Even that it's Chinese-made, I might be a nice deal.
I've already ordered mine
....and I've ordered several things from DX, and with no complain at all!
Free shipping all over the world, and very cheap prices
Just F.Y.I.

Thanks for the heads up on the new battery option. Very cheap.
Cetainly looks promising. please let us know how it performs over a couple of days use when compared to the original battery.
I suppose if you can put up with the ugly bulge at the back of the phone then this may be the answer to the Diamonds achilles heel.
some photos of how it looks installed would be great!
I don't if you noticed we do have a seprate section for accessories in the Diamond section... you posted it in the wrong section!!!!!!
Sorry.... has been moved!!!

Otterbox has finally released the T-MO cases after months of waiting.
I have also found an awesome coupon code to use at otterbox.com
Code:
tb810z
This code nets you 10% off and free FedEx shipping!
Enjoy!
I just ordered mine
I ordered mine the other day when I read about it in one of the other 2 Otterbox threads in this forum. Even had the same code and everything. You didn't even have to search for it before you posted this thread. It's still on the first page.
Ordered mine the other day as well. I'm curious though, i got an invoice from them telling the details of my purchase, but, I have yet to receive shipping info, nor has the money come out of my bank account. Essentially i bought the case, they said thanks for buying, and haven't heard anything since....

Is your phone T-MOUS? I ordered one on ebay the other day and it said on the package "fits T-Mobile Version" but when I went to install it, nope. Not at all. The seller on ebay then was no help, he just said "contact Otter" after I sent him a page long letter. I did contact Otter and now waiting on a response. A week has gone by... Not looking good.
should be getting my otterbox commuter tomarrow ill post a review

I ordered a Commuter today from Otterbox. Found one on Amazon that says it's the US version for way less, but decided to get it from the people who made it. I can see people trying to pass their international version off to move it cheap because those aren't in high demand, then telling people to contact Otter.
Otter Box isn't going to do anything. It's the seller's responsibility. Get online and figure out the measurements of the international one and measure yours... If it's the same then he probably shipped you the wrong thing. If you paid with paypal and the dude won't do anything about it, I would get a refund through PP.
What did the packaging say? Did it specify US on the packaging?
Bought one on ebay that says TMOUS and authorized reseller. We'll see.
My best offer of $40 got autoaccepted.
For those of you with a defender series but not sure if its the euro version or us, I have found way to tell for certain which it is. On the flap that covers the charge port and headset jack, there is an imprint that states which it is. Mine says US Version on the underside of it.

The hard shell also says it on both pieces.
that is funny because I have the US version on my t-mo, and my bro has the euro version on his and the case is practically identical in every way.
Thanks for the code, the 10% worked great!
I just ordered my defender case on amazon for 33.65 with free shipping. It states that its the U.S. version. I will find out monday when i receive it.
Definitely worth it. It does state us version on the flap that covers the charging port.
Good Day.
I would like to make a list of different battery sellers/brands and your experience with them, then compile the information into the OP for easy viewing. I am doing this because I have had 2 bad experiences buying batteries on ebay from high rated sellers. It can also be difficult to determine what htc models have interchangeable batteries.
Known HTC Models with interchangeable batteries
CDMA TP2 ERIS OZONE HERO EVO IMAGIO SNAP DESIRE INCREDIBLE(DUH)
HTC Models non compatible batteries
N1 G1 FUZE OTHERS
Props(and ALL CREDIT) To Doug Simmons for his work testing batteries and making the results public domain. We need more people like you!
Please check out http://batteryboss.org
Mr. Simmons's VERY scientific testing of multiple batteries and brands show consistently overstated mah on many brands of batteries. Please see second post or above website.
XDA Member Jermaine151 has a thread about his experience with the OEM 2150 getting 3 days of runtime I think has great photo's and info.
XDA Member DrPheta has some good information for identifying FAKE OEM BATTERIES.

I have had nothing but trouble with no name batteries, and I have not seen one capacity test to support getting more than 1500mah from this form factor. even the 1500 makes it more difficult to close back cover. I'd be curious to know what the battery weighs.
I bought HTC 1500 from amazon marketplace for $9..Amazon has me fully covered. Could not be happier.

I Got the seido 1750mah, very high quality. was a little afraid to go with a no name company.
I got the Seidio 3500, even if it's only 80-90% of the advertised, it's still the highest actual mAh on the market and I can get a full day with Wi-Fi tethering, GPS, and downloading and flashing the latest CyanogenMod nightly over Verizon 3G (DROID Incredible).

+1. I have the Seidio 3500mAh and it is a hoss! I have no problem getting through an entire day with heavy use. It doesn't detract from the looks of my Incredible either. In fact, the included battery door makes it fit in my hand better and protects the camera lens.
I get better performance out of my HTC 1500 then my Seidio 1750. The HTC is thicker and heavier then the Seidio. I paid $17.99 shipped for the HTC and something like $40.00 for the Seidio.
I just purchased an HTC 2150 which included an OEM backing for $39.99. Couldn't be happier with it.
I think with what I've learned, going OEM is the only way.
I agree. The seidio 1750 is crap

I'm really liking the HTC 1500 battery (same one that comes with the evo). Right now I'm sitting at 15% remaining after 13 hours 20 minutes of uptime and 4 hours 40 minutes of awake time. Thats without bump charging it either. Score one for the oem.

Hi everyone,
I found a cheap 1500 mAh battery (with charging cradle) for 8.30$ on Dealextreme, shipping included.
It's most certainly not 1500 mAh, but at that price I want to give it a try, as an emergency battery.
It's only my second post and I can't add links yet, so go to Dealextreme.com and type SKU 57063 in the search bar.

Question is: will it fit in an i9023 Nexus S? On the site it's written for i9020, and I've heard there is a difference in thickness between the two models, so I'm wondering if it has something to do with the battery.
I've asked on the site but no answer for now.
Thanks for reading, sorry for syntax faults if any =)
Edit: i found this post: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940263 more or less same battery manufacturer (yeah, China) and review seems pretty engaging

First of all, the thickness of the i9023 has nothing to do with the battery. It has SCLCD, with backlight. That's what's making it thicker. So they've got the same battery.
Second, I wouldn't recommend any other battery than an OEM one. I have ordered this one a few weeks ago, so it should arrive on my doorstep in a couple of days. If you are patient, I'll make some tests and come back here with the results.

Awesome, thanks guys.
At those prices, it's definitely worth just keeping a spare battery around

Review of this battery
I have been using this since 3-4 months as a spare battery and I can tell you that this one works well. Find my review here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026003
I always think the DX offers the cheapest items among the large online stores, and I find there are another ones with much more items sold at much better prices , just, you can search from Pickegg.com, you will find a lot.

Does the battery fit with the OEM back?
yes the battery will fit stock back, that is what I was concerned with. I cant speak for the extra time yet, as I am still waiting on delivery(this week).

I didn't find the battery you all have posted but I did find Prodicell 1900 mAH battery on Amazon. I dont know why it would make that big of a change, but it is a dramatic improvement over the stock oem battery. I also have the 3500 mAH battery ordered but have not got it yet. Figure i will use it when I know i will have a really busy day out and no access to a charger.
Well now that the SG2 doesnt look like it is coming out any time soon. I think I may just stick with my Trill. I do like.
So please let us know how the extended battery works out. I want one, but dont like not having a case to put on afterwards. Are there bumpers that will work with an extended battery casing?

The 1980 MAH battery doesn't require a new back cover, you can use the regular back cover for the Thrill.

Yeah but how much extra does it really add to life?
From what I've heard, 1-3 hours which is fair improvement imo.
I have one.. I would say adds about 5... With my use
