Hi there. I wanted to inquire about a flip cover case (that opens from the side preferably) that fits with an extended battery? I've been searching up and down and no luck. Anyone else have better fortune? Thanks in advance for your time.

Oh, and it's the Sprint version, btw.

Hi,
I have searched but didn't find any information, and for good reasons... They former hasn't launched globally yet.
Would it be possible to use a SG3 battery in GNex? I understand the GNex is a smaller device, but could have same battery compartment as SG3?
Anyone tried? If it's possible, imagine the battery benefits... But me thinks Sammy is a little smarter than that
Thanks!

Why not just buy an extended battery.. basically the same capacity and a guaranteed fit.

Just buy the GNex extended battery...
I wanted to get the Verizon one since it's pretty much OEM quality, but cannot ship to Canada...
I prefer to stick with OEM, which is why I am wondering if a battery swap could work... Hmmm

The Verizon battery won't even fit in your phone.

The Verizon battery won't fit the GSM model.

Verizon battery won't fit. The Samsung extended battery for the GSM model is OEM.
Where can I obtain the Samsung extended battery for GSM?
What's the capacity?
I am still interested in seeing if anyone had luck using SG3 battery in GNex...
Thanks

Samsung one is 2050mAh
It won't make a difference. Just buy a battery that is guaranteed to work.

They're all over eBay from Korean sellers, about $30-$35 right now including a new back cover (you need it).
The SGSIII one won't fit. Just buy the 2000mAh Samsung GNex one.
Just Google Samsung Galaxy Nexus OEM extended battery..
The vzw one won't fit.. you could always just buy a after market battery with the same mAh tho

Except aftermarket ones don't have the same MAh.
If I were to purchase the Seidio 3800mAh extended battery and put it into my Sprint Galaxy Nexus, would I be able to put on a tpu case meant for the original size phone if I didn't use any back cover?

No?.....get the Verizon 2100 it's fits under the stock casing.

I have the Verizon battery and its not enough. I want more capacity but don't want to have a bulky phone.

FO REALZ!?
That's awesome to hear. Now I know which battery I'm getting. I don't like using anything other than OEM and I don't like extended covers, especially since I'm getting an Otterbox Defender.

Does the Sprint 2100 mah OEM extended battery + cover fit the Verizon Nexus?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The battery does, the cover has different tabs. You can use your stock cover with the extended battery. It's a snug fit though.

Are you sure? I don't want to stuck with a battery I can't use...

False till proven.
Beamed from my Maguro.
The battery is the same but the cover is just a bit different.

So does the verizon stock cover work with the sprint extended battery like Mike is claiming?
Yes it does

1) Battery from either networks will fit phone on either networks.
2) Cover from sprint needs to have a slight modification to one of the tabs to fit (i did this myself with a dremel). I've never tried the other way around because I don't have a Sprint Gnex
Just dug up the link for someone else, so I figured I'd post the eBay listing for both versions while I have them pulled up.
This is the same back cover as was on the Galaxy Nexuses given out to Google employees on Christmas 2011.

The listing pics make the doors look like extended battery doors.... Are they?

Unfortunately no. :/ I've heard of people who have managed to get the stock extended battery to fit though. Next week I'll be ordering the 2100mAh extended battery and seeing what luck I get.
Yes the standard door fits just fine. Running it now.

Hi guys.
Does anybody know a good case, that would fit the gsm version with extended OEM battery?
I have now the SGP Ultra hybrid, but it`s not a perfect fit. The sides are not in the right place. Maybe there`s a case that will fit perfectly.
Share your experience please.
Thanks :highfive:

Invalid link.
I've searched here, didn't find answer to my question .
So, i'm asking for personal experience. Maybe a Verizon case should fit, to a Gsm gnex with an extended battery?
I use an otter box from Verizon nexus for my gsm nexus with the extended battery. Fits perfectly with the 2000 mah battery.
