*** Updated ***

Just went through six pages of the cases w/ extended battery thread (up to post 57) and added a bunch of extra comments to the Extended Battery (LTE) list.

I'm basically trying to weed out all the non-informative comments and summarize every single thread about cases...if people could start posting/linking to this thread it would help me (and probably you and other members) out considerably

Hi,

The PDAir case is along the way of what I want but it has the annoying tab to close the case which is something I'd rather do without. The Iphone case I have is without the tab - it just flips close magnetically.

I use to have a case with a tab on my HTC HD2 and it was annoying. It also doesn't fit quite as well in the car mount.

Could we get someone to produce custom made cases in China?...just a thought...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pattont:
I am also interested in the Seidio case if it will fit with the extended battery. I bought and returned the Rocketfish case from Best Buy (which looks identical) to the Seidio one because it was such a tight fit when the front and back were snapped. It was like it was trying to come apart, but was VERY difficult to remove. I may just wait for an official solution from these manufacturers. With the price and great reviews everyone seems to be getting the extended battery. I mean the phone just feels better with it in there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raing:
I have the Diztronic TPU case and it fits my LTE nexus like a glove WITH the extended battery. I fit it without the extended battery for comparison, and it was virtually the same either way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeCore:
the seidio one is tight as well. it just plain won't snap closed with the extended battery cover and using it with the stock cover it closes, but it's tight. there's a feltish backing on the inside of the back of the case that you can maybe peel away and get an extra .25mm which might be just enough to relieve the excess tension

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I have a Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus with Extended battery.

I've tested the SGP Capsule Case, Casemate Barely-There, and Diztronic. Out of the 3, Diztronic is the only one that fits well enough to trust my phone with it using various battery door combinations.

SGP Capsule case is too shallow at the top, so the lips around the screen can't catch and protrude out. This also screws with the power and volume button alignment. This happens whether the battery door is used or not.

The Case-Mate Barely There is nice but will not work well with an extended battery at all unless you ditch the battery door cover all together. This sounds like it wouldn't be an issue but the camera hole doesn't fit the camera well enough for my comfort, so there is a pretty noticeable gap around the camera... and looks like crap like that. Even the standard battery door is thick enough to push the bottom up enough where the phone would easily pop out if dropped. The case felt loose like the sides weren't tight enough.

The Diztronic v3 is the only case that I found that not only fits the LTE Verizon + Extended battery well, but almost like it was made for it. Everything aligns and is a pretty tight fit. Getting the case off and on is a challenge but once on, I know it won't be popping off without it being intentionally. I bought a Smoke Matte (semi-translucent) that I like but I liked the Glossy Black of the SGP.

So I'm buying another Diztronic High Gloss Black.

So if anyone is looking for a Barely-There for a Verizon LTE with STANDARD Battery... or a Smoke Matte Diztronic v3 Case... send me a PM. I'll sell them pretty cheap.

evil jimmy those androidified cases look awesome.

Appreciate all the time people are putting into reviews. I'm using just extended battery with ghost armor carbon back on it, hasn't seem to really affect usage in any negative or positive manner. The back is definitely less slippery now though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juzz86:
I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on this case, as some f*cking idiot just bought one of these for his GSM model without reading the description :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
Haha, I did the same :P got it today! Fits perfectly! Great tough case for the money! Will have a review up either later today or tomorrow! :)

Just insert my GN with extended battey with the customized back case into my SGP Neo Hybrid shell.

It fits but not perfectly,The back of the shell (rubber) is quite weird when you hold it.

Anyway, I am waiting for some manufacturers who make new cases for those GN whose uses the extended battery back cover.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Slick-:
I was hoping case-mate would make a pop case with a kick stand like the GS2 as I need a more durable case than the one I currently have.

I got the following reply when I emailed them:

Thank you for contacting case-mate and your interest in our products. At this time, we do not have any specific information on when, or if, the item you are requesting might become available. Our product development team is always working on new products. I will gladly share your feedback/request with them!

Does the SGP hybrid fit with the extended battery (gsm version)??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ramalth:
There is a new case from SGP, the Ultra Hybrid. Just ordered one. Looks a lot like the Neo Hybrid, in fact, other than the glossy hardshell part in the Neo Hybrid, i dont think there's much difference...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheLurg1687:

Very nice review. Functionally similar to the Seidio Active and (more so) Incipio Silicrylic but cheaper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohammedessam:
I have the clear s-line case, bought it from ebay and its perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marcg611:
got the diztronic v3 as well, but don't think its gonna stop serious damage from a large fall..maybe if were lucky. If you broke 2.. you need a 2 piece case like a toughcase or defender. I'm still looking for a 2 piece..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Hmm. This is really interesting, too much people from my country Venezuela.

Hi to the Venezuelan folks, hehe :D

(sorry for the offtopic)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itch808:
Nice review! It's good to see a change from the same old diztronic/cruzer cases which gets boring.

How does the new case slide in out of pockets? Does the silicone grabbiness make it annoying? Has the kickstand "broken in" more and become easier to pop in and out?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
It does grab a bit of my pocket, but its not too much of an issue! It picks up a lot of dust though!

The kickstand is super easy to use now! Really good case!

CruzerLite Androidified Case for Galaxy Nexus: Android Accessory Review

videos are blocked at work but does the mesh case fit with verizon extended battery and door? i really like the look and colors of the case!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
I don't have a verizon nexus to test, but it's quite a tight fit with the gsm extended battery, so my guess is that it wont fit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
Just got an Otterbox Defender. Does anyone knows if it will block the NFC signal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
Nevermind. Figured it out...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idefiler6:
Just received my Diztronic rev 3. Confirmed fits perfectly with the 2100 mah extended battery on the LTE nexus. I actually really like how this fits. Only complaint is the free screen protector came with stuff stuck to it like hairs and little pieces of some gritty material and was not going on well even with a card so I had to toss it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redrapt0r:
Has anyone tried out these cases? Im digging the colors and overall look. And I need something to protect my phone!!

http://www.beyondcell.com/Ecommerce/General/BrowseCategory2.aspx?CategoryId=8699
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MissyO:
I have the white/purple on my phone now. It will definitely protect your phone as there is a lip that keeps your screen off the surface. It does add a little bulk to the phone but protection is more important. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redrapt0r:
How's the silicone? Is it a super dust magnet? And does it stay on the shell well? My biggest concern is the quality of the silicone, ive had a couple (Including the crappy incipio combo one from VZW) that have been less than stellar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MissyO:
I have had no issues with dust. Its not sticky, more rubberized. It does stay well, though its not super tight. There are "cut outs" on the hard shell that the silicone locks into. I hope that answers your question.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redrapt0r:
Hmmmm Interesting. Im tempted to get this. Im just a little skeptical about the fit of the silicone. Im looking at a few video reviews, and most looks good, just still a little skeptical :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itch808:
OP: Here are some updated cases with fitment

Standard Battery (CDMA)

Verizon TPU -- Fits perfect

Body Glove Hard Case (Slide-in) -- Fits perfect

Extended Battery (CDMA)

Verizon TPU -- Fits perfect even with extended battery cover, power button is just slightly closer to top edge of TPU case cutout. Power button is still quick and easy to find/press.

Body Glove Hard Case (Slide-in) -- Doesn't work with either standard or extended battery doors. It becomes very difficult to slide in/out ~1/2-2/3 of the way into the case. I personally wouldn't recommend forcing it in (I didn't!). It will work without any battery door and extended battery in. Normally I don't believe in this, but the felt back lining hugs the phone so much that it looks like it would provide at least a good seals as the plastic snap in doors. Plus it makes swapping batteries quick!

P.S. I'll post pics in another thread a bit later.

Got two white one for the same price. Do not fit the LTE Nexus (especially with the extended battery cover) properly and will bow out on both side, unless you're willing to go without the battery cover.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SSHGuru:
I want to design and make a case

I have and idea for a case - any idea where I can have it made? I've contacted some places in China and they all want $2500 for the mold which is ridiculous...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheKaz:
Let us know what you think. I was looking at these for my wife's Droid2, but in a video I saw, two things stood out (1) it seemed a lot bulkier looking in the video, and (2) it didn't support the slide-out keyboard when it was in the case...

I know (2) is not an issue for us, but (1) really surprised me. I'd be interested to hear a first-hand impression.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mengheng:
Anyone have any experience with the Incipio rubber type one? Not sure if I should get the feather one with no lip, or the rubber type one with a good lip. I'm just looking for a minimalistic design. I like the lip on one hand, but on the other hand the feather design just looks so slim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SSHGuru:
That's what I want is absolute minimalistic design. I have an idea for one but I can't find anyone who will make it. Maybe I'll try the Incipio rubber.... I dunno how more minimal it will be compared to my silicon now though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tcyeric:
i apologise if this has been mentioned before but i can't seem to find anything within XDA

I was wondering if anyone has tried the Noreve casing (http://www.noreve.com/langue/en/product/Samsung_Galaxy_Nexus_Tradition_C_leather_case.html). I like the fact that there is a 'gap' at the bottom so that i can see the notification light rather than take out the phone to check.

How is this case? Or are there any alternatives that offer the ability to keep the GN within the case yet be able to reveal the notification LED?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joelmic:
2500 is very low. Most charge 10000-35000. I am not sure how high quality a "$2500" mold will be. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SSHGuru:
I talked to a few - prices were from $2500 to $3500.

All I really want is a silicon bumper case. I want to see my phone and I don't need the back protected.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joelmic:
:p sorry I was think more of a complex case. That's about right for a bumper. Are you sure you want to make it from silicon?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SSHGuru:
The whole purpose as far as I'm concerned is creating a grip so you don't drop the phone.

The Galaxy Nexus is the most slippery phone I have ever used. I've dropped it on carpet and could imagine doing the same outside. I've never used a case before and I had the OG Droid and the Bionic...

The reason for Silicon is that it grips the best. TPU can be slippery and a hard bumper defeats the purpose.

Right now I'm using the Verizon Samsung Silicon Case and it has a very nice grip with no fingerprints. However I feel it makes the phone too bulky and I don't want all that silicon on the back of the phone.

I'm tempted to buy a cheap silicon phone and cut the entire back out to make a bumper... of course if I did that it would look terrible and probably wouldn't even stay on.

Since I don't have $3000 laying around I'll just have to wait for someone else to make one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joelmic:
I think SGP makes one but I am not sure what it is made from
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SSHGuru:
If you can find it can you provide a link - I've looked all over. There are a million for the SG II but nothing for the Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joelmic:
It may have been for the SG II. I can't seem to find it :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SSHGuru:
That's why I wanted to design and sell one. Would love a clear bumper so the phone would look naked but would allow a grip and some protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sabesh:

cruzer lite androidified coming in the mail so I'll see if those are slimmer!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SSHGuru:
Yeah I didn't like the diztronic either. Let me know how the others are - I'm looking for something thinner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheKaz:
Wow. I didn't feel this way at all about the diztronic...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SSHGuru:
I just got the clear one from Amazon - $3.45 including shipping 2 day.

I have the Verizon Extended and it "almost" fits.

It leaves a very small part of the top unprotected - the rest is protected. It's light and feels good in the hand.

You can adjust the fit by putting it in and out.

I haven't decided if it's better than the VZW silicon case which fits like a glove in black but I may try it for a few days - the price is right.

Would have been perfect if a little more coverage and completely clear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SSHGuru:
Note :

The plug hole for the charger does NOT fit with the standard plug.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] llavalle:
I can confirm that the Otterbox Commuter fits on the GSM model using the OEM Extended battery.

No need to remove the battery cover or anything. The plastic part does sits a little bit higher than before(less than 1mm) because the new battery cover does not have the same shape but it's hardly noticeable (see attached picture)

Does anyone have any experience with Boxwave cases? I like the look of one, but I've only ever used Boxwave's screen protectors in the past. Curious if it would fit the extended battery. Thoughts?

Edit: Went ahead and cancelled the order today. Ordered it last Wednesday, still "Pending Fulfillment" this morning. Had emailed them Saturday with questions about the order and hadn't heard back from them since.

Kinda glad tho, since last night a buddy of mine showed me this :

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0071QPIQC/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

Which has the pull tab functionality I was looking for without the secondary stripe color & hefty 50$ price tag Sena offered for their similar case.

Price was the same, 29.99 with FREE 2-Day Amazon Prime shipping, should receive it by Wednesday and will update with DSLR photos upon arrival.
