Does anyone know of a battery case for the Galaxy Nexus (GSM) with a kickstand that will accommodate the extended 2000 mAh battery? I've seen a couple of cases, but I prefer my Nex naked (or as close to it as I can get) but I'd love to get something with a kickstand for horizontal viewing.

The Verizon shell/holster case fits the battery, but you have to remove the battery door if you'd like a perfect fit.

Anyone know which cases are confirmed to fit the extended battery?
Otterbox Defender series works great one mine.
Are there any cases that don't double the bulk of the phone that will fit correctly? Maybe a TPU case?
I got the Incipio Sycrillic case with mine. The extended battery doesn't really add that much bulk so the case still fits.
How much longer would the battery last? About double or so I would guess?
The extended battery is 2100 mAh, so it should give about 25% - 30% more usage time. The battery adds hardly any bulk to the device. It fits with the Otterbox Defender series (a tight fit but it works), any silicone case, and the Incipio Double Cover that Verizon sells. It does not fit with Verizon's Shell Holster Combo (with the kick stand).

25%-30%?
I think it's more like 13-14%%
25% of 1850mAH is 462mAH (so 2312mAH total) and this is only 2100mAH...
Supposedly the TPU cases still work on this.
I'm looking for one of those barely-there TPU cases for the GN. It's too thin and the extended battery doesn't even thicken it up, plus its slippery.
ebay
im pretty sure ebay will have them for like 5 or 6 dollars.. thats where i normally get my external wall chargers from they get the job done

How do you like the Incipio Case? Does it add alot of bulk? Does it add alot of weight?

Barely there is by Casemate, TPU is a company now named Ditztronic. Or, does Casemate Barely There use TPU (the material) as a case.
I read a review about the Barely There that siad it doesn't actually cover the whole phone, so if you drop it on the bottom, there is no protection. That was deal breaker.
What about the commuter series? My defender is too bulky
This sucks... one major reason for buying the phone was due to it's lightweight thin build.. and I can't really seem to find a case that leaves the phone thin and light..
I really like the Verizon shell/holster combo but it doesn't fit the extended battery
May have to risk going naked

Fuhhh.. are you serious? I ordered the extended battery hoping that it would fit the shell/holster set. I like it because it's simple and has a kickstand that I want to use. So the shell doesn't snap onto the gnex?
Correct.. just barely doesn't fit. That's exactly why I like it.. not too thick and it has the kickstand if I need it

Thanks.. i guess i'll sell this and find another case..
I like the trident cases personally. I know that they are going to be releasing one mid january, but do you guys think that with the extended it will fit?
So the incipio feather case wont fit with the extended battery? I had imagined the 1-2mm would make it a tighter fit but the impact would be negligible - can someone confirm that with the extended battery it indeed wont fit?
CaseMate barely there fits fine with the extended battery. The incipio silicrylic fits, but has a slight gap at the sides where the hard plastic fits over the silicone.

Why don't you get a skin? They're tricky to put on and really only offer scratch protection, but probably better than nothing.
I've been looking around for the last little while for a nice kickstand case for this phone. Preferably one that will fit the 2000mAh extended battery + cover I have coming for my GSM Galaxy Nexus.
The only two I've found are the VZW holster + case combo, and the Seidio Active case with kickstand. Both of these look seriously bulky.
Has anyone found anything closer to the slim TPU cases but with a kickstand? I see them in stores for the Galaxy S2 all the time, but never for our Galaxy Nexus.
ebay! Silicon hybrids do a job and are about £2.50.
A link would be great if you could provide. I've been on Ebay for hours in the past few weeks looking for one.

I went with the VzW case and have the extended battery without the battery door. Really helps dissipate the heat and if my phone ever gets stuck it is easy to remove the battery. I have dropped it a few times and the phone still doesn't have a scratch on it. Love having the ability to put the phone in landscape or portrait.

What battery and case did you get? I was thinking of doing the same thing and wasn't sure if it would work.

I have the Seido Active Case with kickstand. It does add some bulk, but as someone who takes public transit regularly I was uncomfortable holding my Nexus without a case since it felt like it'd slip upon any jarring movement. The rubber part of the case does catch on my jeans sometimes (I don't wear baggy jeans), but other than that I've been really happy with the case. The kickstand is truly awesome; I have a Tasker setting to enable screen rotation when connected to work wifi, so it just sits in front of me in landscape.
I also have the 2000mAh extended battery, and it fits fine.
I don't know of any alternatives though, I liked the protection of the Seido and didn't look further.
Welcome.
At the beginning I wanted to apologize for my bad English .
But to the point ....
I wanted to buy plus a 3800 mAh battery for my Galaxy Nexus (GSM), but I have a problem with the selection of the cover.
All cases do not provide for the use of such a large battery.
Only Seidio has to offer such cases, but they are quite expensive.
And here I wanted to advise you - do you know of any other inventions that could hold the battery?
I mean mostly about something that can be clipped to a belt and I would prefer if it was not the case rather holster.
Thanks in advance for your help!
been looking for the same man, only thing i've been able to find is this
you can type in Black Trexcell Samsung Galaxy Nexus Extended Battery Thermoplastic TPU Case on ebay.
nothing with a belt clip yet
Thank you.
I saw this cover.
I was wondering to buy a 3800 battery, cover case from Traxcell, and buy the Seidio holster.
Thanks to always save a little, but I'm not 100% sure that these parts will fit together.
Anyone have this case http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-products/samsung-galaxy-nexus/aegis-case-samsung-galaxy-nexus.aspx and/or know if it will fit a 3800 mAh extended battery. I know the seidio cases work fine but I love trident cases and want to use an extended battery.
Thanks
I have this case and it fits my Sprint gnex with 2100mah extended battery well but I don't think it could fit anything much thicker than that.

The Seidio extended Convert Combo works quite well with the GNex and a3800 mah battery (I have the Hyperion).
... beamed from my Nexus 10 to your planet
I used that case on my evo 3d. It was nice, but the hard plastic outer shell was kind of slippery. I had to scuff it with some sand paper, to give it some grip. It was also a pain to put on. Since the n4 doesn't have a removable battery/storage, you won't need to take it on/off much, so it should be a good case.
Edit : I thought I was in the n4 forum when I posted this... I don't think I would get this case for any phone with a removable back plate

i have seen extended batteries that were the same size as the stock battery. they didnt require an extended cover or case. are there any for the verizon galaxy nexus. i have an otterbox defender so as long as i can still use it. unless there is a better battery & case combo i should use instead. i would like a very long lasting battery like the 3800 ones but only with a good case too.
No 3800mah battery will fit in the same profile as the original.
ya i know the 3800mah ones wont be the same size, but are there any cases for a nexus that has a 3800mah battery. what is the highest mah i can get thats the same size.
The best batteries will always be OEM batteries since they are usually the highest quality. The 2100mah Samsung extended battery is virtually identical but with it's own (non curved) battery cover but is otherwise identical.
okay so i can get a 2100mah and still use my otterbox case. if i get a battery thats bigger are there any good cases for a nexus with an extended battery.
If you want a big battery and a nice case, look at seidio products. They make a 3800 mAh and a few cases for it. I think the convert would be the closest to an otterbox case.

Verizon has a 2100mAh. It can work with most cases except the slim fit cases.
Although Ringke Slim makes one for the Verizon Extended battery.
