I originally followed a similar thread for Galaxy S2, but on the AT&T one. I thought I should posted here instead.
I ordered the GTmax 3500mAh battery as well, arrived last week on Friday.
I didn't get the chance to fully charge it initially, I started using it with the battery at 72% (straight from the mail). When I got home from work, it still had about 30%, so I thought I drained it fast by using Netflix. I watched 2 episodes, 45 minutes each, and it was still going. Also the phone and battery felt barely warm, far from hot.
I just finished running the 2nd full charge just now. So far I'm impressed
with the battery life. I got 38 hours (down to 7% before plugging into the
charger).
My previous phone habit with the OEM battery was... well, I barely used the phone aside from briefly running the apps, only when needed. Just trying hard to conserve the battery. I would run out of battery within a day, after about 14 hours.
Now, I can run the Maps, watch Netflix, use Google Docs, browse, etc... and still have enough power to run for the whole day.
I lost the NFC capability... but so far I haven't found the use for it yet. When I do, I'll just carry the OEM battery with me.
The cover actually looks pretty decent, albeit a bit more generic since it doesn't have the texture.
I'll post more photos soon.
