Phone batteries and PowerBoost

Hi all,
Just wondering... Got mi lipo battery and it won't fit in my case, can't do anything about that. I saw in another post mentioning using phone batteries as quite convenient - they are small and have a big capacity. How do you guys connect these to the power circuit? What phone batteries do you recommend? Do they work with the PowerBoost or do you have a different power charger/boost converter for that? I'd be pretty happy for any powerboost 100c alternatives, as it's 3 months out of stock here. Yet I'm still waiting. Besides that,, I'll be using another simple boost converter to about 6V for the screen if it turns out too complicated to work with 5V.

I ended up removing the pogo pins and soldiring a jst connector directly to the battery terminals. I get well over 4 hours play time.

Is this compatible with the PowerBoost then? Seen the images of your GBZ, but haven't seen it in place...
