Hi - I would proceed with caution, having weighed up comments from several different forums about this issue.

I have not used my pouch for the last 5 days and the battery has definitely behaved better. However, in my opinion the battery is draining a little even with light or no use at all. There must be something else other than the pouch which makes this combination of factors result in unsatisfactory battery life. I am afraid that many users who frequently have their phones on charge or plugged in to a PC are missing evidence of the pure battery drain - it really is any issue. I previously had an 8300; 8320; 8700. None of these showed the same fault - and were always kept in their pouches whenever possible.

Personally I will be more comfortable when RIM issue an official fix. They are probably using us all as guinea pigs right now in advance of this.
