GoodandEvo shows the horrible quality of the Seidio 3500 battery cover. Smh

HTC EVO user receives Seidio 3500mAh battery, breaks latches by next day

Just... yuck.

No product maker has every item perfect. There's always going to be some with problems. I've always had good luck with Seidio.

I got this battery and the added innocase extended yesterday; it fits like a charm and the quality is actually better than the flimsy crap that was on the EVO originally; from the shots it looks like it was poorly installed, or they didn't completely understand how to remove the backing from the top. I had to take the back off once today and it was extremely hard to remove- I can see how someone can break it if they aren't careful - but tbh I feel a better fitting back is exactly what was needed for the larger battery.

Can't wait to get mine. Several have posted that it fits in their hand better. I'll bet they got big hands like me. I'm actually looking forward to the bigger back. It don't look ugly to me.
Added plus, the camera lens is a whole lot more protected!!!!!!

there is a case also. i ordered it because i feel that will be the cats' meow along with the battery.

That thing makes the phone look ugly. No thanks I would rather throw it on a charger when possible. And I carry a spare battery and have needed to use it 2x.

When you take a battery that's twice the size and requires a larger back cover, what did you expect? How would you have designed it, considering that the battery is that large?

I'm sorry to say but the people that would actually use that battery would look stupid in public.

 

[Jerzyiroc]

Forget the build quality. That thing looks like herpes.

While I used my 'chubby' Pre SEIDIO extended it still held the same shape, just fatter, but this thing is a crime against humanity!

Save people the embarrassment and don't sell them anymore. That thing is atrocious.

Why do you have to take the cover off right after installing it? And as for looks, who cares. I bought mine for function....its a 3500mah battery that enhances the use of a tool (my Evo)

I'm not sure which extended battery you guys are throwing-up over (presumably without even physically using it), but my Seidio 3500 is an excellent product, IMHO.

I was worried it was going to protrude out too far but it really doesn't. It fits very well in my average-sized hand and actually allows me to hold onto it better than using the standard battery. It also protects the camera lens very well. On top of that, the battery performance is excellent.

The only *minor* issue is that the radius of the LED light is blocked a little when using it has a flashlight. It does not cause a problem when taking pictures or video.

I'm very happy with this purchase!

Amazon.com for $63 and free shipping. I just ordered mine today but opted to pay $10 for 2 day shipping. Otherwise, it said the free shipping was like 5-9 days, no thanks.

If your phone does not have enough power all you have is an expensive paperweight that you put up to your ear. I would rather have a phone that is not as thin but works. Function over form for me.

As to the extended battery, while many people have had good results with the Seidio 3500mAh it is on the expensive side.

You can get off of e-bay 2 3000mAh batteries and cases and a charger for under $25. People on this forum have had a positive experience with buying the Chinese batteries if you are interested and comfortable with doing it yourself.

Ha ha! I agree. I would have designed it to be a little more square and not like a giant dent in the back case. It looks like a tumor sprouted.
