Accessories Seidio Innocell 3000mAh Extended Battery is here!!!

Too bad any one wanting the dock can't use this but this is certainly a better option than the dock is I believe. I like the form of it as well.
 
Interesting... I did some measurements and it's not even as bulky as it seems. These extended batteries (i'm going off the 2800mah one) is barely thicker then a stock Epic with a Seido Innocase on.

Thank you for your interest in our products. Unfortunately, the Innocell 3000 mAh Extended Life Battery is not compatible with the Innocase Holster. We do not have a compatible holster available at this time; however, we will take your interest into consideration for future product development.

Guess I'm a no-go. The 1600mah isn't a large enough difference for me to even consider it.

Oh well.

Sorry for the incorrect information, but our Spring-Clip Holster is compatible with our extended batteries for the Epic.
 
Thanks SeidioSeidio. I don't know if I'm willing to spend 100 more for this when I've already spent money on the innocase and holster. :(
 
Does the 1600 fit in the original case? Just how much of a difference would using that make over the stock battery (let's say I get about 6 hours per day of use from the stock battery now)? Looking for the most power that will fit in the stock case.

The Innocell 1600mAh Extended Life Battery does fit in the original case. The amount of extra battery you would get would vary based on your usage patterns and phone settings.

If I am getting about six hours out of the stock battery, how much can I expect to get out of the 1600 battery with the same usage patterns and phone settings? How about even an approximate answer?
 
I just got mine delivered last night and charged it overnight. It adds about the width of a pencil to the back. It fits in the belt clip holster I got from Sprint as the edges and top match the shape of the original back. I charged it 8 hours last night as the instructions recommended and I will let you know how long it lasts under normal usage. The back cover was a little difficult to install on the sides but after a little trial and error I got it installed and it fits very well.
 
Mine came yesterday. I charged it for 9 hours before using the phone. After a few cycles I'll comment on the battery life.

The back cover looks nice-has some shape to it that keeps the phone from looking like a brick. One thing I do want to say is that the back cover is not easy to get on right. It takes some effort. Also I don't think it fits quite as well as the stock epic back cover. The stock cover is virtually seemless and the Seido cover doesn't seem as perfect of a fit. The seido cover does have a tab to help keep the SD card in place just like the stock cover.
 
I got mine last night as well. So far, I'm very impressed. I have a battery percentage calculator and by 5pm (8 hours off the charger) I usually have 30% battery left, but with this battery it says I have 68% battery left. I've heard it only gets better with a few more charge cycles.

So far, this is definitely a good purchase! I used the 20% off promotion this week and it only ended up costing me around $55. I also have the spring-clip holster, and it still fits quite well. Also, like previously stated, the back has a stylish shape to it, so it doesn't look like a brick.

I tried to attach some pictures, but I kept getting an error.

How much thicker does the phone feel? I think it'll be like .9" thick with the extended battery installed, can it still fit in your pocket?
 
It will still fit in my pocket. It bulges out a bit more, but that doesn't bother me. It actually feels good in the hand and I feel like it grips a bit better.
 
First full charge: unplugged Friday 6:30am and lasted until Sunday 5:30pm. Moderate use. Pretty much double the stock battery time.

Edit: I'm giving Seido a poor grade for the replacement cover. It is very VERY difficult to get on correctly, to the point of having to manhandle the phone to get it to snap on. And even when it's on there is still some noticable sloppyness in the fit. Very disappointing to me.
