Extended Battery Cases

[Ciggy]

I know a lot of you are going to purchase the extended battery with 4g sucking out our power and the huge screen eating battery life the extended battery that barely adds any weight or thickness is great to pick up. Especially since I got mine from Verizon for only $25, not sure if it's still on sale.

With the phone my verizon rep gave me a box of goodies for free, screen protectors, a case, a holster and a car charger.

The case has been great, it has a fold out kick stand and has protected my phone from the one fall it has taken off the desk at work. The case no longer fits because the extended battery, even with the stock battery cover squeezed over the new battery the case still does not fit.

Does anyone have a case that fits?

If you come across one post it here!

Update!
Cases that reportedly fit (with ext battery):

1. CruzerLite TPU - Cruzer Lite : Samsung : For Samsung Galaxy Nexus SCH-I515
2. Incipio
3. Diztronic TPU - http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main...902d3d9c084d35cd90c1f4ea&keyword=galaxy+nexus
4. Silicone Verizon Case
5. OtterBox Commuter Case - small gaps still works
6. OtterBox Defense Case
7. Seidio Case - http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...dio-shipping-new-accessories.html#post3694811
8. Qubits Gel Case from Amazon
9. Casemate Pop


I will keep this thread updated as long as interest continues.

Bump: I'd like to know if anyone has found anything also. It's probably too soon to see any cases for the extended battery as of yet. I'm still optomistic though.

The CruzerLite TPU case I used with the standard battery works fine with the extended. No difference at all. The thickness difference of the phone with the extended battery is barely noticeable.

I agree none of the company's have probably developed a case for the extended yet but some may have had a little extra space, really hoping to find a case that fits with a kick stand. Ill keep hoping tho

@triplejnj - im in nj also, great that's one case on the list. The case I have DOES NOT fit anymore. Even tho its such a slight change.

The Incipio case that verizon sells fits with either battery. Not a bad case.

 

[Ciggy]

@tarpon can you clarify which Incipio case? Feather or Silicrylic?

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Cases, Samsung Galaxy Nexus Covers, Samsung Galaxy Nexus Accessories, Samsung Galaxy Nexus Protection, Galaxy Nexus Cases

The diztronic TPU case works fine with extended battery. Awesome case at a reasonable price. Adds very little bulk to the phone, has a matte back and the front is glossy to match the glass.

Just received mine today; ditto above.

The Verizon-branded silicone cover that they are selling in the corporate stores also fit perfectly fine with the extended battery. Using one myself.

The Diztronic fits as well, I have one of those too. Ultimately though, the Diztronic was way too slippery in the back for me, despite being an awesome case, hence why I bought the thicker silicone case from VZW

 

[Ciggy]

Ok it seems every so far that has a case that fits is using a silicone case. Makes a lot of sense these would work as silicone is easily stretched. Any one have a hard case that fits over my phone new back fat?

Qubits case from Amazon works fine without any problem.

I have the Otterbox Defender and it fits fine with the extended battery and the rear cover that came with it.

 

[ChiTownJim]

I just ordered a Casemate Barely There should get it thursday I will update on if it fits the extended battery

Any word on the Consumer Otterbox case?

I'm assuming you mean commuter? If so, I'd definitely like to know as well...

 

[ShakeAndBake]

... really hoping to find a case that fits with a kick stand.

Same here! Was bummed out when the case w/kickstand at the Verizon store didn't fit on the Gnex with the extended battery.

 

[monsterenergy22]

I can confirm the otterbox commuter fits with the extended battery. 2 of the corners have a slight gap, the other 2 corners fit just fine. Case still works perfectly though.

 

[Ciggy]

updated first post. please let us know when you guys receive your cases in the mail.

Thanks for this thread Ciggy, haven't gotten a case yet. I got the extended battery the day I got the phone and didn't even notice a change in the size. I wouldn't have even realized that not every case would fit if it wasn't for reading this. I was used to the extended battery on the TB which was so big it gave you an extra handle on the back lol...

I just ordered a Casemate Barely There should get it thursday I will update on if it fits the extended battery

I got the Barely There and if the battery or back is bigger than stock, there is no way this case would fit.

For those with working cases, please provide a link to where we can purchase (view pictures) of that case. Thanks!!

 

[javikid]

What about any of the case mates? I like their products.

+1 to all the Diztronic reports, I have the Matte Black case and it fits just fine over the extended battery and the door that came with it.

Per OP's request, here's a link: Diztronic Galaxy Nexus cases

the seidio surface case will work with the extended battery. see my post here for tips on how to make it work.
