I just ordered my Evo. I have an innocell 3500 that bought with my Hero. Seidio informed me that the dimensions are exactly the same as the 3500 for the Evo. I would like to use it in my evo. Does anybody know where to purchase an extended battery cover that is like the seidio one? I like that one because with that cover it will fit in the holster that I have for it.

I tried google already and ebay. I found the battery and the cover for sale together, the innocase for the extended battery and a cover that wasn't like the seidio one. I was hoping to find a just the battery cover without having to buy another battery.

I apologize, it was actually a case. It looked like the cover to me. I'm not sure then. Google around til you find it.
I'll look and if I see something I'll let u know.
My guess is you're gonna have a hard time finding one. No one will want to get rid of just the cover if they still have a battery. And unless Seidio makes one, which I didn't see, you may be stuck with finding someone who no longer has their evo.
Sorry I couldn't help more. Let me know if you find anything.
I think you are right. I think I am going to just have to go ahead and order another battery as well. Thanks for trying though. Cheapest I have found so far is $53 on amazon through daydeal.

Found a cover here.

If you call Seidio customer service, they will sell you just a back door for the 3500mAh battery. I'm not sure of the price, but they will indeed sell it to you, even though its not listed on their site.
I bought one from and individual locally. Thanks to all for you help and suggestions.

I have to say that looks better than the 3500ma from seidio.
it does!!! i just ordered it just so i can take that back and do the carbon fiber DIY on it. I think it would look awesome
also is the 2600mah and the 3600mah battery the same size
I'm tempted, but does anyone know anything about the make of the battery? Thats awfully cheap.. i'd be scared of starting on fire
heh
Wow a fat battery door for less than $15 shipped.
Now, lets see some normal sized battery doors on ebay.
Its cheap enough, ill bite. I got a 2300mah battery and door from an unknown manufacture when I had a G1 and it worked great, im willing to give this a try. Ill report back once I get it
im half tempted to get this... ive got a 3500 mah batttery from seidio that i got for my hero, it would fit in my evo just fine but i dont have a back cover
i might just have to send the seller a message and ask how "thick" the battery is... if its anywhere close to seido's 3500 mah unit ill jump on it

look at the picture that shows the inside of the battery door...

I don't want any battery that requires a larger back cover. Im waiting for a 2000mAh to come out that will fit as is!
I can't believe how badass the EVO is now. I've had mine for like a month exactly and I get impressed by the amount of accessories popping up for it every week. GO EVO! 15$! count me in even if its crap! I think I spent 15$ on lunch today and thats already looooong gone....ew

I used seidios online chat to ask a couple questions...
the rep told me 1. they do not accept paypal(just to ask) and 2. you can get the extended battery door alone for around $15 but you have to call them as it "is part of a package which they have to break up"
that will fit your 3500 hero battery (which i have aswell)
done and done.
Ew. Looks like a throwback to the Motorola Microtac days. Why would anyone want to turn their phones into a brick when they can have 3000mAh available to them by carrying an extra battery in their wallet? Crime deterrent ?
my hands are big so bring on the big back door and no need to charge during the day

I bought one of these off eBay a month ago, it's about the same as the OEM battery, so it's a good backup, but not a replacement.
Does anyone know where i can find an extended battery cover similar to the one by seidio for my evo? I have an extended battery from amazon with the big cover and honestly i dont like it... seems like it isnt made for my evo. I just feel like the angle that it pops out of the back makes it look and feel awkward, and i especially hate the 4 bumps on the corners above the battery. Sometimes i have to push on the corners of the cover because i dont want dust geting in, and i feel like the added space other than the battery area is really unnecessary. So if it's possible, i would really love an extended battery back like the seidio one, preferably in a different cover(that would be fresh ), if anyone can help me find one!
Because the extended batteries all seem to have such different battery door covers, it's hard to say. I have been checking (and hoping) for seidio to make colored covers for the Evo for myself. The closest thing I found was on eBay. So try there for cases if you haven't already!
Good luck.
edited....i think I misunderstood your first post. If you are looking for the battery cover door though, ebay will probably still be your best bet.

I have an extra seidio one i can sell you, its marked up slightly though, and one prong is missing i believe, connects fine and is not loose at all
how much you selling it for
If I was you I would take his offer if its within reason. I actually bought my seido from the factory store online and broke a prong off mine accidentally and looked everywhere for just the door alone. Now this could have very easily changed but as of before xmas? Seido themselves did not sell the door alone much less best buy or amazon etc. You can find a replacement flat standard door pretty easy, but one for the extended seido? I had tough time. I actually got them to send me one no charge, but I had just spent like 200 bucks with them so.....gl
The Sedio cover won't fit the Amazon battery.
Yes it will and make me an offer on the door its an official seidio

Gorilla gadgets has extened battery covers. I got my battery from them.
Hi,
Wife loves her Evo, but hates the battery life. She really uses it, so she has to keep it on the charger. I have a Platinum (aka Seidio) 3500mah battery and love it, but she doesn't like how it makes the phone "huge". So I got her the Sprint battery. It's not much smaller, but apparently it is good enough. But she won't use the phone without a case. This is probably a good thing, because she drops it. Much more often than I like. I've been looking for a good case that will fit the battery. I've seen several posts that say that Seidio's Surface extended case will work. But I was thinking about the purple Laza case for Laza's extended battery (can't post a link. It's on Amazon). She loves purple, so this would be perfect. Does anyone know if this would work, or if there are any other cases that I should consider for her phone?
Thanks
In terms of cases your gonna be limited on what you can get . In the case of the Seidio (which I have) I had to cut the back out of a TPU case and more or less make a bumper case on my phone . Essentially you could do the same with the Sprint 2600 and its backplate . But you will still have a hump coming out of the case . The Laza case I believe only works for their backplate unless you are planning on getting that with the purple case . Like I said your options are gonna be limited . In terms of cutting a case like I mentioned before . If you take your time and measure it out very well you would almost believe it was part of the extended battery back and one piece .
Can you buy the backplate separately from the battery? I didn't see it for sale anywhere, but might have missed it. I'd be fine doing that if I could do it and if it would work with the battery. I'd also do it for my Seidio battery as well. I'd rather have one of the silicone cases than the Seidio case.
More than likely you should be able to buy the battery back by itself . I know Seidio sells their battery back as a seperate part . As for other battery manufacturers I am not sure about .

Right. It's just a question of finding one that will fit the Sprint 2600 battery. It has an oddly shaped battery cover. If I could replace the battery cover with something more common, then the world of cases would open right up...
May this help you decide
For what would be cheaper than the cost for a back elsewhere I thought why not just get a cheap battery for the price.
The 2600 battery I have is a cheap chinese version its the same size as the 3500 I got from Amazon, they fit the same back... Appears to be the same size as sprints 2600.
http://www.amazon.com/Laza-Sprint-Extended-Battery-Silicone/dp/B004LOBXZ2
The 3500 (generic, not laza) was 8$ and some change, comes with a back (exact size as lazas 3500 battery back) and fits the laza silicone case (you mentioned) that I also got (14.99) and it fits perfect, so you could use both 2600 and 3500 batteries with same back..
Those and a 6$ hdmi cable qualified me for free shipping (took about 2wks)... but all for under 30.
Backing fits case, contours and protects well, awesome battery life
after calibration. I been using for about 3 wks now.
No complaints ...it is bulky but I got big hands and it feels sturdy.
i bought my case from gorillagadgets.com check it out. pretty nice and fits the phone w/ extended battery

I have the 2600 from amazon and I wanted to get a silicone case but if a 3500 is that cheap and both batteries can fit the case I'll get the battery too and go with that!
-thanks for the heads up
I have the seidio innocase extended and it works with the 2600 battery.

Do you happen to have the link to the battery that you bought. Buying an ultra cheap battery for the back sounds like a good idea for me. I already have the 2600mah from Sprint and it's too late to bring it back. I used it for a while, and I liked it, but in the end, I opted for the Seidio 3500. So I want my wife to use the 2600 from Sprint.

If ur wiling to do a bit of modification, you can fit the sprint 2600 battery inside of a ballistic case.... I have it and its a beauty, no one ever knows that theres an extended battery inside unless i pop out the cover
I have been wanting a extended batter for my dx but wanted a case that fit it right. Well Trident made that happen.
I have already bought this product and it is pretty nice. MY phone is pretty thick now but I actually find it easier to hold. I know a few people have also posted wanting something like this so check it out. Price isn't to bad either if you consider you are getting a good case and an extended battery.
xda won't let me post links yet so you will have to find it yourself. Its on cyclopscase<dot>com
Go to the website above, choose droid x on the left and then sort by highest price and it should be the first one.
t would be nice if they sold it without the battery too

Yeah it sucks when you already have the battery and want to buy the case.
On a good note though. WHen you're just at home for a long period of time, you can charge one battery and take it out and charge the other one. Then when you're out and about all day, bring both batteries with you and switch em out when one dies.
Well, the hard part for me is finding a case that works with larger batteries. Which is why it was a relief to find this, which has a case made just for the extended battery.
Isnt the Trident Electra Better than the cyclops? its 3200mh
*edit* nevermind.. I missread what you were looking at.
Trident is making the best stuff now
They passed otter box up ages ago
I would never buy another otter box product after I wrote them an email and they never had the professionalism to write me back.
They must be all about money and greed.
Well I saw it here: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-3500-extended-life-battery-p/bacy35ssgng-gy.htm but I want to see if anyone have a picture of it with the cover: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-convert-extended-case-holster-p/bd4-hkr4ssgnlx2.htm since those pics are not the best ones. Also do you recommend it?

No one? I really want to know before buying it.

I don't have a picture at the moment. I don't have that exact model, but the model I got from ebay is a 3800 mAh. I also got a case that fits around it.
With the case and the battery it is probably twice as thick as the phone with standard battery and no case. I don't mind, it fits in my pocket very easily and I feel much more comfortable with it.
took some pictures
I also have 3800mah battery, i took some pictures. rider.planet.ee/nexus
At first it felt little bit to big, but after few days its ok, fits in pocket.

Same questions to you... Have you been able to find any cover?
I just bought a cheapie ebay extended battery with cover, and it definitely improves battery life to nearly double the oem battery. I am pleased for the $8 I paid.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-3900mAh...3372&pid=100011&prg=1005&rk=2&#ht_1350wt_1111
Couple it with a bumper case (so the cover fits) and you have decent protection.
I bought an Onite 3500 mAh battery from Amazon several weeks ago for vacation days hiking. I was surprised how small it was. I didn't take it off until a week after I got back. In the city I get at least 2 days with juice to spare. It also supposedly has NFC, but haven't used it yet. It came with an extended back cover.
I bought an extended soft TPU case and pair that with a Seidio surface holster.
I paid about $13 for the battery, and combined with cases, no shipping.
I'm definitely happy with the battery.

they send me 3800mAh instead of 3500mAh, or is it just a sticker on the battery that says its 3800mAh, definitely it lasts longer than OEM battery.

I bought that case and it is fine. It is actually somewhat translucent and has a slight pattern on the back. It means I can't keep my mad money in my phone case, but otherwise it did the extended battery well.
The Onite batteries seem to be getting more expensive but they can still be found for about 25 dollars, which I still think is a good deal. My 13$ battery is a veritable steal.
