I love the idea of these extended battery life batteries...but the backplate is just awful....how do you find a protective case that will fit now that you have this huge backplate. Just wondering!
These back covers are fugly!!! Also, they all seem to obstruct the fingerprint reader. I'm also curious if there is any reflection caused by the flash when taking a picture. Just darn ugly!!
Anyone seen a case/battery like I've seen for the iPhone? One of the guys @ the office has one for his iPhone that he can turn on to charge the battery and then turn if back off when it's done charging.
I went with the Mugen 4800mAh and LOVE it. Link above. Easily 72 hours of moderate use (for me, which might be light use for someone else). Yes, it is $120 from the factory, but eBay lists it for $95 (the cost of the phone on some plans, but well worth it).
I had to modify the Otterbox Defender case to accommodate it, which wasn't easy. The brick door it comes with isn't bad either and fits in the ballistic nylon Nite Ize (size Tall) belt clip case. The Otterbox cover, however, needs it's own Otterbox belt clip (which I also love). Lots of options, some less painful than others. Here are a few pics.
I love it, though I grant you it is not for everyone. I'd probably wrap my phone in duct tape if it would double the battery life. Currently at 45 hours since my last charge and 50% battery remaining.
