Agreed, 100%.
Diztronic fits perfect.
SGP Capsule case its OK but lips don't grip right at the top this making it out of alignment. Useable by not perfect. I had the black so it was hardly noticeable without heavy inspection. If you bought a colored case it would probably stand out more.
I'm getting a Case Mate Barely There mailed. Supposedly won't work with the extended back plate. But some say it'll work nicely without a back plate. Will have to test and see which I like more.
Diztronic is a sure win. Feels great and not too bulky.

I have a $3 silicone skin coming from ebay. I'm hoping that given the small differences in thickness between the stock and extended battery backs and the stretchiness of the silicone, I'll be able to get the "case" on properly.
I also use the diztronic matte black one. Love it. Make sure you get revision 3.

I just got the Verizon 2100 extended battery with extended back cover and my Otterbox Defender still fits perfectly. It goes on just as well as it does with the original battery.

I have an Incipio Feather case that only sort of fits...I'm going to do a little sanding to the inside and see if I can get it to work. I will post results here...
I'm currently using the Seidio Active w/Kickstand and it fits perfectly. I used those eBay Hybrid S-Line TPU cases and they didn't fit without actually removing the battery cover.
I'm getting a Diztronic in the mail today and a Cruzer Liter tomorrow and those supposedly will fit with the extended back cover.
Diztronic for me. I love it!

It will. As I stated above, I'm using it right now. EX battery with my OB Defender.

The sanding didn't work, but I might try cutting this case...at that point though with the "lightness" of the Feather, I'm not sure why I'd have a case...
I found a couple of cases on ebay/obostore/ioomobile that i really liked. All are hybrid(tpu sides, PC back) like the SGP neo hybrid (difference being, the Neo has PC sides and TPU back), and are way cheaper than the Neo, just 11$ on obostore. Has any1 used these and can attest to their quality?

The SGP Neo Hybrids look much nicer, and more high quality. I would suggest going for them, you won't be disappointed.

it states 2 in 1 material meanning one case 2 material, and i have seen and used these cases.
I guess you could not use the back plate and you have a bumper style case? .
Can you do that with the SGP Neo? I thinking of ordering the Momax one

one piece two tone, you can will all tpu if you want, just cut the back off
Got the Momax case from eBay.
Fits really well with stock GSM. TPU sides provide added grip from the material and due to ergonomics.
The back plate...doesnt do much? Nice to have I guess. As mentioned above, its a once piece case. I feel as if the case will lose rigidity if I try to cut it out, so I havent tried it.
The screen protector I have not used but it doesnt seem that great. Its cloudy.
A good case overall. Lots of retailers are selling it now for about $10, search for it.

is the momax icase pro slippery?? would like to try this one out due to availability in indonesia and also there are holes for power and volume rocker.
i bought nillkin mobile skin case clear black, it's not slippery, but too bad the power button and volume rocker are hidden, and when i tried to push power button, i often find myself accidentally push the volume rocker on the other side.
It provides more grip than no case, but less grip than silicone which personally is good. I think its perfect.

thanks for the information. very tempted to buy one when my 3rd galaxy nexus replacement arrive some time next week.
just bought momax icase pro black for galaxy nexus today. lol, it looks cool. i hope there's a matter version for the outside tpu soft case would make this case perfect!
it catches finger print very easily on the glossy tpu material outside, but what the hell.
update: the glossy tpu really fingerprint proof indeed. not slippery and ease of use in and out jean pocket. like it like a lot!
Wow, i really like this case, great build! Cheaper than SGP, much better than Nillkin Mobile Skin Case Clear Black.
It has thicker lips too which protect more glass surface on front, sometimes it hinders my finger to navigate the cursor to the edge of the screen when typing. Some people appreciates the thin lips on SGP Ultra Hybrid though.
The stock screenguard is a clear one, fingerprint and oil magnet for sure!
update info on momax icase pro for galaxy nexus i9250 black, i can confirm that this case is compatible with samsung official extended battery 2000mah. fits perfectly in hand, adds build quality perception 'cause of the added minimal weight on it.

Hi everyone. I'm currently looking to buy a new case and I'm interested in one of the following:
- Trident Aegis
- Casemate Tough
- Incipio Silicrylic
I honestly don't know which one to buy. I use a GSM Nexus with the 2000mah battery. Can anyone give me some suggestions or opinions on these cases?
Anyone?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Never used the Aegis on my nexus just the kraken case but I like how the silicon is thicker then most others and the poly carbonate also seems stronger/more supportive. just go into a store and try them on your phone and see how you like them.
I'm using the Aegis now and love it. It was either this or the otterbox commuter. What sealed the deal for me was the included screen protector. The trident aegis includes a full size protector, where as the otter box gives you one that only covers a portion of the screen. Not sure why they did that, but they lost a sale with me. Not regretting the Aegis purchase one bit.

None of those. I recommend the Case-mate POP case. It fits very well with the extended battery cover and it's fairly easy to put on and take off. You can probably find the white ones at Sprint stores. It was the first case I bought and I haven't even bothered looking around for another...and I usually buy many cases.

Actually I forgot to mention that I currently use the pop case and I like it a lot but as you mentioned I also buy a lot of cases and those three caught my attention.

I would not recommend the Silicrylic. The silicone layer of the case is WAY too flimsy. When I swipe from left to right and hit the side of the case, the silicone moves because its so flimsy. The case I got also didn't really fit correctly. The top layer was curved so it there was space between the two layers.

The Ballistic case looks pretty good too, I'd look into that. I personally use the Trident Kraken; though I understand many will not like it for it's thickness.

I know how you feel. Sometimes you just have to try another case.
But I have checked out a bunch of video reviews for other cases and I have seen that the ones that have 2 parts, like the ones you mention, usually don't fit the phone as well when it has the extended battery installed. I guess it's the nature of the design. That would probably apply to the Ballistic as well, same concept.
If I had to choose between the three, I would go with the Aegis as that's the only one I have seen that fits the extended battery well enough.
One thing I have found that helps is to look at cases that were designed for the Verizon/Sprint versions of the Galaxy Nexus as they are already thicker so should fit the GSM model w/ ext. battery better.
Ultimately, the decision is yours but that's just my 2 cents. Good luck.
A little ingenuity can go a long way. Check out the little mod I did to my sylcrilic case.

That's definitely an interesting mod, but I feel it only fits with the extended battery cover because all that silicone was cut out.
Question though, where can you get that carbon fiber adhesive? Is there anywhere "in-store" that it can be purchased? I would like to check out the "texture" before buying.
Probably. I ordered 6ft roll off Amazon for $30. And it is the legit 3m vinyl. Its super slippery. I tried it on my battery cover and it led to many close calls. But then I put the cut to fit zagg invisible shield over that and it is awesome.

The extended battery pack will arrive next week but my SGP Ultra Hybrid i think that will not be compatible.
Subscribed. I would also like to know this. I have a gsm extended battery that should arrive next week and I don't think my cheap tpu case will fit.

And this thread:

It does not fit with the extended battery. The second thread is stickied at the top of this section and is a great guide for finding the right case for you.
Damn that sucks it looks pretty bad ass
I own one and to be honest I'm not that impressed. Looks good and is very minimal but wouldnt really protect the device in case of a drop.
I use the dizitronic tpu on most days and have an incipio sylicrylic for days that I'm out and want more protection. The dizitronic doesn't add much bulk but provides some protection. Incipio is a dual layer case and a little more bulky but my phone is well protected when inside of it.

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 ?

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?
