HTC Branded OEM Battery

and this case and battery

I dont plan on letting that cheap battery anywhere near my EVO, will EBAY it or give it to a homeless guy, but the case could hold my HTC branded battery just fine... hopefully it fits.

Jeez that case is too fat... I'd be down for a 1900-2000 mah battery and back cover that just thickens the phone enough so that the camera lens is flush with the rest of the phone.

Im willing to sacrifice more... because what I realized is it isnt often that I look at the back of the device... I just want it to have increased functionality...

Meh...the case isn't to bad, but I'm not one to want "added bulk".anyhow please keep us updated on how the battery performs compared to stock.

Its the HTC branded 2150 battery, so it should add about 40%... from what Battery Boss said in their ratings, this battery achieved 100% of its advertised power rating, so I expect to go from 6 hours heavy use to 9 hours heavy use... 14 hours moderate use to 20 hours moderate use... and 26 hours light use to 38 hours light use... so long story short I expect to get a day and a half of use out of this thing before even thinking of a recharge... I guess only time will tell if the added bulk kills me... but ultimately I am sick of these phones having such amazing features and the battery life dwindling down to crap... give me a phone that goes a solid 2 days without recharging so I never feel that I cant use my phone in an emergency...

Its definitely not as big as the hunchbacking Mugen battery.... but I was looking for a middle ground battery... Ill have screen shots before and after I add the back, as well as screen shots next to a Droid X for comaprison... My guess is it will be no thicker than the Droid X where the Camera portion is... which to me is where the Droid X should be measured anyway...
