Default Seidio 3800 MAH Extended Battery

http://www.seidioonline.com/t-mobile...38ssg2t-bk.htm

Has anyone gotten this battery yet? Does anyone know if they will make a case for it like seidio made cases for the evos. Thanks

Looks to me like that battery would give an sgs2 the belly bump of a lady at 7 months with two buns in the oven...

Since it's unlikely you'll ever find a case for it, why not buy an extra battery or buy a power skin case?

I tried the powerskin and it was a pos, all around the sides wouldnt fit right and the charged notification would beep a lot

I agree with the fit/finish issues on the powerskin case. Wished they'd made it fit the phone as well as the Vibrant version did.

The beeping on charge happens when you connect it to a wall charger that can't provide enough amps for the powerskin case. I've had the best results with the Samsung charger which comes with the phone but it will also charge properly from a computer USB port. The charger that came with my motorola bluetooth stereo headset will cause beeping when connected...

Anyway, I imagine this battery + case wouldn't be that much larger than the SGS2 + Powerskin... So, if Seidio decides to make a case for it I might buy both. Not much action in the US on the NFC side of things right now so having NFC enabled batteries isn't that important to me.

just got it guys....will do a review in a couple of days, but after i put it, set brightness to 100% and it took me about 4-5 hours to get it down to 15% from 46% seems pretty legit!

I had the same experience. I had one for my HD2 & it was very well made & the battery lasted all day, but the t989 version felt like a cheap knockoff or something. Sides didn't fit, the leds were different shades of blue, and it died after only a couple hours. I ended up returning it.

Battery is the main problem with all those phones.one good thing they can do is attack a dollar panel to all the phones or make hydrogen fuel celled phones that would be amazing.
