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

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.
i bought the 2100mah extended with cover for my verizon gnexus but the last 2 cases i bought on ebay didn't fit. ive heard the otterbox commuter fits pretty well with this battery. can anyone confirm or recommend a decent case that doesn't add a ton of bulk?
Best fit for me has been my diztronic tpu case, but it's a bit bulky and I don't like cutouts. I bought an ebay bumper but it's loose and creaky. My favorite has been the sgp neo hybrid even though the fit isn't 100% perfect.

I have a Diztronic TPU and a Trident Kraken. Love both.
i think ill try the otterbox for the heck of it.
Not sure if anyone's posted this, but I thought I'd do so just in case.
I always like using a holster with my phones. And, I usually end up using a Seidio surface case and holster with whatever phone I'm carrying.
I have the Seidio surface holster (for my Sprint OEM extended battery (2100 mAh) device). I like the Seidio case, but I also like to use my Cruzerlite Androidified A2 Blue case for a change of pace.
Today, I decided to see if my Seidio holster would work with my Cruzerlite case, and it did! In fact, it fits perfectly.
So, if anyone else hadn't thought of this and is interested in a good holster for their Cruzerlite case, you might want to consider this combo.
Seidio sells just the holster for about $20.00 if you didn't want to get the Seidio case. (Check ebay or Amazon, though, for a better price.

I recently purchased the Gorilla Gadgets extended battery for my SIII. At the same time, I ordered the snap on case that came with it. The problem is that it doesn't fit snugly around the sides of the device. Have any of you out there using extended batteries come across a good case for it? I thought I would ask here and hopefully save some money on other ill fitting cases.
Best I have found is Airbus on amazon. Its not perfect but its far better then the hyperion cases or the yesoo cases stay far away from yesoo. The airbus case did require punching out the mic holes with a paper punch as they were to small and blocking access.
Anything that isn't a TPU case?
At this point, I would be happy with anything that fits properly. The case from Gorilla Gadget is close, but not close enough, and I'm anal about my phone!
Seidioonline is the best I have found

Have you considered Seidio's extended cases?
Not sure if Seidio's extended battery is the same dimensions as the GG one though.
I personally ordered the active and one of their batteries, though shipping is taking forever
I have a Galaxy S3 (i747) with the new Samsung branded 3000 mAh battery, but I need a case. The Otterboxes do not fit, and IDK if the Incipio will (I had incipio before my old GS3 was lost). Which cases will definitely fit this new size?
Seidio Active
By leaving the back cover off the phone this one will fit. It has a hard plastic outer shield for the back so it offers plenty of protection. Works for me until a made to order case comes out. I had the kickstand model first. I think it sucks. Would not hold the phone vertical, was ugly and it bulged too much. That be my opinion.
nothing else?
i have the same problem.. someone solved it?
are not there any case for the original 3000 battery ?
Diztronics makes cases specifically for this battery.

Unfotunatly to italy is not possible to recive from their store
thanks for the info ill' call my london friend.
I have this battery + the Diztronic. The case fits perfectly and is very well done. It is available via Amazon or through the Diztronic site.
There is a long thread about this battery here but you have to go through the entire thread to find the cases that work. Mentioned as cases that fit: the Zoogue Social, the Eclipse, the Case-Mate Emerge Smooth, the Urban Armor Gear case (if you do not use the included battery door), and the "fake Spigen Neo Hybrids" from sunsky. Others have modded the Otterbox Commuter and the Invero Hard Plastic Bumper case (from amazon UK).
I have ordered some cheapo silicon cases that I hope are stretchy enough to work with the extended battery as I would like some more colorful options.
Anyone know which case this is?
