I have had the battery for a few days now, I think its broken in now. As of right now its been off the charger for 18h 13m, and I have 41 percent left, that is with messaging, internet use, and playing sims 3 for a couple of hours also. Oh and the screen brightness is set a little under halfway up.

I can't decide if I want to purchase this battery or not. Reading all of the reviews, it sounds like a good buy but i dont know if it would hurt the phone with not being a samsung or sprint product. Any problems with the battery so far?
Link is in the first post. He bought it on ebay.

overall, it's a great battery, however the battery cover that came with mine is "ok". i have difficulty making all of the plastic connectors stay in place. at times it's hard to feel where the display button is. other than that, the battery life is pretty excellent.

Does the new back to the phone make the phone to big or is it tolerable? Also does the new back fit well to the phone or caused anyone else problems staying in place?
The batterycover on mine fits very good the one thing I noticed is the power button is a little harder to find, but to me its just a minor inconvenience. I'm sitting at 40 percent after being unplugged for 27 hours now.
The holster that came with my Seidio Innocase could work with the battery, it just fits a little loose.
Seidio case works fine. it's not a snug fit but unless you intentionally tried to knock the phone out of the holster, i dont see it happening.
+1 on the finding hard to find the power button.
overall, it's a good battery. Here's a example of my battery usage -
unplugged it at 8am, then hopped on a bus from Shady Grove, MD to Pittsburgh. along the way, there are a lot of weak sections for cell coverage. i played angry birds for a good 90 minutes, about 30 mins of web surfing, and texting in between. @ the nhl winter classic, i had some issues with sending some txt messages. after power-cycling the phone twice, the txt messages started working again, but when i was having this issue, i lost about 10-15% of battery juice.. why? i'm not sure.
midnight comes around, i'm back on my pager and heading back to Maryland from pittsburgh, got home, still had a good 20% left on the battery. this includes using my phone on the way home for some more internet addiction feeding.
with the original battery, it wouldve been dead when i got to Heinz Stadium.
btw, outdoor classic.... that was just awesome. giggity.
buy the battery.. it's cheap and comes with a cover. compare it to a battery you buy from Sprint, it's going to cost quite a bit more.
