[Q] Seidio 3500mah Battery Silicon Cover?

---

I've looked back through all the accessory discussion and can't find anything definitively answering this. I just got the Seidio 3500mah battery and would like to find a silicon, or some sort of slip case for my HTC Hero CDMA.

Is there one out there that works with the back cover provided with this battery? Thanks for the help!

short answer no.. the only thing i have found that works.. is the htc leather case.. bought it at best buy for 30 bucks. but online seen as cheap at 10 bucks..

How good is the battery? Is it worth it?

This has been my experience thus far:

OEM Battery - Typical days use includes:

Wifi Tether & Pandora on Bus from one hospital to the next while at work
Tweetdeck/Email on all day, Ocassional fruit ninja during down time.
Texts/Calls to co workers in various parts of the hospital all day.
Pandora/Grooveshark on the Bus/Drive home

Usually dead as soon as I start the drive home.

Seidio 3500mah Battery

All of the above plus additional Pandora/Grooveshark, heavier data usage due to less fear of battery death, Touchdown Exchange app on all times.

I charge my battery over night on Thursday, unplugged Friday morning at 6:30 AM. It is now 2:40 PM Saturday and I still have a 40% battery charge. I have not done the calibration on battery use in CM6 yet because I'm still waiting for my phone to die.

Totally worth it IMO. Also a bit of clear scotch tape on the side of my phone keeps the battery door in place with no issues.

Cool, thanks for the info! I'm considering getting this, and since you have had a positive experience it's much more encouraging

Ive used this battery since the summer. Go for it, juice for days... mine will now be put to use in my INC. after i contact seidio to purchase a new batt door for it.

Sounds good, maybe I'll have to invest it it

I've bought mine from Amazon.com the cheapest they had just because you can't trust most of the batteries . mine was 8 bux
