Yes it is thicker. You will get that with most of the extended batteries. Now it does fit the original pouch that came with my phone. Also, the reason why the hump is there, is due to the speaker and camera. I read up with the extra thickness, there was a gap where the speaker is, and that gap wasnt sealed with some of the backs. People had to mod them to fill the gap using rubber rings. With the camera that extra gap left the picture with a 'ring' around it. I just figured i'd stay OEM that way i knew it could be fine and made for the phone.
