I just got my galaxy nexus off ebay.
Im on sprint so i have the toro-plus and i am interested in buying a new bumper case and back door cover.
Most of the cases on ebay are for either the gsm model or verizon lte model and people warn thats theres differences.
Does the verizon lte cases fit the sprint model? And back door covers?
or Do Gsm case and back door fit?
OR... Do i have to look up L700 sprint model for both cases and door covers.
Thanks
The Sprint and Verizon models are physically the same size, so any Verizon case will fit.
The GSM model is slightly thinner than the others. It has a different shaped battery and back cover. The batteries and back doors are not compatible with CDMA models.
Cases for the most part have enough give in them to work on either GSM or CDMA models, simply because the differences in the thickness are so small. There may be a few cases that are extremely form-fitting to the device that may not fit properly. Just go with CDMA cases if you're really unsure.
The back plates are incompatible between the Verizon and Sprint model I think... I'd double check that.

I read alot of post where people posted that their extended batteries fit inside the normal cases.
Im looking to get the extended battery with door(for sprint). Does it make the phone any fatter or its just a weight issue.
Thanks

Some have been able to squeeze the extended battery in with the stock cover. The OEM extended battery + cover does make it slightly thicker and heavier.

I was wondering if the gsm GNEX accessories will fit the CDMA version
(like the screen protector, cases, skins,battery cover,oem and extended battery ect.) ive searched but couldnt get a straight answer..sorry im new to GNEX,
just switched over from the rezound..and looking foward to the Gnex forums
THANKS!
Screen protectors and cases will fit. Most cases are marketed as such. They're not nearly different enough in thickness to matter. The only ones I'd think twice about are tight waterproof cases or something like that that's more device specific.
but... Batteries and covers are not cross-compatible, you have to buy the correct one!! Which is i515 fro VZW. You can't use i9250 batteries or covers.
The car docks are not cross compatible either.
thanks guys..answered my questions..was gonna get a aftermarket battery cover but never mind lol
Hi - could someone advise me which case would fit the Telus Samsung Galaxy S2 X?
I am in the U.S. and bought this phone but need a case.
Would one of the popular ones from Amazon fit?
Thanks!
if you phone the same as t-mobile galaxy s II, look here
Well that's the Issue, I was hoping someone here would be able to tell me if it is the same and same cases apply.

Yes, the same cases for the T-Mobile T989 will fit the T989D for Telus perfectly.
I ordered my Seidio Active Case with Kickstand and Holster from the US and it was specific to the T-Mobile T989 model and it fits perfectly.
The phones are identical, the only difference is the writing on the front of the phone. Mine says Samsung at the top and nothing at the bottom, just the settings, home, back and search buttons. I believe on the T-Mobile model it says T-Mobile at the top and says Samsung at the bottom. Other than that they are the same phone.
If you have doubts you can always walk into a t-mobile store. I'm sure they have a live unit on display you can hold your's up to for comparison.
They are 100% the same
As stated above, the only cosmetic difference is the T989D just says "Samsung" at the top of the screen where the T989 is branded "T-Mobile"

make sure you dont purchase a case for the att skyrocket. its external speaker is on the opposite side.
the skyrocket and t989 can use eachothers roms, radios, but not cases.

Thanks for the feedback, I went with the TPU best selling case for this phone from Amazon to just keep it simple
I'm looking for an extended battery set with cover for the T989D (samsung galaxy S2X)
Of course the market has only sets for the T989 minus the D.
Are you saying that the dimensions of T989 and T989D are similar enough such that the battery cover will interchangeably fit?
PDADB.NET seems to indicate otherwise, as the dimensions indicated are different.

They are physically the same phone. I believe I have a seido (sp?) 3800 ext battery and case if interested. Otherwise, I have a BNIB CDMA Gnex ext battery that will fit with stock cover.. some may need Minor mods. but if using a case then doesnt really matter.

what case do you have working with the T989D with extended battery? (just to clarify, case = full body case, NOT a battery cover).
Anyone can confirm if All Verizon Galaxy Nexus accessories are compatible with Sprint Galaxy Nexus?
They look like the same phone

agreed & hopeful, as i just ordered some screen protectors and cases.
all the accessories will work, but they are all ****. Wait till you can use the 3 prongs, as far as cases and **** yeah they work.
has anyone tried the Verizon extended battery on the Sprint model? It doesn't work on the GSM so might not work on the Sprint either.

my opinion is that gsm is a smaller model, verizon and sprint are cdma/lte/fatter model. i imagine everything should fit....

The Verizon extended battery cover does not fit the sprint galaxy nexus. I went to a Verizon store to see if it would, and the cover tabs do not align properly. You might be able to grind the one tab that is misaligned, but the cover wouldn't fit as snug. The battery looks like it fits, has nfc and the same electrical specs, but the part number is not the same for the 1850 mAh stock size.

Thanks, was just about to pull the trigger on one. Shame, I really want the 2100 mAh battery.
Sucks was hoping that the verizon battery will work on sprint. Guess have to wait then
So even though the Sprint and Verzion websites list slightly different sizes I would be fine getting this case? http://www.shopandroid.com/seidio-active-case-with-kickstand/4A54A9572.htm

The LTE Extended battery does NOT fit. As a previous poster said, the tabs on the back cover are different. Also, the cover is lighter in color. The sprint galaxy nexus is a dark titanium, where as the Verizon is a lighter titanium color. So we just have to wait for sprint to release there own version, if they ever do
As for the cases, those should all fit fine. I have the Rinke *sp* and that fits good. it snaps in perfectly, but since there is room for the extended battery, the lower back half has a little flex if pressed on.
I also have the incipio NGP and double cover, both fit perfectly
I just went to Verizon and got the car dock. Works and fits perfect..
Verizon accesories
My preordered phone arrived on Friday. I rushed out that evening to find a screen protector and case. I found the ZAGG screen protector at Best Buy but was disappointed with the case that they were offering. Luckily a Verizon store was across the street. I was offered 6 different cases. I went with an INCIPIO DOUBLE COVER. Fits like a glove.
Extended Battery
The cover does not fit but if you cut off the two little tabs it does fit. The extended battery does also work. I've been using the regular and the extended since Friday. It also works if you get the seidio extended BT Case Cover or the Ringke Slim Case CDMA version.
It looks better with the case on than the VZ cover. I hope sprints makes an Extended cover.
I hope this helps.
soooo.... pic 1 kinda looks like ass.... is that AFTER cutting the tabs????
i tried this myself in the verizon store it didnt look like it would fit right.
All those pics were taken after cutting the tabs.

Wow. If that's how the VZW back fits around the Sprint CDMA Camera, these two phones are vastly different in size.

I ordered the verizon extended battery and cover and cut the two tabs off, it works fine and does not look like it would come loose. I also ordered the siedo surface case for the Verizon phone with extended battery to hide the ugly verizon logo ;-)
Geoff
Don't suppose anybody out there would make a battery door that would fit the verizon battery, only instead of having the verizon logo, have the google logo like the GSM?

I use the original back with the extended battery. It fits with just a very tiny bit of bulge.
Anybody knows if the battery cover from the international version fits the verizon one?
Yes, it should ... the physical dimensions between the various SIII models are identical.
Likewise, cases and other fitted accessories for the international model should fit our phone, as well. I have three extended battery cases originally made for the international model which fit perfectly.
Be wary of any battery cover/replacement back made of metal. These interfere with NFC and radio (re: call, wifi and 3G/4G) reception. I've read that the carbon fiber backs are very nice ...

On the CF backs:
What people are calling "carbon fiber" backs, are NOT carbon fiber.. they are vinyl, with the consistency of leather (re: pleather) with a CF-like weave imprinted in it (3d imprinted, so it really does look pretty cool). They look awesome, and are slightly padding.
A REAL CF back would be expensive, and actually lower reception a tiny bit (nowhere near as much as a metal plate, but still lower reception).
I've had my phone in its Otterbox since July. Now, the case is worn. I have no reason why, but the edges have loosned a lot. The phone now falls out of the rubber grip.
So, I need a new case. However, I was also wanting to pick up an extended battery. Problem is, they all require a different back cover. I do want a protective case, but I also want to pick up an extended battery. Any battery/case recommendations?

If you're going to get the official Samsung Extended Battery, I'm not aware of anything that is specifically made for that yet. However, you can get both a case and extended battery from Seidio (http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-s/8156.htm).
This question might be better asked in the Accessories forum. The accessories forum has all 4 Galaxy S 3 forums in it (Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile), so it's a bigger audience to find it for you.
