Just got this phone and love the battery life with the extended battery, but I really would like to put a case on my phone to protect it. Does anyone with the extended battery + larger back cover have case that works?
I searched around and I haven't been able to come up with anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It's a long shot, but have you considered contacting Seido? Maybe they would know.

Yeah I did and they said they didn't make one at this time. I remember seeing someone saying they stuffed it into a case meant for the regular backing, but I don't remember the name of the case and can't find it again.
I haven't looked into it, but does the new Galaxy Nexus have the same layout as the Nexus S? If so, I might try and see if there is an extended battery case that fits it.

Hi!
I just got my extended battery that i orderd from expansys, its the original extended battery.
But there is one anoying thing tough, the new little thicker backcover seems to slip of every now and then, it's like it doesnt go in to place when you press it down.
Is there anyone else with the same problem with this new cover?
the case back is the same for my best buy bought us diamond. it slips sometimes. doesn't click in.

Hmm ok, because i talked to expansys and they said that none had complained about this before, so the told me that i should send it back and get at new one from them...
difference between battery casebacks
I purchased a boxwave 900mAH battery and an oem case back to make my US diamond thinner. The smaller battery back does not come off without a lot of effort... have to push down hard, push, etc... the bigger oem caseback for the 1340mAH battery easily slips off. just a firm nudge will do it. So I think if they ship a new caseback to you it will still do the same thing. it is not even close to being as tight as the smaller case back.

This is only one i found on ebay. I was going asking if anyone has tried this yet.
There are 2 types, that I know of.
One like the link above, and one that is full across the back
I got the second type of back, (link) for $12, as I like how it adds protection for the camera lens
I got the battery from here, (link) and it comes with a the first type of back for $18
I don't mind how it thickens the phone, and it actually makes holding when I type on the hw kb a lot more comfortable.
With the 3500mv battery, I was able to have my Epic OC'ed to 1.4GHz, brightness set to 100%, have BT, WiFi, GPS, & 4G on all day, and use the phone normally, and the battery still was over 48% when I got home from work, 10 hours later.
If the price for that is a little extra thickness, I will take that any day. Espically since I can always put the stock battery and back on if I want to use the slim profile for some reason.
Whoops...the link i posted was for a phone cover with the extended battery, not the battery cover. When you buy an extended battery from the same ebay seller he includes the battery cover. This is the case to protect the phone.

The case is ok but right now moretalktime is making a updated version that makes the access to button layouts better. I currently have it but im sending back in and waiting for the updated version since the case blocks some basics features like the speaker and the mic hole.
Can't one use the clip in holster where the face of the phone is facing the holster nd the back of the phone faces outward? A holster similar to the one used with the Seidio Active X cases?

I got tired of the extra bulk and ended up replacing it with an extra OEM battery. I'm keeping it around incase I go on a road trip however.
edit: Nevermind. I just reread your original post
Well you know what they say about guys with huge phones....
They have really good battery life

Yes...the hip belt clip case by Eddie Bauer sold at Best Buy works great with the extended battery.
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. .

What I need is a charging/extended battery type case with a flip cover (that bit is easy) BUT I need to be able to insert my phone intact with the original battery cover still on. All the ones I have seen so far one has to remove the battery cover before inserting the phone.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks

I believe anker also makes this type of extended battery "case" you're looking for.
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
Anker requires battery door removal to install. There is a slim batt in the case and a normal sized one included that has extra contacts for the case battery.
Still pretty slick looking. Its Anker, you can't go wrong.

I don't know if I would trust a $20 battery case from China though.
Anyway eBay has a bunch. Whether you can trust them or not is a completely different story.
