Charger and Case Question for Extended Battery

[bobvanjr]

I bought the bigger Samsung factory battery from Korea with the Google back because I didn't want a Verizon logo.

What Samsung factory stand alone charger will work with this battery and ideally with the stock battery as well?

What cases will fit? Are there any that will fit correctly? I'm kinda partial to the incipio style as I've been using one with my Note and it's working out well.

Thanks

This forum is for the gsm galaxy nexus but the extended OEM battery for the gsm version still fits in every case I've tried so it shouldn't be any different with the Verizon extended battery version

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I do have the GSM Nexus from the Google Play store. I bought the extended battery from a link somewhere around here because I wanted to keep the stock look to the battery cover and not use the Verizon alternative.

I just can't imagine how a standard Nexus cover would correctly fit. I would think one designed for the Verizon version might be closer but I haven't seen one of those in person.

As far as the stand alone chargers, will the battery fit into any one made for any Nexus?

No Verizon one won't fit the clips are in a different place if you got the OEM Samsung extended battery you should have got the one that came with the back cover so you must have ordered the wrong one that was just the battery but they do sell it seperatly

12$ on eBay so your gonna pay a little more then you would have if you bought them together

I must be very confusing. I ordered the battery AND back from somewhere in Korea that is supposedly the oem 2000 mah battery and GSM Google cover. I'm not worried about the back cover fitting. It's perfect.

I'd like to know what aftermarket cases fit the configuration of a GSM Nexus with the 2000 mah battery and included battery door.

You most likely bought it from gmarket. Got mine there. I use tpu cases with the extended gsm battery without issues. I have sgp ultra capsule, diatonic and capdase soft xpose. Tried hard cases but they just don't feel right and fit right for me

The charger that comes with the GNex works with std or extended battery.
I got mine from Korea, from shimshop.

Case, I got this one, but I volunteer to build and maintain backcountry trails in State Parks, so rugged is my MO.

I use an Otterbox Commuter with the 2000mAh battery and cover. It's a little snugger then with the stock battery/door, but still works just fine. If its not in the case it's naked (although I'm thinking about grabbing a TPU case)

Why do you keep mentioning a Verizon backing? If Verizon is your carrier, you DO NOT have a GSM Nexus... you have the CDMA Nexus.

Aside from the point, every case I tried works the same, extended battery or not (I have the GSM w/ 2000mah battery).

The only option for an extended battery I could find was the one that was for the Verizon version....that's why. I did find the OEM extended (2000mah) battery with the Google battery door cover. That's what I wanted. I didn't want to put a Verizon back on my GSM Nexus. Is it really that hard to understand?

Now my next question is if the batteries are even interchangeable between the Verizon Nexus and the GSM Playstore Nexus? I ordered the charger and battery for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and it will not work with the oem 1750 or oem 2000 battery.

Ok, I see the problem now. All this time I thought that the GSM/CDMA batteries were the same dimensions other than thickness. I thought that the Verizon battery would physically fit in a GSM Nexus but because it was obviously thicker it needed the Verizon back. I didn't want a Verizon back on my GSM Nexus.

I did find and order the 2000 oem battery and door. Awesome. Works great.

Still thinking that the only difference was the thickness of the battery I ordered a stand/dock for a Verizon CDMA phone. It is obviously different.

Now I get it. I can't believe Samsung did that.
