All that slips into my dress slacks pocket opposite my keys and change.
Since I am a big guy (6'2" 250#) it is not at all uncomfortable or noticeable in my pocket.

I'm just curious...what in the world do you do that would make you need to carry all that around with you??

And is change in the same pocket as a battery really that bad?

Edit: Love the set-up Aaron!

why not just get an extra capacity battery that lasts twice as long and forget about it?

'Cause it makes your phone look like a pet, lol!

Naw, I was interested in the 2600 mah that just came out, but I just can't get over the hump, lol The Chinese back cover's on ebay for the 3000/3500 batteries look better, over all, than Sprint's and Seido's back, but they are still huge though. My barber ordered a Chinese battery, so I'll see it in person soon enough.

Another option (which I ended up going with even though I have two spare batteries) is to get an external battery. The one I got is 11.1 Ah (enough to charge the battery 7 times!). It's not something you would want to carry in your pocket, but if you have a bag, it's no big deal. Its great for traveling.

I'm not sure how long the tabs will survive on the back popping it on and off all the time to change batteries... I feel like I am going to break something every time I remove it.

That's a cool idea. Like an "Insta-Charger"!!! I'd always forget to look one up, including now, that you've reminded me, lol Cool solution.
