How's it feel to hold?! Honestly that doesn't look TOO bad to me. Still ugly.. but that battery life must be nice haha. Tempting. I doubt I throw money down for it, but still.

Feels great! Its definatly heavier. The texture feels like the original. Holding it put my fingers under the battery. Much eaiser to hold.

I bought mine about two weeks ago and love it. Makes the phone a great size. Never saw the advantage of a paper thin phone. I get approx 30 hours per charge.

If there was a case for this I'd buy it instantly, no doubt.

I have the Hyperion 3800mah with NFC. Had it for a couple days now and I love it. I cut the back out of my diztronic tpu case and I really like it. No complaints and the battery life is awesome. It was like 22 bucks shipped from eBay.

anyone ran across any other cases that would work using a 3800 battery?

I've had mine for four days now, and I'm very disappointed so far. I've done exactly what the directions said in terms of using the entire battery before charging again, and I'm seeing very little difference between this battery and the 2100 MAH battery. I usually start my day around 6:30 AM and by 4:00 or so, my phone needs charging. I actually turned the brightness down a good bit on Saturday to see if that would help, but there is no evidence it did anything.

I'm not rooted at this point. Any other suggestions on what to do?

I have the same after market battery and I’m having the same problem. I am rooted and I have tried everything I know and it still won’t last any longer than my 2100 MAH battery, if that long. I’ve been testing it for the last week and have had no better luck. Lesson learned, I got what I paid for.

Just tested the NFC on the Hyperion I have and it worked perfectly at McDonalds. Overall very satisfied for 23 bucks.

Directions?

Mine didn't come with directions.
What were we supposed to do?

Let the initial charge go to zero, fully charge, repeat a few times in order to "condition" the battery.
