Seidio 3200 mah super extended battery
Seidio is working on an 3200 mah extended battery for Kaiser that is thinner than this 2400 battery.

yes i am quiet curious on this as well.. i wanna know about the hybrid cases too...
Any news on this?
i am still waiting for this.... any updates?
I am curious too. Seidio seems to make good quality products. I am happy with their case and probably go for this battery
We are definitely working on this, and right now the ETA is sometime in May.
Thanks,
Seidio
Example or estimate on size???

I don't know anything about physical size yet, but my understanding is that the capacity should be in line with most of our other larger extended batteries (at least 3200mAh).
Thanks,
I hope it will have a battery cover similar to the mugen one... It's much better covering the entire Tilt than only the battery..
should I just plain give up with the search for cases when it comes to these extended batteries ???
I baby my Kaiser with a few cases ( crystal clear ... armor ...leather ...etc ) ... and then I went & got the Mugen extended battery ...
Now my precious Kaiser is prone to damage due to lack of cases made for these batteries !!!
Please Seidio !!! ... if your company planned to make these extended batteries .... make sure to also design a case for it as well !!!
Thanks !!!
Get a case that was made for a thicker phone like the 8125. It may work.
Here is a size comparison. Just remember to add in the battery thickness as well.

i have just read in another forum that seidio said that they were going to release the 3200mah battery in march...
its already the end of april and still nothing... whats going on here?
send them an email and ask them.
maybe they are taking a leaf out of htc's book
i was thinking about it, but then again i have also read that seidio takes extremely long to respond...
P.M. seidioseidio and see if he knows anymore.

My old Seido leather case for the 6700 ext. battery works.
Hey guys...sorry it's taken so long, but we've had a lot of projects in the works. The Tilt battery was pushed back, but we do expect to have it in stock by the end of May.
Thanks,
hey seidio what could you tell us thats for sure about the new batt... any new news?

there's all the links. For $20, I like it. No support for extended battery, but stil nice. You have to open it to use the screen or keyboard, but I'm tough on my phone, and this compliments my Toughbook well.
Thought I would share.
I have the same case and like it a lot.
Seidio case for mogul - My favorite case*
Hey guys,
Not sure if you've seen this case, but I figured I'd post it.
http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=797
You can pick from a rubberized, aluminum, clear, or hybrid rubber-clear case.
You don't have to open the case to use the keyboard, so its perfect.
It doesn't have a clear plastic cover like yours, but I find that clear screen protectors from bestbuy do the job (i'm pretty rough on my phone as well).
sigh, still no case for the extended battery. Kind of getting tired of looking every day for something that will do the same as these cases. I can't understand why no one is producing a case like the seidio one for an extended battery. Does anybody know of one of those types of cases?
Unfortunatly thats true for just about every accessory out there for the 6800...
Even the car mounts have issues with Extended batteries.
I guess it has to do with the fact they are making these for the most common setups people have and until Extended batteries sell as many units as the phone does we are $#!^ out of luck...
i guess you have the super extended battery? not just the regular extended battery..
that things a beast.. i have the regular extended battery and love it. how's the super extended going for you?
when i bought my battery from seidio, they didnt have the super one. maybe now that they do, they'll make a special case as well.
I had the 2800 MAH battery, selling it for $25 and got the Mugen 1800MAH stock fit one. Mogen Power had a robbery though, so still waiting...
From email:
"Due to a break-in on last week in our European distribution centre, we lost most of our stock, processed shipments and computer equipment. Currently, we are arranging replacement stock from our factory and other distribution centres, which is expected to arriving this week. We expect to dispatch your battery at the end of this week. Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and we will do our utmost to dispatch your order as soon as possible. You will receive an email with shipment details as soon as your parcel has been sent."
I have the seidio 3200 battery, i usually go about 2 days without charging and a 3-4 hour phone call drops me down to about 78%. But, yes, the thing is big and no, there are no cases, gelskins or anything else for this thing.
Hmm case does it's job. I was just up on a ladder in the Data Center at work... 12 feet up with a metal floor. Dropped the phone, it tumbled down a few rungs and hit hard on one corner against the floor after about 6 feet. It bent the case a bit, but all it well. It hit the bottom left corner on the screen side.
Yep I have the 3200 battery and it's funny...the 3200 with the battery cover from seidio is actually thinner than the 2200 battery I got from Ebay! LOL
I am waiting to buy the car dock from seidio to see if it works better with the extended battery. What I have now is a standard padded vice mount which is problematical for two reasons.
One the depth of the unit due to the battery and two the padding tends to press buttons when your putting the unit into the holder...
I love the monster battery!
And for those who wonder the battery comes with the cover when you order from seidio.
Looks like this case;

Sure does. Cool!
Has anyone used this flip case. I was thinking about getting, but wanted some opinions first.

I just noticed that Ipaq has this case for extended batteries. I don't know if that's a new addition or has been there all along, but it's good to know that there's at least one case of this type that can handle extended batteries.
just saw this on ppcgeeks thought I'd post it here for anyone looking. It's "coming soon" but not sure about ETA:
http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=993
So its ONLY 2 months late from when they said it would be out. But just the same, good to see it is ALMOST out.
now Shipping! Woot!
Too bad it would cost me 100 bucks for the package. 70 for the extended battery, and another 35 for the case. Not sure I could justify dropping that for my cell phone.
Has anyone tried any of the batteries from Seidio. They are offering an extended battery of 3200 MAH. I don't want to try one of these if there is a chance of frying my 6800.

So, let me see if I understand your question, in a forum post about the extended hard case for the seidio battery, you wonder if anyone has tried any of the batteries?
Why would any of us be discussing the hard case for the SEIDIO extended battery if we didn't already have the battery to get the hard case for????
Do you imagine we're all going to buy the hard case for the extended battery and use it with the stock battery?
I have the Seidio Battery...
It will not FRY your phone!

Well let’s see!
Maybe because it is nothing more than a hard case.
or
Because there is no requirement stating that one must have the SEIDIO extended battery to use the SEIDIO hard case.
or
Maybe I just thought that because it was apparent that some of the viewers in this thread may have some knowledge about extended batteries and since I have heard about aftermarket batteries/accessories that have caused problems in the past thereby voiding the warranty and the fact that to replace this phone would be pricey it might just be a good idea to ask those with experience in the extended battery arena about the integrity of the product before I purchase.
I don't want a $579.00 (retail replacement) iron on my hands!
mr.ellsworth
Dude, it's a HARDCASE ONLY FOR THE EXTENDED BATTERY. Why would anyone buy the hardcase for the extended battery IF they didn't have the extended battery in the first place?
If you wanted to use the "slim" hardcase then that would make sense, but this is ONLY for users who have the EXTENDED battery to buy this hard case.
Just nearly a week and a half ago I placed my first order to get a slim rubber case and clip..and the day I saw that the extended case was in I ordered the battery and case..got it today and so far nothing but good results. I've had it on for what seems to be like 7 hours and it shows 80% still remaining...BUT during a good 4 or 5 of those hours i had bluetooth on, wifi on and logged onto windows live messanger..it didn't budge. Its not that much bigger with this battery and with somedays not knowing if i'll be working 8 hours or 14 this helps out alot! It does add a bit of weight to it but i'm willing to give that extra weight and thickness for all that my phone is capable of doing.

$579.00?? It costs $619.00 to replace at Verizon!!
not worth it, haha
Well, check it out. I'm the kind of person to take care of my junk. I went to my god fathers heart surgery, and that morning in the parking lot i dropped my phone (1st time) cause you know, it's damn slippery. I was juggling other crap in my hands as well. The phone dropped, back cover popped off no problem.
It wasn't until later i noticed that the left msg record button was jammed, i set that button as 'alt+tab.' crap. I tried fixing it, it proved impossible with my methods.
I used my insurance and got a new phone for $50. That was late 2007. Just this past wednesday, about 4-5 months after with this new phone, i dropped it at work from a very low height. What are the odds that the same freaking button broke? Fook it, right? I can learn to live with it. But i still want the case. Even if you got this phone for $200, a $40 investment to protect it is worth it. I am a power user running 10 emails through flexmail at all times, amongst other things such as my exchange work email. So i will not only get this case but the extra capacity battery.
If you don't think $40 is worth covering $200, then you probably have problems. If this had been available when i bought the phone, i would have gladly paid $40 over $50 and the hassel i went through setting up the new phone.
thanks for the great find gand!
So after having this setup for nearly a week I am quite pleased. From having last plugged it in on Friday for about a 45 minutes it lasted till sunday afternoon at about 4:30 where it showed 30%. Given i was barely talking on the phone and sent only a dozen or two texts...the standby time still amazed me. I google mapped a few things as well..I definately reccomend this.
Ok so I ordered:
3200MAH SUPER EXTENDED BATTERY FOR PPC 6800 ($64.95 USD)
RUBBERIZED CASE/HOLSTER COMBO FOR EXTENDED XV 6800 / PPC 6800 ($49.95 USD)
It came out to a total of $127.15 (USD)
The battery comes with a cover as shown in the picture, but unlike the picture it says seidio on the back of it, very cool!
The 'rubberized case' with holder is pretty cool. It's not as 'grippy' as i thought it would be, but definitly an improvement over the original finish. I am more confident with it in my hand.
I've begun charging the battery that supposedly has 60% charge according to WM.
I also use my phone quite a bit so i'll be reporting in on whether this battery was worth it or not.
Worth noting is that unlike many others, i had no problems at all installing the battery case cover, nor the rubber covers. Just be patient and look at what you're doing and you should be ok.
So far 100% satisfied, will update in a few weeks.
not wanting the extreme bulk of the 3200 battery, i went ahead and got a 1650 battery instead...BIG MISTAKE, don't get it, I don't notice any battery level change, I went about with my usual business hopefully ending the day with at least 30-40% (I generally start using the phone at 9-10 till maybe 8-9) at night but instead, as usual it dropped to 0 and dies on me. With a case and the battery i forked up 108 bucks- so pay the extra 20 bucks and get the 3200 instead, i regret not doing so!

I use the Mugen 3600mAh battery and Seido hard case; in three months of use, no one has ever commented on the thickness of my phone. It fits (fills) the hand better for a more secure grip. But yes, the Seido "rubberized" case isn't all that grippy, so I recommend plastering it with e-grips appliques.
Seidio extended battery case hardware hack for macro lens and sunshield.
The pictures will show what a sweet hack this is. I'd wanted both a sun shield and a macro lens, and when I got this new battery and the case that came with it I saw the possibilities right away.
First I eyeballed the length and width of the slider that I would need (about 9/16" by 7/16" )
Then I carved a channel the thickness of my slider in the large lower lip.
The opposing channel was constructed from three layers of the same black plastic sheet I used for the slider.
Cleaned out any excess glue from the track, checking it with the slider by hand.
Then I temporarily spot glued the three layer channel to the case with the slider in place to see if I needed to make any adjustments to the width of the slider.
After making adjustments I glued the three layer channel to the case with the slider in place.
Now I was ready to make the hole for my macro lens (You want to make it centered with respect to the camera) I just eyeballed it. Made a small hole with a drill, then with a round needle file made it as concentric with the hole in the case for the camera as I could by hand.
Having stripped numerous machines and devices over the years I had a little selection of small lenses.
I chose a small magnifier of a size a little bit larger than the hole I'd filed in the slider and glued it in place.
When that dried I put the case back on the phone and I moved the slider to the macro position and made sure it was centered correctly. Then a sliver of the same black plastic sheet was carefully glued in the channel as a block to stop the slider at that position.
That was pretty much it. I used 5 minute clear epoxy which allowed me to clean out glue that was in bad places while it was still tacky.

can the one they are selling on dealextreme be used for our p6900's? i know that one is for p3450 or something.. but will the back cover fit? someone wrote there that the battery does work on our phones but the cover doesnt fit properly and he had to cut it to fit? anyone else on this board has tried this option yet or is everyone spending over $50 for battery?
I looked at the one on dealextreme along with about 20 other web sites. I finally decided on a 2400 mAh battery by mugen power. I paid 69 US for it and shipping was free at nakedcellphone.net
When it finally arrived I was absolutely impressed for the following reasons:
the capacity of the battery is more than twice as long as the OEM bat;
the back cover is thicker than the oem cover but does not have the hump;
although thicker, it actually fits in my hand more comfortably. I like the way the phone feels much better;
the chrome ring around the camera lens looks identical to the original, and as one would expect the diameter at the outside is larger to avoid an optic tunnel;
color matching is identical to the Sprint Vogue.
This phone rocks!
yea the only problem i had with the dealextreme one was the back cover.. the battery is amazing.. lasts me forever.. but the back cover is quite ugly and doesn't fit the vogue properly.. it leaves a lil gap at the bottom.. i think its designed for the GSM version .. but the battery itself is amazing.. just incase u wanna buy it just for the battery...

I looked at naked cellphone on ebay and was interested in the cradle they offer and possibly 2 extended batteries (i'd put the OEM away for a last ditch backup) but does the extended batter fit in a cradle properly with the larger battery installed? Any success here?
Thanks

MNN -
Sorry for the delayed response. No, the extended battery will not fit into the majority of cradles out there. But when I googled close to 50 different web sites selling accessories for the vogue, I stumbled across 1 or 2 who were advertising that they had cradles that would fit the thicker phones with ext bats. Sorry I don't have a site to give you but you should be able to find it if you haven't already.
Update to the Mugen Power 2400 extended battery:
It has awesome battery life, like a week or more on standby. I can get hours and hours of of GPS, phone use, mp3, web, etc. at least 8 hours or more. I love the phone.

Does the battery work well now?
Does anyone know dinodirect.com?
This site is also selling HTC replacement batteries. To guarantee your phone life span, I would recommend you to use original battery.
SKU: A0324000KD
This replacement can be applied to 6900.
I ordered HTC Touch battery from dealextreme, but i never received my order so far.. So i reordered it from Chinabuye, an online store from China. I received ontime with free ship cost. Through paypal, payment i made easily and find its safe with them. When it comes to quality, its good one and brand sytlish. Rates are quite cheaper and has discount features.
Chinabuye !
I think it will better to use online Shop from China Chinabuye rather than dealextreme !
Chinabuye has more payment options and free shipping option ! which make buyer attractive to buy ! and also it has great quality products !
The battery and cover I just purchased today are these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-BACK-DOOR...662959?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item45ebf8516f
Looks like a really good price on the battery and I'm crossing my fingers that they cover will fit - looks like it should.
Good luck on finding the battery. These Vogues are all coming up on end of life for the batteries it seems as they can only be charged so many times.
Im not usually one for starting a new thread to ask a question but i think other people may be interested also.
I have purchased the extended battery and have found that the phone no longer fits into the pouch, well it does but i had to use my teeth to get it back out!!!!
Anyway has anyone got one that it fits in or have seen one available? Im in the UK. Please advise myself and others. Thanks.
have a look at this it will fit the extended battery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684662
Check out this case:
http://www.cellularaccessory.com/lb6600.html
If you can get it in the UK/Europe it might work. Check out cases advertised for the EVO 4G. It is a thicker version of the HD2 that comes with a bigger battery as original equipment.
Cheers guys. I didnt think to look for an evo case or in Tesco lol.
