Battery mod

Can anyone provide feedback on the battery mod?

Under heavy use I get about 36 to 48hrs out of my force and the tumi battery mod.

Do you leave the battery mod on all the time? How is the weight for you?

I leave it on most of the time. It's pretty heavy, certainly heavier than your standard phone. But it's far lighter than a phone with a Mophie or other battery case or extended battery. It's a really nice solution for people who want a phone with essentially a huge battery, but not one of those crazy huge battery cases or Zerolemon extended batteries.

During the first 3 days I had the mod on constantly through 2 full discharges and the weight was more than my last 2 phones but it's tolerable.

I get bout a little over a day with the mod. I'm a really heavy user though.

One thing to note is that (at least for my usage), the Z Force gets pretty incredible battery life even without a mod. With the battery mod, it's just ridiculously good.

Biggest complaint about the Tumi with the wireless charging is that it feels kind of slippery in my hands

It seemed slippery when I tried it at a Verizon, which is why I think I'd prefer the Incipio one.

I agree, which is why I'd love a GOOD bumper case to put over the phone with a mod on it (not the cheap one Verizon is selling).

Got the incipio at best buy and it feels way better than the tumi.

I got the TUMI non wireless one and I like it. I was at home the other night and was down to about 25% on the phone battery and I got a call from work. I was asked to go to the scene of an emergency situation we were having. I slapped the Tumin on the phone and it lasted the whole 4 hours of constant use and still had 75% left on the phone and 40% on the TUMI. When I use it I just leave it on the phone and charge it overnight. I usually don't leave it on the phone but only use it if i am getting low. It was a lifesaver the other night. Changing the subject how does everyone carry extra mods? I have the battery and the JBL speaker.

Just exchanged the Tumi for the Incipio. MUCH better feel. So much easier to hold.

Weird that Incipio isn't selling their Mod directly... They have the StyleShells, but not the OffGrid mods.

For sure. I returned my Tumi mod as well. To slippery. I'm going to get the Incipio as well soon. I'll probably get it Wednesday.

I tried it and the mod wouldn't sit flush on one corner

Which one? I had the exact same issue with my first Incipio. But the second one is perfect.

Interesting. I had it happen with the Incipio.

From what I understand the Tumi is a rebranded Incipio
