Woot. I need an extended battery anyway but don't want the new back. I like my Pro's curve... Gives her a nice touch. Thank the extended back gives it more of a "chunky" look.

Yea, I am using the extended batter from Verizon right now and it makes my Pro look fat lol. But I love the fact that I can use my Pro for the whole day without the battery dying

WOO HOO !!! That's awesome news of an extended battery that will actually fit the original phone so I don't have to change my cases. Thanks for the heads-up!! That's AWESOME !!!

I'm confused. I see this message posted on the page with the extended life battery..... ( seidioonline.com )

"In order to obtain the full capacity of your Seidio battery, we highly recommend that you leave the battery/your phone on the charger for an additional 2-3 hours after the charging indicator turns green or the battery status shows full."
​

Does this mean EVERY TIME you charge the phone or just the first initial charge ???

Just the first initial charge, this is what they mean by conditioning the battery I believe

Let's see...for $49.95 I can get a 1700mAh battery from Seidio or I can get a 1860mAh battery from Verizon...that's a 40% increase in battery power with Verizon for the same price. I guess it depends on your preference...battery life or back cover. I am glad to see a creditable supplier is coming out with some more choices of accessories for the Pro.

I kind of thought that, but wasn't entirely sure. I leave my phone on the charger all night anyway because that's the only time I really charge it (unless heavy use during the day) and it also functions as my clock/alarm.

Along those same lines....... Is there truth to the theory / suggestion that we should let the battery completely drain til dead when you first initially use a new phone/battery before charging it for the first time?

Oooh....... good point! I didn't notice the mAh difference in the two. Hrrrmmmm.........

I wouldn't MIND getting the bigger battery with the different back cover, but then I just need to find a manufacturer who makes a comparable COVER that fits over the adjusted size. *sigh*

40% increase? Isn't it less than 10%? 1860-1700=160; 160/1700=.09. Or do you mean 40% increase over the original battery?

Well, I guess it is how you want to figure it. The stock battery is 1460mAh...the Verizon is 1860mAh...a difference of 400mAh. The Seidio is 1700...a difference of 160mAh. 160 is 40% of 400. No matter how you figure it...your paying $49.95 for a battery that has either 1860mAh or 1700mAh.

I guess the most logical way to figure this out is the way you did it. Using the stock battery as a baseline, you get 10% increase with the 1700mAh and a 20% with the 1860mAh for the same price. I like your way of looking at the issue better than mine...makes more sense now that I think about it.

Yea, it is all about preference some folks doesn't like the extra bulk so the Seidio extended batter is a better option.
