[Q] VZW Extended battery W/ This case - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=65434
Does anyone know from experience if the VZW extended battery and cover will work with the case listed in the link above
Thanks

Look in the accessories forum. There is a case wiki thread that lists several.

Probably not. Those hard shell cases are usually a tight fit anyway. You can however use the standard battery cover with the extended battery (although a tight fit) it will make some cases fit better but you normally will still have a gap at the bottom (small).
You can also run without a back battery cover. This typically will allow most standard cases to fit perfectly. So you have some options, but I doubt it will work with the extended battery + extended door.

It will work without the back cover, I think I read that on one of the reviews for the case on VZ's site.

What case for extended battery?

Anybody know where you can get a case that fits over a Universal with an extended battery?
I've searched the forum and only seem to see people using cases from their old PDAs, not a purpose built case.
I quite like the standard slip on cover. It's got elasticated sides and looks like it may stretch over an extended battery but may not return to normal once I'm using the standard battery again.
Any ideas?

Question about stock 2000mAh extended battery and back cover

I'm deciding whether to order this stock 2000mAh battery and back cover: http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-extended-battery-and-cover-for-gsm-galaxy-nexus-226962/
For those who has it, I would like to know:
-With the new back cover, can it still fit with regular cases?
-Would the regular 1750mAh battery rattle inside the new back cover?
Thanks.
I dont have that battery, but for your last question you could just put a soft "dice" or what I should call it between the battery and your casing.

I have this battery and the cases i've tried, which are all tpu cases, work well. I'm not so sure with hard cases though as there is no flex.
I have ordered this from Expansys thinking I would get it faster (ie. from USA) Not! When ordering it says "usually ships in 5 days".... checking status later it was 8 days, and now 11. I could row a boat from Korea faster. As for the OP, the reason I went with this OEM battery was I read in several places you could still use the original battery cover. This was important to me, because the Otterbox Commuter won't fit the extended cover without cutting.

Is it the door or the extended battery itself that causes fitting issues?

Like with the battery door off my VZW my phone fits into the standard holster/shell combo.
Do most of the fitting issues for the device come from the door then when it's on? The battery size isn't all that much bigger than the std one.

Not sure I fully understand what you are asking but I'll give it a shot.
So there is the standard 1850mAh battery with a standard door (battery cover?) that comes with the Verizon Nexus. Then there is the 2100mAh extended battery that is just under a millimeter thicker than the 1850. The extended battery comes with a different battery cover that is more rounded, especially towards the bottom, to allow room for the extended battery. Being more rounded at the bottom is what I believe causes problems with the phone not fitting properly into certain docks/holsters and what not.
The standard battery cover has the slight lip at the bottom which is what most cases and things are molded to, and this lip is quite a bit different when compared to the contour of the extended battery cover, hence you have problems with cases not fitting. So I think the extended battery cover is more to blame than the extended battery itself. It seems like they made the cover more rounded than it needs to be, because like you said, the extended battery is not that much bigger at.
Yes it's the door. The prongs are longer and the door sits out farther ever so slightly. Most cases can be manually bent slightly at the center to give them a curve that fits the new back. Do so carefully though. Better to bend slightly a bit at a time than to try to force it.

Cases and Extended Battery

I've had my phone in its Otterbox since July. Now, the case is worn. I have no reason why, but the edges have loosned a lot. The phone now falls out of the rubber grip.
So, I need a new case. However, I was also wanting to pick up an extended battery. Problem is, they all require a different back cover. I do want a protective case, but I also want to pick up an extended battery. Any battery/case recommendations?

If you're going to get the official Samsung Extended Battery, I'm not aware of anything that is specifically made for that yet. However, you can get both a case and extended battery from Seidio (http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-s/8156.htm).
This question might be better asked in the Accessories forum. The accessories forum has all 4 Galaxy S 3 forums in it (Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile), so it's a bigger audience to find it for you.

Stock back cover with official extended battery

Hey all,
I got a back cover today(http://goo.gl/pJkxk) that fits with the stock battery. However, I've been having issues with battery life, so I'm looking into getting the official 2100 mAh extended battery, but I'm loathe to give up my shiny, Google-y case. Would there be any chance that the case would still clip on with the extended battery?
Thanks!
The stock battery cover won't fit with the extended battery (2100 mAh). The extended battery needs the extra room at the bottom where the stock cover tucks into the phone.
Edit: How does that cover look and feel? I've been debating on ordering it for quite a while, but I haven't been able to bring myself to order it haha.
I swear I have the stock cover with the 2100mah battery and the cover fits perfect. It's completely flush. I bought the phone used so maybe it isn't stock? I'll post pics tomorrow.
edit: what i thought was a duplicate battery cover that came with my phone is actually the standard cover... ive been using the extended cover and didnt even know it. the difference is so tiny, all i can see is a tiny spot where the stock one dips down, the extended one doesnt.
I just tried it with my standard battery cover and it did fit, but I wasn't comfortable with how the cover was bent from pressing against the battery. Technically it does fit, but I'm not sure if it would have any adverse effects on the phone. I suppose YMMV
My OEM cover fit with my Samsung 2100mah, it does "bulge" a bit, but it fits.
