Heres my quick review.
Pics are here: http://se47.8m.com/main.html

The clear housing and blue flashing battery are from DayDeal.com

THE HOUSING:

Took me like 25mins to switch the housing(after an hour of searching for tools lol).

The housing is low quality, it feels cheap. It fits the insides of the phone very tightly. The #keys really fit well, the OK and arrows fit fairly well. Doesn't slide smoothly anymore, also makes creaking/cracking noises when you handle it. The housing seems smaller than the Kyocera one, it doesnt fit in the holster i use anymore lol.

The battery part on the back of the housing didn't fit the battery well, it was too tight, the battery stuck out, and fell out very easily. I had to cut off a tiny bit of the top two corners of the part that holds the battery. The lil clip that holds the battery on had some excess plastic that I also cut off. After these adjusts the battery fits and stays in place.

The silver part(on the front with LCD) is glued on the housing, it seems that it will come off easily. I guess I can re-glue it if it does.
The black paint on it peels off extremely easily.

Overall I'd give this one a 5/10 (if you take the regular housing as a 10)

THE BATTERY

The battery is of great quality.

So far the life of this battery has been the same, if not better, then the regular one. Its only been 2 days though, I'll post again about it after it gets a couple weeks of use.

It feels the same as the regular battery and is also the same size so it fits perfectly well in the regular housing.

The lights are very bright, I dont know if people would consider that a good thing or a bad thing. I like it

Only problem I've noticed so far is that it doesnt always flash when you get a call, it does so about half the time. It also flashes half the time you use the web browser. And half the time you turn the phone on/off. It has flashed every time I've made a call though. And it randomly flashes once in a while.

I'd give the battery 9/10 from how its performed so far.

If anyone has any questions/requests feel free to ask.
