Close to stock battery cover with 3200mAh

This is the closest to the stock Hero door I could find with a extended battery. It comes with the 3200mAh battery and teh door for 79.95

I have not tryed this out becuase I dont have 79 dollars because I have spent my entire check on apps LOL. So if anyone has tryed this one out tell us about it.

but the battery cover isnt close to stock? lol
BUt 10 dollars cant go wrong! Ordering now.

Careful, that eBay item appears to be for the euro/GSM Hero, not the CDMA Sprint Hero. The backplate looks far too square to fit a CDMA Hero.

Yeah it's questionable, I bought one for the battery reviewer (from the battery reviews in my sig) so I can atleast find out if it's a good battery.

Ummm... ok here's a novel question... how do you cope with putting a case on your Hero when it comes to these extended batteries? I have the body glove case from Sprint and there is no way I could fit it on my Hero if I had a larger back cover. Do a lot of people just not have their Hero's in cases? Or what else are people using to protect their Heros? Cuz I wouldn't mind having one of them longer lasting batteries myself

They sell strap cases where you just put them on your belt loop and you can just insert your Hero into them and take them out. Not protected 100% percent of the time but it just makes you be more careful. But I just don't use a case on at all.

I ordered an Otterbox Impact series, 12 bucks from amazon.

heres one from ebay that acually goes to the HERO200 (cdma sprint hero) for like 16 bucks.. just incase you guys are still looking.. the door looks pretty close to stock.. hope this helps guys...

thats funny.. ive had plenty of mugen batteries in the past plus seidio..and never had one problem etc.. if that mugen 3200 mAh battery is really 1785 then wouldnt it not last very much longer than the stock battery? my brother has the mugen 3200 and it lasts almost as long as my seidio 3500 mAh..
so I dont understand how that can be true unless that mugen was defective!!!

actually....it's a 1790mAh batt instead of a 3200mAh, but even so it seems to last alot longer than the stock battery. I complained to the seller and I got it for free so whatever. I'll let you know how the new 2600mAh one is, I wish the batterboss would review (which btw, go check out his review on the Mugen "3200mAh")
I have the link in my sig, I mean Yes, the Mugen got near 2400mAh which is better than the no name....but at what, nearly 700-800% price increase!!!

The cover that comes with it fits well and is quite comfortable though sadly it doesn't incorporate the 1790mAh battery, so I still have to run with that coverless (though with a vinyl case as a back cover).
The battery itself has quite good battery life, and I'm sure it's going to get better with future charges. I'll let you guys know if it gets any better, though I can definitely recommend it at this point.

Case for Inc w/ extnded batt

Anyone know if there's a carrying case similar to the snap in case (like for the original Droid & X) that will accommodate an extended battery? I've hunted VZW's site & e-bay but haven't found any except the pouch style.

Which battery are you using? I am using the Verizon Extended Battery and I bought this case (P/N VZW6300HOC) Won't let me post links yet. I used tin snips to cut out around the extended cover.

It's a Verizon extended battery, I got it & the back with my inc when they sent it as a replacement for my P. O. S. Devour.

Yeah they did the same for me. This is the best option I have seen so far.

I am using the 2150 battery and I just cut out the back of a rubber case. Works great and looks good.

I just looked at mine & its the 2150, I noticed another thread about modding a case to fit over the extended back & am going to try that. If it don't work I'm out, what, $20? It's worth a shot, I post pics if I can get the X style clip & case nodded to fit.

Not sure if its the same size but Sedio makes an extended case for the 3500mah. They don't sell it without the battery on their site, but if you email them asking about it they will offer the back piece standalone

The 3500 is thicker. Even if it fits, you're gaining the extra thickness of the 3500 case so you may as well get the 3500 battery, too.

Are you talking about the actual back cover to the battery, or an actual protective case that fits "over" the back cover?

Just went into my local Best Buy today. What did they just in..........Seidio Innocase II! $25. And to make life even better......1750mah battery! $40. The packaging says Platinum products something, but when you look on the bottom it says Seidio.
Getting the case was a no brainer. I had their cheap Rocketfish hard case and it's falling apart after a month and a half. The battery I'm still unsure about since some people say it makes a huge difference, some say it is no improvement. But thats for another thread

Seidio 3500 mah extended battery

So has any one got one of these? If so is does it perform well enough to pay that price and make your phone look as though it has a butt tumor?

Geez that is UGLY!!! You'd think a company like Seidio would make a sleeker looking back cover. I mean the Cheepo back covers you can get from Ebay look better than that. Come on Seidio, how about some effort. Aesthetics should go hand in hand when your paying that kind of money.

+1 so with you there. I mean gorillagadgets has a3500mah battery for the shift with a much sleeker case for half the price. Now it probably doesn't perform as well as the seido but still your paying $50 for a battery make a LITTLE change to the case. You get what you get though

I have the seidio extended and I love it! Provided I don't play to much with the phone I will last for 2 days. However does anyone know where to find a phone case for it??

Just checked this out seems interesting. For the price $29 + Shipping , I might just give it a shot. If I do I'll make sure to post up.

I tried the Gorillagadgets HTC EVO Shift 4G 3500 mAh Extended Life Battery but it wouldn't take a charge out of the box. I sent it back for a refund. The customer service was good though.

It's been a while since I first looked into this battery and thought I'd share. I've had it for a few months now and it performs great depending on the rom, kernel, cpu settings etc. The back is rubberized but didn't fit well when I got it. I made the holes for the camera lens and flash bigger which helped. There was also a velvet like pad inside the door that pushed against the battery that had to be removed. Once I took that out it fits great. Right now I'm running MikRunny. I hope this was useful.

Otterbox case out for Droid 3 now

It's been out for weeks

My apologies, I meant out as available to order directly from otterbox.com.
The product was previously shown as "Coming Soon" from their site.

Just got my confirmation email from Otterbox last night 8)
Wonder if it will be too bulky for an already semi bulky phone?

Does it work with the car or media dock?

Sorry mate not sure, i wont get the dock, car mount or otterbox case untill a reliable source in Aus gets these for me which will be months away.
The Dock has a removable base that the phone sits in so I would probably think it should fit, I remember some1 else having some snap on cover for the D3 which worked in the Media Dock. Not sure about the car dock tho.

Does anybody know if the OtterBox can be used with the extended battery? Also, does it make the phone REALLY bulky? How's the top row of the keyboard?

I was expecting chunkier, but I think I'd still rather use my phone "naked"

You got it to fit with the extended battery? I received my Otterbox earlier today and I can't seem to get it.

Just got the Otterbox today and I can confirm it does fit with an extended battery. However the battery, which also came today, is a cheapo 2200mAh from amazon. It a bit bigger than the standard not sure if its the same size as the extended. I use it with the standard back and is not bulging out. Hopefully this is an extended and not labeled incorrectly.
[edit] This battery is not getting hot while charging. Its 77 and the standard it usually over 100. Though it may be misreported.

Let me know how the battery does compared to the stock! Mainly if its lasting longer than it or if the cheap batttery isn't worth the money.

Well the battery's not likely 2200mAh. It gets about the same life as the stock 1500. Still worth the 5 bucks I paid. It's GTMax brand if anyone's interested.

I'm kind of mad I bought the shell/holster they offered, thing's great. But, this looks badass, lol.

The vzw holster is crap as far as i'm concerned. When I got a replacement for a vibrate motor problem I noticed how the new one was much more sturdy when sliding out the keyboard. The case caused it to come loose. The clip near the back of the front camera is too tall and the screen pulled upwards.
Decided to take off the battery cover and see how it fits in the Otterbox. There's no problems it even feels a bit smaller almost as though there's no case on the back. Even tried dropping it from about a foot to see if the battery or sim or sdcard would fall out, didn't move at all. So there should be no problem with an extended battery. Someone at androidforums cut the battery cover to make the extended battery fit. Doesn't sound like a very good idea but I guess it's another option.

Hmm. I have no issues with the vzw one *knock on wood* and its on my hip all day. I have bumped into a few doors at work directly on it (as well as some stupid people in the metro) its held its ground so far.

Nice. Just wish they had it in

The OtterBox case can be found on amazon for around $25 shipped, it's well worth it. Best case I ever had for a phone. I got it to work with the Motorola extended battery, I just modified the stock battery cover with a dremel and alot of patience.

How much was actually 'shaved'? Did it go through the cover all the way and expose the insides at all?

Oh yeah almost the whole battery is exposed, but the inside of the otter box is silicon and it seal everything up and holds it tight. The original battery cover sacrificed his life so that I could use my extended battery. I still have the extended battery cover if I ever choose to take off the ottterbox. There's a thread at droidforums.net that I posted pics and all in.

I really like the cases. Cutouts are really good.
The covered buttons work just fine, no pressing by the case itself, which I have had problems out of some TPU cases.
Will definitely be buying more of these cases.

These are smooth and, won't/don't get stuck in your pocket like a silicone one will.

These cases look pretty cool. Are they thinner than the regular verizon soft silicone case? I am looking for something thinner.

I have one of those from Verizon.
These are thinner than the ones at Verizon.
Not sure how much thinner. Don't have a micrometer to check.
