Welcome to Android Forums.
Turn off GPS, Wi-Fi, sync, Bluetooth and 4G when not in use.
Watch for apps that update too often (email), kill background apps (stock task manager). Low signals (3G/4G) will drain batteries quickly.

If you install an extended battery it will change the back-plate to an uncommon size.
