Yea I just used a razor blade. Sand paper would work too.
Sorry the pics aren't the best.

Just got 1 myself, took a little away from the back cover and it snaps in nicely now.
Still no issues with fitment or connectivity? That would have been my only concern; that it doesn't remain in contact without the caps.
Yep. I took the bottom one off, along with the outer label, and trimmed the top one along the outward facing edge. If I took both off the battery wouldn't seat tight enough to actually power the phone.
The contacts are kind of springy and connect just fine without the caps. I was initially worried about removing the bottom one, thinking it wouldn't push up enough for secure contact, but it works fine. I've been running like that since last July.
There is some adhesive left from the caps that kind of help "stick" the battery in place. I think someone in the thread initially recommended to remove both caps.
t989 user here. this is where i got mine from. 18 bucks. you just get the battery, no box.

This is the exact same deal that was on before. I bought one and have been using it in my SN with moderately excellent results. I get about 3-5 hours more than the original battery with moderate use [Gmail, Twitter, Chrome, some Google Music, no games].

Awesome! I don't really play games on mine. Just flip through news articles and reddit using BaconReader. Thrilled to get this.
Got mine today. Fits beautifully, shaved the plastic edges down a bit with a file, back closes VERY snug, but since I've got a hard case, it doesn't matter.
Just ordered mine today, miracle this deal is still going on...
Had my battery for just under 2 years but the rockets starting to get old so I wanna have a backup ready

8I think this info should be added to the op:
---------------------------------
1. Go to Sprint Employee Referral Program [sprint.com]
2. enter: russ.s.mcguire@sprint.com (as email) // 383 as Employee ID // [this info is public]
3. make your way to accessories, select galaxy Nexus, add the battery [sprint.com] to cart and enter battery1 coupon code
4. check out (total should be free, with free shipping), be sure to enter the employee email and ID on the check out page again.
5. wait for the sent email
NOTE: The description says that it is a bundle that is free with purchase of GNex but it will allow you to checkout with just the battery in your cart! When I applied the coupon code, it redirected me to select a phone. When i clicked back (google chrome) and reapplied the coupon, it took me to checkout (free).

This worked for me.6Okay friends, now's the time to stock up! check out this deal for a FREE Nexus extended battery from Sprint! http://slickdeals.net/f/5055866-FREE-Sprint-Galaxy-Nexus-extended-battery?
I bought one for $0 shipped. Did have to enter my credit card info of course.
Enjoy!6Here's an instructable on one method of trimming down the battery for those who have poor fitment.
http://www.instructables.com/id/Modify-a-Galaxy-Nexus-extended-battery-to-fit-the-/65As with all modifications, I can not be held responsible for your actions. Including, but not limited to trying to modify your phone or battery. You will obviously lose the warranty on the battery, and possibly the phone.
I unwrapped the battery in step 1, thus exposing the NFC antenna, so It's there for sure
I only needed to take a bit off the top left corner, not even the unwrapping part. It's just plastic that's needed to keep it looking symmetric. Who cares about looks when its gonna be covered by the lid. I'll take a pick with my transformer, but i'm in my car, so please excuse the lighting
{This is the extended battery that is sold by Verizon for the Samsung galaxy nexus, It has just been undressed (needlessly), and sanded in the top left corner}
Please press the thank button if I helped
