Bigger size battery?

[Jonneh]

I bought a 3500 mAh extended battery from amazon for - get this - $12.80. As skeptical as I was, it was cheap enough to warrant a try - by golly is it amazing. I've had it for about a month now and as much as I love Seidio, after enjoying this wonderful purchase of just $12.80 (which now I see on Amazon as $20.80), I have to wonder why theirs would be so ridiculously high.

But, I was not going for sleekness and a very slight bump up in performance - I was going for battery performance, with a huge cost of size and weight. So my GN is an overweight fata$$ now but boy does it last.

Is there a noticeable difference in how long you can use your phone for on a single charge?

I was looking at this one, same physical size as origional 1750mAhr battery, so no need for extended battery cover, but its 2000mAhr with NFC:

Well the OEM extended is about ~13% larger than stock. So you'll get about 13% more battery life .

Yes I would just get the OEM Samsung one instead of the 3rd party one. Plus the OEM is cheaper and the battery door comes with it and really is barley any thicker you can't really tell and it still fits in every phone case. I get about 3:30-4:30 of screen on time on average and always get 12 hours at minimum out of it.
