Does anybody know any cases that will fit over a Gnex with a 3500mah extended battery? A generic Chinese one?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr.Mischief:
Check Seidio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DerAmi:
Yeah,I didn't know if it'd work with just a generic 3800mah that I bought from Amazon.

Momax iCase Pro Black combined with Nillkin Antiglare Screen Protector is a perfect match for Galaxy Nexus. Love it so much! :)

i got the capdase case tpu case. it fits with 2000mah extended battery/back cover.

http://www.capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid=1&bid=26&mid=1995&pid=20266

all buttons working and fits well, doesn't feel as it its too tight. i like it cause the back has somesort of rubberish grip. instead of the cheap tpu feel.

Been meaning to ask, what is the best material for "face down" drop protection, is it Thermoplastic PolyUrethane (TPU), PolyCarbonate (PC), Hybrid (TPU+PC), or Dual Layer (PC+Silicone)??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
Got my case. It looks good and feels very smooth. Here are the pics. The coating is going to wear off with time though.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kadajawi:
The last part is worrying me. So it is slippery to hold, but it is hard to get out of the pockets? Seriously? That sounds a bit daft... My cheap TPU case is easy to get in and out of the pockets, but it sticks to the hands. Perfect. I am just worried that the drop protection isn't good enough (haven't dropped it yet though, I would have dropped my HTC Magic 50 times by now). But if I am going to drop Otterbox, and not the TPU (thus never endangering it), then I think the money is wasted on the Otterbox.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StardustOne:
The Momax iCase Pro model ICP10 for the i9250 also works with the Samsung Extended Battery. It even gives you a little bit of the original case nose back :).

The case can be ordered on ebay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Driosenth:
the Trident Kraken works excellently with the extended battery. The hard shell holds together better than the Otterbox Defender but lacks a hard shell on the corners and a screen cover that attaches to the front half of the hard shell. (It comes with a separate dry applied screen protector.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JCreazy:
Does anyone know if the official mesh vent case will fit the GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus with the oem 2000mah extended battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kadajawi:
From what I gathered the Otterbox Commuter is great... except that the screen protector doesn't cover the whole glass (though that is impossible anyway...), and that it is a ice hockey puck. It will just glide across flat surfaces...

The Case Mate Tough is also nice... but it may or may not fit. If it doesn't Case Mate will send you a new one, but that may not include cases bought in Europe and used in Asia (i.e. shipping address for them would be SE Asia).

Incipio Silicrylic is another decent case... but it does wear out quite fast, and the lip around the screen seems to be rather flat, not raising it enough (I am less worried about the back of the phone than the front...).

Ballistic SG offers great protection, but I am worried that the bulk is a bit too much (why not a silicon case with only a TPU shell? Just skip the plastic which does not do much to protect the phone anyway). Also the silicon in the corners seems to be great for hanging onto the pocket etc. (then again it offers protection exactly where it is needed).

Does anyone know how the Commuter compares with the Ballistic in terms of size? Photos?

And how much drop protection does the Cruzerlite offer compared to these 2 and 3 layer cases? What is the thickest TPU case you can get? Usually TPU cases are concerned with size, but I reckon a decently thick TPU case will offer great protection.

Btw., anyone know the Empire cases? http://www.amazon.de/EMPIRE-Google-...r_1_13?s=ce-de&ie=UTF8&qid=1344239086&sr=1-13

3 (!!) for 7 Euro or so is an extremely good price, compared to around 10 for the Case Mate Tough (where I have the suspicion it is the old version that doesn't fit) and 20+ for Incipio Silicrylic and Otterbox Commuter. Looks like the Ballistic imitation that was mentioned here earlier (I believe... have done way too much research)... unfortunately only the 2 layer version. Is it any good? If only I could test these cases... it would make things so much easier. Unfortunately all I can find here are cheap TPUs and SGPs (and also only the TPU ones...).

Oh, another question, maybe the most important one: How does the slipperiness of the Commuter compare with a normal glossy TPU case? If it is similar, then I am ok with it. If not... :(

Slimmest full-covering case

Can you folks recommend me the thinnest case between these three that fits with the official Samsung extended battery: Diztronic TPU Rev. 3, SPG NeoHybrid, and SPG UltraHybrid?

I've done some substantial research on slim cases on these forums using the search function and found a lot of information; some say that the Neo/Ultra Hybrid fits with the extend battery, some say that it doesn't. Anyone know for sure?

I know that the Ringke Slim is the king of slim cases, and it does look sexy, but it does not cover the sides which is a major pet peeve for me. I want a full case that covers all sides and has extending lips, while being thin. Protection is not too important for me, I just want to keep it from scratching while maintaining that thin profile.

If you have another case in mind that fits this category let me know! Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceejay83:
Anyone notice the lack of different cases for this phone considering how popular it is? I have the diztronic tpu and there's really nothing else out there that is just as good. The most popular cases like the SGP and Ringke have their problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrone:
You all could try Momax iCase Pro both white and black one. It's also a hybrid case, PC on the back + TPU on the outer sides and lips.

Been using it for a week and love it. It has taller lips on the front to keep it touches surface much better than other cases, but some people hate taller/thicker lips since it hinders your thumb when navigating through the edge of the screen. It slim, not slippery, and at 32C ambient temperature doesn't get too hot, feels slighty warm when using 3G connection but that's normal, great to hold in arms, slide in and out of your jeans' pocket, and above all it's way cheaper than SGP Ultra Hybrid :)

update info on momax icase pro for galaxy nexus i9250 black, it's compatible with samsung official extended battery 2000mah. fits perfectly in hand, adds build quality perception 'cause of the added minimal weight on it.

Anyone know if this will fit the galaxy nexus from verizon with extended battery:

http://www.amazon.com/RUGGED-RUBBER...8-3&keywords=verizon+galaxy+nexus+rubber+case

Update: Seller just emailed me back and doesn't know.

If the issue is with the door vs the battery, then sans door I would expect it to fit as the original vzw holster case does,.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shreddintyres:
if the seller doesnt know that about his own product id steer clear of it. Doesn't speak much to the quality of the case, nor does it say much about the seller. If you are looking for a solid rugged case i would suggest you look twoards those that are well proven like the Trident Kraken, Otterbox options, or casemate options. yes they do cost more, but the quality of the cases is definitely appreciable.

incipio feather with extended battery....

i just got the extended battery deal in the mail yesterday and tried a few configurations:

- extended battery with new cover + feather = very poor fit, edges of the feather do not hold onto the phone well at all

- extended battery with old cover + feather = way to tight a fit, one of the snaps will not hold, feather fit like above

- extended battery without any cover + feather = good fit like with stock battery, however, the is a gap around the camera and flash that could lead to a lot of dust collected in the battery space

what i might do is take the extra cover i have, cut it in two right under the sprint logo, and use the top part on the phone to prevent the dust issue, but still have the extended battery uncovered to allow the feather to fit.

SGP Ultra Capsule

I have bought an SGP Ultra Capsule. It's fits perfect on my GNX GSM with extended 2000mAh battery. But the case itself it a magnet for fingerprints, it's drive me crazy. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheShackSpecialist:
So I just got the extended battery for the Sprint Galaxy Nexus and discovered that although the body glove case that Sprint sells (Blue and Black) fits that if you try to remove it you will find it is stuck so under no circumstances use the Body Glove case with the Sprint extended battery unless you feel like replacing your back housing because you're going to scratch it up.

I did however find that the the white casemate they sell is pretty good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmallen3:

Kraken A.M.S. Case??

Does anyone know if a "Kraken A.M.S".Case will fit a Galaxy Nexus(LTE) with a Samsung extend battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanishere:
So I just got this case from ebay for $19ish shipped. I had to bend the metal frame (top unit) in order to get it to fit correctly, and I lost one of the screws (thank God for extras that came with the case). The cutouts for all the ports are spot on. I do like it tho! Never seen anyone else with this case on their gnex or other device.

The case feels like it will take a beating. Hopefully it wont have to. I was using an otterbox commuter before this which is probably still a superior product, but i like the uniqueness of this case.

Here are some photos:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asianboy9:
The case in the video is the Rearth Ringke Slim, I just bought my second one as it's a great case.

I have the GSM galaxy Nexus and my original gsm Ringke slim case didn't fit when I bought the extended battery.

However, I recently bought the 4G /LTE case (for verizon/sprint) which is a perfect fit for the GSM nexus with extended battery!

There have been others who can also confirm this, including earlier in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
I do know it fits the Google GNex GSM with Samsung OEM extended battery just fine.

You might want to verify the dimensions between the GSM and CDMA phones with the extended battery if you can. Google searched I did stated that it worked with the GSM extended, and a couple implied that it works with the LTE version as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvc1972:
The extended battery fits the Trident Kraken with no gaps. The only issue I have with the case is that the hard shell doesn't provide much grip. I like the feel of my Otterbox Defender with the silicone rubber. Feels more secure in hand.

I'm going to get the Seidio 3800mah extended battery. I just haven't seen much of a difference in battery life with the 2100mah compared to the stock one.

Anything fit the Mugen 4000mah Extended Battery (VZN)? The battery is kind of big but its the backing that makes it huge :( , is there some other alternative for backing I could try? What if I didn't use the backing but with a case? Is there a risk to that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FPSRocketeer:
this is bull****...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] st0650:
really liking the Skinomi Carbon. Only problem I have is that you have to place it on there perfectly or it will curve out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterkamon842:
So whatever happened to the SGP Ultra Hybrid version? That's the one I've sticked with since trying a bunch of others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seshsud:
so the diztronic case started to turn soft near the volume rocker and power button *sigh*...past 30 days so no refund either. Ordered the ballistic case...case is pretty good however on the volume rocker side and on the top too much silicone is exposed without the casing (which makes the phone soft on the edges...ideally all 4 sides should be protected with hardshell and the corners with silicone :(...

I dont know what to do now...return this and get a better case, if so which one...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vincentistan:
you should try the spg ultra capsule series, its very simple but looks good and offers great protection. All 4 sides are a relatively hard tpu material
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Just got the Commuter in for my Nexus. Before this I wore the Defender for some months and the Kraken for some months. It feels good to have a less bulkier case again, I had a commuter for my Atrix and for my Captivate. I do have the ext battery from VZW, I just removed the door and the case seems to fit perfect.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
Bummer this thread isn't more concise about which cases are the best for fit, finish, reliability, cost, .... No doubt it's difficult to capture important details from brief anecdotal stories.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hshaikh:
Hi

I thought Ive give my input, since, If a case is good for me it will probably be good for most. I am really anal retentive when it comes to my phones, I want build and fit on the cases to be 100% perfect. I often notice defecst of less than 1mm that my friends think im crazy to bring up.

To date I have tried the following

- cheap TPU cases,

- otterbox commuter

- casemate pop case.

so i did not like the otterbox commuter, made the phone feel clunky and cheap. returned it after just 2 days. and i noticed the silicone was not the same thickness all the way around the phone so the fit was not 100% (very minor mind you, mayybe 1 mm difference). also this case made the power button very annoying to use.

Chinese cases, well most dont fit well, I only got them cause they were cheap and can get nice colours.

Case mate pop is the best case I have ever used in my life. fits nice and tight (feels a part of the phone) and the buttons were just as easy to press as when the phone is naked. I would highly recommend everyone to get this case. just make sure you get the newer version with a hole for 2nd mic and bigger usb opening. I have the new version but i heard people had problems with the older ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dany16v:
Does case mate pop fits with extended battery? I'm going to buy white version because I'm afraid about scratches of black version :(

Is this cover durable?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvc1972:
My thoughts are...if you want extended battery life get large capacity extended battery like Seidio's 3800mah. Defender and Kraken fit with the 2100mah. But the 2100mah doesn't make much of a difference. Other than those two...the others don't fit correctly. Bottom line.

is this case good enough ? i like the water drop design, it makes my phone looks cool

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peikojose:
I'm thinking in getting the Galaxy Nexus, price is nice.

I'd buy this version "Samsung I9250 Galaxy Nexus 16GB" that is GSM, which extender battery will work why that model?

I understand that the i9250 is not LTE, so, I cannot use the LTE extender battery from Samsung?

I'm confused, please help me!

Best regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nav200:
here's a review of the case

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFjlSrzLm8Q
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pattywak:
Is the Imak case a hard plastic case? Or is it something like TPU? Also, you said it overhangs a little on the corner with the extended battery but it was a little hard to see in the video. Have any up close images of how bad it is? From the look on the volume rocker and power button cutouts it seems like it fits the extended battery well, but I was just wondering about that problem with the corner that you were speaking of.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nav200:
lol it wasn't actually me who made the video but I can answer your questions because my friend has the same case with the extended battery. It's a hard plastic case, yes it only bulges out slightly but not too revealing and it fits very well with the extended battery. The only problem of course is that the corners/ends aren't protected fully so if you do drop it at an angle, you'll ding it. Otherwise it's a great looking case and very minimal which some people like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pattywak:
Thanks for the response. I'm interested in how the corners look with the extended battery... I'll hit up a comment in the video and see what's up.

Hello ,

I'm looking for a slim case for my GSM Nexus. I want the case to be slim, to follow the 'bump' on the back, and to cover all corners. Any ideas?

I would prefer to buy it from amazon ( britain, germany, france). Max price 25 €.

Are there any basic, cheap, preferably black cases that will go around the Galaxy Nexus GSM Phone and 3500mah extended battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laur3n.newm4n:
Just wanted to add my experience with one of the cases in the OP. I got the Incipio Feather case for my CDMA/LTE Galaxy Nexus with the 2100 mAh extended battery. It will not fit at all with the extended battery door on the phone. It fits okay with the standard battery door on over the extended battery. What really works is not having a battery door on over the extended battery, and just having the case on. I laid some electrical tape over the battery to keep it snug in the phone in case I do drop it, and everything won't explode all over.

I like the case because it's more grippy than the plain phone, and I like the black look better than the gray.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shad0wguy:

I'm using a case mate case, it makes the phone bigger, the price is to high for it's quality
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lahin:
I never heard of this case before, but thinking of purchasing one after reading your post. Does it add a lot of bulk to the phone? If it's not asking too much, could you please post a couple of pics? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shad0wguy:
It doesn't add much more bulk. If you've had a fitted case before, it's about the same. I'll try to get pics for you, but being my phone is my primary camera it might be a bit tricky.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Links would help too. A quick Google search has the grasp as a TPU case. They also make slider cases but I don't know if it works with the extended battery. Some people say yes but its a more permanent solution because it won't come off. Lol.

I really just want a slim hard case. Right now I'm using a Casemate slim, but the bottom half doesn't fit right. I've been using it for months now and it does the job but doesn't hold the phone secure enough.

I loved the Rinkge Slim but they don't make the silver color anymore and its expensive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Phone_Logic:
Cruzerlite cases are good. It fits some extended batteries, with cool designs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
They are cool cases but they are TPU cases and thus have a raised border around the screen which makes it a pain to use and clean. They are very nice cases though, I have a few laying around, just not for me.

I had a Ringke Slim and it was great but my phone was stolen. Now I'm using a CaseMate Slim which snaps on, and works ok using the extended battery + standard door, but it it wearing out and also is raised at the bottom where the battery is pushing on it a little. It also doesn't sit 100% correctly.

I've love another Ringke but can't find one to buy. Also $30 is a little tough to chew off too. Anyone have a Ringke Slim laying around that is in decent shape willing to part ways for a few bucks?

Update:

I just bought a Incipio Feather from Amazon for $7 + FS.

Both the CaseMate and Incipio Feature are both supposed to work with the extended battery + standard plate.

and

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=12919&accessoryId=49873

The first one fits loosely therefore adds some more volume, but does not interfere with the edge to edge screen protectors. The second one fits tight and interferes with edge to edge screen protectors. Personally, I like tight.;)
