I have the grip on nearly all the time, apart from the battery and better hold benefits it also is a great desk stand for the phone. With the glance screen on it is a great desk/night stand clock replacement.
The only downside is that it makes the phone a bit bulky, and if you carry it in a purse, backpack or other bag it is hard to find a case that fits the phone when the grip is on.
I eventually got a Caselogic Flat Screen GPS Case for it, to protect it when I was camping and hiking, it fits just right when the grip is on the phone, it does add some bulk, but I still managed to carry it in a pocket on my hiking shorts.
For a more 'in town' use I wanted to wait for the Nokia Leather case, but depending on what I wear and the poket sizes I have available, most of the time I just leave the grip on.
