How hard do you have to press to get the cover back on with this battery and is there a bulge? Is the battery too big as some indicated?

I have not found the battery to be too big. i have two of these now and neither of them has any bulge, or any difficulty with closing the back.

Battery fits my Galaxy S4 (Sprint just a little snugger than OEM battery). The battery must go in correctly (top first). It is no thicker and I didn't have any problem putting the cover back on.

It's just slightly bigger, all of the extra batteries I have had are this way. I'm not shy with putting it in, it's never been a problem for me. Your not going to break it.

You dont have to press hard. Its only slightly bigger than the stock one but its worth it. You get so much more battery out of this battery than the stock one.

If you have problems closing the case or are able to "Spin" the battery on a hard surface it has failed. When these batteries fail they bulge in the center and you can then spin it on a table. When that happens you should replace it. If its under warranty Anker will replace it for free, no problem.

Yes, it is slightly thicker than the OEM, but that doesn't seem to be much of a problem, BUT some phone cases, especially the "flippy" type will not fit with this battery in the phone.

There are catches built in to the battery box so that the battery does not fall out when you hit the battery eject button. There is nothing else to hang up on, so just give it a good yank. I probably would not pry on it with anything except your hands. You can always call Browning Customer Service.

The battery fits but doesn't lock in. I have to be careful not to grab the computer by the battery or it will come out. My screen opens all the way but the battery does rub.

I was stumped too at first. The battery cover is under the handle. Just lift it a bit and you'll see the edges of the battery cover. I remember it sliding off, although it's been a while.

Mine is a tight fit as well. Perhaps yours are built a little on the large side, but for me, it is better than the oem batterry that falls right out. My two batteries do fit easier than the zerolemon extended battery. That one has to go in a certain way and takes some added effort.

The battery sticks out about 0.15" from original battery. If you have seen a cover or case for the phone, they are molded for the phone having an extended battery.

The following is from a comment from an Amazon customer who purchased the mouse: "I realize I wasn't thinking outside of the box enough, but it took me five minutes (I actually timed this) to figure out how to take off the battery cover. There's a button on the bottom of the mouse to depress, but when I pushed it, nothing happened. I figured the cover was stuck so eventually I tried prying it off with various sharp objects, but I succeeded only in gouging the plastic. Turns out that what appears to be the cover is not. The cover that comes off is in fact that part of the mouse you'll likely be holding when you press the cover release button. It's horribly counterintuitive, and the diagram in the directions does nothing to help you out here." Hope this helps.

It's substantially larger (about twice as thick) and heavier (at least twice as heavy) than the original battery. Any case made for use with the standard battery won't fit (but there are cases made for the larger batteries). In my opinion, these trade-offs are worth the extended battery time.

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!

The part that you hold in your hand slides off the head part. Kind of like sliding or pulling a knife out of its sheath. Then you can easily see where the battery fits.

Hi, I just bought a battery and had no issues with any problems you mentioned. Sometimes, it may be hard to get the batter out, but a tap on a firm, but soft surface (like your padded seat) will get it out. I get about 2.5 hours out of the battery but, hey, it was $18.

The battery is securely in the foregrip. A little tricky to take out first time.

very slight larger bulge then without but nothing noticeable. I would recommend putting a double sided sticky tape and attaching it to this so that is aligns right every time you remove and replace the back cover. I like this form factor better then ones that are permanently affixed to a back side cover which I have seen since this allows you to change out the back cover to different formats such as a back cover that also has a front cover.

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.

I have managed to squeeze this cover (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004YZL51U) around the battery as long as I leave off the cover that comes with the battery. The soft cover I use is more than adequate to hold in the battery, since the battery presses against it. (Note that you have to give the protective cover a day or two to stretch after the first time you put it on.)

i did not find it difficult at all....need to remove some screws to remove the cover panels. once the cover panels(side covers} are off simply remove the POS+ and neg - terminals and replace the battery.
