Just got mine in! Totally loving it. I really like the heavier feel (feels more solid) and the way the extended battery cover rounds out the back. I'm using mine with a TPU bumper from eBay while I wait for a replacement SGP Capsule.
This just came in today. Just wanted to provide some additional pictures 
Hope this helps people decide wether or not to buy it.
Pictures were taken with my phone of course.

Ordered from ShimShop. Hoping to see it soon. Stock battery lasts me, most of the time, but there are days of heavier use where the battery can be dead by 11PM. The extra 250mah should help with those days.
I don't get it, so if I ordered from the shimshop, it doesn't come with the retail box?
It comes in OEM packaging which is (possibly) bubble wrap with the battery and back door in clear plastic bags etc (I haven't ordered but I've seen pics of peoples deliveries.)
Edit: As seen in OP first pic

yup, that's exactly how it comes in. bubble-wrapped and clear plastic (zip-locked) bag.
Sh*tty "phone"
I bought the same battery on ebay + charger for it. I charge standard battery in new charger, use phone half day with new fully charged battery in my gnex and the second part of it with old (1750mAh (I have GSM version). 2000mah could manage with two and half hours of working screen (automatic brightness). 1750 mah manage with two and fifteen minutes run of my screen(also autobrightness). So if I use my gnex (Reading something that I need to read ) it could work only 4:45 without charging. I hate it for that. It's too stupid to open case every day to put in fresh battery. I mean there are no any pleasant feelings or thoughts when I do it. It seems to me like work, not use of latest smartphone. I dont understand how it is impossible to buy 600dollars phone which couldn't work even a half day. I dont know what I should to do.
I'm running it on AOKP milestone 4 + latest stable franco kernel. I tried to change CPU frequencies it didnt help. I have no time to try different roms and kernels (because they need complete wipe but it distracts me even more than changing of batteries). I'd be very glad to listen for some advice. The one thing I could tell that standard rom was draining battery faster
P.S. I think to sell this peace of crap for 300$, buy nokia for 20$, use it until iphone 5 comes to shelves

You linked the Verizon Galaxy Nexus extended battery. Hoping you didn't order the wrong one.

Did you buy the genuine 2000mah? or a fake eBay one from China. In terms of screen on time, the extended will only give you 15%+ what you usually get. So around 45 minutes of display time depending on the person.
I personally get around 5 hours of display time before dead. Currently running Gummy 1.0 and the Imoseyon kernel (It comes with Gummy) and I'm sitting at 1 Day 5 hours on battery with 3 hours and 14 minutes of display time. With 25% left, pretty good for me. This is with really light usage, i've only been running this setup for how long the battery has been on though. With heavy usage, I expect less standby but more screen on time. From the looks of it, I'll get around 4 hours display time though with this much standby time.
The same genuine battery + cover from top rated seller for 50 bucks + charger for 15 bucks. I think that you are lucky enough with your nexus battery life. How much apps installed have you got? I'm 72. Maybe it is a problem for ICS I dont know. But anyway when I go in battery menu at settings I see that 60 percents eaten by screen + 15 percents by OS. Pitty.
Yea your OS is too high, mine is like 4% with the run time I have.
Here's my battery life, first test running my current setup. Light-medium usage. A lot more standby time than I usually do.
This is Gummy 1.0, I'm probably going to update now to 1.0.1
If can't see screenshots, idk why. Check my post here on Gummy

The extended battery is awesome. The phone feels better in the hand because the back now feels like one solid slab. I'm having a hard time wearing the battery down intentionally so that I can charge it. I 100% recommend this extended battery, and I believe it should have been stock.
My thoughts exactly. I especially like how the phone feels with the slight addition of thickness.

108So I decided to purchase an extended battery for the Galaxy Nexus since the original (1750 mAH) battery didn't really live up to my expectations. The original battery gave decent battery life and kept the thickness of the phone to a minimum.
After receiving the battery from ebay member: mulkin, I had inspected the battery and confirmed that it was indeed the "official" extended battery for the GSM model.
I wasn't expecting the battery to come in a couple days since it was coming from South Korea, but it did take less than a week to get here to South California. Packaging was very nice and kept the battery and back cover well protected.
The extended battery cover that was included with the extended battery still has the same texture as the original. The phone also feels better with the new battery cover. The slight thickness it adds still maintains the phones low profile. The only thing it loses is the slight curve of the original battery cover right above the rear speaker. NFC works perfectly and isn't affected at all, it also works well if your using the stock battery with the extended back cover.
Overall, I am happy with the product. Battery life has definitely improved over the couple days I was using it. I am going to attach screenshots of the battery life I am getting, as well as pictures of the extended battery on the phone soon. If you have any questions, just leave a comment.
Thanks.3This just came in today. Just wanted to provide some additional pictures
