How much does this battery/cover increase the thickness of the phone?

it does a bit...definitely feels different in your hand but it is worth it for the battery life increase. would also recommend ordering a new cover... Blue Sprint HTC Evo 3D Extended Battery TPU Hard Silicone Case is a good one that fits.

If you hold your battery outside if the case you will have an almost exact idea what it will look like. Not for everyone, but for me I like not running out if power.

It almost doubles it. It's worth it though. Mine can go for two day before I have to charge it again.

The battery is about double the thickness. The back cover makes the phone itself about double the thickness as well. However with the stock battery I was charging my phone every day, now I am charging every 3rd day. I ordered the 4200 Hyperion battery and back cover. I also ordered the Extended Battery TPU case in black to protect the phone in case I drop it. The TPU case is sold by YESOO for $7.99... it is a get overall improvement. Good luck.

Maybe .15mm....? Not too thick. Was a bit tight putting the back plate on, and you might notice the difference if you pay attention to those things. But it has never had any issues since the original installation. And it works better than my Nexus 4 with built in Wireless Charging. Well worth the money.

Not at all. The actual phone thickness is 0.8mm and the casing only adds another 0.2mm to the thickness. It does not actually add excess bulk but rather adds more grip to the phone. The actual phone without the casing is too slim for handling in my opinion.

HI. it is not overly thick and allows me to get a better grip on this phone because it is so thin. I just measured it and it is about a 1/2 inch thick. Hope this helps.

No, it does not add bulk. It is just slightly thicker than the phone, it does add a little bit of insignificant weight.

The battery is about 2x thicker than the original battery. That is why they send the new back cover with the purchase of this battery. The original back cover will no longer cover the thickness of the battery. HOWEVER, if you like the phone at all, you will LOVE the additional time the battery gives you. There have been times when I've not used my phone heavily, and been able to go two full days & nights with out recharging. There were times with the original battery that I had trouble making it to the end of the first day... They should have provided a battery of this strenght from the start! I love mine!

I would say it makes it 2 to 2 1/2 times as thick, but still not bad. It does have a "rubbery" texture which may make it harder to slide in/out of a pocket, I wear mine on my belt. It is slimmer than other otter boxes I've had. Very nice product if you're hard on your phones like I am.

Makes phone about a quarter inch thick. I don't think of it as bulky. It gave me better grip on my phone. I have smaller hands and it is not hard to hold on to. Hope this helps!

I personally don't think it adds a lot of volume to the phone. To me the added weight and thickness is barely noticeable. At least with the case I can still slip the phone into my pocket easily. Hope it helps! :)

Just a little bit thicker than the phone itself. ...The cover is really durable.

If you have an existing case for phone with stock battery, this battery will no longer allow you to use that case as this battery is about 2x thicker. Also keep in mind that this battery does not have nfc support.

I am not completely sure. My phone had other issues but I remember the battery was much thicker and that is why it came with cover to hold it. You my not like it. It was about 2 to 3 times thicker than a normal battery.

It is as thick as an average screen protector. The other question I don't know the answer to.

I don't know the exact thickness. But I'm using mine right now and it really keeps the phone super thin. You can barely tell it's on there! I would definitely invest in one.

It is close to doubling the thickness of the phone and probably adds 50% (or less) to the weight.

Quite thick. Total thickness with the phone is 3/4". The weight also increases. I used sandpaper on the case and took away the slippery problem. 3-4 days without charging is worth it.
