Man of Honour
Don't take this personally, but I'm curious as to why you're so obsessed with all these cases and addons, aren't you over the novelty of the phone yet? Do you really use the phone so much that you even need an extended battery which will presumably increase the nice slim profile?
No offence taken and normally I don't feel anyone needs to explain such a thing to another person because why is pretty obvious usually! But I will in this instance.
The phone is still slimmer than most other competing phones with the extended battery. My interest in accessories is for 3 reasons:
1) I like playing with stuff, I like seeing how things go together and posting my thoughts on them online.
2) Carrying on from the above, I feel comparisons and feedback on various accessories will (and do) help people on deciding what accessories to buy for their phones because not everybody wants to have to buy lots of different things and then keep the one they like and have to sell the other stuff at reduced cost due to be it being used.
3) I can get many things for free so the only investment on my part is time. Spending time reviewing them via posting my thoughts with pictures. Stuff I can't get for free I will buy then give away to someone later on for free.
Over all the most important thing is that I can help a few people out at the very least and answer questions and requests for anyone else. some people might think such an obsession is weird but I've never been one to let what some people think stop me from doing something I enjoy.
As for the extended battery, I do make use of the better charge capacity. The last few weddings I have shot have been in low signal areas and often I will find that due to low signal the phone has to work harder to keep signal strength so the battery does drain a bit quicker. I need usage of my phone for both voice an data during such events so making sure there's enough juice to last the entire day from morning to evening is quite important.
The extended battery removes any worry of potentially running out of juice and having to run to the car to charge it. It also means I can go a whole weekend without having to charge the phone. convenience is the point being made here if that wasn't obvious
And that is why the novelty of playing with accessories and gadgets never wears off, for me anyway.
