Hi everyone!

I delayed a couple of weeks ordering it, but I've had the battery for about four days now!

1) The cover is BAD. It's cheap cheap cheap plastic and the fit is very poor. It over hangs a tiny bit and doesn't feel sturdy at all.

2) The battery is actually really good! I'm running WDM's wicked manila2d ROM. Before I upgraded to WDM's ROM, with a bit of surfing, bit of texting and maybe 10-15 mins talk time I would get between 8-12 hours at best. Once I upgraded to WDM's ROM, I now get about 12-20 hours. Wiith WDM's ROM and this 2200mah battery, no joke, I got 60 hours out of it and didn't even kill it! I think it was at about 8-10% left when I finally recharged. Really impressed with the battery life, it should be this way stock!

As far as living with the cheap cover/poor fit, I have a cheap (less than $5 on ebay) silicon case for the Touch that I never really loved, it just wasn't quite a tight enough fit for me to keep on using. Well, with the bigger cover on, it actually stretches the silicon tight enough for an actual perfect fit! I've since gone back to the beautiful stock cover and lame battery for day to day use, but for $8.50 I now have an awesome travel battery! Next order I make from DX I will definitely get another one just for the battery.

I highly recommend this product as long as you're ready for the suckiness of the cover.

One quick question, what is the best way for me to store the 2200mah battery if it might be a month or two until I need it? Should i run it out and leave it uncharged, or with a full charge?
