Anyone seen this? I love the Verizon holster case but would also love the extended battery..
I read most cases fit with the extended battery however this one is one of the few that does not fit..

This is true I tried it at the store. Most disappointing.
The Verizon Shell & Holster Case is what he is talking about:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=12928&accessoryId=49886
The Verizon Store rep told me it would work with the extended battery and put it on the phone for me. When I got home I noticed that it does not fit correctly. The bottom of the phone sticks out further than the shell, so when you holster it, the phone itself will rub on the holster at the bottom. Not good. I'm returning mine.

Thats the only one I found as well. Was hoping to find a TPU one.
There was one custom one floating around which I saw on ebay, but i read that it covers the front camera, and some people had problems pressing the buttons.

I have a silicon case that I am planning to make two cuts in with a razor which will fit over the extended battery. If only I ever used my extended battery...
The seidio big rugged yada yada yada case works with the chinese extended batteries you just leave the back off your phone. The camera is exposed but its always exposed and the case sits close enough that the battery doesn't fall out.

P.s. its not really called the yada yada yada I just don't remember its exact name. It comes in four pieces: back, skin, part that snaps over/around skin, and holster. I know thats a lot of technical terms but it gives you the idea.

I just bought this yesterday and seemed to be the best price for what you get. The only thing is that they shipped the 80 something cents screen protectors first WTF. I wanted the 80 something dollars worth of cases first. lol Still feel good about this investment.
You can modify the ballistic hc to fit the extended batteries, theres a thread around here somewhere.

I modified the Ballist HC but its a lot of work and you risk damaging it. Also I have the Seidio ext rugged and like it. Its built better than the standard rugged and I don't have a problem using the notifications menu bar like I do with the Ballistic. I don't care for the Seidio holster though. Rick
I modified my ballistic as well but the sanding and grinding was more complicated than I thought so I just cut a hole in the back to fit the battery door and I can use my stock kickstand and it looks good with the silicon/ rubber case on top of it. I prefer the seidio locking clip to the ballistic, it gives me more security when I lock the phone in it, I wish the ballist had this.

My issue with the seidio holster is if you have a jacket etc. on it gets caught on the top clip of the holster. Hey there's another reason to move to a warm climate, ha-ha
P.S. good idea with cutting through the back, that would allow me to use the 3500 battery instead of the sprint 2600
which cases fit the phone with extended battery? i tried a couple at verizon and they didn't fit very well

Hey,
Just a heads up for anyone using the casemate cover for their GNex and thinking of buying the 2000Mah battery(GSM) The case no longer fits my phone properly.
When the cover is on it constantly raises the volume and presses the power button on and off. I have tried to bend the case, tweak it etc and nothing works.
I don't particularly care as the battery is awesome but just a heads of for anyone thinking of a similar set up.
Can you clarify which case mate case this is?
Thanks!

I didnt understand that....what do you mean?
It certainly doesn't look like the barely there. It is a tough case, it is a two piece.
What he's saying is that, try the case without a battery cover on.
I personally had the tough case and went to the otterbox commute. I liked the tough case, never tried it with extended battery though.

Try the case without the battery cover on? Do you recommend having a Galaxy Nexus with no battery cover and wedged into the casemate? Nuts!
The issue is with the volume buttons and the power button. Because the extended battery comes with a different back cover it pushes the phones buttons into a different position and as such they don't fit properly into the casemate's guides.
EDIT- Just out of curiosity I tried this without the back cover and it still doesn't work eventhough the thoughts of not having the back cover on a mobile phone baffles me.

Some people have put their phones without the battery door on. Not sure if Tough Case even works with Extended Battery at all since I haven't heard of anything about it. It most likely doesn't.
Check the stickied thread and it shows a list of cases that are compatible. I switched from Tough Case to Otterbox Commuter and it fits fine. The bottom part of the case kind of sticks out but it's not a deal breaker.
EDIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20581041&postcount=2 thats the post, I know it says LTE but it should be doable.
Ok ,so there is only one option on the Otterbox website.Does it fit both the GSM and CDMA Nexus or is it only for one device?
According to the model numbers on the cases one is designed for the GSM version and a separate is for CDMA. That being said, be wary with the otterbox defender as it has been reported to actually scratch that phone as the phone sits in the plastic shell and does have a tiny amount of room for movement.

Yup.
I noticed this instantly, mostly when plugging/unplugging the charger. Installed the oem extended battery and now it doesnt move. As well dirt/lint always managed to get in the otterbox and bugged the hell out of me when is stayed in the screen, added a zagg protector and it doesnt do that, kept the otterbox screen protector too.
I have the gsm version as well. I added a couple small strips of microfiber on the inside of the defender and installed a zagg screen protector. I also removed the OEM otter box screen protector. The setup works very nicely. No movement at all.

As far as I know, there isn't one. Last month Otterbox customer service confirmed to me via email that their Defender case for the Galaxy Nexus was designed for the Verizon version.
If there is a GSM version, I'd love to know about it.

I bought this one from amazon and its the otterbox defender series,I have a sprint nexus. I have had no movement with my phone in the case it fits snuggly in there. I looked at ottbox.com and it was 50 bucks. While I do like the case and would pay that much, Its half the price on amazon.

Lol,I ordered mine from the same seller!Great to know there aren't any problems with it. Update:Just found out that the Sprint & Verizon stock batteries are 1850 mAh vs the GSM version @ 1750 mah.Shouldn't be much of a difference.
I decided to get the Kraken case instead. Its good so far and has no fitment issues with my GSM Galaxy Nexus.
Just received my Defender and I love this thing! Some of you were saying that the phone moves slightly but mine doesn't. Anyways, I'm not complaining. Thank you all for your help and advice

Just bought the purple version for my wife's phone. She beats the hell out of her phone so I figured the Defender would be the best choice. I'm really hoping there's no movement inside the case.

My phone is the Verizon Galaxy Nexus i515 and I've had the red Seidio cover for a long time. It came with a clip holster but the clip broke after 2 days. Got another holster and it broke again in 6 days. This was just from slight/small snags.
Basically I'm looking for something that can hold up against small snags. Also has all 3 combo (good rubber case/kickstand/clip holster).
This is something I'm looking for... only downside to this one is it doesn't come with a clip holsters. There's no indication, even on "what else user's bought after buying this", whether any clip holster will fit this particular brand. Link below...

I like the thickness of it and how it has small covers for the USB port and headphone jack. It also has the kickstand.
Does anybody have this particular one and have a clip holster with it? If you do, which one fits with this brand? If not, is there anything exactly like the link above with all 3 combo?
You could try the Trident Kraken A.M.S. case. It comes with a belt clip. Its around $20 on Amazon.

Probably not. These are for stock only. I think I saw a Seidio case awhile back that had options to accommodate a bigger battery door. Seidio and Trident are my 2 preferred cases but I've never looked into one for bigger batteries cause I've never had an extended battery before.
You could type stuff like Trident Kraken case for extended battery. Same with Seidio.

The Kraken case is really good. Its encasing my Gnex right now. Provides ultimate protection and with military grade screen protector. Only issue with it
Is that its a pain in the arse to take apart when I have to do battery pulls sometime when flashing ROMs. I have no complaint about the rest of it.

I think with a better wording for what you're looking for is making it harder to find one. I know some products require specific wording in the search in order for it to show up. I was hoping that link would get you somewhere. I'll help you look for something when I get home from work.
You could also start a thread, if you haven't yet, and see if anyone bought what you're looking for and can point you to where they got it from.
Are you looking for a similar combo like mine (kickstand, holster, hard/rubber casing)?
