Here is the battery I have in my GNex i9250 GSM phone:
QCell Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM i9250 3850mAh Extended Battery ASIN: B006SKHIKG.
I love it and find it makes my phone very hard to kill.
EDIT: And this is the case to get - Seidio CSK3SSGNLKX2-BK ACTIVE Extended Case with Metal Kickstand ASIN: B0083RTZ7G.
This case provides protection similar to high-end case from Trident. It has a soft layer covered with hard armor that covers all four corners. The kickstand is the really beautiful thing, because it doesn't just work for standing the phone on flat surfaces....
I use it as a finger brace when using the phone one-handed. It lets you safely hold the phone is a whole new way that allows you easier access to the screen with your thumb, while the kickstand braces through your other fingers. I use it like this so often I consider it now an essential feature on the phone.
The soft-armor portion of the case is a bit of a lint-magnet, but it washes off very easy under simple tap water. Just rinse, towel dry, and it is clean again. For me, it is well worth it and I wouldn't trade this case for anything, including the top-end cases from Trident or Otterbox.
The main recommendation I have is to get an extended battery. With the stock battery I used to get about 3 hours screen-on time with average use. I pretty much got used to charging once in the middle of the day. That always seemed to be enough.
Now I have a QCell extended battery and a Trexcell case/cover, and I'm pretty darn happy with them. So far, I seem to be getting a little over 5 hours of screen-on time, and I don't have to charge in the middle of the day at all. It's quite a different experience.
It's certainly down to personal preference, but I like the weightier phone, now that I've gotten used to it.
Also, I have the 5 GB plan, and it's pretty sweet. I use Groove IP and this low-latency audio patch, and it works swell.
I haven't run out of data like I expected to, either. I have gotten up to 2 or 3 GB before, though.
Like I said, Amazon. Just make sure you get the right one. i515 is Verizon and i9250 is the GSM phone. http://www.amazon.com/QCell-Samsung-3850mAh-Extended-Battery/dp/B006SKHIKG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1334146181&sr=8-3 That is the biggest I have seen.
