Batteries

Did anyone come out with a battery that used the stock back cover but gave us more power?

I've seen the ones with new covers, etc, but I don't want added girth to my already awesome phone.

I bought two of these...they seem a little better than stock, but nothing crazy:
SAMSUNG Galaxy Note i9220 N7000 ANDIDA 2600mAh Slim Extended Battery - WORLDWIDE | eBay

This was not the seller I got them from...seems the seller I got them from dos not have any more Note batteries.

Does it at least help you last a day? Mine ain't bad; by end of day I have 20-30%; just like a little backup just in case.

I don't use it enough to need a 5400 size battery or a phone 3 times as thick.

I leave the house around 8am with 100%, with 'light' use during the day (2-3 calls, 4-5 texts, a few mins surfing, a few pics) and get home with about 80% on LTE (approx 4pm). Its used more heavily after that, and I have about 20-30% by about 11pm.

I would say its a little better than stock, but barely noticeable for me (but worth it).

Sounds good; I do A LOT of exchange email so I like to have my phone going.

With my relocation to Philadelphia, my commute is now on a train. I'm not going to have the convenience of plugging it into my car and charging it while I drive home.
