@string: According to Amazon, the Anker batteries DO NOT support NFC. However, I just bought two QCell backup batteries that do support NFC and were rated pretty highly on the site for $25 (includes charger). I just really want the backups, don't care as long as the battery life is equivalent to stock. I am a regular user of NFC/Google Wallet whenever I go to CVS or McDonalds (no particular reason, I jsut get a kick out of it!). Will report back on the quality of the QCell batteries.
