Trexcell 3800 mAh extended battery with Juice Defender Ultimate = No more battery problems!

So I bought the Trexcell 3800 mAh extended battery with NFC for my VZW Gnex ($20 delivered with Amazon Prime). I conditioned the battery as per the tiny manual. For the first 3 days, I was getting minimum 8-12 (depending on use) hours uptime. On May 2nd, I installed Juice Defender Ultimate and now i'm getting even more time. This combo is FULL ON WIN!

Here is a screencap 30 minutes ago (i'm now at 37% remianing charge with 16 hours and 43 minutes uptime since last connected)

The only two downsides to all of this is with Juice Defender, sometimes it takes a few more moments than I would like to reestablish the data connection. And the case that came with the battery is hideous. If anyone can recommend a good case that would protect the whole phone with the extended battery, i'd appreciate it!
 
eek. color me not impressed. i was expecting over 24 hours.
what is the screen on time? that is the main factoid in battery life...i could not touch my phone for 24 hours and i would be down to about 80%.

what was the 3g/4g/wifi usage like? also a huge factor. i feel confident i can get 2 hours screen on time and about 13 hours with constant 4g and nothing like juice defender. i got 17 hours easily this past weekend when i was mostly connected to wifi

Good for you then because I am a HEAVY wifi, 4G, GPS, video, music, net user and with the stock battery, I was getting at the MOST 4 hours use before I get that damn exclamation mark in the battery part of the notification bar. I am ALWAYS fiddling with my phone. News & Weather Widget is my most used app next the Browser+.

As of writing this, I have sent maybe 15 texts, been on the net for about 20 minutes, talked on the phone for a few minutes, and am listening to Norah Jones latest album on Google Music and my battery only went down to 35%. It also says I have about 9 more hours of usage at the current level (35%).

So, this is a HUUUUUUGE improvement for me. And mind you, my phone is stock and not rooted.
