eh i dunno. You could end up with a battery that barely exceeds your stock on, and your phone is bigger than a brick.

I bought one myself a few weeks ago. Big mistake. So much added bulk and it lasted on average a half hour more than my stock 1300 mAh battery. Skip this one and move on. Save yourself the disappointment.

I bought 2 of those w/ a charger for $20 shipped a while back. At first, both batteries outperformed the stock and the Seidio 1750 battery by quite a bit. However, after about 3 months, the performance dwindled down to being on par with the stock 1300. They worked well in the beginning, but wore themselves out rather quickly.

Bit the bullet and bought a Sedio 3500 and haven't looked back.

Purchased a similar battery and will never do so again. Battery was shot within a month.

Have you found a decent case for the larger size back?

just gonna say, I honestly feel that it's worth springing for the 3500 seidio.

Mines lasted through 5 months, with really good longevity. And is still kicking with the same (as far as i can tell) amount of capacity.
When I'm not going crazy with power use during school the battery will last around 4 days of pretty normal use.

When it comes to like super power use the battery will last 2 days. And I'm talking about 6-10 hours of browsing the internet, a bunch of texts, music, youtube, xda, etc.

So at least to me, I'd rather pay more (in this case definitely a difference in price) and know I'm getting a good product.
