Hi,
I have been using this battery for a week now and I like it so far.
The problem is my phone now does not fit in the old case I had.
Where can I find cases customized for a nexus one with an extended battery
Thanks,

I stuff mine in the pouch the phone came with.
But, it has fallen sometimes when I take it out.
I do need a case

Hi
I recently purchased an extended battery off amazon from a third party seller to get more life out of the bolt and ran into serious data issues.
In a 4g area, my data was non existant and constaly droping to 1x or nothing. Called up tech support and they narrowed it down to a sim card issue. Afterwards i compared the cases on my original battery and the extended and noticed the extended case did not have the metal contacts that the original case has.
After going back to the original battery and case, i was instantly on 4g and have yet to get any sort of data problems. Now i am looking into getting the official extended battery and case from verizon as i hope the metal conatcs are there.
Anyone else have similar issues?
I just received my thunderbolt and spent the last 24 hours in frustration until I read your post. I took out the 3500 mah battery and put back the stock battery with stock cover, and 4g is working fine now. Anyone know if the covers for the seideo extended batteries have these metal contacts?
From what i understand is that the phone antenna is in the back cover. The HTC official 2750 has 4 metal contacts in the back. Not sure on Sedio.
I use the official extended battery and have no issues. You get what you pay for.

Yep.
Just ordered mine from the Verizon store for $40 shipped. Good thing I can return the battery I bought to amazon.

Any experience with the powerskin? Any other alternatives? I really am looking for a case with extra battery and not just extra batteries or a different back cover. I like the idea of a case/battery combo.

I know some people who use it and it works for them but a lot of the reviews say it stops charging after a few months...
For the same price you can get the sedio 3800mah battery (60$ ) and then get the case for the extended battery also from sedio (20$ ) which might be a little bit more reliable..
Iirc, the phone won't deep sleep with the powerskin. You don't even need a battery that big. Nexus extended is far more than enough. You don't need one at all. I run 24 hours plus on stock with over 5 hours screen on, gtalk and text all day, emails, fb, weather, words with friends, stream music, and more.
With the nexus extended I'd need a new cover? If so, are there cases that accomdate for the new back cover?

You don't need a new cover. The battery might fit great, it might bulge. definitely didn't need a new case and my cover does bulge slightly

That battery is awesome. I've had it for two days now. I am a moderate to heavy phone user, and it is sitting at 43% after 15 hours of being unplugged. 40% of that is screen time.
I had the power skin, worked great for awhile but now the USB cord on the bottom to connect to the phone stopped working. I could probably have it serviced under warranty but....yeah don't want to bother it wasn't that good

I am on my 4th Powerskin for my SR in less than two months. They either die and stop working or the charging port gets worn down so it only makes contact when you hold it and put pressure on it. It is realistically about an extra 75% added to your battery, but your phone uses it to stay 100% charged so none of your battery saving features work. Would recommend a larger replacement battery over a case battery. I ended up buying extra andido batteries off amazon and plan on giving that a try over this.
I bought it at AT&T so they keep giving me replacements but will not give me a refund.
Do not recommend.
On my 2nd powerskin and it along with the 1st one stopped recharging......waste of time. Plus it makes it bulky.
I went through two of them. The last one overheated my phone and killed it :-( at&t gave me a new phone and I changed to an otter box.

The reason people don't like it is because it sucks for an "extended" battery. You can get another one almost 1000mAh bigger for the same physical size.
Which one would u recommend

I haven't tried any but from others' recommendations I would say hyperion 3500mah with the OEM extended cover (as the hyperion one cracks)

Samsung extended is like 2600 so hyperion is like 1000 bigger. Just search this forum for it.

Has anyone had any luck finding decent cases (even TPU) for the OEM extended cover? Amazon's got some kinda-crappy silicon cases for the Trexcell extended battery, but I'm not really a fan.
I have both the OEM extended battery and the Hyperion's. The Hyperion is 3500mAh and the OEM is 2600mAh, however the Hyperion is slightly thinner by a hair, and it runs cooler and has a much longer battery life. You won't have any problem fitting the Hyperion under the OEM extended battery case which is made of a better quality plastic than the Hyperion's that comes with the battery.

Hyperion Experience
I just ordered the Hyperion through Amazon and the case for it as well. I'm amazed! Took this phone from one that I can barely make it through 12 hours with minimal use and having GPS, data and wifi off except when I MUST have it (i.e. at lunch) to a totally new level where I have all services running throughout the day and extensive use without a charge for 12+ hours. Should have expected it - the battery has the same capacity as the Razr MAXX.
In reference to the case... Meh... I had the silicone one that I bought through Verizon on day one of owning this phone and it was a nice one. Felt good in the hand, lasted nearly 2 years (still works but not on the extended cover) and protected the phone from my occasional oafish drop. The one I have from Hyperion feels cheap (I guess because it is...), but does its job - I've dropped it a couple of times and had no issues. Only real issues I do have is 1) this case covers the hardware buttons on the bottom. With EP1, EP4 and FP1, this wasn't an issue as the backlighting worked randomly at best. With the FP5 update, I've found that the backlighting appears to function properly and the new cover precludes that. 2) the charging port's cutout was too small for the charger. Initially, I just pulled the cover down and charged it that way but who wants that? UGLY! So... That's what a razor blade is made for... I cut the hole bigger (carefully!) and have had no issue since.
I believe that will be my solution for the covering the hardware buttons backlighting as well...
I just purchased an extended battery for my Nexus S 4G, this one specifically:
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innocell-3500mAh-Extended-Battery/dp/B0053735IY
Now, I have no complaints with the battery, it's fantastic. However, the new back that it came with is very cheaply made, and I'm afraid it's going to break. I also don't really like the feel of the material.
Does anyone know of any cases that can fit a Nexus S 4G with an extended battery in it? I've been Googling around and have yet to find anything. I've pretty much just resigned to being careful with the back, but I figured I'd ask you all to see if anyone knows of something that will fit. I was using a silicone case before (tight fit, good to grip) but anything would pretty much be better than the back of this.
Thanks!
Did you have looked in Power-Skin?
I'd put the link but the system don't leave me... Because I have less than 10 post...
But one of my friend use it on a IPhone and he say its amazing...

You're probably not going to find any cases to accommodate the larger battery. Thats why I went a different route and got multiple 1500mah batteries. I keep one in my wallet just in case the one in my phone dies, I wind up with almost the same battery (3500mah extended vs 2 1500mah batteries) but get to use any case I want.

Hey folks,
I tried searching but could not find the answer. I am about to the buy the otterbox for my lovely G2. I love otterboxes but before I do, anyone know if an extended battery (like this one) would fit with the otterbox on it?
I assume not, based on prior experience the otterbox must be pretty tight but wanted to double check.
Thanks

Pysch. I just read that batteries' description and it seems it does not add any thickness to the battery. Has anyone proven/disproven this?
Also my original question still stands I think as I am still thinking of getting an extended battery. My G2 does last about 10 hours of normal use, but who knows when you might need the extra juice; better safe than sorry I think.
Anything that fits in our existing battery door will work with an Otterbox.
Seidio tends to work OK, though I prefer OEM batteries. HTC makes one for the EVO Design 4G that is 1520mAh and fits inside the G2 perfect as well.
Thanks.
And so is it safe to assume anything does adds even a little bit of bulk does not fit with an otterbox?

If the original battery door closes it should be fine. Any battery that needs its own battery door won't work with the otterbox.

Just want to add that as much as I love the otterbox, I have gone through 3 of them in a year and they are no longer in production so if it breaks you will not be able to get a replacement under warranty

Thanks for the heads up. I have ordered a cheap case from amazon but still desperately want to find an otterbox. Their cases are so amazing, it sucks there are so few out there for the G2. I am a mission now, seems every store online that lists it says its out of stock once you buy and send the money..
I wonder how good the battery life on seido batteries are, currently I'm using a 1520mah oem battery.

I've heard conflicting reports so good luck. I might try on eventually but I'm getting solid life out of stock for now. Finally found an otterbox on eBay and it's coming next week can't wait. .
