Seidio? Speck? Incipio? Ebay special? Anything?
I need a case, but from what I can tell, nothing will work with the stock wireless charging door.
Is it the same size? If it's thin it will. I know there is one of the Otterbox or Kraken cases reported to be working. I know they are thicker than most cases.

Hey thanks for replying- the wireless charging cover is thicker but not much. I am guessing that the kraken will be the best bet - I have read that the otterboxes are not fitting with the wireless charging cover. I'll try and find a used kraken to test.

Same here...only one i've seen so far is the otterbox....but it's very bulky. I hope theres other option coming soon.
Yeah bought the otter box but I will be returning it. The case makes the phone too large. Also the clip holster is huge as well.
I bought the bodyglove case from att.com and picked up a universal bodyglove smartphone pouch this morning at walmart. Now my phone is protected and I can carry it on my belt.

You could probably find a good one for cheap on Ebay

I tried an Atrix 'thin' case from a mall kiosk today for $10 and was about to grab it until I found I couldn't really use the fingerprint scanner. It seemed that either the hole wasn't big enough or the material was too thick around the fingerprint reader.
I too am looking for a belt-clip case that swivels with no magnet for the Atrix.
write to seidioonline... they make great clips...
I'm using the feather case in a droid x plastic belt clip swivel holster. Works great! The holster is a lil taller than the phone tho. It worked great on my captivate as well. Would def. Recommend to anyone that wanted easy access to the phone asap

Why no magnet? Does that cause a problem?
Reason I ask is that I found a Duracell leather carrying case at the dollar store that has a magnetic closure in the flap. I figured I'd wait and get the protective case (probably a Body Glove Mirage or an Incipio Feather) first than then confirm that it fits in the Duracell case before buying it. It's a really nice looking belt-clip carrying case.
magnets are what causes it to go into the car docking app i believe, so it would cause it to launch whenever a magnet gets near it
I am using one from an old Samsung blackjack and it fits perfect. A lot cheaper than anything coming out also!
I bought a nice universal one for 30 from att fits perfectly and I can charge while its closed

Followup about the Duracell leather case. The Atrix naked will barely fit longwise. With a Body Glove Mirage case on the phone, the Duracell case is too tight.

I don't believe that is correct. AT&T sells an AGF Premium Leather Case for $39.99 (too pricey for me)
The description reads:
AGFs Premium Leather Pouch is made from beautifully crafted leather. This case is equipped with special sleeper magnets so that when your device is placed in the case, it automatically goes into sleep mode and helps preserve your battery life. AGFs Premium Leather Pouch also includes our 180-degree rotating belt clip, allowing for adjustable placement and maximum comfort. Our attractive magnetic flap, with a contrasting leather stripe, makes securing your phone amazingly simple. This pouch has all the utility you'd expect, paired with the style you want.

So apparently magnets don't make the phone activate the car docking app.

Not so fast. Apparently ATT just generalizes. Just check the problems everyone is having from this case from the reviews at ATT.

Yeah they really do. I absolutely love the clip for my Blackberry 9700. It was a shame they didn't have a solution for my Captivate (without using their case). Definitely hope they do something for the Atrix though!
Anyone know which cases are confirmed to fit the extended battery?
Otterbox Defender series works great one mine.
Are there any cases that don't double the bulk of the phone that will fit correctly? Maybe a TPU case?
I got the Incipio Sycrillic case with mine. The extended battery doesn't really add that much bulk so the case still fits.
How much longer would the battery last? About double or so I would guess?
The extended battery is 2100 mAh, so it should give about 25% - 30% more usage time. The battery adds hardly any bulk to the device. It fits with the Otterbox Defender series (a tight fit but it works), any silicone case, and the Incipio Double Cover that Verizon sells. It does not fit with Verizon's Shell Holster Combo (with the kick stand).

25%-30%?
I think it's more like 13-14%%
25% of 1850mAH is 462mAH (so 2312mAH total) and this is only 2100mAH...
Supposedly the TPU cases still work on this.
I'm looking for one of those barely-there TPU cases for the GN. It's too thin and the extended battery doesn't even thicken it up, plus its slippery.
ebay
im pretty sure ebay will have them for like 5 or 6 dollars.. thats where i normally get my external wall chargers from they get the job done

How do you like the Incipio Case? Does it add alot of bulk? Does it add alot of weight?

Barely there is by Casemate, TPU is a company now named Ditztronic. Or, does Casemate Barely There use TPU (the material) as a case.
I read a review about the Barely There that siad it doesn't actually cover the whole phone, so if you drop it on the bottom, there is no protection. That was deal breaker.
What about the commuter series? My defender is too bulky
This sucks... one major reason for buying the phone was due to it's lightweight thin build.. and I can't really seem to find a case that leaves the phone thin and light..
I really like the Verizon shell/holster combo but it doesn't fit the extended battery
May have to risk going naked

Fuhhh.. are you serious? I ordered the extended battery hoping that it would fit the shell/holster set. I like it because it's simple and has a kickstand that I want to use. So the shell doesn't snap onto the gnex?
Correct.. just barely doesn't fit. That's exactly why I like it.. not too thick and it has the kickstand if I need it
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Thanks.. i guess i'll sell this and find another case..
I like the trident cases personally. I know that they are going to be releasing one mid january, but do you guys think that with the extended it will fit?
So the incipio feather case wont fit with the extended battery? I had imagined the 1-2mm would make it a tighter fit but the impact would be negligible - can someone confirm that with the extended battery it indeed wont fit?
CaseMate barely there fits fine with the extended battery. The incipio silicrylic fits, but has a slight gap at the sides where the hard plastic fits over the silicone.

Why don't you get a skin? They're tricky to put on and really only offer scratch protection, but probably better than nothing.
I have a Galaxy S3 (i747) with the new Samsung branded 3000 mAh battery, but I need a case. The Otterboxes do not fit, and IDK if the Incipio will (I had incipio before my old GS3 was lost). Which cases will definitely fit this new size?
Seidio Active
By leaving the back cover off the phone this one will fit. It has a hard plastic outer shield for the back so it offers plenty of protection. Works for me until a made to order case comes out. I had the kickstand model first. I think it sucks. Would not hold the phone vertical, was ugly and it bulged too much. That be my opinion.
nothing else?
i have the same problem.. someone solved it?
are not there any case for the original 3000 battery ?
Diztronics makes cases specifically for this battery.

Unfotunatly to italy is not possible to recive from their store
thanks for the info ill' call my london friend.
I have this battery + the Diztronic. The case fits perfectly and is very well done. It is available via Amazon or through the Diztronic site.
There is a long thread about this battery here but you have to go through the entire thread to find the cases that work. Mentioned as cases that fit: the Zoogue Social, the Eclipse, the Case-Mate Emerge Smooth, the Urban Armor Gear case (if you do not use the included battery door), and the "fake Spigen Neo Hybrids" from sunsky. Others have modded the Otterbox Commuter and the Invero Hard Plastic Bumper case (from amazon UK).
I have ordered some cheapo silicon cases that I hope are stretchy enough to work with the extended battery as I would like some more colorful options.
Anyone know which case this is?

Will the obex waterproof case work with this add on? It's super thin but I'm not sure and wanted to ask if anyone has tried.
I'm not sure if the case will fit.

The QI bulges the back cover of the S3 very slightly. I use it with Otterbox Commuters no problem. The silicone in the case allows for the minor extra squeeze. I've not used the Obex but if its similar to the Commuter then you should be fine

I own it, but I didn't review it like I normally do. Not sure why. The case is a very good case for a 20 dollar case. It's basically a bugdroid tpu hot glued into a wallet case. It's a bit bulky, but the majority of that is the tpu case itself. The case is a smart case and the clasp is nice and strong. However the clasp is a bit of annoyance to me because it sits awkwardly on my wireless chargers. The best qi charger I have to use it with is the Tylt Vu because it can accommodate landscape charging. The orb barely holds on and it just sits crooked because of the clasp. I'll sell it to you if you want. I have the whitish/black version.
From this wallet case, I went onto the Rock Slim Elegant case. VERY thin. Think of it as the Poetic Palette with a flip attached to it via hinge. Very slim compared to the Cruzerlite, but not as much overall protection. Plus the front flap doesn't stay closed, but I have it in my pocket anyway. Needless to say it works with wireless charging like a champ. However, not a smart case. No magnets on this case. I would say this would be the minimalist flip case. No card pockets here.
And then I found what I initially thought was the perfect slim wallet type case; the Seidio Ledger. I have come across an issue with what Seidio calls the soft touch on the case that holds the phone. While it feels like pure butter in your hand, my two cases resulted in the soft touch material rubbing off on various parts of the case. I have been working with Seidio for the past week and seeing if there is a fix for it. So the jury is out on it. I love it, it has a cut out for the LED, no other flip case I know of has this, the kickstand, not needed but nice to have, has a smart cover and the metal kickstand is not THAT obtrusive when placing in my various wireless qi chargers. I have the Tylt Vu, Nexus Wireless charger and the Nexus orb charger.
