I would say yes it does double the size of the phone but it is still manageable to hold. So kind of a funny story and unfortunate accident. Because the case was so slippery I dropped my phone and lost the extended sized case... But prior to that I was able to note the battery usage, just not to its full extent.
*Brightness was always set to Auto for both browser and homescreen
9:30AM - Off the charger. Dropped to 99% almost immediately
11:32AM - 89% WIFI with PowerAmp music listening, texting.
1:35pm - 81% 4G with PowerAmp music and light browsing.
2:15pm - 71% - 4G, in browser streamed a tv show for 12 minutes and PowerAmp music
5:11pm - 52% 4G/3G Heavy browsing and Music
Sometime later... phone dropped, lost case and just used my original standard battery.
That's a total of about 7.5 hrs of moderate usage and i had 52% left. I would say the extended battery appeared to give me great results. I really despise that glossy smooth back case though...
Also... I received this battery case from Ebay3200mAh Backup Battery Power Case And would NOT RECOMMEND it. The kickstand is extremely flimsy. The phone wobbles when inserted in the case... and most importantly, the case will not even charge my phone. I'm not against this particular seller, just this particular case.
Ironic, since I was going to post last night a joke that with a slick back and heavier device, it will be a slip magnet. Sorry I did not post it, since you might have been more firm with the grip.
