I have the Verizon extended battery for my droid 3 and it adds a non existent amount of space that fits in all of the same cases and docks which rocks but it is the only other phone I know had a basically same size battery. It also works well!

I think the closest you'll get is the DX. The extended battery added almost no thickness to the phone.
If the extended battery for the Galaxy Nexus is as thin as the stock one...why does it come with a spare back plate?
Should I buy the extended battery or the spare battery with charger? Either way, I would get an extra battery.
I think the charger would be useful so that I can always have an extra charged battery ready, but at the same time I would hate to carry around another battery in my pocket.
If I could make it through a day with just the extended battery with a case that fits it, that would be great (which basically renders the provided battery useless).

Easily going for extended battery if that's how it looks..I want whatever the phone docks into as well for those 3 prongs on the side.
Alright so P3 just posted a picture of the extended battery. (occasionally even he is useful) It is EXACTLY the type of slim battery all Verizon LTE devices should offer.

yeah I know , I said "aftermarket" not OEM Samsung batteries. Do you know the difference
It's not a chip in the battery, just an antenna. Any batteries with it should be marked as such. Seeing as how there aren't any yet, we'll just have to wait and see if aftermarket manufacturers make them. Given nfc's new functions in ics, I'm betting they will.

so far, I haven't seen any pictures of the charger by itself. I've only seen it packaged with the battery with lower mAh. that's my dilemma...
also, is there going to be an issue with swapping out the batteries. one of the articles posted here stated that the NFC antenna in the battery with half the "recalibrate" (so to speak) with the NFC chip in the phone, thus causing issues? is that true?
They won't work. The way NFC in the Nexus is set up (and android in general really), aftermarket batteries are going to be shut out of working with devices like Samsung's that have NFC antennae in the battery. The security requirements of the NFC module will simply not allow it.
Maybe. I know the chip has to handshake with the antenna. But I don't ever discount the ability of Chinese manufacturers to copy products.
The battery is keyed with a token, according to Engadget, that is required for the antenna to function. While I don't doubt the ability of the chinese to copy, it still probably wouldn't work.
