    Extended Batteries and Touchstone

    Hi everyone. I've had my Pre for about a week now and I think it's an awesome bit of kit. I swapped my HTC HD2 for it, and I couldn't be happier. Now for my question!

    I tend to use my Pre quite a bit for browsing the web, Facebook etc and as such I find that the standard battery drains quite quickly. As such, I was thinking of purchasing an extended battery. The thing is, I understand that extended battery cells tend to be thicker than the standard ones - so will they work with the Touchstone battery cover? Or will I need to get another battery cover that will accomodate a bigger battery?

    I'd really like to be able to have more juice AND keep the Touchstone back, as it's one of the best features of the Pre:dft009:happy

    Cheers in advance for any advice given.

    From what I've read, there are several extended batteries available that do not bulk up the phone at all, so you will be able to use your existing Touchstone compatible door. (this will be my first choice once I get my phone in a little more than a week). If you do choose a larger cell that bulks up the phone, they will come with a larger battery door, but these do not work with the touchstone (and none are available as such). There are people who have come up with ways to work around this, but the end results are quite ugly IMHO.
