Guys and Gals,
I found two extended battery cases, currently sold only through Hong Kong distributors, which really tickled my pink ...
Here's the first: supplemental 3200mAh battery built-into an integrated back with front flap and metal kickstand.

Here's the second: supplemental 2600mAh battery built-into an integrated case with front flap and metal kickstand.
I ordered the second one and should have it by the middle of next week.
The primary difference between the two seems to be the connection between the phone and the battery (the first is constant, the second is on-demand) and the increased side/corner protection offered by the second case.
They are both available on eBay ... I'll let everyone know how my purchase experience goes.

I would be curious to know if it replaces the back and if that little silver button in the lower right is a power switch. I might end up getting one of these, too ...

but isn't this will make your OEM batter die faster?
and does still able to do nfc and you know those s3 sharing photos stuff?

To you first question:
No, because it looks like both battery cases have a discrete power button -- which means your primary battery only gets 'recharged' when you activate the secondary battery. I have heard that constant-on secondary batteries cause this problem, though ...
To you second question:
I'm not sure if the case enclosure or size would inhibit either of these. I can try when the case arrives and report back ...

I too am curious as to whether NFC still works with those cases since a battery with metal will be obstructing the NFC chip in the OEM battery
No link? Really?
Hmm, it's an interesting alternative to something like this http://www.amazon.com/SlimTalk-Micro-USB-Flashlight-Smartphones-Sensation/dp/B0054U6CEE/
Might be something nice to use on a flight so you can game or watch a movie and still have battery left to call people when you land

Took like 1 second to find those...
I just looked at a bunch of these ebay. For one thing they spelled Samsung wrong on the rear cover Sanmsung ha!
They also all seem to have a max charge rate of 500mA, which means if you are really pushing your phone (nav, videos, etc) the battery won't be a to keep up with the discharge rate.
Seems like a waste of money unless something higher quality comes along.
Anyone have experience with this one:

Given the state of grammar and spelling today, this seems apropos.
Since you're not in a position to accurately assess quality, I will report back.

Oh man your'e NUTS.... LOL LOL...
you must have really big pockets ;-)
OMG!
10Ah jumbo battery DIY, great work, yeah pockets must be very big to take this with u when moving
wtf? that is ridiculous. i mean, the capacity is impressive but it really looks like a bomb but nice work though, plus it seems to be a good stand too, so you can watch hours and hours of video...
oh my god,
is it bomb? or Blue Angel.
any body here be care full there is bomb BA.
but really nice 10A of battery,it will still for 10 days without charging it.
but how u carry it?in ur pocket?or hold it on ur belt? they will thought u as suicide,
it isnot good idea to carry these tow bombs any where.
Under that same concept, you could wire your BA to your car battery you will have a BA that runs on gasoline. You get more horsepower, but the drawback is that you damage the enviornment
Good God! Some people are either really creative or really need a new hobby (or bigger pockets as noted in a few more comments)
Look like a bomb !!!!!!!!!
Boom!!!!!!!!!!!
Every one are afraid off this one,this bomb when show it on coffe Shop
Oh,Those pictures are made by PDAVIET MEMBER,SO GOOD,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHHAHAH!!!!!
COOOOOOL!!! I've been thinking about making something like this, but didn't know how to make a case for the batteries. Now I need I don't need a case!!! This thing looks perfect!!! I'll put only 3 batteries, should be enough

don't think wrong, it isn't
LOL, now i have seen it all. but mind you ingenius to say the least, but a better solution would have been to hook that same battery pack with the power adapter that comes with the Blue Angel, and let it charge the internal battery. they've made similar devices for the ipods and iphones for awhile now letting you talk and use the phoe while charging the internal battery. and not look like your carrying an explosive charge hahaha
But well done on the implementation!

This one actually sucks!! Holds your Captivate great for the first couple of weeks, then you have to wash it and let it dry and then re use it else it keeps falling off... I have the Car mount and it is a serious waste of money!
cool. but ill stick to a shoe box
Three words: business card holder. At work I use a plastic one for my phone. I know the dollar store has wire mesh ones, could easily cut up an old mouse pad or something for padding/non-slip.

Although, these are quite cheap don't feel like going to buy one. May be u should buy first and then give us some feedback? That'd be nice
Wow, that's going to be about 2.2 times fatter than the original phone! LOL! Heck no!
lol @ alright then will order one for me.
well they say if u want more juice you'll have to shell more quids. lol but i think this is not the case here
I'll bite.
hold your horses. these two sellers look a bit cheeky to me, they have recently changed thier product pictures and more or less they look the same. however also they have hidden the battery mAH what for ???
These are 100% fake, you will be very lucky if there not less than the original, do not be conned.
I will buy one.
Looking at the price and pics it seems to be fake and I am afraid that they might explode or overheat over the period of time.
ouch that's one ugly case back cover!
Yeh looks cheeky to me but have to be buy one. Excited !!!!

OEM battery for 30 bucks.

Edit:
Crap, just noticed it's for the 1650, but the picture is of an 1850 mah.
i still think the offer on ebay for $40 for the Docking+1850 NFC battery is way better than buying the battery by itself
i got 2 of those
1 for home , and another for the office
and as usual i always carry 2 extra battery pack with me
because i know i can burn through 1 really fast, on my down time
in the doctor office waiting room, i can easily burn the battery down to 30% in 3 hours
that's on the Nexus S and I9000, so i'm expecting similar performance on the SGS2
I just got 2 extra OEM batteries the other day, I've got to say it's pretty sweet to turn up the screen brightness and not worry about battery life.

a bit off topic but yeah... i don't even know what's the point of having an Appointment! with the Doctor, if you arrive on time or even early, and you still need to wait an average of 2 hours give or take a few
so i really hate going to see a doctor unless i'm in dying needs for some prescription medicine
like what's the point of having an "appointment" if it's like a walk-in clinic?

nope, it barely holds the phone on it's own. I felt like I had to force the phone in it and felt it was gonna scratch the Bezel with continued use. I wouldn't buy it again after owning it already.
I was told to get the extended battery from verizon by XDA member player911. I said okay, looked online and didnt find anything. I pm'ed him and he said call the store, ask them if they have it, and ask the price. It may come up as 50.00, if so hang up call another store. When it comes up as 25.00, profit. I attached proof for the ones that say pics or never happened.

As far as I know, this battery has always been "on sale" for $25 from Verizon since launch. I've seen these reminder news posts about it about every month now.

The verizon battery comes with a new cover that will fit the battery. But you're saying the actual width/height of the battery is different and won't fit in the slot?
Does it make a significant difference? I have the stock battery and I am usually plugged into an outlet for some of the day, but I run full brightness and Juice defender and have NO problems getting through the day. Although I would like to feel like I dont have to be tethered to a wire all day.
I too am mulling over buying the "extended" battery. Even though I'm not far from a USB charger in my daily routine.
25 dollars isn't that much money, but it's pretty pathetic when you only get an extra what? 300mAh? Something like an extra 16% capacity.
From what I have seen the extended battery and door don't really add any significant weight or thickness to the phone (which is good) but it really makes you wonder why they didn't just make the "extended" the stock battery if it adds no significant weight or thickness.
I came from my Sprint Evo with the official sprint extended battery, and to be honest I'm enjoying the "thinness" of my Nexus without the double width action going on.
I might stop by the sprint store today and pick one up after work, ONLY because I really want to get my inductive charging mod completed today. It's kind of pointless to mod the stock battery door and all that junk only to have to do it again for the extended back cover.
Granted my Nexus only cost me 9 dollars after trading in my Evo4G, after a Rearth case, Zagg film, and touchstone materials I gotta start watching how much I spend if I throw an extended battery in the mix.
Seems I'm an accessory whore
I somehow lost my extended battery while on vacation and have to buy a new one.... I'm hoping it is still $25.... but when I pull it up it now says for me it is only 25% off making it $37... Could be because there is a corporate discount on my account. Anyone know if it still is $25, or am I just a couple days too late :-(
