I've had it for a week now and it works great, I'm getting a couple of days out of the battery with regular use and it will go even longer without using a lot of features. My only complaint is that I carry my storm in my pocket without a case and the battery extender cover has a very rubbery feel to it and my hands get a rubber (tire) smell on them.
I'm just wondering whether or not I should invest in one of these batteries. I don't even get a full day on my battery for my storm. Thanks.

I have had it for a couple of weeks now and it is a godsend. Getting 1 + 1/2 to 2 days use, but I am heavy user!
This is probably the best accessory for the Storm!!!!!!

I bought it and it worked great until a small drop cracked the tiny little tabs off of the cover rendering the battery useless.
Seidio support was initially responsive but they passed me on to returns and I haven't heard from them in days. Sorry for the bad news. I am bummed without my larger battery.
Others have had the same complaint. I ignored them but wish I had listened to their warnings.
My battery life with moderate/heavy use has easily tripled since updating to .114. I'd be astonished to find out what would happen if I bought extended life batteries hehe

I have the Seido extended battery, the one that fits with the original battery cover. Overall I recommend it but the biggest difference I've seen by far is the OS updates. I'm running 114 now. With the previous OS versions, I would be at 60% around 6 PM on a normal workday. It's almost 5 now and I'm at 92% right now. That's a pretty remarkable difference.
I just ordered the slightly extended one that has more power, but still fits in the same space. It should be here today. I can go two days on the standard battery with light use. I usually charge it every night anyway, but a little extra won't hurt for those heavy use days. I will let you know how it goes over the next couple days. I always carry a spare with me too!
