It's the mobile version of the Amazon page.

As djmadfx said, that is the mobile version, here is the full link

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...A3AT7H01XL35HW

If I get an extended battery, will prob be this one due to the fact it comes with both color covers. -I have white, wife has blue, so we can switch if one of us needs it more than the other that day.

It was about $27 shipped from Amazon, which I think is a steal. I'll have links to the battery and a case that fits at the bottom.

I ordered it the 31st and got it the 3rd.

The packaging it comes in is nothing fancy, but everything was bubble wrapped so it was protected fine.

It comes with two covers, both the white and blue (which is definitely a nice plus)

Just to get this out of the way it DOES make your phone twice as thick, but after using it a couple days I don't even notice a difference, it actually feels better to hold while I watch YouTube or surf the web.








Now let's get into the good stuff

This battery is a BEAST. Bottom line.

I'm definitely a power user, I'm on my phone most of the day, lots of texts, a couple calls, YouTube, and a lot of reading.

Here's my usage with the stock 2100mah battery





I usually average around 7-9 hours per charge with 2 1/2 -3hrs of screen time. For the average person the stock battery might be fine, but not for me.
Here's the QCell usage





This battery literally doubles my usage.
Averaging 16 hours and 6 hours of screen on time is enough to get me through a full day and THEN some. I actually had trouble draining it for the conditioning lol.

NFC works great, used it at McDonald's, Jack In The Box and Circle K, all with no problems.

Definitely 5 stars from me.

UPDATE (8-6-12)

Just got the Hyperion Honeycomb TPU case - this thing rocks!

It fits the phone like a glove, feels like it can take a beating, and looks A LOT better in person than the pictures on Amazon make it look.
It's not as grippy as I'd like it to be, but that's my ONLY complaint. I love the honeycomb design by the way. If you buy the Hyperion or QCell extended batteries definitely pick this up as well!









Hope this helps some of you out, and I'll do my best to answer any questions.


BTW I'm running AOKP Jellybean on Ktoonsez kernel.

How does the case hold up after being in you pocket for a while? Do the sides start to peel off or get stretched out.

any problems plugging USB or anything in? Between the extended battery and the additional case, hoping they thought it through (and sure we would have heard about it if it didn't, but gotta make sure!)

ive been looking at these cases since they are the only ones for extended batteries.

2 things bother me tho. not sure if TPU is good for drop protection (which is the main reason for me wanting a case) and whats the deal with the corner with the hole in it lol.

i already have some extended batteries and backs but they dont fit this TPU case, so id have to buy the battery kit and the the case too... grrr.... curse me and my need for a extended batt. its creating all kinds of problems.
