Silicone cases shortening my HD battery life :D

---

Before you think I've lost my marbles hear me out.

I've notice when my phone is in a silicone case it gets hot. You may not feel it getting hot but take off the silicone case and feel how hot the actual phone can get after prolonged use or even when it's just inside your jacket pocket for a couple of hours.



Heat is bad for batteries as illustrated in this table. You can read up more at www.batteryuniversity.com

Anyone experience shortened battery life or the phone heating up quicker than without a silicone case?

Yes it's true,
but think about this.
One new battery is sold for 20-30USD on ebay and you can see
how much does it cost
1.Back panel
2.Front digitizer...

So it's up to you what you will prefer

That's not the problem I have...

The phone is getting really hot in operation with my silicone case and effecting battery life badly during use so my phone doesn't even last a day. I haven't changed anything on my phone except putting on a silicone case but noticed my battery life is now terrible compared to before. I really need to do some more test with and without the case.

I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this problem.

I have a evo3 iskin for my ipod which has micropores on the back for heat dissipation...I think all of these types of cases should have some kind of vent b/c it does affect battery life...but I doubt manufacturers will do this with the cheap silicone cases for the HD. Maybe you can make some tiny holes in the back and see if that helps
