[LIVE] On VZW, Extended Battery for $25 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Go to Verizon's website, and the Extended Battery w/ Cover for the Galaxy Nexus is now just $24.99, instead of $49.99.
You have to add it to your cart and then go to Checkout to see the change.
LINKY
EDIT: DEAD as of right now, not on Verizon's site anymore
EDIT 2: It's back on VZW as of 1/12/2012
EDIT 3: Still live 1/24/2012

anyone know if this will work for GSM version? since it has a new battery cover... might work?

there is another post here in the forums saying that the extended battery WON'T fit for the GSM version.

Yeah just saw that as well... totally different sizes.

Nice find, I checked yesterday and there was no discount. I would have not checked again on my own.

Link please? It appears VZW may have hid it.

I'll get up to 10 posts and post the link.

Really do need a link here OP. I looked on Verizon's store and only see standard covers and batteries.

Same here, and even if I go to the site on another browser it still doesn't show for $25.

I closed out of browser, went to the link directly, added to cart and see $25

I of course post that it doesn't work and then i go and actually look in the cart and its fine.

Thank you for that link. I already thought the $50 price was a decent deal, this just made it a no brainer.

Anyway to get this price in store. I am stuck with a $50 living social voucher done I was able to get the Gnex online for $150+ tax.

Chill out, guy. If you happened to read his shipping details, or try to actually order, you'd realize there are no shipping options for the US. Worldwide delivery pertains to Canada and Europe.
Also, I sent the buyer a message about possibly shipping to the US and he never got back to me =\ Hopefully if more people ask him about it, he'll make it an option.

I wish there was a metal (or partial metal, so as to not interfere with the reception) back plate, but this is certainly a step in the right direction. I love how thin the Vibrant is, I don't want to add a case to it.

Powerskin- external battery case

Anyone notice these yet? It's suppose to be coming soon for the thunderbolt. If you dive deeper into their page, there's a question about use with a phone that has a kickstand. Notice that rather than showing the evo 4g (the case is available already for it), they show a thunderbolt. So i'm hoping this comes soon.

how much thickness does this kind of case add?
according to this site, the case comes out 5/25
http://www.jacksmacker.com/powerskin-thunderbolt-p-376068.html
I emailed the company this saturday asking them release date. no reply yet, which is understood.
but I also asked if the evo 4g was going to work with our as well. all i videos i see is the thunderbolt using the EVO 4g model
really weird and hopefully it comes out sooner than later
Update
they emailed me back
"We apologize for the confusion, you are correct the image on our website is incorrect. But the good news is that the HTC Thunderbolt will be available by the end of June. As for the YouTube video we were just showing how to use the kickstand. Please be sure to add your name to our mailing list so that you are the first to be notified with the Thunderbolt is released.

Can you please post the item # or some distinguishing part # of your igrip traveler so I can try to purchase it through a different company? Is it T1-1203?
Thanks
if you cant find the igrip try arkon mounts, they are very good and is similiar the the igrip in looks and price. i have one that i bought for my tilt 2 and it still works great although i did move to the clingo which is a little more low profile.
LOL @ "draconian rules"
Ok, I changed the title, and posted the id number of the mount. (1713395) also, the sale of $10 off is on until the 29th of Feb. FYI. But the employee pricing is likely over at this point. sorry. Hope some people managed to get it.

These look similar to cheaper eBay universal mounts. Better, same or worse?
I picked one up at the store where I work. The round thing that holds the vzw car dock together also fits in this thing. Pain in the butt to disassemble the igrip, though. Have to saw or use a pair of pliers to break the neck of it...long story short, my hands are killing me, but I have that nifty igrip mount on the Samsung/VZW dock's neck.

Hoping I'm OK and that I got in fast enough; the site still shows "100+" in stock, and my Paypal payment shows "completed". The order page just says "Your order will be processed soon. Our order processing team work 8am - 6pm weekdays." though, and it isn't clear what time zones that's for. (My order was charged by Paypal well before 6pm Central, and other things on the site mostly seem to reference Central time.)

It didn't say that earlier. My guess is they've sold out of their first 100+ units already, and don't expect to receive another shipment for four days.
It still said "100+" a full hour and a half after my order was placed, which was when I last checked, but they were out of stock an hour later apparently.

Wow. That is just unreal. I'm surprised your system will even accept an order of that volume without requiring an override of some kind; that'd be getting on for US$70,000 per order!
On the plus side, this presumably means my own order must've been received while it was still in stock. You said they're supposed to ship tomorrow, and I got two-day shipping, so that means a phone by the weekend. Woo hoo!!! :-D

I should later today have some mifare access control cards and tags these normally have larger capacity
If they work of I may make some available. These normally have much more memory on them between 1 and 4meg

here's the apk:

Depends on what you order from them, I just got 10 white discs (stickers) that are capable of having anything written to them, even complex tasks for 65p a tag.
So I like that you can put the sticker/dot on your car dock and it automatically enables bluetooth, sets landscape mode, turns on Pandora or whatever else you program it to do automatically.
But... it sounds like when you remove the phone, it doesn't automatically go back to what the previous settings were. That's too bad.
The tag acts like a set of programming instructions. If you want it to go back to "normal" mode once you leave the car, you can create another tag for those instructions and 'tap' it once you leave the car.
