Yes, you get a new battery cover. It only covers the battery, so there is a bulge on the bottom 50% of the back case, the top half stays the same size.
I have the Piel Frama extended battery case, just tried using it with regular battery and it fits pretty well - minimal amount of slide - so I am now happy to use whichever battery I feel like day-by-day and use the same case.
Just bought a GPS receiver and went shopping for a car cradle. The bulge of the extended battery is a MAJOR problem - the cradle holders don't generally have deep/long enough arms, so the Dell is helkd pretty precariously. It survived a 150mile drive, but don't feel very happy. If you are planing to use Dell for GPS, then either get a car charger that will charge when the unit is on, or consider getting multiple regular batteries rather than an extended one, and make sure you but the cradle in person, or can return it if not happy. I tried 3 shops in London before buying the one I have (and tha's a compromise, not ideal).
Hope this helps.
