Otterbox and extended battery

[XoomXoom]

the Otterbox Commuter will work, if you want to see some review of costumers who have used the product refer to this: Amazon.com: nexus

i decided ultimately on the silicrylic. the shell is thin enough that popping the ext. batt in wont cause fitment problems and i always hated otterbox's smooth finish, slippery.

wen i get my ext batt ill test it out. there is a little play in the back where the battery door is, i can compress the shell a little, so hopefully the new batt and cover should go on ok. plus the silicrylic is 1/2 the price of the otterbox.

edit:
i bought the extended battery and installed it along with the cover and put the case on. the shell goes back onto the silicone jacket ok, but on the left and right sides the shell doesn't fully seal up with the silicone, it leaves a small gap on each side .... i decided to store the battery and just run with the stock battery. don't want to use the extended battery without the door.
maybe someday there will be a case made that accommodates the oem extended battery

been poking around about this situation .... there are 2 cases that are stated to work, Seidio's Surface extended (has a metal kickstand) .... and the Speck Pixelskin HD.

the Commuter is a good case as well, its a nice solid case without adding as much bulk as the defender. Here are some pictures and reviews for you to compare.

i just got the pixelskin hd for the g-nex and its perfect .... fits with the ext batt perfect, also doesnt collect lint compared with silicone rubber ....

it is a bit more slippery than the silicrylic but still more grippy than the commuter.

worth the 30$ imo

Now will the defender and other cases you mention work with only 2100mah battery or also the 3900mah?

Well that battery is twice as thick as the phone itself. Take a wild guess!
