I've had mine for a couple of weeks now. I was really hoping this would help my phone make it through the day, but it won't. With normal use it still dies in early evening, just like the stock battery, and with frequent use it still dies in early afternoon, just like the stock battery, both times when taking it off the charger with a full charge around 8 a.m. I'd say at best this battery may extend the battery life an hour at best, for me.

But for an extra battery for $10 it's a great deal! If you're buying this battery to see a significant increase in your battery life, you'll be disappointed.

So it's a good extra battery at a great price, that doesn't run hot, and hasn't blown up, for me. Your experiences may vary. I think I'll order another one--but only for another spare.
