The galaxy nexus extended battery (2100mah) fits the SGS2 however you won't be able to use the battery door. I have a cover case that still fits without the battery door.
Just wanted to let you guys know that Verizon is having a 50% off deal on the extended battery ($50 retail; $27 total including taxes). Great deal IMO considering that this is from Samsung and not a 3rd party brand.
I just got mine at the Verizon store and charging it now. Will condition a bit and post back with updates and pictures. Feel free to ask any questions.
i thought that deal end already??

I thought so too so I called before going to local stores. Most stores around my area were sold out however the ones that still had them still honored the 50% discount. Best to call and check before going.
...what battery door fits this then?

Unfortunately I don't think there is one however if you have a protective case it will fit fine without the battery cover.
deleted, didn't realize it was to use the nexus battery for the sgsII.. ignore.

Well this is for the T989 since the extended battery placement fits.

FYI , I wrote Mugen Power about making a high capacity extended battery for our Tmobile SGSii T989 and they wrote back and said it would release before Christmas. Im planing on getting one and will update the OP with a review when they release.
thats the same person i talk to and he/she says it be release in november...well its december..
That would be sweet. Battery life is already great on this phone given how it is on so many other android phones. I bet I could easily go 2 days without charging with a better battery!
A little FYI about Mugen Batteries. Check this out.
i had mugen on my G2 and it was good! and i am a power user, i can drain it in 12 hours, i use wifi hot spot alot but nonetheless it is worth it.

That's interesting, but what if the battery on the left was a 1800mAh battery, that would make it a 3000 mAh battery. I don't know what to think about the picture but I have used Mugen batteries before with good results.

that's the reason why i've never purchased their batteries,
it's great an all, they even include the battery door cover, but.....
there are no cases that fit!!!!!! when you use them, so that's a big no no for me

Probably not the most convenient but I stick with OEM batteries, they're cheap enuf on ebay and having 2 batteries works just fine. Also the cases fit fine along with the OEM car dock. OEM might be more expensive, but it's the real deal
I think AllGamer has stated this in a different thread already much better than me
The inability to fit a case with these extended batteries prompted me to import a T-Moble PowerSkin, at 70.99 USD after a 20% discount this thing should have came with a bj or something.
It doubles the thickness, i am not sure how i feel about the quality of it yet, it feels good to the touch but it doesn't feel like it fits the device tightly, and to transfer files via usb you have to remove the case because they did not enable usb pass-through from the case charging port to the port that connects the case to your phone. The thickness i can deal with i knew it was coming, i like the idea it was a case too, but it kind of feels like it fits like ****. like its been stretched out by taking it on and off multiple times.
Not that i can bother returning it, i'll just have to eat it. Shipping it back would cost half the price of the case, put in the value of my time to complain to them and im sure at least 2 emails/calls. What can yah do.
Can you post a link for where you ordered the powerskin from and post some pics?

They're customer service is actually very good. I emailed them about a blackfriday code 2 days after I made my order and they refunded me 15%.. today I emailed about not receiving the case and they sent me a replacement for free and said that if both cases come, I'm welcome to keep both
EDIT - Idk how I managed to post in the wrong thread lol.. I was looking at many case threads at the same time and I thought I was in the diztronic one when I posted this. my bad
anyone know where to get this case for the galaxy nexus? here's the manufacture website but i dont think you can buy directly from them.

yup this is an alternative to those 3500mah extended batteries. the only thing i would like to know about the case is if it as an on/off switch, i can see it killing the stock battery cycles if left on all the time.

It should be similar to other packs of similar purpose. It will constant charge the internal battery until depleted then the internal battery own power kicks. So in phone usage, you'd probably see 100% charged until the pack is depleted.
This is very interesting, also looks like it has the ringke slim case silhoutte that covers the top and button but leaves the sides exposed, i wonder how much bulk it will add to the back side, hope to see a review soon, was gonna buy the ringke slim but i guess I'll wait a few days...

verizon/sprint tester
anyone buy this that has the LTE version? a Verizon or Sprint variant? i want to know if it fits and the overall profile on the phone. looks interesting!
Hi.
Has anyone tried to put this set to any case?
I do not like to wear the phone in pocket, should need something with Belt Clip and wonder if this kit would come to OtterBox Defender, PureGear Hard Shell Holster or any other case.
And by the way I ask because I do not see in the description.
Is the power pack will fit together with the extended battery 2000 mAh or just the stock 1750 mah?
I found a external battery cover on DX
What do you guys think?
I seriously doubt its 3200mAh, but if it comes close it would be awesome
It also doesn't seem to be too bulky, and it doesn't look too bad
Alternatively, do you guys know of any other similar products?
I like the thought of not having to permanently have a thicker phone, only when I need the extra juice.
if that has 3200mah capacity ill eat my hat!

then just get another stock battery and keep it in your wallet - thats what i do!
Sounds pretty nice to me.
How about u order it and tell us, if it's good or not
i guess it has 1000mAh
so in tottal of your 2500 battery total is 3500mAh
still an extra 1000mAh with cover/protector does worth 25$
So its 3200 in addition to the stock 2500, looks thinner thank mugen 5400 and looks like it has a kickstand too.
just do what i did... i got a pair of anker 2500mah batterys so i have 3 right now... just swap them, a "total" of 7500mah
Hi all,
I have just brought a galaxy nexus and wondered what accessories people recommend?
I'm mainly looking for a case for protection and screen protectors.
Had a look round but hard to tell what fit quality gonna be like so thought would ask the people in the know
Also are the earphones decent enough?
Cheers

If you have the GSM version I recommend the OEM Extended Battery and the CaseMate POP case.
You can find the battery at:
Expansy's
or
NegriElectronics
You can find the case in white at Sprint stores and they fit with the extended battery installed
Buy the extended off eBay. Its OEM and cheaper

I remember the casemate having design flaws like a missing hole for the secondary microphone and the charging port being too small. Still true?

Both issues have been fixed. They added the noise cancellation hole and made the charging port opening bigger a while back.

Well, the ones from Expansys and Negrielectronics are OEM as well and the cheapest ones on Ebay were only a couple dollars cheaper than Expansys.
Also, the ones on Ebay are all overseas, meaning they could take anywhere between 2-3 weeks to ship.
Zagg invisishield. Its the best screen protector out there. It comes with a lifetime warranty and they'll put it on for you at BB.

I use spare batteries like the stock one instead of the extended batt. (Didn't like the feel with the extended and I hate being tethered to a power socket to charge, so I need at least 2 batteries anyway).
Grabbed 2 spare batteries and a battery charger on e-bay for $10, now I never charge my phone via cable and haven't yet had my phone die on me without a fully charged spare ready.
I went with the Ultra Hybrid SGP Case in black. It's got a thin profile but is strong too, has all the right holes (except pogo pin holes), fits really well and feels good in the hand. Despite many accidental drops there's no damage on phone or case. I like the lip on the screen side and the way the buttons stick out a bit making them a little easier to press, I believe there's a review somewhere around here.
Still looking for a good screen protector, just using a crap one I got for free atm.
Is the battery performance that bad? (After initial playing wouldn't say I am going to be a power user)
How much extra will extended battery give me?
Thanks everyone for comments so far

For a case I use CruzerLite. If you like a wet applied screen protector Ghost Armor, dry I use the 3 pack clear ones from Verizon.
I'm waiting for mine...
Do I really need a screen protector? Is the screen easily scratched? I am thinking about getting a sleeve, instead of a screen protector and case. I missed the old days with G1's pouch, needless to say.
Definitely a case, and screen protector. Like all devices, you have a chance of making it fall or something.

How do I make sure I get the updated version of the case, and not the older one?
I would say screen protector is a must since the gnex has no gorilla glass and scratches easily. Other than that a case is recommended but i leave my nexus without a case at most the battery cover falls out it's no big deal. But if you are careless a case would be good
oh and the extended battery from Samsung since the screen takes up a lot of batt if you are a heavy user
the diztronic case is good and the SGP screen protectors. Certain cases don't support extended batt though but the Diztronic does

No one should be carrying the "old" version any more, CaseMate recalled all of them. Just make sure you buy from a reputable seller, or directly from CaseMate themselves. You can also check to make sure wherever you get it that they updated their product images to show that the "cancellation mic" opening is visible.

which ext batteries fit this criteria?
which ext batteries out there either fit into the stock back door or will fit into a Trident Kraken case with a different backdoor?
i'm thinking the biggest i could go is 2100 mAh.
None. Generic extended batteries are inferior to the stock one and anything larger requires a larger back.

I have one, but can't give much feedback, because I bought it right away when I bought the phone and I'm always docked when possible (at work and at home).
But the brand has good reputation and NFC works and zero problems since I bought it, a few months ago. No need for new battery cover. But not compatible with Verizon version.
So I can't post links because (joined but avid stalker) and I bought Anker 2x2200 mAh and it works with my stock door. When I get past ten I'll update the post.
