Anyone have this case http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-products/samsung-galaxy-nexus/aegis-case-samsung-galaxy-nexus.aspx and/or know if it will fit a 3800 mAh extended battery. I know the seidio cases work fine but I love trident cases and want to use an extended battery.
Thanks
I have this case and it fits my Sprint gnex with 2100mah extended battery well but I don't think it could fit anything much thicker than that.

The Seidio extended Convert Combo works quite well with the GNex and a3800 mah battery (I have the Hyperion).

I used that case on my evo 3d. It was nice, but the hard plastic outer shell was kind of slippery. I had to scuff it with some sand paper, to give it some grip. It was also a pain to put on. Since the n4 doesn't have a removable battery/storage, you won't need to take it on/off much, so it should be a good case.
Edit : I thought I was in the n4 forum when I posted this... I don't think I would get this case for any phone with a removable back plate

So I got the Extended Battery this weekend and the extended Battery Door/cover wont fit in my Best Buy Rocket dog Snap on case (sucks!). Anyone know what case will fit the droid x with the extended battery? Any snap on thin case like the one I have? Any pics?
Thanks

You can do what I do and simply leave the back door off when you put the case on it.... The extended battery sits flush really.
Or you can just use the standard battery door cover. It will still fit.
I saw in another post that someone who used the standard cover with the extended battery said it looked like it was putting a bit of pressure onto the inside of the phone (I can't remember when or who posted this, sorry, so no link, but it was on xda I believe). So if that's true, that's probably not a good thing to do.
It does put pressure on some components if you use the stock battery cover. You can see it clearly about half way up the screen, and applying any pressure against the cover results in "pretty colors" on the screen. I tested it and quickly decided against such. I'm most concerned what would happen if further pressure would be applied to the screen or phone in pocket, and what could happen in even a minor drop. I use a clear snap on case, it stays on reliably.
I'm currently using my extended battery with the original thinner back cover so I can keep my phone in my Snap on case. There wasn't much pressure and im not seeing any effects on my screen but my phone back is heating up much more then usual. I also know that battery expand when they heat up, so I'm worry about future pressure issues with my original back cover.
So I'm looking for a snap on cover that will fit the extended back cover.
I have also learned you can just take the back cover of the Droid X off, and use a thinner hard shell case without adverse effects.
I'm rocking it with my cheap TPU case. Fits nicely and I like the TPU for 'drop protection' over a brittle case.

Have a TPU case myself...loving it and fits perfect with extended battery and door
I am using the stock battery door with the extended battery and have not had any problems. I can push on the back cover with quite a bit of force and there aren't any discolorations on the screen. The cover was slightly more difficult to slide on, but once I did it the first time it now goes on perfectly without any extra pressure. I am also not noticing any extra heat from doing this. I have a battery widget that shows me the temperature and I logged the temps for a day with standard battery and then again the extended and if there was any difference it was always less than 2 degrees fahrenheit.
Lucky, my standard door over my extended battery leaves a dark mark near the middle of the screen. So back to the extended door for me
After five days, I can confirm the otterbox commuter case works perfectly with the extended battery and cover.

I purchased the Seidio Rugged case and it fits both the standard and extd battery.
Which TPU cases are you guys using or where did you buy them? I need 3 for all my Droid X's
The Trident case works as well.
I have the OtterBox Defender Series case and it fits great with the Motorola extended battery installed.

Wow, maybe I received defective otterbox cases, but neither defender nor commuter works perfectly with my extended battery and cover.....ok, but definitely not perfect!

Yeah, I didn't notice for a good while it as its hard to tell, but the commuter does not set perfectly flush with the screen along the side with the extended cover on. That lets some dust in.
Has anybody tried the sedio innocase surface with the extended battery cover? I am thinking about getting the extended battery and this is the case I use.

I have the seidio innocase surface combo and just received the extended battery. I can use my case with the extended battery door. It barely separates the middle of the case. I was able to get the stock battery door on the extended battery with no problem whatsoever. Either way I am happy with it. The extra battery life is incredible.

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

How do you like the Incipio Case? Does it add alot of bulk? Does it add alot of weight?

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
May have to risk going naked

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.
Does this work with the 2100 mAh extended battery? I want to get an otterbox case ASAP but I dont know if this fits with my battery.
General thoughts on the otterbox case for this phone?
Yes.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
yes it does. I am using the extended battery I bought through verizon with included battery cover. Otterbox commuter fits well.
I'm not sure why you are saying if it works with one it won't work "well" with the other. I have both batteries and have tried the case out with both. there is no loose fitmenet. everything is snug. Seriously, are we talking about millimeters worth of differences?
The way the case works is that it is first a "silicone type" case that wraps around it. then it fits into a plastic (or whatever it is) outer shell. Everything is very tight. Before saying something is or is not a good case, you should try it.
Welcome.
At the beginning I wanted to apologize for my bad English .
But to the point ....
I wanted to buy plus a 3800 mAh battery for my Galaxy Nexus (GSM), but I have a problem with the selection of the cover.
All cases do not provide for the use of such a large battery.
Only Seidio has to offer such cases, but they are quite expensive.
And here I wanted to advise you - do you know of any other inventions that could hold the battery?
I mean mostly about something that can be clipped to a belt and I would prefer if it was not the case rather holster.
Thanks in advance for your help!
been looking for the same man, only thing i've been able to find is this
you can type in Black Trexcell Samsung Galaxy Nexus Extended Battery Thermoplastic TPU Case on ebay.
nothing with a belt clip yet
Thank you.
I saw this cover.
I was wondering to buy a 3800 battery, cover case from Traxcell, and buy the Seidio holster.
Thanks to always save a little, but I'm not 100% sure that these parts will fit together.
Anyone knows if this case http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJxKfDsihus&feature=plcp is compatible with gsm galaxy nexus extended battery?
Can you please suggest me the best slim case for extended battery ?
The extended battery pack will arrive next week but my SGP Ultra Hybrid i think that will not be compatible.
Subscribed. I would also like to know this. I have a gsm extended battery that should arrive next week and I don't think my cheap tpu case will fit.

It does not fit with the extended battery. The second thread is stickied at the top of this section and is a great guide for finding the right case for you.
Damn that sucks it looks pretty bad ass
I own one and to be honest I'm not that impressed. Looks good and is very minimal but wouldnt really protect the device in case of a drop.
I use the dizitronic tpu on most days and have an incipio sylicrylic for days that I'm out and want more protection. The dizitronic doesn't add much bulk but provides some protection. Incipio is a dual layer case and a little more bulky but my phone is well protected when inside of it.
