IT FITS.
For all of us who tried to do the right thing... get the Galaxy Nexus and protect such a beast with the Otterbox case that Verizon is selling:
I was worried after I saw how bad the standard battery performs and went through all the steps; customizing the menu, getting apps that control cpu and functions, and calibrating the battery...etc.
At the same time, I ordered the extended battery, assuming the Otterbox would be substituted by some gel case and that I would just need to deal with a bulkier phone (not that the GN is bad at all).
Battery came with extended battery case and it totally fits in the Otterbox, without removing the back Otterbox plastic cover or doing any odd alterations. It just fits so the size is the same, a little more weight but it's nothing.
Gonna calibrate the battery now...
I read somewhere that this was the "right" feeling phone and that Google designed this! And that Verizon in the slim-battery, slim-phone wars set this in motion. Why the negative press about Google flagship is "worth it" to a VZ exec I dont know... but all these phones should have come with the "extended" battery as standard. And extended should realy do that... extend the battery life and not make us feel that the phone is underperforming with the "standard" (included) battery it ships with.
Booya!
Hope I'm happier with this once I finish charging the new battery.
I have the extended battery and just got my Otterbox Commuter case and it fits perfectly. Very very happy with both !!!!

I'm assuming that you're referring to the Defender case?
Good to know.. waiting for one that has a kickstand also for the extended battery gnex.

Yes. Defender! It is defending well.
I can confirm the otterbox commuter fits with the extended battery. 2 of the corners have a slight gap, the other 2 corners fit just fine. Case still works perfectly though.

I got the kickstand case at verizon (it was free, long story) and it fits fine with the extended battery as long as you dont put the battery cover on... the rear is completely protected so you're not leaving anything exposed (though i guess it could be more vulnerable to light water damage where it would not if you had the back on) but overall i'm pretty happy with the kickstand case... wish it had corner protection though.

How do you like your Commuter? I have mine, but I have no GNex yet!
How much thinner is the Commuter versus the Defender? I have the defender but the included screen protector is garbage. I might pick up the commuter if it's thinner than the defender.
i have used goobegone to remove the defender screen protector from the top bezel of my nexus one. and then installed an aftermarket protector directly to the screen. It was a perfect combo too. Is this how the defender screen protector is too? Removable by peeling off and removing the adhesive?
Hello Everybody,
I recently got a slick Seidio BACY32SSG2A-BK Innocell 3200mAh Extended Life Battery for AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II from Amazon for around $53.
It works all fine but I am unable to use the protection cover (Acase(TM) Samsung Galaxy S2 S II (SGH-I777) Superleggera PRO Dual Layer Protection case) which i had been using earlier with the default battery. The best thing about this case was the outside grip I got on the phone.
I tried searching for a solution which would provide me a grip along with the extended battery at the same time and found something similar for IPHONE which is called XtremeMac Border Case for Iphone.
Have anyone come across a border case for Samsung Galaxy S II?
Sorry I wanted to put up the links but as this is my first post I am not allowed to.
Thanks.
If I get the Samsung Extended Battery and Cover for GSM Galaxy Nexus, can I use the standard battery with the extended battery cover?
I've seen some suggestions that it will work fine and some suggestions that the standard battery will be loose with the extended cover. I don't mind carrying a second battery, but carrying a second back cover would be a hassle.
I sometimes use the stock battery with the extended battery cover. I just added a piece of foam to the back of the battery. I don't use NFC so I can't say how it would impacted.

Did the stock battery rattle around without a piece of foam?
I also use the original battery as a spare one with the extended cover. I never used any foam or paper or any filler material to compensate the thickness and there were no issues. the NFC is working excellent also.
Do third party cases fit over the extended back?
I personally tested 2 cases, both with perfect fit:
The "TPU S-line" and the "Momax iCase Pro"
Heys guys. I have the otter box commuter case and looking for a little different look and feel to my phone. So was thinking about going with this case for a change. But I have a GSM galaxy nexus with a extended battery, so I was wondering if anyone can find a back door that looks like this but can fit a extended battery. Or maybe someone who has the metal one can tell me if I can grind the backing to make a extended battery fit? Thanks guys. Also from what I remember, a GSM galaxy nexus has the same back cover as a Verizon galaxy nexus?
