Default GSM Nexus w/Extended Battery & SGP Hybrid

Anyone know if this combo will work, or will a standard Nexus case will be too small? Kind of want the extra maH, but also want a nice case.

Anyone with an extended battery and a case for the GSM nexus have any weigh-in?

from the lack of responses, I'll take this as my cue to post pics of the results.

Ordered both and will followup once they arrive.

I'm pretty sure there's pictures in the SGP Hybrid/Capsule topic. Some people said the extended battery stretched the rubber part out and made it sag/loose.

I saw the posts about the capule, but not the Hybrid. I'll do some more searching.

I have the setup you described and there is a bit of sagging but it is very very minor.

Sooooo....I'm apparently either illiterate or just wasn't paying attention. I ordered the sgp ultra hybrid, rather than the Neo hybrid. Nice case, but considering the back plate is a composite and the sides are flexible (opposite of the Neo), this case won't work with the battery. Dolt. Gonna order the right one today.

I'd appreciate pics posted when the case arrives! I'm getting a Galaxy Nexus and will most likely be getting the extended battery as well since I use my phone a lot. That being said, the official cases thread doesn't seem to have any info on GSM+2000mAh battery case compatibility (just w/ Verizon), so it's back to scouring the 'net and these forums.

Considering the Diztronic TPU case since it's cheap, but I have a Neo Hybrid for my GSII right now and I'm pretty happy with it, so I'd love to have the same model for the Nexus. A bit concerned about sagging, though.

Would love to also read a 2/4-week followup to see how the silicone holds (or doesnt).

I'm a total slacker. Sorry!

Update, the Neo Hybrid/2000mah battery combo fits perfectly. Much better than the Ultra Hybrid. Also, its just a nicer case. I will say I do feel a "little" bit of slack between the TPU portion of the case and the back. I wouldn't remotely say it sags, but if you tap it, you feel it move like 0.5mm, and I'm sorry but if that's too much for some people, they're just being too picky. If anything, it feels a little more cushioned from it.

I'd recommend the combo in a heartbeat. My only complaint is that the headphone jack is a little on the small side. I connect to my car's headunit with a pretty nice Monster Cable 3.5mm Mini Jack to RCA. Had to ditch it for a radioshack replacement because the monster cable end was too big.

I'll take a couple pics with my camera later and upload. Sorry for the delay.
