I didn't buy the HTC extended battery but one from amazon sold by Karen Deals. Link is below

Shipping was lightning fast. Seller had it in the mail in 12 hours! Bought it on Wed and got it on Sat. Pretty good for being sent from across the continent (cali to minn).

Battery
The new battery has the same width and length as the stock but the height has been doubled.
Case
Looks like it's made from ABS plastic with exterior (outside of phone direction) being coated with a 'soft plastic' layer. Feels cheap but doesn't seem like it will break.
The extended battery cover made by HTC looks much better than this one since the other one has a lot more curves. I don't like the fact that it just dips down at the top and bottom. It makes the cover seem like it didn't come with the phone unlike the HTC extended battery cover which curves and has a battery stand.
Would you reccomend this battery? What is your average battery life now? Minimal use, medium, or heavy usage?
Thanks in advance
Highly recommended. I had my phone turned on at 10am and ran it until 10pm and it's got 40% left after heavy/moderate use.

this battery is only a bit thicker than the original, you cant really notice the difference, but the original cover wont fit
The original cover will in fact fit as I am using it right now - its snug but it works
Keep in mind batteries doe expand as they get heated up, and by using the standard cover it could cause issues down the road.
Why not just use the extended cover if it comes with it...? Lol apparently it doesn't make it much thicker

Just got my d3 and the car mount and the thing works very nice, good fit and good quality.

Is there a promo code or anything for the extended battery that anyone knows of?

Here's what I don't understand:
1. Number one complaint about smartphones is bad battery life.
2. Moto can fit a 150% larger battery in effectively the same physical space.
3. Moto can sell this battery for only $10 more than the normal battery.
Why is this not a standard component?

Hello guys, i've noticed that famous extended batteries for n7100 like anker, hiperion, zerolemon and seidio are not shipped in europe (except mugen that is not really cheap). What about something good for us in europe? I don't want anything like battery sold on ebay with no name.
Thank's in advance.

I'm having the same issue, it's hard to find extended batteries in Europe.
I could come up with 3 options, but all with their own rather big downside.
qmust 6400mAh: best price/performance ratio, but no reviews and it comes with a humpback cover (normal thickness near the camera, twice as thick around the battery)
price: approximately €30
colors: black
qmust 4100mAh flip cover: offers protection, and no need to remove the stock battery, but because it's an external battery that is constantly attached it can wear out your usb port, you need to remember to turn it on, and the flap can get in the way.
it probably also doesn't work with mhl or otg connectors, and may even have problems with usb data connections.
it does have a convenient little kickstand.
price: approximately €35
colors: dark grey
mugen 6400mAh: expensive, but the cover has a natural shape (same width across the entire device), I have good experience with previous batteries of this brand, it has a kickstand, color choice, and comes with a leather case/pouch.
price: approximately €75 from manufacturer but risking additional fees that can drive the price up to more than €100, or €90 bought locally.
colors: dark grey, white.
This case goes for about $15 on Amazon. I also got the same brand circle qi wireless charger to use with it.
PROS
Snap on and go, no qi sticker install
Wireless charging!
Replacement back (not an addon) with protection all around.
Added very minimal bulk overall.
Quick circle apps
Premium feel
CONS
Auto brightness dims screen so you cannot see who's calling
Slow charge (as with all wireless charging)
Been using it for a few weeks and overall really like it because of the pros listed above. Has convenience written all over it! Wouldn't have any cons if I didn't use auto brightness but my lighting situation changes often and need it. Haven't dropped it but it feels sturdy and premium. But quality is really good. Charges the same time as my other qi sticker and generic qi charger base, which is 20% to 100%in less than 3.5 hours.
The charger base itself is cool, has a blue light which dims in the dark so there's no annoying light or led on while charging in my nightstand.
Definitely worth the price for functionality and durability.
Thanks, it's very useful!

Bye a anker 16000mah powerpack for same price and charge on the go instead
Why should I go with a wire and a big brick attached to the phone, when I can swap the phone's battery ?
If you want an external battery, go for this one (10Ah for $30 and it's 15mm thick which fits large smartphone belt pouch)

BH also sells it for same price.
