Hey guys,
So I got 2 things going on on this thread...first of course Im doing my review on the Body glove Icon. Pretty decent case, but the price is kinda high specially when other companies have some better quality cases for less price.. Full review here

Verify nice review. Does this fit the Verizon CDMA model with extended battery?
--Edit--
Well, I answered my question doing some searching. Looks like it doesn't fit with the extended battery
yes .It doesnt it fits the gsm extended but not the lte extended
thank you for your kind words
OK. The title says it...
I've become a huge fan of having an extended battery pack on my Note. The battery lasts almost all day with constant use. It's awesome.
My only problem is that I hate to roam around with a $700 phone that has NO case. I even used a razor blade and cut up a silicone case to "create" a bumper to protect the edges. However this hack isn't ideal.
I'm using the Hyperion Extended 5000 mah battery and I'm hoping to find a suitable case or bumper that will work with it. Has anyone tried using the Hyperion or another extended battery with a bumper on the market? Has it worked?
I've read in many other threads that people are looking for the same thing... However no one's made a thread about it.
Please post if you've found one or are also looking for one!
Mine should be here in 3 days. Also would like a good case for it. If not, I'll buy a sleeve for it
How u liking that massive battery? Feel like getting one since they are under 20 bucks.

I really like it. The size would probably bother most people, but I'm 6'5 and it doesn't bother me at all. Just wish I could find a quality case for it.
I'm sure Hyperion will make a case for the extended battery like they always do. But they're always ugly imo. No case is as pretty as my zenus capsule
Does anyone know some good cases with build in battery for the SGN like the mophie juice pack air or plus. I searched the internet but didn't find anything like that. I also emailed powerskin a few days ago, but I have yet to hear back if they are ever going to make a case for the Nexus.
(Verizon btw)
Hi everybody,
This is my first topic in this forum, but I have already read you lots of time and you were very helpful for me. I have a problem with my Galaxy nexus, for work I travel a lot, but I’m not able to reach evening with the phone turn on. I do not want to change the inside software with a mod application, so I decide to buy an extended battery. I live in Italy and the only one avaible for my phone is an Mtec battery. There are lots of review in the net about it, and they are quite good. With the extended battery the old TPU cover can’t fit properly, so I need a new one. I looked about a “Hyperion Samsung Galaxy Nexus Extended Battery HoneyComb TPU Case”, and it seems good , so, have someone use this cover with a standard internation extended battery (not yperion, Anker, Qcell battery)?
Regards,
Sorry for my English , It isn’ t my mother language

I own and like mine.
It will last about 14 hours using GPS / maps, heavy network use and some browsing during lunch. Also have the "Hyperion TPU Case" - search ebay for bundled deals. I really like still having 20% battery left when I get home and not carrying a car-charger AND a spare battery.
I purchased the Hyperion battery and absolutely love it. I also ordered two cases with it. Instead of the Hyperion case, I got the Trexcell tpu case for the galaxy nexus and 3800 mah battery; reviews were better, and I can verify that it is a good fit. I also got the Seidio extended Convert Combo, and love it.

Love the battery. Hated the case. Took a knife to it and exposed the power and volume buttons. Now it's good.

That was why the TPU case that I got (along with the Seidio) was the one from Trexcell instead of Hyperion. The Trexcell TPU case has the buttons already cut out. The Trexcell is quite nice, although I've hardly used it since trying the Seidio extended convert combo.

Sorry if I never answer before, but working is killing me....
I look about Trexcell TPU case on amazon, and from pictures, it seems it' s not a flexible cover, but a rigid cover, can you confirm this, or am I wrong? Thanks

No... The Trexcell TPU is a typical TPU case. Somewhat flexible, but stiffer than rubber or silicone. It's actually quite nice for the price.

I didn't actually purchase them together as a combo. Just bought the items at the same time on Amazon:
Battery: http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Extended-Compatible-SCH-i515-CAPABILITIES/dp/B007C8XRJY
Trexcell case: http://www.amazon.com/Trexcell-Tran...ermarket/dp/B007XWP788/ref=pd_bxgy_cps_text_z
Seidio extended Convert Combo: http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-BD4-HKR4SSGNLX-Convert-Extended-Holster/dp/B0076MI9F8
Very happy with all three items.
Hi everybody, at last I bought seido extended tpu case, and the battery is a very cheap MTEC 3800 mha.
The cover fixes properly, so thanks everybody for help!
im thinking about buying the seidio battery door with the draco flare red bumper
i read that they compatible with each other but i want to be absolutely sure that they actually are since the bumper isnt that cheap..
so it would be nice if some1 can confirm this for me also a pictures are always welcome!!
Not mine but I found this.

That picture conveniently crops out the two corners where the bumper comes together so I would be careful using that photo as evidence of a good fit.
On a side note, I'm using the Draco with Samsung genuine extended and I'm very happy with the fit and how it looks. I posted photos in the thread for that battery.

any white covers available for draco?
Thank you for this thread! Been upgrading my s3. I like my tech to look good the way people like good looking cars. So I also decided to go with the draco. Overkill but no other cases looked as good.*happy to see how handsome your draco-seidio rig looks.
Wondering if anyone knows of a white extended battery back to fit with the Draco? The seidio extended cover doesn't seem to come in white or other colors (waiting on an email from them to verify).*
The one thing my kick ass Draco look needs (after finding a white back) is a kick stand. Does anyone know if the white mugen kickstand cover work with Draco? I suspect it does not - the Seidio has what looks like a step down near the outer edges which is close to "stock" thickness. The mugen is thick all the way to the edge. File it down maybe? I'm lazy. .prefer no modding.
Any advice appreciated.* White extended battery covers thin enough for draco with a kickstand* dont seem to exist. .. done lots of searching!* I would settle for no kickstand i suppose.* but really want white (preferably with larger battery than the Samsung brand extended battery cover which does look good so I may have to settle for that )
To see the mugen see their website at

Seidio does have a white battery cover, i did purchase it a few months ago i will look for the link when im home because you wont find it directly on their website. I dont know any battery cover with kickstand which is compatible with draco bumper

greetings! Thanks for the response! I love xda.
So after some back and forth with seidio they claim the extended door is available in colors even though amazon and their own site don't show colors. They say i have to voice call to special order the white or other color door. So this is great news.
Before I order i need to confirm some things if you would be so kind. Firstly, in other xda posts this battery door is the one listed as draco compatible:
BVY35SSGS3
However seidio's site doesn't return a match on this part number when you do an internal site search, though if you search via google you get a link to a forgotten page on their website with no image... interesting. This item is about 15$.
Now I also see this door on seidio's site:
Product Code: CSR5SSGS3-BK
Which is called the "surface" . is this comparable to the one listed above? it's double the price.
their site also has a kickstand model which I am hoping will work. I know you don't know for sure but looking at the screenshots they provide what is your best judgement? Do you think it would fit? It has the step down design near the edges but still looks a little thicker. Maybe I could still squeeze the draco around it??
DILEX™ Extended with Metal Kickstand for use with Seidio Innocell® 3500mAh Super Extended Life Batteries - Black
MSRP: US$34.95
Product Code: CSK3SSGS3XK-BK
Finally, should I just go with the innocell 3500mah battery they sell or do you recommend another battery brand to fit this door? I'm ok with not having a zerolemon 7000 battery.
I appreciate anyone's help
