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. .

Otterbox doesnt have a case for the N4 but the only case they have for LG phones is the Optimus G. I was wonder since is the same hardware would it fix?http://www.otterbox.com/lg-optimus-g-cases/lg-optimus-g-cases,default,sc.html
No it wouldn't fit. They aren't really even close:

(Look at the size specs in the chart)
I wonder if they are going to make one for the Nexus, I have used their cases ever since I first got a smartphone, excellent cases.

At the moment being the key words.
My understanding is that they pretty much always say that, right up until they do make one. I'm still hoping for one.

Don't be so sure, they never produced a case for the Nexus S, I used the Seidio Active for that handset and was glad Otterbox produced a case for the Galaxy Nexus.
They got one for the nexus 7 now, didn't have that for the longest time. What I don't get is how they had the iphone 5 and ipad mini cases ready at launch but it takes them 6 months for a nexus?

Because they know that their ROI (return on investment) will be high. iProducts tend to sell very well.
It's not a matter of Otterbox is having troubles making a commuter or defender case for the Nexus 4 or whatever device you want it on. It's a matter of the business perspective, they don't want to make a case if there isn't enough demand for it because they won't get a ROI back on it.

Well I know they'll make one its just when you need it now it sucks. They did eventually make with the nexus 7 case even though they said they had no plans to. In the meantime I ordered a diztronic, but might grab a commuter when it comes out if it's small and stylish like the galaxy Nexus case, probably won't if it's like my commuter on my Vivid... Very bulky and hard to touch the sides of the screen!

not even worth the time wasted waiting on them... on the other hand ballistic has shown initiative and even released photos of the case on their website
if anyone hasn't seen it; i really recommend taking a look!

Yeah I can't wait, need a case right away when I get the nexus 4, I ordered a ditztronic. They claim they aren't going to make one, but they are fos. My insignificant htc vivid, a mediocre lte phone slotted in to fill the gap between the inspire 4G and the one x has otterbox cases, in fact I am rocking the commuter on mine right now. If they'll make a case for the Vivid, they'll make a case for anything

I'm about over otterbox anyway, too bulky and ugly. You can't beat the protection but even the commutter I have on my vivid is big and ugly

Hence the if you feel so inclined. Not everyone likes otterboxes or bulky cases in general but given that the OP obviously wants one I figured I would post it. If you don't care about otterboxes, that's cool maybe the thread isn't for you.
Also be aware there are a number of styles of otterboxes and some are pretty slim. Everyone thinks of the defender but there are others such as the reflex and the prefix. It would also be nice if they made an armor case for it for those who want a waterproof case. Better chance of Otterbox than lifeproof on that one.

Case Mate Tough Case also is very good dropping protection, but sadly the don't support the n4 either
Yeah I say screw otterbox. They've been kissing apples ass too long, ridiculous all the options you can get for an iphone, where as an android phone you get black. And my commutter I had on my vivid was poorly designed with the screen bumpers being in the way of typing in portrait, and my proximity sensor never worked right with it on either.
There are plenty of nicer and more stylish options if you need a heavy duty case. So let otterbox get on with their apple love affair and buy another manufacturers case!

Was wondering if anyone had bought this case and if so do you like it. .. it gets great reviews on amazon but I've read some reviews on other flip cases that the clip makes the spen act up. .. I've never spent more than 20 on a case and this one is 45 on amazon or 39 through the Web site so just wanted to get some opinions before I bought it ...thanks

Yup already have, just waiting to see what else they have coming, along with anyone else.
Trouble is the masstige for the note 4 has a clasp which i hate.
For now i'll stick with the classic flip or ringke fusion.
Noticr most leather are flip. Looking for back type which is one color.
I really like the zenus cases for the old notes. ... anyone had one before? R they good?

I have the shop-leather case without the clasp. The leather is nice, like a very good wallet, but not super fine. Really what I was looking for as far as leather.
On the other hand, I really don't like the TPU phone holder attached to it. I couldn't easily get my phone in and out (a requirement for me). When I can, I'll probably try to replace it (glued) with a Ringke SLIM I have.
I won't use the lanyard, so the holes are useless for me, but not much negative. For now, I'm just using the phone without a cover, but carried in a pouch.
I would love a case like this one for the iPhone 6. http://www.mujjo.com/the-sleeves-collection/leather-wallet-case-for-iphone-6-black
Anyone ever see anything like it for the Note 4? I haven't turned up anything.

Haha I was thinking the exact same thing! I got the protection plan too... First phone with no camera bump - Woooohoooooo!
I've also only had a Galaxy s3, Note 3, Note 4, Note 5, and now Note 7.
Can't wait to get me some Google goodness! Some complain about the price point, where I say "finally a premium phone rather than 6 month old mid range specs phone .... Oh yeah that offered vanilla Android - which is awesome, but it's still a mid range phone..."
Haha /endrant

Interesting case, but how much is it? I can't see the price but if its 30 quid then I wouldn't get it!
Much rather pay that for their photo cases which i really like and thinking of getting it as an add on gift as buying the phone for the lazy half's birthday. However not sure he'll like it. Torn....
I'm worried that it won't be available until after the phone releases. I really want one, but would prefer to get a case for it immediately.

I want it immediately also, I do not want anything to happen to it... When I got my S6 Edge+ I put the Otterbox on and while at the store, before it was even activated it got bumped off the counter onto the floor.
I do not like the Otterbox I have on my S6E+ because is it a smooth hard plastic and will on its own slide off of counters and other smooth surfaces... I much prefer the silicon or rubberized cases that grip.

I love the photo cases, like $40, there is a store nearby that sells phone cases, and can "print" onto Otterbox cases, but for either I am not sure how it will hold up... the problem for me with this, is that he charges $30 to print, plus the $60 for the Otterbox, and then the Otterbox has design pattern and their name embossed into the case so the picture may not look as good as on the smooth silicone case in the Play Store. Oh, and they can only print on white, and Otterbox does not have white cases yet for the Pixel.

Thanks, I didn't catch that and thought it was a TPU case. I am deciding between this one as it looks thin or a Dbrand Skin instead. I want to get the phone in hand, feel how slippery and/or fragile it feels first. The more naked the better if the phone can take a "whoops"
if only these cases would be freely distributed to first buyers... haha, just like Coby phone.

Still available to order the Clear case from Google in both sizes.
The phone has shipped but the case is still not available :-/
Google can still learn a few things from Apple. Official iPhone accessories are available and usually ship well before the phone ships.
Has anyone found anything similar outside of Google. I'm paranoid about dropping this thing particularly as I'm in a country where this is not available so will not be able to service in case of a drop.

Amazon is your best bet. I ordered my case a week ago and it should be here tomorrow. Two clear cases for 7$. Can't beat that.
Kind of pissed. I ordered three cases (around the 12th), one of the being the google clear case and they all said in stock. Then i either get emails from the companies saying sorry the case will ship out on the 28th or the arrival day is 28th-1st. Now i have a naked phone from the 20th- and i don't want to **** it up.
Spigen
I ordered the Spigen Rugged Armor from Amazon and it came a few days ago. The phone comes today. I am terrible about dropping things and recently broke my hand, so it is now worse. I prefer no case, but I drop things way too often.
Anyone know how thick the silicone is? I find it very hard to believe its 19mm which would make the case height on both sides 10.4mm which in theory makes the back a 6mm ish case. That would be otterbox big.
The other reason why I think 19mm is incorrect is that it's the same dimensions for the clear case which is noticeably thinner than the live or silicone cases.
