some update for you guys.
I am switching back from the extended battery to the stock one. although the extended doesn't add much bulk, but the bulk is enough that the cover I am using doesn't fit too well also the extended makes the phone a bit heavy. I am using the Shell/Holster Combo

which is really terrific, because it has a kickstand and allows the phone to stand in landscape or portrait mode.
So I decided to get a second standard battery, and the best option is to get the battery charger with battery and y cable.

Here's an experience for you:
First I call 3 VZW stores near me looking for the charger/stand and they all say they don't have it in stock. Knowing these guys are either distracted, or simply unwilling, or unaware to search correctly for a product, I call 611 and have them search for availability near me. Two of the stores that I had call, had the charger in stock and the VZW phone rep, had the one at the nearest store keep one aside for me, which I picked up soon after.
