I would like to get and extended battery for my phone... I was going to get the 18 dollar one from amazon... But I didn't like the way it looked... I came across this one on the link....
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006671RCG/ref=redir_mdp_mobile
wanted to know if anyone has used it or their opinion on it... I know its a little more expensive but it looks a lot more slick...

They do almost double the battery life, but also increases the thickness of the phone. It'll lose its sleek and sexy lines. Not worth it if you ask me.

Yes it will increase almost a millimeter....but honestly its really not the noticeable after you get used to it IMHO

I have the $18 one and it just fits in your hand so well lol XD. I read a lot about the seido and trexcell batteries and seido seems to have almost as good battery life as the trexcell which is 3800mah. I went with the trexcell because it still great battery life and is cheaper XD.

Every seidio extended battery I've ever got, the battery door is thin and the battery door never fully snaps shut. I've had good luck with the trexcell extended. The door snaps perfectly. The thickness of the plastic feels decent unlike the seidio. Trexcell also makes a tpu black glossy case for the extended battery. I have both and they are good. The finish of the battery door is the same as the plastic on the back where the external speaker is. Its like maybe 20 for the battery and door and 10 for the case. That's my suggestion. Like I said, the fit, finish, and thickness of the trexcell is much nicer than the seidio.

Hello everyone!
Has anyone heard of an 1800 battery for the TB that is/will be the same size as the stock battery? Something available now or coming out soon? Also, are 3rd party brands good/safe to use in my TB? (I've heard good things about some company that sounds like Seido or something...??).
Right now, the 1600mA one that's out just doesn't seem like that much of a jump, and I definitely DONT want the bulky 2750 one.
I figure with an 1800mA battery and once my TB is rooted (and I can dial down the CPU while it's sleeping/standy), I will start to get decent battery life out f it.
Do a search its been answered. I'd give you a link but I'm using my phone.

1600 is more likely what you'll find.

Yeah, so apparently, this precise question hasn't exactly been answered (maybe I'm missing it somewhere? If so, please link.) As the OP suggested, im not really into the 1600, especially with all the talk of the siedio's supposed overrating on their batteries. Has anyone heard any rumours? Reviews? Anything at all?

supposedly htc is working on some like they have for the inc and evo the 1800 mah which dont require a new back.
I hope this true. I would love a longer lasting battery that's slim.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Yeah I'm not too excited about getting a giant battery that will make my phone even bigger. Hopefully, HTC will release a slim 1800mAH battery.
Agreed I decided to go for 3 of the generic 1500mah fleabay batteries, but if an 1800mah was eventually available I'd be all over it.

If the door was easier to take on and off this would be a good solution. Better have some good strong nails or you will be carrying a tool along with the 3 extra batteries

Lol, it is a little tough, but I don't have any issues like others have been having. I just grip it with my right hand down near the kick stand and pop it off using my left thumbnail piece of cake to me. So maybe I have mutant tough nails or just a bit more rough with pulling the battery cover off

Might want to add a extra battery door to your Tbolt battery man purse
I had one of these in my DX and I LOVED it. Hoping that they bring it to the TB.
A strronger battery from HTC would be great. I don't trust the cheap knock offs in a $600 phone that sucks juice likes there no tomorrow.

ROFL Love that movie.
I just found these while doing a little searching. I don't need one, as I carry the Thunderbolt with extended battery in a leather holster, but I know some of you are looking for these. Gotta look a lot better than a cut up case
The bad news is that as of right now they are out of stock, so it looks like they get bought up pretty quick. Here's a link if you want to check them out. They come in different colors, too.
Thanks so much dude I've been looking everywhere for one

Wish they had a hard snap one but I order the light blue
Wow. $25 is a little steep for a silicone cover! Guess they kinda have the market cornered right now though. I wish Otterbox would make the defender series case for this phone.

They sell a batter slash cover combo for under $50
Thunderbolted this reply via xda app yo!
Guys, don't waste your money on these cases, if you want one, go on ebay or amazon and get the same case for $5.00 or less and cut out the extended battery portion.
Wonder if they will be making the hard case as well with the cut-out like they did with this silicone case. Would almost make me buy the extended battery if they make the identical Verizon case that I bought for the phone without the extended battery.
It would be really cool if someone from here could just open a small ebay business of selling extended batter silicone cases. They could just buy bulk from ebay and mod the cases and resell them for a decent profit (not $25 please). I know I'd buy one.
Just cut it yourself. Save 20 bucks

Just wondering how people plan to cut their own cases for the extended battery, I'm sure not all of us have a dremel tool handy... Maybe use scissors? Box cutter with a fresh blade?

Just box cuttered my Verizon holster case. It'll do for now until the real deal hits. Extended battery is worth the hassle.
Blundered from my Dunderbolt
regular battery in extended cover
does anyone know if you can still use the old small battery with the larger cover incase your extended battery runs out?
Use an Exacto knife to cut the case.
Anyone recieve their case yet?? Just wondering if the case is thicker than the stock silicone that comes with the Verizon cover
Fresh razor.

Shweet always wanted my dinc2 to be white or red or blue.
Well, the screen protector is about as cheap as it gets and the case looks cool but leaves a space between the battery door of the phone and the back of the case. I assume this is because of the raised lenses on the camera and the inability to contour around it for cheap.
Though this case might work for an extended battery! I would love it if someone tried this case on their extended battery cover and reported back.
Edit: Now I realize the whole raised part of the back has space. Weird. Doesn't fit the phone right. There is space between the case and the camera lenses, the speaker, all of it.

Hey guys do anyone of you all have the seidio extended battery with the white glossed battery door ?
If so how do you like it ?
Is the bulkyness worth the extra life ?
Also how well does the white battery door blend with the white phone ?
Pictures would be nice if you would mind sharing
Thanks
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I don't have the white phone but I can comment on the battery life. It is great, I get through 2 days with moderate usage. It is definitely worth the extra bulk. It feels much better in the hand imo. The nfc works great as well.
I bought the white back for my girlfriends s3. Matches well, but I can't take pictures right now

I ordered just the back covers to use with Hyperion 4200mah. The white is glossy and very slippery so I kept the black with a matte finish so its a little rubbery which I like. The color is a little off and had like glittery look to it.

I doubt anyone but Hyperion made a case that fits around their battery. Personally I'd ditch the hideous looking Hyperion door and pick up the official Samsung 3000mAh battery kit and a Diztronic Extended Battery Case, assuming you want a thin device with 50% more juice I never understand why third parties have to make such ugly doors for their batteries.

I purchased the trident electra because it has an extra Batt on board. Unfortunately, this coupled with stock oem battery wasn't enough. So i modded the case to fit both the trident batt and the HyPerion. I think the case is big enough to hold the zero lemon, which is what I'm going to eventually put in. Also, it only took about 10 minutes with a razor knife and straight edge.
I like that it doesnt look like a sled, or boat. Don't get me wrong is still Big.
