Extended battery fit in incipio case?

I have the incipio case on my phone and was wondering if the extended battery fits inside. I have the same case they sell at Verizon.

Yes it will. I'm using the stock battery door with the extended battery in the case right now.

Does it feel like it adds any more thickness? Or just extra weight?

You can barely feel the weight. The door fits very snug but you don't really notice it with the case on.

Careful- from what it sounds like, forcing the stock back back on the extended battery can push the battery into the guts of the phone, and potentially affect the screen itself. I tried it for a heartbeat, but didn't like having to force it back on....
G'luck!

Hardly. Don't listen to this dude. The battery door is flimsy as **** and flexes a hell of a lot more easily then the 'guts' of the phone. It will not affect your screen whatsoever. I am running the Incopio case with the extended battery door but at the same time I used the stock door with the case as well. Either way works, but to you, one may be more favorable than the other. The factory battery door does cause the Incopio case to bulge the slightest bit but to many would be unnoticeable.
Peep the slight differences...

Would you mind putting a picture of the extended battery in incipio case? i want to order the extended but want to run my current case without problem.. how much weight does it add?

With the extended battery the bottom doesnt sit in that well and overlaps the lip, less so with the stock cover but it still doesnt fit that well.

HHmm that might be the deal-breaker. I really want this for only $25 but i NEVER use my smart phones without cases, so i dk if the extended would be worth it if the incipio vzw case doesn't fit right.

I'm looking for a "barely there" type case that would add a little extra grip. I never use cases and for $25... if it ain't perfect I know I'll eventually stop using it.
Any chance we can see the case with the extended battery and extended battery cover on the phone?

[GSM] Any one have the 3500 mAh and cover?

Well I saw it here: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-3500-extended-life-battery-p/bacy35ssgng-gy.htm but I want to see if anyone have a picture of it with the cover: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-convert-extended-case-holster-p/bd4-hkr4ssgnlx2.htm since those pics are not the best ones. Also do you recommend it?
Thanks

No one? I really want to know before buying it.

I don't have a picture at the moment. I don't have that exact model, but the model I got from ebay is a 3800 mAh. I also got a case that fits around it.
With the case and the battery it is probably twice as thick as the phone with standard battery and no case. I don't mind, it fits in my pocket very easily and I feel much more comfortable with it.

took some pictures
I also have 3800mah battery, i took some pictures. rider.planet.ee/nexus
At first it felt little bit to big, but after few days its ok, fits in pocket.

Same questions to you... Have you been able to find any cover?

I just bought a cheapie ebay extended battery with cover, and it definitely improves battery life to nearly double the oem battery. I am pleased for the $8 I paid.

Couple it with a bumper case (so the cover fits) and you have decent protection.

I bought an Onite 3500 mAh battery from Amazon several weeks ago for vacation days hiking. I was surprised how small it was. I didn't take it off until a week after I got back. In the city I get at least 2 days with juice to spare. It also supposedly has NFC, but haven't used it yet. It came with an extended back cover.
I bought an extended soft TPU case and pair that with a Seidio surface holster.
I paid about $13 for the battery, and combined with cases, no shipping.
I'm definitely happy with the battery.

I bought this battery for my GSM - ebay.co.uk/itm/251005399006?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_3041wt_1113
they send me 3800mAh instead of 3500mAh, or is it just a sticker on the battery that says its 3800mAh, definitely it lasts longer than OEM battery. Haven't bought case yet, but this one looks nice - amazon.com/Trexcell-Transparent-Thermoplastic-Universal-aftermarket/dp/B007XWP788/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344185186&sr=8-1&keywords=extended+soft+TPU+case+nexus

I bought that case and it is fine. It is actually somewhat translucent and has a slight pattern on the back. It means I can't keep my mad money in my phone case, but otherwise it did the extended battery well.
The Onite batteries seem to be getting more expensive but they can still be found for about 25 dollars, which I still think is a good deal. My 13$ battery is a veritable steal.

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.

Hyperion Extended Battery TPU Case + International extended battery

Hi everybody,
This is my first topic in this forum, but I have already read you lots of time and you were very helpful for me. I have a problem with my Galaxy nexus, for work I travel a lot, but I’m not able to reach evening with the phone turn on. I do not want to change the inside software with a mod application, so I decide to buy an extended battery. I live in Italy and the only one avaible for my phone is an Mtec battery. There are lots of review in the net about it, and they are quite good. With the extended battery the old TPU cover can’t fit properly, so I need a new one. I looked about a “Hyperion Samsung Galaxy Nexus Extended Battery HoneyComb TPU Case”, and it seems good , so, have someone use this cover with a standard internation extended battery (not yperion, Anker, Qcell battery)?
Regards,
Sorry for my English , It isn’ t my mother language

Works for Me

I own and like mine.
It will last about 14 hours using GPS / maps, heavy network use and some browsing during lunch. Also have the "Hyperion TPU Case" - search ebay for bundled deals. I really like still having 20% battery left when I get home and not carrying a car-charger AND a spare battery.

I purchased the Hyperion battery and absolutely love it. I also ordered two cases with it. Instead of the Hyperion case, I got the Trexcell tpu case for the galaxy nexus and 3800 mah battery; reviews were better, and I can verify that it is a good fit. I also got the Seidio extended Convert Combo, and love it.

Love the battery. Hated the case. Took a knife to it and exposed the power and volume buttons. Now it's good.

That was why the TPU case that I got (along with the Seidio) was the one from Trexcell instead of Hyperion. The Trexcell TPU case has the buttons already cut out. The Trexcell is quite nice, although I've hardly used it since trying the Seidio extended convert combo.

Sorry if I never answer before, but working is killing me....
I look about Trexcell TPU case on amazon, and from pictures, it seems it' s not a flexible cover, but a rigid cover, can you confirm this, or am I wrong? Thanks

No... The Trexcell TPU is a typical TPU case. Somewhat flexible, but stiffer than rubber or silicone. It's actually quite nice for the price.

I didn't actually purchase them together as a combo. Just bought the items at the same time on Amazon:
Battery: http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Extended-Compatible-SCH-i515-CAPABILITIES/dp/B007C8XRJY
Trexcell case: http://www.amazon.com/Trexcell-Tran...ermarket/dp/B007XWP788/ref=pd_bxgy_cps_text_z
Seidio extended Convert Combo: http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-BD4-HKR4SSGNLX-Convert-Extended-Holster/dp/B0076MI9F8
Very happy with all three items.

Hi everybody, at last I bought seido extended tpu case, and the battery is a very cheap MTEC 3800 mha.
The cover fixes properly, so thanks everybody for help!
