Anyone can confirm if All Verizon Galaxy Nexus accessories are compatible with Sprint Galaxy Nexus?
They look like the same phone

agreed & hopeful, as i just ordered some screen protectors and cases.
all the accessories will work, but they are all ****. Wait till you can use the 3 prongs, as far as cases and **** yeah they work.
has anyone tried the Verizon extended battery on the Sprint model? It doesn't work on the GSM so might not work on the Sprint either.

my opinion is that gsm is a smaller model, verizon and sprint are cdma/lte/fatter model. i imagine everything should fit....

The Verizon extended battery cover does not fit the sprint galaxy nexus. I went to a Verizon store to see if it would, and the cover tabs do not align properly. You might be able to grind the one tab that is misaligned, but the cover wouldn't fit as snug. The battery looks like it fits, has nfc and the same electrical specs, but the part number is not the same for the 1850 mAh stock size.

Thanks, was just about to pull the trigger on one. Shame, I really want the 2100 mAh battery.
Sucks was hoping that the verizon battery will work on sprint. Guess have to wait then
So even though the Sprint and Verzion websites list slightly different sizes I would be fine getting this case? http://www.shopandroid.com/seidio-active-case-with-kickstand/4A54A9572.htm

The LTE Extended battery does NOT fit. As a previous poster said, the tabs on the back cover are different. Also, the cover is lighter in color. The sprint galaxy nexus is a dark titanium, where as the Verizon is a lighter titanium color. So we just have to wait for sprint to release there own version, if they ever do
As for the cases, those should all fit fine. I have the Rinke *sp* and that fits good. it snaps in perfectly, but since there is room for the extended battery, the lower back half has a little flex if pressed on.
I also have the incipio NGP and double cover, both fit perfectly
I just went to Verizon and got the car dock. Works and fits perfect..
Verizon accesories
My preordered phone arrived on Friday. I rushed out that evening to find a screen protector and case. I found the ZAGG screen protector at Best Buy but was disappointed with the case that they were offering. Luckily a Verizon store was across the street. I was offered 6 different cases. I went with an INCIPIO DOUBLE COVER. Fits like a glove.
Extended Battery
The cover does not fit but if you cut off the two little tabs it does fit. The extended battery does also work. I've been using the regular and the extended since Friday. It also works if you get the seidio extended BT Case Cover or the Ringke Slim Case CDMA version.
It looks better with the case on than the VZ cover. I hope sprints makes an Extended cover.
I hope this helps.
soooo.... pic 1 kinda looks like ass.... is that AFTER cutting the tabs????
i tried this myself in the verizon store it didnt look like it would fit right.
All those pics were taken after cutting the tabs.

Wow. If that's how the VZW back fits around the Sprint CDMA Camera, these two phones are vastly different in size.

I ordered the verizon extended battery and cover and cut the two tabs off, it works fine and does not look like it would come loose. I also ordered the siedo surface case for the Verizon phone with extended battery to hide the ugly verizon logo ;-)

Don't suppose anybody out there would make a battery door that would fit the verizon battery, only instead of having the verizon logo, have the google logo like the GSM?

I don't think so cause it fits the GSM Version perfectly, so there is no room for the extended battery

It will fit, but the lower sides will bow out a bit and thus won't "lip" over. I've not tried it without the door, however.
Just bought the extended battery at Verizon for half off, also walked out with the Incipio double case. This case feels tough and sure can take s beating, great for outdoor work and kids dropping my phone. But this case is a little too thick for my liking.
But on weekends or going out would like a second thinner case. What thin cases fit the extended battery ? Anything like the Feather or Rearth slim fit ?

I just use ghost armor full body, and then I use a belt clip pouch that I drop my phone into. It is the slimmest option, I protect the whole phone from scratches, and I can keep it on my side. I'm not really worried about dropping it, because even with a case if you drop it in the right spot, you will end up with a broken phone. That's what insurance is for. At least that's my opinion. I hope this helps.
I just picked up the Diztronic case below and it fits great and doesn't add much thickness to the phone- nice and thin. I don't have my extended battery yet but per the reviews this case fits, just a little more tightly which is fine with me.

+1 on the Diztronic 3rd revision case. I am running it and I love it. I have 3 other cases and this is now my daily driver. You can even leave the extended battery cover on too. I use the Incopio when I need extra protection.
Also a big +1 on the Diztronic rev 3 case. Full access to all controls, full protection yet thin. Just about perfect as far as cases go and I have tried a few.
Diztronic has very upstanding customer service to boot!

Does anyone know if the big case companies, plan to make official extended battery cases ? Like Case-Mate and their Barely Case ?

I've been bugging Rearth about making their RingKe case to fit the Verizon w/ extended battery. This case has been getting a lot of accolades here...
With the Verizon extended battery going for $24.99, it should just come standard with the phone. At such a cheap price, and only adds like a business card extra thickness it is so worth it. Plus you may get up to 2 extra hours on it over stock.
Point being, with extended battery so popular, I would hope case companies realize this, and pump out cases that are officially designed for it.

I checked their website and it isn't showing the extended battery at all. You can purchase these at their stores for 25.00?

My local Verizon store didn't have any in stock but they ordered it for me w/ free 2-day shipping. Still $24.99
I went into the biggest Verizon store in my area, called first asked if they had the Nexus extended battery, they said YES, and tons of accessories too. Go in there and they said the battery is 50% off, they had like 4 on the shelf. Just call the largest Verizon store in your area, I am sure they stock them.
I am using the phone today with no case, crosses fingers The Incipio 2pc case was just way too bulky for me, felt like a my old EVO 4G which was a giant. Back to caselsss and this phone looks awesome, the gray color makes this phone looks stealth, like something a pilot from F-22 Raptor plane would have in the cockpit I just want a razor thin case to go around this now.
Oddly enough I tried the High gloss silicone Verizon case and its is really nice. feels thin in the hand
I use the SGP capsule case. Its clearly designed for the GSM version because my Verizon + extended battery keeps the lips from grabbing the edges all the way.
But the phone is on there and not going anywhere. You'd have to really look at it to see what I'm talking about.
I'm still waiting for something specifically designed for the Verizon with extended battery.

Hopefully we get some news soon from the big case companies
Does anyone know if the Diztronic case works with the GSM Galaxy Nexus with an extended battery?
The best case I've tried period that also works with the extended battery is the Case-Mate Pop case. It was recalled initially due to a lack of clearance around the micro usb port. In about another two weeks they'll have the second revision out and it will be my daily driver.
I've tried the Case-Mate Tough Case, the Boxwave Active, the Boxwave Slim Rubberized Shell Case, and the Seidio Surface. The Pop case sucked less than the rest and fits the extended battery with good protection and minimal bulk.
can't comment if it's the thinnest, but it fits and looks good.

Hi - could someone advise me which case would fit the Telus Samsung Galaxy S2 X?
I am in the U.S. and bought this phone but need a case.
Would one of the popular ones from Amazon fit?
Thanks!
if you phone the same as t-mobile galaxy s II, look here
Well that's the Issue, I was hoping someone here would be able to tell me if it is the same and same cases apply.

Yes, the same cases for the T-Mobile T989 will fit the T989D for Telus perfectly.
I ordered my Seidio Active Case with Kickstand and Holster from the US and it was specific to the T-Mobile T989 model and it fits perfectly.
The phones are identical, the only difference is the writing on the front of the phone. Mine says Samsung at the top and nothing at the bottom, just the settings, home, back and search buttons. I believe on the T-Mobile model it says T-Mobile at the top and says Samsung at the bottom. Other than that they are the same phone.
If you have doubts you can always walk into a t-mobile store. I'm sure they have a live unit on display you can hold your's up to for comparison.
They are 100% the same
As stated above, the only cosmetic difference is the T989D just says "Samsung" at the top of the screen where the T989 is branded "T-Mobile"

make sure you dont purchase a case for the att skyrocket. its external speaker is on the opposite side.
the skyrocket and t989 can use eachothers roms, radios, but not cases.

Thanks for the feedback, I went with the TPU best selling case for this phone from Amazon to just keep it simple
I'm looking for an extended battery set with cover for the T989D (samsung galaxy S2X)
Of course the market has only sets for the T989 minus the D.
Are you saying that the dimensions of T989 and T989D are similar enough such that the battery cover will interchangeably fit?
PDADB.NET seems to indicate otherwise, as the dimensions indicated are different.

They are physically the same phone. I believe I have a seido (sp?) 3800 ext battery and case if interested. Otherwise, I have a BNIB CDMA Gnex ext battery that will fit with stock cover.. some may need Minor mods. but if using a case then doesnt really matter.

what case do you have working with the T989D with extended battery? (just to clarify, case = full body case, NOT a battery cover).
Hey guys,
So i found my new favorite case!!! the ringke from rearth is sincerely the slimmest of them all..yes yes..the protection it gives is not as good as other cases but if you are a careful fella you wont have an issue at all..the look is legit.
Here you go enjoy

Great review! This case looks perfect. I have the barely there and I'm not liking the fit for the GSM. On the website it says it fits both the GSM and LTE version. Which version do you have?
I went to go order it and it's not on their website.
Edit: Found it. Bummer though.. "However, the case itself is design for the extended battery so when it is use with the standard battery pack the spacing near the battery will vary." =[
Case is slick but the screen protector on that nexus is atrocious. Hopefully the rinkge is a better fit and you apply it properly
I have an XO and wondering how the SP compares.
Ringke also is taking preorders for the Verizon LTE Extended battery model. The original is for the GSM standard battery.

So buy an extended battery - they are cheap if you're gonna spend this much on a case, you can't complain about spending about the same on an extended battery.. I've actually found I like the feel of the phone better with the extended battery.

it is the same version for now...however if you have an lte there might be a very tiny tiny tiny gap..I reccomend you to wait as they are coming with one that will provide a perfect fitment for the lte 2100 battery that way if you plan on extending your battery this case will fit like a glove

im never serious on my screen protectors cause i change them so much when i review them ..but just to let you know its an incipio one that came with one of the case..not the best quality to be honest
Its time for me to change screen protectors hehehe..im waiting for the plus from rearth to review it as well that way i dont rock it naked
yep they will be sending me one for the extended lte one so i can compare side to side , seems that the demand was too big and they pulled the trigger
I just got my galaxy nexus off ebay.
Im on sprint so i have the toro-plus and i am interested in buying a new bumper case and back door cover.
Most of the cases on ebay are for either the gsm model or verizon lte model and people warn thats theres differences.
Does the verizon lte cases fit the sprint model? And back door covers?
or Do Gsm case and back door fit?
OR... Do i have to look up L700 sprint model for both cases and door covers.
Thanks
The Sprint and Verizon models are physically the same size, so any Verizon case will fit.
The GSM model is slightly thinner than the others. It has a different shaped battery and back cover. The batteries and back doors are not compatible with CDMA models.
Cases for the most part have enough give in them to work on either GSM or CDMA models, simply because the differences in the thickness are so small. There may be a few cases that are extremely form-fitting to the device that may not fit properly. Just go with CDMA cases if you're really unsure.
The back plates are incompatible between the Verizon and Sprint model I think... I'd double check that.

Some have been able to squeeze the extended battery in with the stock cover. The OEM extended battery + cover does make it slightly thicker and heavier.
