With Extended Battery (LTE)
Case Mate Barely There -- Barely There vs Feather PICS -- "Works but a result of the Barely There case being pushed out more, the side volume and power buttons sit right against the cutouts in the case, making them harder to press." | "Most minimal amount of coverage you can get to still have a case on, it feels and looks ok, but IMO it's not usable with the extended battery, the power button is too hard to hit as it's against the edge of the cut-out area (pics later...don't have them with me at work)."

However, I've been using the case while leaving the battery door off and it's working great." | "The incipio Sylicrilic case does not fit correctly. I tried it in the store." | "It's not a perfect fit, but it's hardly noticeable in my opinion the gap between the outer cover and the inner one"
Incipio Feather-- Barely There vs Feather Pics -- "It's "useable" with the extended battery, but still pushing the limits."
Otterbox Defender -- "Great" / "It fits with the Otterbox Defender series (a tight fit but it works)"
Otterbox Commuter -- PICS of Extended Battery Fit -- "2 of the corners have a slight gap and are left "
Qmadix Snap-On Case w/ Holster -- I have the Qmadix and it takes a little flexing to get it right, but you can use it with the extended battery.
Rocketfish -- Recommended Thread "The Rocketfish case will close.... but NOT all the way" | "use factory back with extended battery" | "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"
Rearth Ringke Slim -- "Sending to our Dev team...does not work with extended battery yet - Rearth"
S-Line Hybrid -- "definitely doesn't fit with the extended battery cover."
Seidio Surface -- Seidio Email Response -- Video w/ and w/o backing -- "Thin, perfect fit, no fingerprints" | "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"
Verizon Shell / Holster -- | How to get case to work with Extended Battery LTE -- "Works without the back cover" / "It does not fit with Verizon's Shell Holster Combo"

I think this is a great idea! Let's start populating it so we can justify the sticky!

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 thought the Seidio Surface didn't fit the extended Battery? Where did you find that it fits?

Someone had said it fit somewhere. If anyone can verify one way or another that would be great.

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.

This post give it a positive review so that's a start. I'll add my $0.02 when mine arrives.
*** Updated ***
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

thanks, this is the memory i will buy..
looking foward to see more accesories lists.
Hello has anyone come across a case for this phone with a slim kickstand like this please?
Google Pixel XL Case, VRS Design [High Pro Shield Series] Brushed Military Grade Protection with Metal Kickstand for Google Pixel XL 2016 - Really Blue https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MFX6MSD/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_DenEybEP004QB
I don't know that one, but I saw bunch of kickstand cases on Aliexpress, you might wanna check
I use this case with my Mi A1:
"Xiaomi Mi A1/5X Case, Spigen Rugged Armor - Resilient Shock Absorption and Carbon Fiber Design for Mi A1/5X (2017) - Black"
(pls do a google search for the amazon link, I can't paste it here)
Is there a phone belt case that will fit the Mi A1 with the Spigen case on?
The belt cases I found online for the phone won't fit.
Dimensions of the Spigen case: 18.2 x 8.9 x 1.5 cm (as listed on the amazon site)
I believe that the listed dimensions for the case are incorrect. These are the Mi A1's dimensions: 155.4 x 75.8 x 7.3 mm . A phone case is not going to be 3cm taller than the phone.
Moto G7 Case, Yiakeng Shockproof Protection Soft Glitter Silicone Slim Full Cover Phone Cases for Motorola Moto G7/Moto G7 Plus 6.2" (Black)
Had this a few days and it seems fine, buttons work well and everything lines up, big improvement over the clear included case. It was one of few in stock yet that said for G7+ too but it's decent enough for now. If Spigen makes a case for this phone (they haven't yet) I'll probably upgrade to it.
