Verizon High Gloss Case for the extended battery

I don't have a picture yet but the case in the link below will be offered by Verizon online and retail stores soon. I was able to talk to someone in customer service that said the extended case was in the equipment guide for the Thunderbolt but stock wasn't available yet for it. Just a heads up for everyone. I'll post a link for the stock battery case so you can get an idea of what I am talking about. She said it looks like black is the only color for now.

Again the link above is for the stock battery but Verizon will have one for the Extended battery very soon.

i bought a silicone case once, but found they attract every speck of dust and lint in my pocket. plastic cases dont seem to have this problem

This is a mix of both like a tpu material

So I guess there's no way of knowing if this has a cutout for the battery door or not? I think it looks tacky as hell with a cutout.

I'll have pictures soon. But the screen shot from in the store has the battery door covered. Should have it Thursday or Friday.

I've been waiting for a case like this to get the extended battery. Now I'm not sure if I'm going to wait and see if some sort of slim extended battery comes out or just get the extended battery that is out now and this case, decisions decisions.

ETA on this if you have one?

4500 mAh!?!

Anybody try this yet?
http://www.wirelessemporium.com/p-1...500-mah-.asp?gclid=CM6m2KWu9LACFSoZQgodSQnAVw

I think it would make the phone way to thick. And hopefully it's a real 4500mah.

No NFC. No buy.

I wouldn't buy this. Beware of third party batteries as they probably don't have NFC and are usually extremely optimistic about the battery capacity.

That's true.. I have 2 extended batteries seidio and mugen and no cases for them. So... my bezels are already damaged
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

I have the one with the NFC built in and I have had no issues with it. I am typically a pretty have yet and I can go about 12 hours and be sheen anywhere between 30 to 25% before I charge it for the night. Now mind you that's with the screen on 100% brightness and no less than 3 hours of screen time being on....

Yeah u would think with how popular this phone is/was they would have came out with case to fit over all the different batteries or at least the most popular ones.

Cheap extended battery from eBay

So I got bored and picked up a cheap 3800mah battery of eBay for around $10. I wanted to get the laza one with nfc but it isn't available in Canada. Once been running the cheapie for a few days now. I no longer have to charge at work and after 9 hours of light use on the weekend I am down less than one quarter.
Biggest downside is the supplied back doors not quite fit right.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

Just an update. Battery life is consistently good. I leave work without charging at around 50%. Previously if I didn't charge while at work I would be down to 10-15%. I can play a hell of a lot of minecraft these days days. The issues with the back turned out to be from some plastic flashing. I cleaned up the edge and it sits snugger than the original back. Not bad for under$10

Extended OEM battery for the T-mobile Galaxy Nexus works great on our phone in the original case too! NFC capable.

Oh I can defiantly agree with that statement with an astrix, the old back does fit but it takes some force to get it to stay completely sealed and after about 6mo I had to replace the back of the device because the clips that held it on no longer worked properly just an FYI.....

Just bought this battery. I've been using it about 3 days and followed battery calibration instructions. So far I'm really not that impressed by it. I've heard with extended batteries it takes a few days to settle in...

So I hope yesterday was an indication as to how this battery will perform long term. We'll see.

Has anyone found a protective cover that will fit the new case for the bigger battery. I always like to protect the phone just in case it is dropped!

I saw those but it didn't say whether you needed a new backplate.
Do they fit under the stock plate? Or do you need a extended plate?

Can you charge them in the phone or do you have to use the charger they provide with the batteries?

just a standard replacement battery
Does anyone know where i can get just a regular battery like the one that comes with the phone? it just runs out of battery quite quickly dont necessarily need a extended battery maybe if i had the cash.
