So we've all seen Alex Dobie's gallery and initial thoughts on the 2000 mAh extended battery for the GSM Galaxy Nexus. Here are mine, which mirror his:
In a word or two: Me like. Got mine on eBay for around $50, and it took a couple of weeks to get here from Korea.
- The battery came with a slightly thicker battery cover, which looks and feels like the one for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus.
- The phone indeed does feel a little better in the hand, thanks to that extra thickness.
- The thickness in no way is bothering me.
- The only real difference is that you lose the angle at the bottom of the phone, so you might not as quickly be able to tell which end is which.
- The stock battery still fits with the extended battery cover. Don't feel it rattling around or anything.
- NFC works fine with the 200 mAh battery. (It's official Samsung stock, after all.)
- NFC also works just fine when you're using the stock battery with the extended battery cover.
