Just to know: here is a much less expensive one of this battery:

I bought also this battery from etechtronics first. The shipping-time was very-very long (nearly 3 months!!) But then I have problems with it. After loading: If I want to put on my OFF-XDA flame, this does not go. I must always before give start-help with the Cable of charging current. In addition: The cover is very angular and bad formed like a block with unpleasantly edges.
Now I bought and I am completely content also the 3800mAh-mugon-battery (Shipping-time only 2 days!): It's more beautiful cover with beautiful rounded edges and the battery works also, when starting immediately without problems, I mean: Without using my cable of charging. The first battery (from etechtronics) is now only than stand-by battery in my bag.
I cannot recommend this battery, on the other hand the Mugon-battery very much in a better chievement and very nice cover!

That's interesting. As I said, mine was here in days, and I don't have any problem with this battery. Charging works well, i don't have any power-off problem with it. The cover design is a subjective thing, so if you don't like, you don't like. Especially I love it. Retro-design. In my opinion the other cover is bigger and uglier.

The back-cover is very angular and bad formed like a block with unpleasantly edges, indeed, a subjektive thing, but I don't like it - compared with the 3800mAh-mugon-battery, which lies in my hand many more comfortably!

Your Flame sould be more confortable in a pocket than mine with the mugen battery.

Does anybody have an idea or has seen a leather case solution for an extended battery like yours ?

I am really interestet in purchasing the mugen extended battery. Actually I am pretty concerned about the case options.
I have read about the silicon case which can be used.
I would be very happy if someone could write here more about his or her experiences with casing and extended battery.
Right now I am using a leather case but with the extended battery I am scared to damage my device (even with silicon case and screen protector).
Maybe there is somebody could post a picture please ?

You want a picture with the silicon case?
I will do it today, if nobody does it before me.
But in fact, I have not cased my Flame since I had my muggen. The battery already increases the thickness, as the silicon case done it. So both at the same time would be too much.
I only use the silicon case when I am in the car and use the Flame as gps. That way the flame does not move because the silicon case grips on the dashboard.

i bought the 38000mAh mugen battery from ebay, the battery is GREAT!!!!

it make my flame so much more useable now as the battery time is so much longer...

I use the extended battery, I have a case for the regular one and no protection for the extended one. But once you are hooked on the large battery it is hard to go back to the regular one! What a great feeling going through the day with a bright screen, processor set at "performance" and no battery worries! Music, WiFi, you name it.

I bought 3150 battery for my xda flame and still wait for it. But now I'll buy another one from mugen because of quality of these products.

Why so? I bought 3500 Chinese battery for my xda 2i and another one 2800 for my friends xda 2i. First one simply doesn't display charge status (100% or 0% - wtf are these Chinese make?!) and second one has bad contact so the device can turn off when pressed near call-off button.
Having such experience I’d recommend buying batteries from mugen without having any problems in the future with design or even power functions.

Why this Mugen good battery does not have dealers in other countries?

I just ordered the Mugen 3800mAh battery and back cover.

How long do they take to ship and, how long did it take to receive?

I get the feeling my device will be obsolete by the time I get the battery lol

Yes, I have same question? Do these take long to ship? I have received the invoice from their web site but until now (5 days later no shipping # and they are not answering my email enquiry?
