The Seidio extended battery for the Bold 9650 is spectacular!!
- I don't normally talk about add ons here that I buy for my BB's but I can't help but talk on this one. I got decent battery life out of the stock one that comes with the Bold, usually lasting me till around 5pm with lots of emails, lots of calls with a constant bluetooth connection with some web browsing.
I don't normally like extended batteries because of the added bulk but I read such good things about this one I decided to try it. It is awesome!! The additional bulk actually feels better to me. The phone feels more solid and the battery cover it comes with is great! Best of all it slides right into the charging pod with no problem.
The battery life is incredible. I can't kill this thing no matter what I do. I literally abused it on purpose to see what kind of effect it would have and over a 72hr period I still had almost half my battery life left.
Just thought I post something positive up here as I really am glad I invested the money in this thing. I never worry about my battery life anymore.

I just spent $30 for the case and holster. I'd hate to spend $60 on a battery to find out I can't use my holster anymore.10-19-10 10:10 AMLike 0 - Similar question: Doesn't the extended battery add thickness?

Seidio makes the battery but doesn't make a case for it. I asked Seidio directly. Ridiculous.

Lilian: Sorry, we don't have a case working with the extended life battery for this phone model.
Customer55: Ok thank you.

- If you are talking about using the extended battery with the OEM case it works fine. Fits in perfect and it puts the phone to sleep just like with the regular battery door on.10-19-10 04:36 PMLike 0

Having to put the phone to sleep before putting it in the case is a non-issue, especially considering the extended life I get from the extended battery.10-19-10 04:48 PMLike 0 - So I got my extended battery this past Thursday. It's now Saturday. The instructions say it takes a few charges for it to work properly (expected with a battery).
So far, it seems pretty good. I've charged it a few times, and i'm hoping it does a BIT more for me. I'll post back about this in a week or so...10-24-10 10:51 AMLike 0 - So I got my extended battery this past Thursday. It's now Saturday.

The charging port is oriented slightly higher of course and is not "centered" in the cut out for the port but I have had no problem charging with USB cable, fits ever so slightly askance, but fits snugly.10-25-10 06:07 AMLike 0

- I am seriously considering this if someone can confirm that it does/does not work with the BB charging dock as well as the BB leather holster. Seems silly, but these are two things I can't go without!

If one can't afford to order from a reputable company that takes care of their customers, then buy cheaper elsewhere.
In the meantime, chill out and eat a few more hotdogs.

All I did to make the case fit is cut out the back of the rubber hosing so that it fits around the battery. I used a sharpie marker to trace around the outline of the battery. You must leave the battery door off. But otherwise it fits great.11-04-10 07:43 AMLike 0
