Anyone use the Laza 3500 mAh batter/door?

Found this 3500 mAh battery/door combo, and it looks like a decent quality product. Wanted to see if someone had their own review of the battery, to see what it is like. For less than $30, with free shipping, that's not too bad. I know I may be able to buy a $10 extended battery/door from eBay, but the cheapest thing isn't always the best thing.

This appears that someone bought the cheapo Chinese battery with cover for $9- just added a red android sticker and charge $30. I would say go for the Chinese battery instead.

I just ordered a 3500mA battery off Ebay today. I can post my results when I get it. I am sick of the battery dying so fast. Apparently I use mine so much it can't even stay charged when I am plugged into the outlet all day. Granted I am on it a lot playing poker but being plugged in it should last longer than a hour and a half.

I decided to order the ebay 3500 battery (got it from a US supplier, for $16 shipped). At first the battery wasn't fantastic. Definitely lasted longer than stock, but wasn't like my seidio 3500. It seems to be doing much better now. It doesn't seem to do great during standby, but I know the battery drain is less when I'm using the device, compared to the stock battery.

The 8$ battery and cover have been A- OK for me, getting me thru a day of heavy use NP. Typically will get me a day and a half of solid useage...

First full day on my 3500 battery. It lasted me 6 hours before dying. This is with heavy usage. Mainly Live Hold'em poker the whole time. Using mostly 3G. Sent a few texts, and one short phone call. I play a lot of poker lol. Pretty impressed so far.

do you guys have a really bad signal as well? I had the extended battery for the mogul and it would last me days with several push/imap emails/exchange and txting/inet. How can the evo go 6 hours with extended battery? lol that sounds pretty bad.

Is your phone dying while it's plugged in? Is that what you meant?

I recently got one of these. I was expecting it to be a Chinese turd, but frankly I'm amazed at the battery life.

Does anyone know of a silicone cover for the extended back
