Is the 2150 extended battery worth it?

[pppilot]

Well, the ziplock bag would work just fine, too! But I think I'm going to give the Case Logic idea a try first.

For $50? No. For $25? Yes.

Whatever works for you

For $50? No. For $25? Yes.

Agreed... if you can get it for the 50% off deal it is a no brainier, if you have to pay full price then it is really a toss up, but I believe the stores are still selling them for that.

Got extended battery for 25, ordered from local Verizon store, they billed my account and 2 day Fedex'd it to me. The otter box commuter fits well with the new back. Difference is somewhat noticeable, for 25 it was worth it.

Is the charger sold separately from the standard battery?

Charger comes with standard battery but not the extended battery.

Just came back from Verizon store with extended battery, it does make the Nexus feel better, a little more weight at bottom makes phone fit in palm of hand better , and if it adds thickness, it is a hair thicker, barely.

Now I am looking for the thinnest case that fits extended battery ? I dont like tge two pc cases, too bulky, would love a barely there case if it fits ?

you should try the diztronic case from amazon. i got mine today and it's just what i'm looking for. fits extended battery, light, thin, snug, phone won't slip off case, anti slip back, smooth lip (makes it easier to get in and out of pocket), comes with a screen protector if you want to use it.

I agree..I have the diztronic matte black case and love it. Slim,perfect fit,non slip and shows no fingerprints like the gloss tpu cases do.

I came here to see what people thought of the battery, and had a different question answered. I liked my silicone case from my TB, and was looking for something like that for the Nexus. I'm not sure if I need the extended battery (I'm always around a charger anyways), but if this case fits it that gives me options later on down the road. I think I might order one of these. Thanks!

Woah, that's huge! I'll keep my eye out for how that will look, I feel like it will make the phone enormous, but we'll see.

I wonder if this new battery from SEIDO will have the NFC token in the battery like the Samsung ones. Least that is my understanding on how the NFC works in our phones. Used Google Wallet and got my free lunch from the $10 prepaid card. I can see myself using this feature more often.

Yes the token is in the battery, but that does not mean that all replacement batteries will have them, and if they dont the phone works just fine but NFC does not work. Also the simple act of swapping batteries can have less than optimal (read: things may break) experience with NFC but Google and Samsung haven't released anything specific

Seidio product description for their 3800mah extended battery says no NFC support.

I can confirm that the NFC works with the Samsung extended battery. However, I got the battery when I bought the phone and used the extended battery from the start and never once used the standard battery.

Might be a deal breaker for me unless i find myself not using it much.
