knows if the international galaxy note 2 battery cover will fit the US version? I seen a nice black leather cover on ebay and i want it, i noticed the international versions dont have the NFC prongs but i can do without that for now
Yes, just your nfc wont work.

Just dug up the link for someone else, so I figured I'd post the eBay listing for both versions while I have them pulled up.
This is the same back cover as was on the Galaxy Nexuses given out to Google employees on Christmas 2011.

Unfortunately no. :/ I've heard of people who have managed to get the stock extended battery to fit though. Next week I'll be ordering the 2100mAh extended battery and seeing what luck I get.
Yes the standard door fits just fine. Running it now.
