Seidio 2600 mAH battery -- Picture Request, PLS.

Mthr1 · Thread Author #1 09-08-2009, 09:51 AM

Update: Seidio 2600 for Tour Now Available from ShopCrackBerry.com!

When it becomes available, I'd like to request if someone would be kind enough to upload some images of the new Seidio 2600 mah battery (installed, of course) that is shipping to pre-buyers this week.

The single image that is on their site doesn't show the angles I was hoping to see with the battery door installed. I have a Seidio 2600 mah on my 8703 that was very visually tasteful in appearance...(LOVED the battery life), but I have also seen my colleague's Curve with his Seidio battery and it looked awful, imho. Very square lines...and heavy added thickness.

So...whenever someone gets the opportunity, I am formally requesting some pictures from a few different angles, so I can see if it will look ok.

Thanks.

What's makes it so undecisive about the added profile of their batteries are that it's variances throughout the line of Blackberry devices.

Like mentioned before, the Seidio battery for my 8703e was great. Added some thickness to it, but the battery door design was tasteful and visually appealing.

My friend's Storm Seidio battery and door is pretty nice and appealing as well. Another co-worker has one on her BB Bold. Looks good. 3500 mAH.

The other ones that I have seen with Seidio batteries installed that are "less visually appealing" (again, imo) are the BB 89xx Curve and the 8830 devices. The 8900 is probably the worst that I have personally seen. The hump on the back of the phone is MASSIVE and gawdy.

Anyways, I am eagerly looking forward to seeing post installation consumer pictures.

I just got/getting the 360 Seidio case (well it's on the FedEx truck should be here any minute).Well you be making a back that fits the 2600 mAH battery for the 360 case?
CS couldn't answer me when I order the case, when I asked them.
But I couldn't wait, I needed the case. And the way the Tour battery life is,
I want/need to get the 2600 battery, but don't want to have but a whole new case!

Well, since it doesn't appear that Seidio makes an Innocase hardcase that accommodates any of their extended batteries and door, on any other previous BB model, I doubt that we'll ever see one for the Tour.

Although, depending on how much bulk is already added to the Tour with their new 2600 mAH battery and door, compounding it with an innocase would be pretty much over the top, imo.

I had the Seidio case for my 8330 Curve with there extended battery.
When I first got the Curve, those were the first things I got for it.
And the case went though a lot and it's still in good shape.
So I'm guessing they will come out with a case for the Tour that will fit the extended battery that they sell.

They do have a pic on there web site of the battery and door. (Innocell 2600 Extended Life Battery). It's not that great of a pic.

I stand corrected, however, I notice that they only make it for a couple of Blackberry models, one of the Curve models and the Storm (Only Innocase Surface I) Also, I noticed that none of the Innocase Surface II versions accommodate any of the extended batteries (from what I can see, at least).

Looking at the Innocase Surface I Extended for the 83xx Curve models, it really makes the battery hump on the back look exaggerated.

Pictures are up of this guys! Just go to the product details page and click on the image. They posted some side and back shots as well as a more clear image of the cover actually on the phone. Looks like I WILL be buying one very soon.
