What is the largest capacity battery that can be fitted to the Orange SPV M5000 without having to make any changes or fit new covers. Also where is a good place in the UK to get one. Regards John.
Without fitting new covers? Easy: the standard.
Extended batteries have an outer casing that mimics that normal cover, so you just snap them into place, and you're good to go.
Oh, and they cover the camera too...
thanks, mzalan i suspected that. Is the cover the same hight as standard, apart from not having the camera hole, & what size battery will that cover

What about the pouch? Will the battery come with a pouch that the new sized universal will fit in?

Hello ALL,
I need suggestions for a carrying case that will fit my universal with a high capacity battery. I'm aware the battery protrudes out and hence, the normal case I have (and many others out there) wont fit it. All advise will be appreciated. Also is the 5200mAh battery thicker than the 4800mAh or the 3000mAh? I want to buy both the battery and casing. Thanks..
Best Regards,
TBaba

I "forced" mine into the piel frama leather case and although I stretched the leather a bit, I think it's ok. Problem is, I couldnt close the strap anymore, but it's fine.
anyways its too huge. i will just slip it into my bag. but yea a nice leather case will do to protect it.
I have just modified the original leather case to fit Universal with new battery
Any pics anyone?
you guys mind posting the pics of your modified case here? TQ

I can put my Uni with the silicon case.
I use a Case Logic case made for the Nintendo DS. Works like a charm, you can grab them at any Best Buy store.

I found this and was wondering if anybody has used it with the extended battery or if it would stretch.

I have this and it definitely won't fit the extended battery. It'll fit the device snugly and will stretch to be looser over time. I have a barely there style case on the phone and the pouch has stretched enough to cover the whole assembly.
Thanks, im contemplating this one now. http://www.htcdepot.com/smartphone-experts-pocket-pouch/4A132A7265.htm
If I get the Samsung Extended Battery and Cover for GSM Galaxy Nexus, can I use the standard battery with the extended battery cover?
I've seen some suggestions that it will work fine and some suggestions that the standard battery will be loose with the extended cover. I don't mind carrying a second battery, but carrying a second back cover would be a hassle.
I sometimes use the stock battery with the extended battery cover. I just added a piece of foam to the back of the battery. I don't use NFC so I can't say how it would impacted.

Did the stock battery rattle around without a piece of foam?
I also use the original battery as a spare one with the extended cover. I never used any foam or paper or any filler material to compensate the thickness and there were no issues. the NFC is working excellent also.
Do third party cases fit over the extended back?
I personally tested 2 cases, both with perfect fit:
The "TPU S-line" and the "Momax iCase Pro"
Is it the door or the extended battery itself that causes fitting issues?
Like with the battery door off my VZW my phone fits into the standard holster/shell combo.
Do most of the fitting issues for the device come from the door then when it's on? The battery size isn't all that much bigger than the std one.

Not sure I fully understand what you are asking but I'll give it a shot.
So there is the standard 1850mAh battery with a standard door (battery cover?) that comes with the Verizon Nexus. Then there is the 2100mAh extended battery that is just under a millimeter thicker than the 1850. The extended battery comes with a different battery cover that is more rounded, especially towards the bottom, to allow room for the extended battery. Being more rounded at the bottom is what I believe causes problems with the phone not fitting properly into certain docks/holsters and what not.
The standard battery cover has the slight lip at the bottom which is what most cases and things are molded to, and this lip is quite a bit different when compared to the contour of the extended battery cover, hence you have problems with cases not fitting. So I think the extended battery cover is more to blame than the extended battery itself. It seems like they made the cover more rounded than it needs to be, because like you said, the extended battery is not that much bigger at.
Yes it's the door. The prongs are longer and the door sits out farther ever so slightly. Most cases can be manually bent slightly at the center to give them a curve that fits the new back. Do so carefully though. Better to bend slightly a bit at a time than to try to force it.

Hey all,
I got a back cover today(http://goo.gl/pJkxk) that fits with the stock battery. However, I've been having issues with battery life, so I'm looking into getting the official 2100 mAh extended battery, but I'm loathe to give up my shiny, Google-y case. Would there be any chance that the case would still clip on with the extended battery?
Thanks!
The stock battery cover won't fit with the extended battery (2100 mAh). The extended battery needs the extra room at the bottom where the stock cover tucks into the phone.
Edit: How does that cover look and feel? I've been debating on ordering it for quite a while, but I haven't been able to bring myself to order it haha.
I swear I have the stock cover with the 2100mah battery and the cover fits perfect. It's completely flush. I bought the phone used so maybe it isn't stock? I'll post pics tomorrow.
edit: what i thought was a duplicate battery cover that came with my phone is actually the standard cover... ive been using the extended cover and didnt even know it. the difference is so tiny, all i can see is a tiny spot where the stock one dips down, the extended one doesnt.
I just tried it with my standard battery cover and it did fit, but I wasn't comfortable with how the cover was bent from pressing against the battery. Technically it does fit, but I'm not sure if it would have any adverse effects on the phone. I suppose YMMV
My OEM cover fit with my Samsung 2100mah, it does "bulge" a bit, but it fits.
