My battery seems to drop pretty fast, and I'm on an iP4. Turned off all my location services except for maps, so we'll see if that does anything.

Lol yeah I just bought a new case. Before I used a snap on case with no front protection and now I'm using the vapor chroma red. Gotta say for a case that costs $150 shipped it doesn't offer much protection. It's just all looks lol but I guess I can't complain since akuma_z gave it to me for free

if you spend that much money, make sure you get a case that actually does what a case is suppose to do; protect your phone.

if they don't replace it, you can buy some parts on ebay:

Repair Camera Flash Light Cover iPhone 4G | eBay

Apple iPhone 4 Original -5.0 mega pix Camera w/Flash | eBay

heres a guide to replace:
Installing iPhone 4 Rear Camera - iFixit

not too hard if you have the tools.

For people using iPhone 4S with unreasonable battery drop.

Did you restore from your previous iPhone or started as new?

My 4S showed 15% decrease on standby over 6 hours when I restored my iPhone 4 backup to it. However, the battery life behaves much better when I did a full erase and started it as new (Standby 1 day, 2 hours with 5 hours of usage @ 40%).

Since I use iCloud for contacts and calenders, the only thing that I had to do for the "starting up as new" was to adjust my setting and add back my app.

Here are some of my stuff I turn on 24/7. Wifi, Bluetooth, 3G, Location Service and basically everything that people are saying its draining the battery.

I also did a battery calibration by draining the battery and recharging it to full. If nothing works, then wait for Apple to release a software update. Their engineers have been working with a few selected people that experience the battery life problem.

Been running iOS 5 on my 3GS for almost a week now on the semi-tethered jailbreak. Significantly faster than on iOS 4.x jailbroken, and the battery life is about the same.

@vansterdam we had a discussion about those cases a year ago in the iPhone 4 thread.
The mophie juice ones arent bad. I'd say it charges at least 50% of your battery? Someone bought the eBay and deal extreme ones and had a bad experience lol the mophie and blackbox ones are pretty good but they leak battery even when you don't use them
I personally prefer the juice pack plus over the marketplace because I hate how chunky it feels. I stopped using the case after 2 weeks lol
