[mr.saving]

looks awesome!

This has me almost tempted to go for the 2150. Nice work!

Well, I'm not a dentist, but I did a pretty good job, if I do say so myself... Still wouldn't attempt to fix anyone's teeth though... Anyhoo... Here is my mod of the combo case/holster from VZW... Also, so far, I took the phone off the charger at 1:22PM... It is now 3:16PM and I've sent a bunch of texts, taken a few pics, and updated Touiteur a few times... The battery widget still says 100%...

First 2 are in the holster... The rest are out of the holster...

Very nice job. The black makes it look very clean.

 

[bigdds]

yea those mods look good, if I had the access to do that I may actually purchase the battery but until some cases are available I'll stick with what I have

 

[CRKhead]

Thanks... Yeah, I actually like it now with the HTC logo on the back... Something that was missing with case covering it...

That is very, very, very awesome. I like!!!!

Might want to hurry up and patent this. Hehe.

CRKHead yours looks pretty good dude. Think I keep going to the same dentist though, unless you offer AndroidCentral discounts

I just bought Tungsten Carbide bits for my Dremel... I don't have Novacaine, but I am a licensed bartender with a fully stocked liquor cabinet... I think with the proper application of Captain Morgan, the proper Dremel bit, and a willing participant, I could sculpt a front tooth into the little Android robot guy... Choice is yours...

That looks fantastic, both of you. I wonder if anyone will be modding their Seidio cases to fit the battery. Since the seam for the Seidio runs around the main axis of the phone, do you think that cutting that much off the back would prevent it from staying on the phone?

 

[CRKhead]

It depends on where the locking tabs are on the Seidio... If they're on the sides, you should be good... But if the locking tabs run across the back as well, it won't be as secure...

Never seen a Seidio case in person, so I don't know for sure...

This new $99 Dremel i keep seeing on commericials for Home Depot is looking better and better as I look at these photos.

With this case mod and battery life, I think I'm going to keep it. This is also after the first full charge.

 

[insanely]

excellent work!

 

[Qazme]

YUP YUP. If battery life is astonishing as the claims have been so far and it stays up there after the 'conditioning' period etc. I may end up sacrificing the looks etc and going with it as bad as I hate to say it.

 

[_JKK_]

Wow, that battery time is awesome!

If it stays like that, I'll definitely be getting one. I don't mind killing some of the sleekness for that much life.

 

[Qazme]

Yeah if you are talking heavy usage and still manager to get 20 hours on it, I'm all over it sooner or later. I love my 1750 but the wife could always use it in the Eris

+1 if the tabs are on the side im going to buy one and cut the back out. Does anyone know where the clips are on the Seisio Innocase II case.
