Honestly, I'm all for it if it means bringing back ridiculously sized phone batteries with huge bumps that can act as a finger shelf. My note 2 with a 4200mah battery was a beast in 2013.

Or the Zero Lemon 9000mAh battery back for that phone. Insane capacity, but a "tad" bulky.

Totally forgot about the complete back replacements like that! I'll take 5. . Week long battery life here I come.

The Note 2 was my favorite phone. The replaceable back with the cover option was the best. Want your phone to look brand new? That'll only cost $20.

I never replaced the battery though.
