The Galaxy Nexus extended 2100mah battery fits into the Galaxy SII skyrocket (which is shipped with a 1850mah battery) but some users have had a hard time closing their skyrocket's back covers due to the extra thickness of the extended battery.  I demonstrate in this instructable an easy way to trim the battery to fit the Skyrocket with no back cover problems.

See this XDA thread for the original discussion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528782

The Nexus extended battery is available online and at Verizon stores for $25.  I purchased from Verizon in order to be certain I was receiving an OEM battery.

The only tool required is a razor knife.   I used an x-acto knife but a razor blade would also work.  

This picture shows how much material I removed during the modification.
