I've searched through the last 15 pages of threads on here looking for a case that will fit my gnex with the qcell extended battery. I ordered a hyperion honeycomb TBU case that is suppose to fit it. Got it today, and it doesn't fit very well. The sides don't fit snuggly with the phone, making it feel and look sloppy. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I want to get an extended battery (nothing huge, no 3500 for me, but something in the lower 2000s will be fine) but I don't want to sacrifice being able to use a badass case like Trident cyclops or defender (can't decide which I want).
However, I don't think there's a 2000+ sized battery that'll fit in the stock case, so do any of those companies make cases for phones that have extended batteries?
If not, can anyone tell me the largest battery you can fit inside of a stock back door?
1800 is the biggest that will fit under the stock door....I just got a 3500 and will NEVER go back..awesome!
you can fit the sprint 2600 in the ballistic case with some modifications... there is a thread about it somewhere on here where someone was asking and I posted pictures showing what needed to be done
bump......
no one makes a rugged extended case except sedio man... thats it, your only option other than modding the ballistic case.

i did this and its awesome!
I have the Seidio Extended battery and simply took one of my TPU cases and modded the back to be cut open around the extended part. The remaining cover still houses the sides and corners as usual and the extended case protects the camera/flash area. I have dropped it a few times and it has held up just as well.
At $4-5 a case, simple enough to do. I didn't want the added bulk of the Seidio Rugged, and the slim one piece case just simply fails to protect the phone when being dropped.
Some very small [email protected] pics from my webcam.
***Just read elsewhere that a credit card makes the perfect shape to cutout for a perfect tight fit to the Seidio Extended's bumpout.

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.
I can't seem to find one that says it'll fit the extended (2100mah) battery. The case I just bought goes on, but theres about a 1/3rd inch gap in one of the corners and won't fit over it. Anyone know a case with holster that will fit with the extended battery? I thought Otterbox Defender would, but I can't find one in a store anywhere =/.

This, it's a bit pricey but I'm sure you could find it much cheaper on ebay.
i use the double cover
Cut the "stock" battery cover right at the little lip that retains the sim card (leaving lip intact). The added thickness of the ext battery is the same height of the stock battery cover installed. Works great with any case and battery is held in properly.
good day.
You can use the 2100mah seidio holster with about any tpu case. I've used it with the Cruzer Lite cases after seeing it posted on here. Seidio is also good about their warranty on their case. Mine cracked when trying to remove it several months after purchasing it and they replaced it with no problems (though I did have to spend a dollar or so to mail the broken piece back in).
Please keep it respectful here fellas. It's just a cellphone case.
I recently purchased the Gorilla Gadgets extended battery for my SIII. At the same time, I ordered the snap on case that came with it. The problem is that it doesn't fit snugly around the sides of the device. Have any of you out there using extended batteries come across a good case for it? I thought I would ask here and hopefully save some money on other ill fitting cases.
Best I have found is Airbus on amazon. Its not perfect but its far better then the hyperion cases or the yesoo cases stay far away from yesoo. The airbus case did require punching out the mic holes with a paper punch as they were to small and blocking access.
Anything that isn't a TPU case?
At this point, I would be happy with anything that fits properly. The case from Gorilla Gadget is close, but not close enough, and I'm anal about my phone!
Seidioonline is the best I have found

Have you considered Seidio's extended cases?
Not sure if Seidio's extended battery is the same dimensions as the GG one though.
I personally ordered the active and one of their batteries, though shipping is taking forever
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).

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
