The Body Glove makes it more like the Mogul screen.

"Energy Management" (like rooting into a great battery-saving ROM, and/or other tricks) is the key, IMO, not battery swapping, at least on anything but an emergency basis. A higher capacity battery would be my 2nd choice. But to each his own, just my opinion.......

i have a body glove case and had to have it replaced already because eventuall the locking lugs snap off the corners... i didnt get hassled by bodyglove inc. for the first replacement. lets see how happy they are to replace it every three months...

and to remain on topic... ebay has loads of chinese cheapies
