Hey guys, just wondering if anyone out there had any idea if the unlocked Gsm versions battery door would fit on the Verizon Nexus. I know its not out yet so we dont know for sure if its different but id like to see some of your guesses.
My reason for asking is strictly out of personal preference... I really dont care for carrier branding and ive owned both of the previous Nexus devices and ive grown a fondness to the Google logo being front and center..
Like i said just personal preference and im sure some of you may feel the same way. So let me know what you think. Thanks.
dont be surprised if there is a v on the front of it too
I don't see a V

That is a Best Buy advertisement. They always inflate the price of off contract phones because they get more money when you sign up with a contract. It can be had off contract for less elsewhere.
the VZW nexus has a bigger battery AFAIK...so i would think the battery door would not fit.

i would want this as well. noone wants verizon on the back cover. i know who my carrier is.
Im hoping to buy the US 1850mAh battery for my GSM Galaxy Nexus. I hope it won't require a different battery door otherwise I will have to wait for Samsung or another OEM to make an extended battery for the UK model.
i doubt it would fit.
also...from pictures i've seen the verizon version is a different colour so the GSM battery door would look a little odd!

Makes me feel much better about importing mine for $729...
I think I've read in multiple reviews of the LTE version (including the engadget review) that the GSM back cover will not work on the Verizon Galaxy Nexus.
if there were any branding on the front of my phone (google or verizon) i would be MAD. but as far as the back cover goes I couldn't care less.

Very nice, but they are probably all made for the slightly thicker kr version of the phone...
Not sure it would fit an international version.

Have a look at the white iPhone 4. It is thicker than the black one so new cases will have to be made for it. So not so uncommon these days

Some very nice cases here, but I really want a wallet style case with space for some cash and a few credit card slots. Then the phone case has everything and I don't need to carry my wallet as well!

.........then I checked all his items for sale and it turns out the seller has several Evo cases on sale.
FOR $10,000 EACH?

Wtf? For that price, you'd think shipping was included, but there's an extra $3 charge for that.
I sent him a message asking him if that was the actual price. Interesting stuff on ebay lately.
This will go good with my new limited edition oreo evo

I thought about asking him about the price. Now that I think about it, he could have copied the listing several times over to add several cases and not noticed the price.
I sell auto parts on eBay. I see this all the time because normally people don't have these items in stock so they put up at high price rather then deleting the whole post. This way the item is always listed and they can fix the price once there inventory gets updated.

That makes sense. I would still make a note on the auction saying "Out of stock; price will be updated to $xx.xx once stock arrives." or something along those lines. That way anyone interested would still add the item to their watch list.
I would probably give him $9000 for it, but not $10000. its all scratched up around the rim of it.
dude is smoking.
Id say $8500 is tops he will get for that thing
Here's their response:
Thank you for your question. this
item is currently out of stock. we
will remove the high price once we get
them in stock, we will never
sell a phone case with that kind of
ridiculous price. sorry for the
confusion. I will let you know when we get
it. what do you think?
out of stock was correct

As the title says, I'm looking to get a nice combination of bumper+mega battery.
I quite like the Sweet Armor posted at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422752
I'm still very much open to suggestion regarding the battery, but I'm looking at http://www.momax.net/en/Product_Show.aspx?ID=1565&T=1
So yeah, I'm open to suggestion - size, weight and bulk are absolute NON-ISSUES. I like a big heavy phone for my big hands. They just gotta fit together.
Many thanks!
My recommendation is to buy the official Samsung extended battery.
The aftermarket ones tend to get hot, melt, explode and make the babbies cry.

I was kinda thinking the same after reading the reviews for the aftermarket batteries. Thanks!
Now, I have yet to get a definitive answer whether the sammy 2000mah battery fits in the Otterbox Commuter case. The case compatibility thread has some minor details, and a half-assed 'yes-maybe'. Pic of phone & case:

i have just ordered this one http://www.flagshipfones.co.uk/batt...sung-galaxy-s-ii-s2-2600mah-cs-smi9100hl.html It should actually be here today, i hope it doesnt explode or i will cry!
Well, my extended battery arrived and i almost cried at the sheer size of the thing.... it's actually thicker than the actual device! WTF! the tatty back cover doesn't even fit properly! needless to say, the think will be getting returned! i think the official route will be the best one!!

I was told to get the extended battery from verizon by XDA member player911. I said okay, looked online and didnt find anything. I pm'ed him and he said call the store, ask them if they have it, and ask the price. It may come up as 50.00, if so hang up call another store. When it comes up as 25.00, profit. I attached proof for the ones that say pics or never happened.

No the LTE and GSM are different. They also have different battery doors.

As far as I know, this battery has always been "on sale" for $25 from Verizon since launch. I've seen these reminder news posts about it about every month now.

The verizon battery comes with a new cover that will fit the battery. But you're saying the actual width/height of the battery is different and won't fit in the slot?
Does it make a significant difference? I have the stock battery and I am usually plugged into an outlet for some of the day, but I run full brightness and Juice defender and have NO problems getting through the day. Although I would like to feel like I dont have to be tethered to a wire all day.
I too am mulling over buying the "extended" battery. Even though I'm not far from a USB charger in my daily routine.
25 dollars isn't that much money, but it's pretty pathetic when you only get an extra what? 300mAh? Something like an extra 16% capacity.
From what I have seen the extended battery and door don't really add any significant weight or thickness to the phone (which is good) but it really makes you wonder why they didn't just make the "extended" the stock battery if it adds no significant weight or thickness.
I came from my Sprint Evo with the official sprint extended battery, and to be honest I'm enjoying the "thinness" of my Nexus without the double width action going on.
I might stop by the sprint store today and pick one up after work, ONLY because I really want to get my inductive charging mod completed today. It's kind of pointless to mod the stock battery door and all that junk only to have to do it again for the extended back cover.
Granted my Nexus only cost me 9 dollars after trading in my Evo4G, after a Rearth case, Zagg film, and touchstone materials I gotta start watching how much I spend if I throw an extended battery in the mix.
Seems I'm an accessory whore
I somehow lost my extended battery while on vacation and have to buy a new one.... I'm hoping it is still $25.... but when I pull it up it now says for me it is only 25% off making it $37... Could be because there is a corporate discount on my account. Anyone know if it still is $25, or am I just a couple days too late :-(

I think the S3 is a better phone, it just needs to be rooted. I wouldn't trade it for the Nexus.

The S3 is a newer phone with updated spec. What is it that you don't like about the S3?
I think the potential is there once it is rooted and gets injected with some sweet custom ROMs.
I just miss my gnex. Stock jelly bean and pure Google. I liked the phone better. And I'm getting $100 with it.

If you want a Gnex, simply trade for it. If you're going to be looking at your phone multiple times a day, you better make sure it's the one you want.
So what if the S3 has better hardware? If you want the Gnex more, the S3 isn't any better in your own POV at the end of the day.
Edit: and since I provided you with such wisdom, you can compensate me with the $100 you'' get from the trade

s3 doesnt have a customizable nav bar and will always be behind with android updates. Not to mention all the already great roms that have had plenty of time to work out any kinks on the nexus. The only thing I really want on my nexus is a memory card slot, Ill take a better camera but the one is has is pretty damn good for a phone anyway.
Id say take the trade, when I was looking for used phones the nexus was around 300 and the s3 around 400 so you fit right in there getting the extra bill.
Here's the ad for the one I'm gonna go for. I found a better deal, this +$110. This phone hasn't been used.
