without having the extended battery to test with, i cant give you a positive answer. However, i just taped 5 standard size credit/debit cards to the back of the inc. and had no problem fitting it in the case. the neoprene stretches to accommodate the size.

This sounds very promising, thank you for trying it out for me (and yourself, too, perhaps). =P

I think this looks like quality and I'd love to make this purchase. I might go ahead and pull the trigger, anyway.
 
My battery dropped from 100% after being plugged in overnight to 93% within 2 minutes of opening the camera app and taking 3 photos
 
Charged with phone off until green when I got down to 6% battery left. Unplugged from charger, waited 20 seconds, and plugged back in. Amber light and charged for 10 more minutes. Rinse and repeat. After each replug, took 1-2 minutes to go from amber to green again.

Took off charger last night, turned on, and 45 minutes later I was at 99%. Left phone on overnight and got up this morning to find battery at 80%.

Seido 1750 dropped 20% in 9 hours without being used at all overnight, even after being fully charged with phone turned off.

After periodic use this morning, I'm now down to 65%.
 
My Battery usages went from about 12 hours with the 1300ma battery to 24 hours. Mind you I was off the day I got the 24 hours so I used the phone a bit more then I would while of I was at work. Overall I am very happy with my purchase, my phone now lasts longer then my Iphone did on a charge.

In actuality this won't be as big of an issue once the desktop docks show up. I always have my phones docked streaming Pandora so they are usually being charged. I can't do that yet with the DI, hopefully those docks will come out this weekend or next.
 
Got mine yesterday afternoon. Charged fully with it on and turned it off and light is amber charging some more just like the oem one...
 
I really want to get this bat, I am just waiting a little more to get some reviews from incredible users who already have the battery, so far i think there are a lot of people happy with it, looks like I'll be getting my soon :-D
 
Here's a fairly comprehensive comparison after owning both batteries for over 10 days. Take what you will from it, but the SEIDIO battery was worth every penny to me. This I posted in another "battery statistic" thread and as soon as the member tallying up the results finishes, I will have a clearer # as far as the extra percentage the SEIDIO nets the user over the OEM battery.

Batteries are charged over night with phone OFF and booting up in the morn.

This post is for the SEIDIO 1750mah battery.

I was able to duplicate the usage fairly well and I don't know what to make of the results. I do feel fairly confident that the SEIDIO packs a bigger punch and of course at 1750mah. Hope this helps! Phew now I can go back to my regular usage (all that constant sync'ing and robo off!:cool:) and get back my 20+ hrs :p
 
Just ordered two cases today (Saturday). The Rep I spoke with on the phone was very polite and kind. She asked me my Nexus One ID, which of course I don't have, so I used the ordered mine on Ebay line. It worked.

She set up my account with them (name, address, ect...) Then placed the order. She said I would have to call them on Monday after 3 for the FedEx tracking number (3-5 day ground) because the numbers don't get issued until they are picked up by FedEx and scanned.

Hopefully by this time next week I will have my case for added protection.
 
Just as a test yesterday. Did a full charge and did the turn Off when full charge and plug back in method. I had every radio on (wifi,Bluetooth,mobile always on, god) even the weather widget. Seven hours off the charger and I'm still full charge. (no idea on percentage asi dont use a battery widget

What are you using to know which apps are using how much batter?

I got mine off Amazon which wont ship for 2 weeks and figure I'll keep watching this thread till then. If some bad things show up in that 2 weeks, I'll just cancel my order.
 
I'm using this battery now. I will tell you I am loving the charge on this thing. Works perfectly. Fits perfectly. No hiccups thus far. Lasting much more noticeably longer. I'm very satisfied so much so that I won't be buying the 2150 from Verizon with a new back required/new case, etc. This one is perfect.

What am I missing? It looks like the performance of the original battery matches the 1750 Seido. Am I reading that wrong?

Thats exactly what Im doing. My battery doesnt drain THAT much and I have options to charge it wherever I am because I almost always have a nearby USB port and a micro USB cable. I still want the extra life from the Seidio just in case though.

As a warning, Amazon states 2-3 weeks to ship but Ive seen them ship out much earlier than that before. I had a graphics card reserved from them back in October that was list as 1-2 months. It shipped out in 2 days.
So if you arent 100% sure about the Seidio, you might want to cancel and get one when/if you are.

Personally, this thread is too much proof that theres some extra kick to the Seidio that makes it worth the 40 bucks to me. The reason Im sticking with it is for the extra juice and the little space it takes up. Id hate it if I was forced to go without a case on my phone because I got one of the heftier batteries.

Last night was the first time I ever got the low battery message and thats because I was lounging around my sisters house and doing a lot of internet surfing and screwing around. It was probably the heaviest usage my phone has seen since getting it Monday.
 
Here's my experience with the Seidio 1750....

I got the battery yesterday, charged it overnight while the phone was off, unplugged it, charged until green and did that one more time.

My usage is pretty much the same everyday. Pandora for about an hour, lots of browsing, light texting and checking emails. I've had the phone since it came out and I've been consistently getting only 2.5-3 hrs of awake time before it was under 10%. I've tried the "double charging" on the OEM and that didn't do a whole lot for me.

I took the phone off the charger, had Pandora on and browsed for 1:45 straight and the Seidio was at 60%. Right now I'm at 50% with 3:37 Up time and 2:10 Awake time. I had similar numbers yesterday with less Pandora usage and the OEM was at 9%. I should get around 4 hrs awake time.

I'm definitely a believer. I don't care about all the tests and questions on how Seidio packed the extra mAh into the same physical space. All I know is that real world results is where it's at and for me it's going to give me the extra juice to get through a typical work day. Of course, YMMV.:D

Thanks for the link and code. I just bought the battery from there - $33.71 shipped. We'll see how it works.

Just ordered mine too! I was on the fence, but people seem to mostly be having positive experiences with the battery, so hopefully it'll be better enough that I no longer have to worry about making it through a full day with any kind of usage.

I did make it through 18 hours yesterday and still had about half the battery left on the stock battery, but it was pretty light usage a lot of the day (mostly standby, a couple emails). Pretty heavy usage at night when all my friends wanted to play with it though :D
