GTMax 3500mAh High Capacity Battery + New Back Cover $12.99!

So I found this battery on Amazon about a week ago for $12.99.. Ordered it and I am extremely impressed. Running Stock Rom + Root, constant use daily.I was really getting pissed off with the battery that came with the phone, it just doesn't do it justice.

Pro's - Been using the phone (50% Brightness, Downloading videos, youtubing, texting, phone calls, tinkering with GO Launcher stuff, almost played through a whole game of Words with Friends) Came off the charger at 3 P.M. today, legit screen on using the phone action about 4-5 hours tonight and it's now 11:25 P.M., battery is just hitting 65%! Extremely impressed with the performance of this battery and would recommend it to anyone that needs some extra juice.

Cons - It makes the phone about twice as thick towards the bottom half (I actually like this, it makes it much easier to hold on to and just grip in general). Also adds a significant amount of weight to the phone but nothing annoying, just saying.

UNSURE - Not sure about the NFC Capabilities of the battery, no one around me here has a phone with NFC so I can't test it... Honestly for the performance I could give a S*** less about NFC whether I keep it or lose it.

Awesome price! Great buy for trip battery.

Sadly with that thickness, I would rather club baby seals

Nice find, going to have to think about this buy some more.

Here are some pics of the phone with the extended battery and the bumper case from ebay. Sorry for the quality of the pics, they were taken with an htc hero.
It looks really good in person and the bumper really adds some welcomed grip with minimal bulk. Overall the phone feels good to hold with one hand and it offers some protection to the corners in the event of a fall. The case and the battery cover are almost perfectly flush. As for battery life I'm getting between 36-48 hours depending on the use. Keep in mind that I only use this battery when I'm on call and /or know I'll be more than 1 day without being able to charge because otherwise the stock battery lasts me through a normal day. That being said I'm gonna try t out during a normal day to see how long it goes, heck I may even like it so much that I may ditch the stock batt!!!

Edit: I bought it from ebay from the link posted in the OP!!
