I don't need some crazy 10,000 mAh ZeroLemon or even the 5900 mAh Gorilla Gadget one. How the heck do I get a case on it?
Is there a slightly extended battery that will still allow me to use a case or maybe a smaller battery / case combo that isn't ridiculously big?
I also don't like the look of the ZeroLemon. I think the back is ugly.

I was thinking of getting one until I noticed how ugly they make the phone look.. They make it so thick... Thats insane. My zerolemon for my note 3 atleast came with a case that made it look nice... Jeez
The ZeroLemon case for the V20 looks bad in the Amazon photos but when I saw the real world pics it doesn't look that bad. I had the ZeroLemon for the V10 and liked the feel in the hands.

I know the Siedio is the way to go, but my dad is thinking of getting this battery and back..
Honestly I like the look of this back MUCH MORE than the Siedio, but don't know about the quality of the battery..

3500mAh extended battery, thats the best you can get at the moment, and let me tell you, this battery and a good kernel and/or battery tweak will keep you going for more then a good day!
Recommend a 3500mAh battery. you'll be amazed
I have both batteries. I also like the back on the ebay battery better, but it will not fit in the seidio car dock. I've noticed no difference between the two batteries.

Yea it does look MUCH better than the Siedio style.. I don't know why Siedio didn't make their back like this one.. But I am going to be ordering two of them from this guy (Guy is located in USA too, not CHINA)
I'll post back here with some reviews and pictures..
It looks like the fit of the cover is good, what about the materiel for the cover? I see so many that looks like CHEAP PLASTIC, how does this one feel? Like the rubbery feeling of the stock one?
THANKS
I always used this website for batteries and always they were great
this one is estimated to ship on Feb 21 just 2 days before my bday i might treat myself!
Code:
http://www.mugenbattery.com/mugen-power-extended-2000mah-battery-for-verizon-samsung-galaxy-nexus/
it says it's 2000mah how much more battery usage i can expect?
before i flashed franco kernel (which was about hour ago)
my battery would hold around 12 hours on 4.0.4 i always listen to music text and do some web browsing. Thanks guys
You get ~14% more capacity compared to the 1750 mAh battery. So don't expect too much.
Why wouldn't you get the OEM Extended battery? It's half the price and holds more charge. If you're worried about the case the difference is barely even noticeable, most cases fit with the extended battery.
I get about an hour more on average compared to stock battery, which makes a huge difference for me. It's also good having an extra battery anyway.
If you've got a Verizon version, just buy the extended battery straight from Verizon its 2100mAh and comes with a proper back cover for less $$.

Thank you, forgot to mention that...like I forgot to mention since it's OEM you don't have to worry about the build quality being too poor, like you do buying from some unknown company such as the one in the OP
i dont want it to get fatter to be honest thats why i wanted to try that battery
and i will be using mesh case its similar to bumper case since i dont like most of the other cases

The OEM extended barely makes it thicker, it keeps NFC, and it is cheaper with more capacity.
You're going to put a case on it anyways, so why do you care about thickness? lol.
if that mugen battery is not larger than stock one i can assure you that you are not getting more capacity. mugen batteries are decent as far as aftermarket ones goes but they over advertise their capacity and charge more than oem but dont take my word for it. check out this website that tested some mugen batteries actual capacity. mugens 1800mah is actually 1400 and thier 3600 extended is 2500. http://batteryboss.org/
OK. The title says it...
I've become a huge fan of having an extended battery pack on my Note. The battery lasts almost all day with constant use. It's awesome.
My only problem is that I hate to roam around with a $700 phone that has NO case. I even used a razor blade and cut up a silicone case to "create" a bumper to protect the edges. However this hack isn't ideal.
I'm using the Hyperion Extended 5000 mah battery and I'm hoping to find a suitable case or bumper that will work with it. Has anyone tried using the Hyperion or another extended battery with a bumper on the market? Has it worked?
I've read in many other threads that people are looking for the same thing... However no one's made a thread about it.
Please post if you've found one or are also looking for one!
Mine should be here in 3 days. Also would like a good case for it. If not, I'll buy a sleeve for it
How u liking that massive battery? Feel like getting one since they are under 20 bucks.
Sent from my iPhone 4s using Tapatalk
I really like it. The size would probably bother most people, but I'm 6'5 and it doesn't bother me at all. Just wish I could find a quality case for it.
I'm sure Hyperion will make a case for the extended battery like they always do. But they're always ugly imo. No case is as pretty as my zenus capsule
Well I saw it here: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-3500-extended-life-battery-p/bacy35ssgng-gy.htm but I want to see if anyone have a picture of it with the cover: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-convert-extended-case-holster-p/bd4-hkr4ssgnlx2.htm since those pics are not the best ones. Also do you recommend it?
Thanks
No one? I really want to know before buying it.

I don't have a picture at the moment. I don't have that exact model, but the model I got from ebay is a 3800 mAh. I also got a case that fits around it.
With the case and the battery it is probably twice as thick as the phone with standard battery and no case. I don't mind, it fits in my pocket very easily and I feel much more comfortable with it.
took some pictures
I also have 3800mah battery, i took some pictures. rider.planet.ee/nexus
At first it felt little bit to big, but after few days its ok, fits in pocket.

Same questions to you... Have you been able to find any cover?
I just bought a cheapie ebay extended battery with cover, and it definitely improves battery life to nearly double the oem battery. I am pleased for the $8 I paid.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-3900mAh...3372&pid=100011&prg=1005&rk=2&#ht_1350wt_1111
Couple it with a bumper case (so the cover fits) and you have decent protection.
I bought an Onite 3500 mAh battery from Amazon several weeks ago for vacation days hiking. I was surprised how small it was. I didn't take it off until a week after I got back. In the city I get at least 2 days with juice to spare. It also supposedly has NFC, but haven't used it yet. It came with an extended back cover.
I bought an extended soft TPU case and pair that with a Seidio surface holster.
I paid about $13 for the battery, and combined with cases, no shipping.
I'm definitely happy with the battery.

I bought this battery for my GSM - ebay.co.uk/itm/251005399006?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_3041wt_1113
they send me 3800mAh instead of 3500mAh, or is it just a sticker on the battery that says its 3800mAh, definitely it lasts longer than OEM battery. Haven't bought case yet, but this one looks nice - amazon.com/Trexcell-Transparent-Thermoplastic-Universal-aftermarket/dp/B007XWP788/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344185186&sr=8-1&keywords=extended+soft+TPU+case+nexus

I bought that case and it is fine. It is actually somewhat translucent and has a slight pattern on the back. It means I can't keep my mad money in my phone case, but otherwise it did the extended battery well.
The Onite batteries seem to be getting more expensive but they can still be found for about 25 dollars, which I still think is a good deal. My 13$ battery is a veritable steal.

Looking for the same thing. Any options out there?
I'm using the zerolemon with the official life proof case now. The added thickness isn't enough to affect the case.

The Zerolemon doesn't have NFC correct?
Correct. I don't use NFC so it doesn't bother me.

I'm guessing i'll end up getting the Anker then due to the NFC and reviews, but still i'm open to some more opnions/options from other members.
Thanks.

I‘m a sales in our battery case manufacturer, a protective case with rechargeable battery inside.
choosing this battery case, first, i think it is its appearance, if it looks nice? slim?
then it is its quality, which kind battery made of? lithium or polymer battery? polymer battery is more better.
the battery capacity, IC control system...

I think he is looking for the best option for a battery that fits in the stock door so he can use the Lifeproof case. I am having the same issue. What is the best battery life out there for this situation?
I'm using the zerolemon w/o NFC in mine. The zerolemon doesn't add any thickness compared to the stock battery. Been using the battery since it first released and the lifeproof fre since it released. No issues and battery life is slightly better than the stock battery.

i can recommend oryginal Samsung 3000 - almost same size like stock one.
We're in need of a battery that would fit with stock backplate/life proof. If the 3000mah was I'd jump all over that. Thanks though.

oh wow i didnt realize battery effects nfc....thats crazy.
Im looking for the same thing. i was about to buy a zerolemon yesterday but it doesn't have nfc.
I know that they make sd cards with nfc, I have never owned one so i wouldn't know how well it would work with our phones. If the sd card with nfc works then i might buy one and get a zerolemon

That isn't a Lifeproof™® case.
I like zerolemon even though I don't use NFC.
