I.wouldn't buy none of those Hong Kong ****s... Look for the beast battery I believe..

I am starting to think they are all the same, just different stickers. I can bet if someone does a sticker pull on Beast, Gorrilla, ebay, i bought this one more for the case than for the battery. If i really want good battery life i will just stick 2 stock batteries together and parallel the leads together.

NOT GONNA LIE AWESOMEEE!!!!

On a serious note, people buy this battery. It does not extend your phone so that it is uncomfortable, but rather makes it sit in your hand as you would naturally hold it. I have gone through many batteries and found that this is legit.( I bought Anker batteries and the red white yellow ones from eBay) I tried to put the BEAST battery through games and apps and it still wouldn't die. I turned on 4g for about 2 hrs, (signal for like 30 min lol), and had WiFi on for most of the day. I was not trying to save battery, I was trying to kill the *****. Played about 20 min (each) of Jelly Defense. Sentinel 3, escape the room, Death worm etc... Long story short, it is 947 and my battery is still at 24%. When this dies I will let you guys know!!

P.S. I am going back and forth with the amazon seller because I did not have the option to pick the battery door color when it shiipped. He emailed me back and said I chose the white one as he has two pages on his store. I looked through the store and there is only one listing.

The cover is the HTC silicone skin.

I concur with the review above! I have both the gorilla battery and the beast now and I am loving both but the beast seems to be holding up better. I have been using it on the charge it came with from the seller at 61% from 12:30pm and now at 830 its only down to 47%. Both batteries are great but for the price and the awesome back cover that fits like a glove I would definitely go with the beast!

That looks awesome. Do you mind if you share details on how you made the cuts haha? I'm planning on buying a cheap Chinese Silicone case and doing the same.

After a few months with the replacement gorilla battery (larger size, same capacity) I ordered "the beast" from Amazon and its identical to the original gorilla gadget featured in the beginning of this thread. Unfortunately it is suffering from the same thing that the first gorilla gadget battery did with the cover cracking around the power button. Back on goes the modified tpu case.....smh

    Sorry to hear about your misfortune buddy ):
    I just rrcieved my gg battery today, the cover is much cheaper and isn't quite as flush.. though I am surprised how well the buttons feel, they're better than both of my stock covers. I will reply layer today with battery life. But keep in mind I use my phone a lot
    Edit: I will also take some pictures In a few

    Has anybody tried the Beast Mobile 3500 mAh extended battery? It looks Smexy in white :D. It looks a lot like the GG and Expansy extended battery. Being the cheap person that I am, I'm thinking of just getting the Expansy battery :(.
