I found a powerskin cover for $45 last week and decided to buy it, so far I've only been able to get about an extra 8 hours from the extra battery, but I'm hoping that after a few more charges it will get better. It's about the same size as the mugen battery and door, but is removable, and protective. The piece hanging out of the left side of the phone sucks but I am getting used to it. I'll report back if the battery life gets better.

So the extended battery lasted from 8am-until now. 9.5 hours on It's third charge. This is with arhd 3.6.0 with faux 1.9 kernel. Brightness at 40% and WiFi connected the entire time.

The power skin is always used first and will charge the oem batt if connected at a later time. So far it seems to perform about as stated by the company.

It's a great accessory if u don't mind the side bulk....

I find the anker to be more suitable plus no changes cosmetically to the device..

I'm testing out a chichi now

So far, the side hasn't bothered me. I hold the phone in my right hand and text with swype, only issue I have is the silicone sticking to my pockets when I try to get the phone out. Had the same issue with a standard soft case too.

htc sensation

Is this the only power skin you know of? Overall would you say it made a difference i'm a heavy user of internet and apps so any extra cordless time would be great. Could you post a link of where you purchased this.. Thanks

It does make a difference. I have only been using the phone lightly today and am still on the extended battery. So far from 8am-7pm. No WiFi use today only radio between edge and 4g all day. This is the only one I have been able to find and cost ranges from 40-70 online. The link is in post 3.

Thanks man, having a sensation is awesome but watching some Samsung users using there phones twice as long makes me think twice about buying an htc next time. Other than that and the screen color density, we got them beat.
