Onite 2300 mAh Battery

has anyone taken the plunge to buying this battery?

Amazon.com: Onite 2300mAh Battery with NFC for Samsung Galaxy S3 SIII GT-i9300, compatible with i747 (AT&T), T999 (Verizon), i535(Sprint) + Charger: Cell Phones & Accessories

it's not really an "extended" battery, as it only has 2300 mAh (200 mAh more than the stock battery).

i'm really just looking for an extended battery that can fit with the stock battery cover (and it seems like the next one up from this one is a 3200 mAh but requires a new battery cover). but i've been seeing bad reviews from July that the battery didn't fit. with it October now, i'm not seeing anything that this has been resolved, but haven't been seeing any complaints either.

i've also seen the Hyperion 2200 mAh and Anker 2200 mAh batteries. does anyone have any feedback on these batteries?

The Onites work fine. There was an issue when they were 1st released that they didn't fit the S3, but GreyBean (seller) was VERY helpful and proactive and sent me replacements without my asking. The ones shipping now are fine.
I have noticed they they don't hold a charge on the shelf. I can charge it to 100% in the phone and then remove it. If I put it back in the phone a few weeks later the charge starts around 96%. They are a good inexpensive backup battery. Just remember, these do not have a NFC antenna so and NFC operations will not work with these batteries installed (Google Wallet, S Bean, Android Beam, etc.)

thanks for the reply. NFC doesn't really bother me too much, especially since AT&T is blocking Wallet anyways.

but i think Onite has new versions out? since that Amazon link says it has NFC? maybe?
