Looks like it turns it into a brick. Might be sending this thing back when it shows up and getting the 1750 seido instead.

What did you expect for that battery size? For it to look nice and pretty?

Sweet...any pics would be greatly appreciated!!! And any if you have the car dock if you can see if it fits that would be greatly appreciated as well.

This is also a concern. :(
 
Wow, that's UGLY. If only the back wasn't "tiered" HTC could take make the battery cover more surface area but not "grow" in height.

I just ordered the battery and it will be here Tuesday.

Can I return it for a refund?

I think I'll pick up an HTC Imagio or Sprint Hero battery but haven't been able to find one brand new for $15.

I like the thickness of the phone right now with the hard silicone case - perfect size.

Exactly. A larger battery is for freedom while away from an adapter; if you want sleek and pretty, use the original that came with the machine.

My two cents... It's just way too big. Took away some sexy slimness from the Incredible, and gave it a hunch back. Awesome battery life, but it didn't look right and after using it for a while, it didn't feel right in my hands either. The new door is actually bigger than the phone w/ the original battery door... Yeah, it's that big...

My opinion, if you really need the battery life, and I mean absolutely need it, then go for this battery. But if not and you want to keep your DInc sexy, then just go with the 1500mah or 1750mah from Seidio.

Can you take a pic of the two batteries lying side by side to get a better perspective of the actual difference in thickness? Or maybe a shot of the phone with the 2150 and back cover installed?

I think the problem is, that for so long we all heard it would add only 1-2mm of thickness to the overall size... this is far more than that, and done in a horrible looking way.

Why just make the back stick out? Why not increase the size of the entire case, and make it look neater?

Maybe 1-2cm? From the Flickr pictures, it looks like something less than half an inch is being added to the thickness. That would be 1.3 cm.

Well, mine won't be here till close to Independence Day, so I won't really know what I think till then. But I've had a sleek iPod touch for a year and although it's really elegant and slim, it fails to supply me with many important features and it runs out of juice quickly if I keep it connected to wifi. I don't mind a little extra bulk if I can get functionality and power.
 
that is hideous.....wow there are going to be some disappointed people. the thickness itself isnt the issue IMO. The case backing could be much much better though. its too square. Just taper the bottom down and it would be much better. also do the same for the sides. It needs to be rounded

Maybe that's one of the things we should be looking for in a case.
 
Battery to battery comparison, how much thicker is the 2150 compared to the 1300? The stock battery is about 4.5mm in thickness.

Based on the picture that shows the thickness of the extended battery door, I'm going to guess the 2150 is about 9.5mm in thickness.

+10000000000000000000000000000000

Based on the launch kit, this is different than what their dimensions mentioned.

I'll stick with my 1750 Seidio since there is NO WAY this will work with the Innocase II...
 
No need to get all hurt cause we said the extended battery is hideous. It IS hideous and laughable. just stating opinion here. I'd never need that unless I'm going to the moon or something. I'm sure a car charger will do just fine instead of this
 
Those pics are a bit disappointing to say the least. However, I remember I thought the same thing when I had my LG Voyager and got the extended battery. After a day or two, I was fine with it and happy to have the longer battery life without worrying about being near a power source.

My only gripe is that the cases that are out now will not fit. I just emailed Otterbox. Hope they get back to me soon. Will keep you all posted.
 
Was the person who designed this blind?! That's ridiculous...ill stick with my stock 1300 and HTC 1500mah battery.
 
I'm sorry guys for disappointing you all. So, I'm selling it... Anyone interested? And I will be posting more pictures tonight. Thanks.
 
Yikes, that is insanely big. Guess I won't be ordering one afterall, especially if I want to keep my silicone case.

I hope you dont feel like you did anything wrong! Thank you so much for posting the images!

Whatever HTC was smoking had to be pretty strong, but its certainly not your fault. ;)

I had been considering ordering one of these, and was REALLY close to doing so.. glad I did not. :)

you didn't dissapoint us haha, htc did. i was expecting the entire battery cover to be deeper, like all of the tiers would be raised equally (basically adding depth to the middle of the phone instead of taking the smallest tier and raising it all the way up) i would prefer an overall thicker phone than what appears to be a thin phone with an enourmous square sticking out the back
 
Wow that is so terrible its like they didn't even try. Maybe we will see if any other Companies make an improved extended back case?
 
OMG that thing is ugly ! I guess anyone that has already gotten a case for their Incredible will be skipping over this battery. I can't believe how big it is. I can only imagine how big the battery and back for the 3500mah will be ! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !
 
i wont be using this all the time as i have some extra batteries and can charge at work, but on days when i know im gonna be away from power for a long time ill snap this on
 
I'll just buy another 1500 or wait for the 1750, carry it as back up. Much better then that hideous looking block.

That equals what 2300-2500 I just have to remove battery once....
