PICS: VZW Stock Battery VS. VZW Extended Battery cover

Got mine in today . . . Here's are the measurements (the piece of acrylic is about 1mm, so measure from the bottom):

The standard 1500mAh cover measures @ 9mm thick.
The extended 2100mAh comes in @ 13mm thick.
So the extended battery adds 4mm thickness to the phone.

That's much less than I expected. . . . Thoughts???

Thanks for the pictures.

4mm is not bad for 40% increase in battery life.

Great pic, can you take one with both battery covers side by side?

Is there any really noticeable weight gain?

As heavy as the phone already is, I can't tell any weight difference at all. And the thickness is barely noticeable from the standard battery. AND it's certainly not fugly like the 6700 was with the hunchback battery! LOL!

Can you post some pics with the covers on the phone? That would be very helpful. Thanks!

Nope. I'm taking pictures WITH the phone.

Wow, I was pretty close, I guessed 5mm;

Verizon 2100 mAh Extended Battery with new door!

Why a new thread for the pics?

I'd rather just go with an 18000mah slim battery and keep the same cover. Less cost fits better.
