I was going to order the Seidio 2000 mAh batter and cover but since shipping to Hawaii was going to cost me $20, I decided to get the one from Ebay sold by Nakedcellphone - EXTENDED BATTERY 2400mAh FOR SPRINT HTC TOUCH XV6900.

I got it at the $69.99 price with the $5.95 shipping and received my item in 5 days. My item came in yesterday and was charged over night so I don't know the actual time to fully charge it. From 7a to 4p with only few calls the battery percentage at 100% did not drop. For the next 2 hours I connected to my Slingbox full screen and max volume (I'm actually surprised I didn't lose any connection) I got it to drop down to 70%. So far its working GREAT!!! I connected back to my Slingbox again almost another hour and I think I'll still be over 50%. I'm not going to charge it tonight... we'll see how it goes for another day.

The Overall thickness brings it to about 3/4 of an inch with the extended battery. Personally I thought the original was too thin for me. The feel of the cover is the same and snaps on fine. There is a small gap from the eye of the camera so it is not flush. The speaker hole does not have any surrounding inside so there is lots of space where the sound can bounce around. I can't tell if there is any difference though.

If I can figure out how to make a flush push button LED light by the camera eye I just might... there's enough room for it.

I don't know the nakedcellphone guy and not trying to sell them. Spending over $40 on a cell phone battery is damn expensive for anyone! I'm just giving you folks a review..... Aloha!
