Anyone ever try something like this before?

Sure there are the standard ones from Duracell and Verizon and what not....but how about a 5000mah monster from Hong Kong?

That's dirty cheap for something like that....my main concerns being, does it actually work, will it damage my phone, and is it really 5000mah.

Considering how quickly it was removed...I'd say you have less to worry from them

I dunno. 5k is a HUGE battery to have on the back of such a sleek phone. And probably way more than overkill for 90% of the users out there.

Got good reviews, monstrous capacity, and good price. Won't use it all that often, plus it's nicer to plug that in than remove an otterbox to switch batteries.
