Best Kickstand Case w/ Extended Battery?

[mscalero]

Hello,

I just got my Galaxy Nexus and I am really enjoying this phone! I purchased the extended battery which adds almost not bulk at all.

I am looking for a nice case, ideally with a kickstand, which will fit my device with the extended battery.

I see the Seidio Active case, but this just looks a little too rugged and bulky. I'd love if the Seidio Surface case came with a kickstand, I'd get it in a heartbeat.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I have two that I like...

First is the Seidio Active Case... which to Me is business like, lightweight, functional and has an all around nice look. This is my daily case because I'm an IT Professional and it fits my daily needs and looks

Second is the Otterbox Defender... that too is a very nice, yet rugged just in case I deside to get into a UFC fight or go skydiving and have it fall out. No, but seriously... it has its features... its just has a larger foot print...

Both have the kickstands....

Good luck with your purchase....

Hello,

Thanks for the review. Any chance you can post pics of the Seidio Active case? It just looks so bulky, but you say it is not.

Does it fit with the extended battery and battery door?

mike, ever find a good case that fits with the extended battery & cover? this has been my struggle. love the phone but need to charge it once during the day to get through to bedtime. the case that verizon sells for it in the power protection bundle is fantastic, but doesn't fit w/ the extended battery.

Hello,

I actually use the Seidio Surface now to fit the 2100 mah battery. It does not have a kickstand, but its the nicest case I have found which fits to the extended battery.

I use the case sold in the power protection bundle, and your right it doesn't quite fit with the extended battery, ie fails the shake test, However, what I do is remove the back cover and the case becomes my back cover, works great, passes the shake test now.

The kick stand works great when I can actually get it opened, it sticks a little....

Seidio Active w/Kickstand is awesome. Works great with the extended battery and extended battery door.

Unfortunately I can't take pics because the GNex is my only camera

+1 for the Otterbox Defender. Fits fine with the extended battery. The "kickstand" is adjustable, as it is just the rotating beltclip on the holster with an all-the-way open setting. Spin it around to get different heights. Only caution is that I had to dremel out the area around the headphone jack a little because the jack was uncomfortably tight against the edge of the holster.

I actually had to remove my battery cover for the phone with the extended battery to fit in the case. Not a big deal, though, as it does not show at all. The case is pretty good overall, but it does have a habit of sliding off at the corners when I take it out of my pocket.

I have the Stock Verizon case with the kickstand and had to do this for it to fit properly
