I knew I had to have this battery when I saw someone else's. It's perfectly flush with the phone. The phone is even easier to carry in a pocket, so I end up carrying it even more often.The other owner complained about talk time limitations, but I charge often and talk briefly, so I don't expect it to be a problem for me.My example of this battery from Amazon.com is more cheaply made than the one I saw, and does not snap perfectly flush to the phone, but instead hangs out a maddening 1/16&quot;, creating a rough edge. This ruins the illusion of engineering perfection, but whaddayagonnado? If I returned every slightly defective item these days, I'd be living in a perfect refrigerator box somewhere.
