One reviewer noted that the battery is thicker than the original and causes the back of the RAZR to bulge out. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have not encountered this problem with the battery I received. It fit in perfectly as it should, and produced no bulge or unnecessary stress when applying the back cover on to the phone. It's possible you may have received a faulty battery, as that is the exact thing that happened to my old droid 2 when I pulled the battery from within. For whatever reason, possibly due to it extreme use or sensitivity, something happened within the battery and caused it to grow in thickness. Placing the back cover onto that specific phone caused a bulge and questionable stress.

Problem is that the battery is thicker than the standard one and without the included back cover the original one wouldn't work with the new battery.I suspect that case your asking about is designed around the original size battery and would not work with the extended one.

Sounds like you have a definite defect in your Razr. Take it into your phone carrier immediately as that could become something serious. Any quick drains on battery are a sign of something wrong. One other recommendation is to limit the apps you download as some are basically just battery drainers. Always look at reviews before downloading as if there are complaints of battery drain do not download it until they show they have resolved that issue and even then download it and monitor the power over a day or so with limited usage. My Sony pack has kept me ready for anything and worth it in an emergency.

You have to use the new back cover. The battery is thicker and doesnt fit with the original/stock back cover.

My phone is a Mototola Razr Maxx. It has the thicker frame for the thicker battery. Fit mine fine and works like new for months now. I think you'll be fine. You can always return it. Good luck.

From the packing, it said so. I have the original one that comes with the phone and it looks a bit thicker.

Hi Elizabeth, it makes your phone thicker because it's actually as thick as 2 batteries put together. Yes it will fit perfectly. I have had it for a couple months now and am very happy. Example of how long it last, I have been up since 8am and have been streaming music all day. Plus at same time on FBI, and reading from Kindle. It is now 3pm as I am typing and I still have 62% battery life.

Yes. The battery comes with a new back plate to accommodate the thicker battery. The phone will be less sleek. It was a good tradeoff for me. The update I can provide is that the battery longevity is already on the decline so this is a little disappointing. Still, it is getting me through the better part of the day and if I get an additional charge during car rides, I get through the day. I will be more selective on my next phone acquustion to be sure the battery life hasbeen well engineered!

I have the extended battery on my phone I am just not happy with how it fits. My son and daughter have Otterboxes on their phones and they just fit better.Don't slip off the phone as mine does on occasion. I feel it should have been a tighter fit on the phone.

I put it on my wife's GS4 & used the regular back; didn't notice any bulge at all. Put her Otterbox case back on just fine too. The charger works just fine through the thick case too.

I can tell you my experience is this. I can not tell the difference at all from the original and my new ones. Also my previous phone was the droidx and I purchased an aftermarket oem battery and was very disappointed. It was not as good.

Yes, the new door that comes with the battery sticks out quite a bit. While it does look strange, the extended battery life has been fantasic! The time between charges is more than double the orignal battery.

Hello. I only know of the cover that this comes with, that takes the place of the original/stock back cover of the phone; which I had problems with due to cheap plastic, the clips broke very easily, so the cover would not stay on. As far as a full case to buy, I don't know. Good luck if you find one. I don't even use this battery anymore because of the cheap back that it came with, as explained. But the battery itself is great. Again, I hope you find what you're looking for. I'd like to know if you find one too. Maybe I'll look into getting one then.

No, this was an issue that I didn't know about also. If I had not already purchased the Razr, would have considered another choice. Still...definitely like this phone.

This has not been an issue for my HTC phone with the battery installed. I don't know if it will make a difference but try removing the battery and then put in back is and see if it makes a difference.
