GoGoStand

With the lack of a kickstands on our Galaxy nexus it has many of us searching for a solution ... there is one kickstand case online but IMHO its an eyesore and does not look durable at all. Which caused me to continue looking, and tis is what I found.
The GoGoStand is portable (same size as a credit card), durable, cheap ($5 from gogostand.com), and has many viewing angles for different uses.
I purchased it expecting nothing but found myself using it all the time. I store it in my tpu phone case and it fits perfectly, even with the extended (2000mah oem) battery.
I highly recommend this to all galaxy nexus users as its extremely useful for an on the go stand with multiple viewing angles.
Btw, this will work with and without cases and also comes in several colors.

Looks interesting. And at that price, it couldn't hurt to try. Gonna buy 3 of them and we'll see how it goes.

i first got one of these when i just got my nexus one. it's pretty reliable and i just leave it in my wallet. i was worried that numerous times you fold it would eventually weaken it, but it's still able to hold my gnex just fine.

i got one of theses a long time ago and it's still in my wallet. doesnt get too much use but when i want it, its there. no problems at all with durability

Have you seen the Seidio Active case? It has a kickstand. We've been discussing it on the case sticky.

But the sides on that case is fugglyyyy... Not sure why they made it that way, indentation for the fingers??

Don't diss it till you try it. It is there for ergonomic purposes and it works very well.

So, do you have to take the phone out everytime you want to use the card?

Yes, I also ordered another one to put into my wallet in case I don't feel like taking the case halfway off. I take my case off at least once a day anyways as I change batteries.
- GSM Galaxy Nexus

just ordered one lol
dont use it often, but will come in handy when needed

Same, thanks to itsjusttim's post I ordered 4 - arrived really quickly and they're great.
Best solution I've seen so far. And the bronze one matches the colour of the GN really well.

nice... here's mine I made using some card from casino.

Are you guys using your phones a ton for video and what not, and that is why you need a stand? I use it for short youtube clips, but even when I had my Evo and Thunderbolt, I never really used the kickstand for media. It was more something to play with when I was bored.

I stream a lot of Youtube and Revision3, but also use it for charging (clock). Useful for music as well using the speaker I can project against a wall or the stand itself instead of just straight up or down.

Mine is my main TV so I really need a stand.

Will Samsung release a bigger extended battery?

What do you think? if so what would be the expected mah?

I'd love them to, but I doubt it :/ If they do however, I will be pre-ordering it straight away

Agreed just got a Nexus and the battery life is half that of my iPhone. My iPhones screen would be at max and the Nexus at the minimum.
If they release a 2500-ish battery I will get it

I don't think they will. Personally, I was disappointed in their decision to use such a small extended battery. I know allot of people don't want to lose the slimness. Those people should stick to the stock battery. I wish it was close to 3000 mah.
I guess Samsung decided more people would buy the battery based on slimness than would not buy because of mah rating.

Well we got the Seidio extended battery. Not exactly Samsung but I had good experience with their batteries. My only complaint about the battery is the back cover. Not a big fan of the color. Should have made it the color of the phone

Samsung wont make a bigger one. they did same thing for the galaxy S2.
Im waiting for the mugen one. I had that on my SG S2 and it was a beast

I hope Samsung or somebody else does. The siedo is huge and kinda ugly. Personally I would like around 2500mah -3000mah depending on how huge it is. Including NFC would be a huge plus too.

What's the seido?

Doubt it as it'd ruin the lines of the phone. The official 2000mah extended battery fits nicely and the cover just makes the phone feel better in the hand

the mugen will have how much battery?

i dont think they would but it would be very nice to see if they do....

Samsung have already officially released an extended battery for the GNex. It is on Amazon for $33.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...SUUG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327052643&sr=8-1

That's the Verizon version, the GSM one can be found on eBay...

All depends on your usage of the phone. It is only an extra 250 mAh, so if you are a heavy user, you may get an hour or two out, medium user a couple of hours and light user a few more!
I find it is easy to carry around a spare cheap eBay battery just in case you need it!

as long as it doesnt look like this:

Novel idea there, although it looks FUGLY!!

I'm not gonna lie. I'm tempted to get the Seidio one since I'm a really heavy user, especially during the night shift with music and such. But idk. I'm thinking about buying an extra extended battery since Verizon still has them for half off or getting the huge Seidio one. I don't use NFC so that doesn't really matter. What do you guys think?
By the way, sorry if I like jacked your thread with this question

Most people are going to tell you use the Samsung because it looks better...personally, looks don't matter to me, so if you feel you need the extra juice the seido is the best option at the moment. The thing keeping me from the seido is NFC and the price. I just went with the samsung. You can buy 2 of them for less than the price of the seido.

Galaxy Note Desktop Dock work with the Nexus?

Found some docks on Amazon for the Galaxy Note and just wondering if anyone else has seen these or if people think they'll work with the Nexus.
This one looks like it charges in portrait and can also hold the phone in landscape, and has a spare battery charger but probably won't work on the Nexus. It's hard to tell if the Nexus would fit this.
This one looks basic enough where the Nexus should fit even with a case.

Ended up buying this one and it came in today. Haven't played with it much but it will work. There is enough spacing for the Nexus even with a case (diztronic). However the plug is a little short and will only fully connect with the case off. Since the platform is flat there isn't the best stability being the Nexus bottom is rounded. I'm gonna try to put a little curve to the platform so I can keep the case on and hopefully give it better stability.

I think its just disgusting that the Galaxy Nexus has been out for almost 4 months now, and the Galaxy Note, which has been out for about a month or two, already has an official Samsung dock as well as multiple third party docks as well. OMFG >.>
EDIT: and the most appalling part is that the Galaxy Nexus literately has pins SPECIFICALLY for a dock, yet the Note still has a dock! LMFAO

Actually, the galaxy note came out in October last year. The nexus was December I think?
So it's had a 2 month head start.

Wouldn't hurt to get a few opinions in the Nexus 4 forums... Granted, I'm sure there's quite a few S4 owners who own or have owned the Nexus 4, but there's definitely a much higher concentration of N4 owners in their own forums and I would think they would have more of a hands-on opinion than most people here...
I'd say go for it though... I was close to buying one when it came out and the only things I didn't like was the lack of SD card expansion, can't get to the battery without disassembling, and I've read that the glass cracks easily.

N5 Lacking Extended Battery Support

Just some general information...
Apparently the Nexus 5, by LG in all their infinite wisdom, decided it best not to be able to access your battery like a normal phone. They're pulling an Apple on us.
So if you were looking for an extended battery, you're out of luck unless you buy a battery that works outside of the phone (by usb or otherwise).

N5 battery back up
Well I would say on behalf of battery back up Google N5 is much better one..as I use net all the time on my phone and also get my self plug in with the music too...but still the battery problem does not create a worry for me...so there is not any battery drainage system with N5 as it occurs generally with the smart phones...so I just love my N5 on behalf of this....

Yea I can understand why apple do that one is because they are apple and they like control. Two is because the iPhone is made of uni-body metal construction with tighter tolerance that feel solid.
As for the nexus 5 or any other plastic android why not just give us a removal back? I understood why for the nexus 4 because the nice glass backing but the nexus 5 is just a plastic piece.
All in all I still would pick the nexus 5 over any other phone. As for now I'll just have a battery pack with me until a good battery case is release.

If you care about stuff like that then don't buy this phone. There is a case for the N5 by iblason that extends the battery if you need one
