I have a question about this Official Extended battery.
http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Samsung-Extended-Battery-3000mAh/dp/B00BMQ56QE/ref=cm_cd_ql_qh_dp_t
Will it work on an AT&T Galaxy S3 or is it made for unlocked/overseas versions?
Also, if it does work on my phone what good protection cases are out there that will fit my phone after this is used?
Thank you all
AJ
Yes it works on the all north american galaxy S3 phones, I have one.
One thing you should know is that if you take the extended battery cover off and on alot, it develops small cracks in the corners and you can't buy replacement covers, harmless but annoying

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).
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.
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.
Came across an article (i would post it if I could) while looking for extended batteries without getting a thick hard case to hold it.
I also saw the other thread with the $5 slim battery on amazon but keep telling myself that I should go with the OEM over the chinese third party.
Is there another battery I should look at or should this be fine if I need to get around 12 hours out of it with medium to medium-heavy use?

Just make sure it fits the T-989. I know that we can use batteries from the G-Nex and a couple of other phones, but I do not know about the Nexus S.

You are talking about Samsung Galaxy Nexus right? Will the Galaxy Nexus' extended battery fit in the Galaxy SII? Does it need a special Galaxy SII back cover?

The article says the battery fits in the battery slot, but the stock cover doesn't fit. He also said that if you had the case, you could just leave the back cover off and let the case protect it.

It will fit but you need a cover.
Hi there,
I know I'm a bit behind, just got my S4 Mini.... with the black shiny battery door cover (the only one Verizon offers ) and not liking how slippery it is and how much the fingerprints show on it.
Anyway, I've found quite a few battery door covers but they all call it a different version then what I have.
The model # on mine is SCH-1435 and the ones I can find are i9190, i9195.
I know those are GSM phones while mine is a CDMA but I was wondering if there's any difference in the size/shape. Would it fit if I got a battery door of a different version?!
Thanks!!

For my i9195 I bought the leather backcover from the black edition of s4 mini and it fits perfectly.

I really like it, it feels much better than the plastic back and it doesn't slide out of your Hands as easy as the plastic back. I don't know what you mean by number but here is the amazon link: http://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00KW9FAX6

Samsung Galaxy S4 i9195 vs. Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-1435
I messaged a rep at Samsung's website and she said they're the same... Just different carriers. Mine is US Verizon.
