It's been out for weeks
My apologies, I meant out as available to order directly from otterbox.com.
The product was previously shown as "Coming Soon" from their site.
Just got my confirmation email from Otterbox last night 8)
Wonder if it will be too bulky for an already semi bulky phone?

Does it work with the car or media dock?
Sorry mate not sure, i wont get the dock, car mount or otterbox case untill a reliable source in Aus gets these for me which will be months away.
The Dock has a removable base that the phone sits in so I would probably think it should fit, I remember some1 else having some snap on cover for the D3 which worked in the Media Dock. Not sure about the car dock tho.

Does anybody know if the OtterBox can be used with the extended battery? Also, does it make the phone REALLY bulky? How's the top row of the keyboard?
I was expecting chunkier, but I think I'd still rather use my phone "naked"

You got it to fit with the extended battery? I received my Otterbox earlier today and I can't seem to get it.
Just got the Otterbox today and I can confirm it does fit with an extended battery. However the battery, which also came today, is a cheapo 2200mAh from amazon. It a bit bigger than the standard not sure if its the same size as the extended. I use it with the standard back and is not bulging out. Hopefully this is an extended and not labeled incorrectly.
[edit] This battery is not getting hot while charging. Its 77 and the standard it usually over 100. Though it may be misreported.
Let me know how the battery does compared to the stock! Mainly if its lasting longer than it or if the cheap batttery isn't worth the money.

Well the battery's not likely 2200mAh. It gets about the same life as the stock 1500. Still worth the 5 bucks I paid. It's GTMax brand if anyone's interested.
I'm kind of mad I bought the shell/holster they offered, thing's great. But, this looks badass, lol.

The vzw holster is crap as far as i'm concerned. When I got a replacement for a vibrate motor problem I noticed how the new one was much more sturdy when sliding out the keyboard. The case caused it to come loose. The clip near the back of the front camera is too tall and the screen pulled upwards.
Decided to take off the battery cover and see how it fits in the Otterbox. There's no problems it even feels a bit smaller almost as though there's no case on the back. Even tried dropping it from about a foot to see if the battery or sim or sdcard would fall out, didn't move at all. So there should be no problem with an extended battery. Someone at androidforums cut the battery cover to make the extended battery fit. Doesn't sound like a very good idea but I guess it's another option.
Hmm. I have no issues with the vzw one *knock on wood* and its on my hip all day. I have bumped into a few doors at work directly on it (as well as some stupid people in the metro) its held its ground so far.

Nice. Just wish they had it in
The OtterBox case can be found on amazon for around $25 shipped, it's well worth it. Best case I ever had for a phone. I got it to work with the Motorola extended battery, I just modified the stock battery cover with a dremel and alot of patience.
How much was actually 'shaved'? Did it go through the cover all the way and expose the insides at all?

Oh yeah almost the whole battery is exposed, but the inside of the otter box is silicon and it seal everything up and holds it tight. The original battery cover sacrificed his life so that I could use my extended battery. I still have the extended battery cover if I ever choose to take off the ottterbox. There's a thread at droidforums.net that I posted pics and all in.
Hey guys
I tried looking it up anyone know any good dock and other accessories that fit nexus s with a case (the really thin feather one)?
b ump
Anyone try either of these ??
This might work with a case
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sync-Charge...ccessories&hash=item43ad96c95f#ht_2842wt_1140
This should definitely work.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sinjimoru-S...Accessories&hash=item3370c96d7e#ht_2273wt_982
Dock is a problem
I don't really think that you need a case. You can always change the back cover of your nexus s from time to time. And the screen is very good, mine doesn't have any scratch. Take a look at this link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-GENUINE-ORIGINAL-HOUSING-BATTERY-BACK-DOOR-COVER-SAMSUNG-NEXUS-S-i9023-/160697790437?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256a55afe5#ht_1248wt_1037
About the dock, nexus s do not have a multimedia dock like Motorola atrix, for example. The dock only charges and holds your phone. Even this being said I have a dock just like the one in the link bellow. It's good to have at work, you always have your phone charged.

I bought a cheap dock. My nexus s almost fitted with the case on. Took it to myself to disassemble the dock, heat the region around the port and move it slightly and angle it a tad differently. After letting it cool and putting back some hot glue it fits perfectly. ;-)
Hey, Is it possible to buy colored battery covers for the Nexus S?
A red one will look gooood on the back of my black phone
Thanks
I was looking for one a while ago, but I couldn't find one that had a NFC on it. The Near Field Communicator is attached to the back cover, so you will lose that functionality if you don't get a cover that has a NFC on it.

I honestly don't care about the NFC and I don't think I'll ever use it..
Can you tell me what exactly you searched to find it or if you know someone that sells it?
I wants non glossy black
Hate gloss just a fingerprint magnet and gets all sweaty in hand
I'm surprised no alternative covers
I've looked before bit no luck
Got a thin case but still would like cover
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
I think the Chinese have been reluctant to make too many due to the loss of NFC if you use a cheap door.
I would buy some spray paint designed for plastic (they sell it at auto part shops. I'd buy the primer too) and sand the cover door and apply a bunch of real thin coats of paint, sanding with real fine sandpaper between each coat, until it was as smooth as I wanted. You could buy flat paint or whatever so it wasn't as glossy too. Though fingerprints wouldn't be as noticeable on a lighter color or one not quite so reflective as black.
Just get one of those Gelaskins or Bodyguardz Carbon Fiber skins <- I just got this and it looks and feels awesome.
is there any Battery cover _without_ NFC?
I haven't seen any for sale aside from the standard black or white ones.
Spray paint and clear coat the stock one.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
the standard ones are fine for me, but i want one (or in this case two) without NFC because the radio signal is very poor on the Nexus S. But when you remove the back battery door it has one of the best signals i've ever seen on an smartphone

I tested by myself and you're right...

Have you tested that having turned off the NFC?
back covers

sure iv'e tested it with NFC off, not big difference to NFC on. Its because the NFC antenna in the Cover is very Big and shields the other frequencys to good.
I'm still searching for an Bat. cover without NFC. Any links or recommendations?
Look it up on eBay! Its your best friend
Sent from my Nexus S
i tried but i only find them with NFC or the price is so high that it isn't interesting any more
I bought 2 of these from this seller. They arrived quickly and do not contain NFC. I bought them to coat in plastidip (works well in 1-2 coats, 3 destroys it) - source (my six tries).
Search ebay for this description and this seller.

Hi,
I'm looking for a case like this one for the Galaxy s3
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00B03OY...ve=22118&creativeASIN=B00B03OYVM&linkCode=asn
Do you know where I can find it for our Note2?
thank you, Danilo
How about this Arkon setup: http://www.arkon.com/Slim-Grip Ultra/slimgrip-ultra-strap-mount.html
I wouldn't trust slim-grip by itself, but it comes with a safety strap which should hold it secure.

I've already one and it works very bad screen reflects a lot in the sun even if you keep it tight
I would suggest spending some to look at ram mount. Probably for an otter box case. Do some homework and if anyone runs across anything a link will be posted here.
Would live to see plenty of alternative options. This thread almost appears to be a shopping request. So I would suggest posts with a link. If anyone has ACTUAL feedback then fire away. Cheers
How about this bad boy...

this is what I built 2 days ago with what I had at home, does not convince me very much because it does not protect the screen.
Then I ordered this should go much better
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Surv...case-for-Samsung-galaxy-note-2/744261931.html
I hope to receive it soon
This product should work. With no case the Note 2 measures 5.95" long, 3.17" wide and less than 0.37" deep. With my case on it's 6.25" long, 3.375" wide and 1/2" deep. You have to buy the box, the handlebar mount and arm. Luckily I just have to by the box.

very nice find. Didn't realise there was an aqua box product. I think I'll try this on my Harley . Thank you for posting.
So my wireless charging mod came in today and I love it! It works very well with all my charging pads and I love the way it feels on the phone. It makes the phone look and feel "whole". Plus the camera is inset just a little now which I like. Because before when you lay it down the camera was the first thing to touch. So this protects it a bit. I ordered mine straight from Motorola because I noticed some websites had some with slightly thicker dimensions "older models perhaps?" But I got it for $29.99 plus shipping. Not too bad.
are you able to use a case with this mod attached? I have the incipio case and it seems pretty snug with no mods, but i want this mod....

Not sure. The mod is pretty sturdy feeling and the screen shatterproof. I just put a screen protector on for scratches and roll with it. So for me I Don't really see any need to have a case. I never have been one to like cases. That's why I've always liked Motorola because their phones are physically tough.
How long does it take to get the battery completely full from almost completely empty with that mod?

Not sure. I haven't ran it all the way down and charged it wireless yet. But the wireless isn't as fast as the turbo plugin charger but quite as bit faster than a regular plugin charger.

i bought the lenovo aluminum bumper and it feels great. it was really hard to get on because i have a dbrand skin on the sides of my phone. but ALL mods work, some - like the wireless charger are harder to get off without taking off the case.
this is the bumper - worth every penny

I also bought this bumper and loved it initially. No more slippery edges around the phone and very cool looking and feel. However, the big issue with this bumper, to me, was the reduction of signal (from 5 bars down to 3 bars). It also affected the 4G Tx/Rx signals too. It did not affect Wifi signal that much though. Now, I switched to Verizon Two-Tones black color rubber bumper and love it too. No more reduction of phone signals, protects the edges of the phone and wireless charging mod works perfect too.

When I put in this rubber bumper on, my wireless charging mod was already installed. Bumper went in without any problem. I have not tried to take mod out so I don't know whether any obstruction between bottom of bumper and mod.

Yes, there is a "tab" in the bottom center of bumper. It does not block the bottom edge of mod, but rather it is very close to bottom edge of mod. This makes the mod to come out/going in a bit difficult.
