Customer Reviews

I ordered two of these batteries and I have to say I couldn't be more pleased. I had considered the Seidio 3500 battery, but I really hated the look of it. The back hump was just too ugly and wasn't worth it to me to carry around an ugly phone for a bigger battery.
This company doesn't lie when they say they are quick shippers and ship fast! I ordered each one a day apart and each one took a mere 3 days after ordering to arrive. That's amazingly fast for a Marketplace merchant, and wasn't using any expedited shipping company. And the shipping was pretty inexpensive considering the amounts for shipping I've seen others try to charge.
The pictures of this one seriously do not do it justice. It doesn't have a hump, but has a very sleek, attractive look. The thicker part where the battery sits is flat, and gently slopes down to the top and bottom edges. The camera and LEDs are framed by an inset frame, so to speak, that sits lower than the rest of the case, as does the kickstand access. Overall, it really doesn't add much bulk and, better yet, doesn't LOOK like it adds much bulk. The back almost feels like metal, and has a smooth coating that feels almost rubberized. Definitely not slick or slippery, its very easy to keep a light grip on. And a bonus is that both my son (who I got the second one for) and I have white Evos, so with the black backing, we now have Oreo Evos. :D
As far as the battery itself, I haven't had much of a chance to test it yet since I just got it yesterday. But it came with a 70% charge and I was away from home for several hours and used it non-stop, and by the time I got home, it was at 58%. I was accessing the forum through Tapatalk, checking 4 emails every 15 minutes, checking in on Foursquare and Yelp several times, used the browser to search for some information for about half an hour, texted almost non-stop, and several other things. I had background and auto sync both on, and for much of the time was in a building where I was constantly losing 3G signal and when I did get it, it was rather weak. So overall, I think it held up pretty well.
I'm very happy that I went ahead and purchased this one. Not only was it cheaper than the Seidio (actually it was the same price as the Seidio 1750, which I had ordered a couple of days before for my son and immediately returned unopened when it came).
The downside, of course, is that there aren't any cases available for it. However, there are some workarounds, so to speak. I have the Seidio Active case and while the hard shell back obviously won't fit, the inner rubber lining does. So it will have some protection. In addition, I have the Seidio Active holster. I was hoping the thickness of the new battery/back would make up for the thickness of the Active case, and that the holster would still work. I was right and wrong. The holster does not work with the extended battery when nekkid, but with the Active rubber lining on it, it does fit. Woot! :)
Unfortunately for my son, he has the Seidio Innocase Surface II, and the case doesn't fit. It does fit in the Surface II holster, sort of. It wobbles a bit, there's a bit of spare room, but it holds it securely enough that the phone won't fall out. (I hope he's right about that.)
So for those of you who, like me, hate the hump on the Seidio extended battery but want longer battery life without having to carry a spare, you should give this one some consideration. It adds just a small bit of size to it and not a whole lot of extra heft, and it looks very sleek and attractive.

Just a quick update on the htc 3500 extended battery. I purchased this battery in hopes that my phone would last all day without having to recharge the phone but after receiving the battery I was only lasting approximately 1 hour longer than the stock battery that came with the phone,this resulted in a 3 star rating from me. I was not seeking nor was I looking for an exchange or replacement of the battery I figured I got what I paid for. The company contacted me after seeing that I was not pleased with their product and I have sent me another battery. This battery I am totally pleased with I am able to use my phone all day now without having to worry about having to charge it. I am using bluetooth,navigation running all day countless text messages and around 2 hours talking on the phone daily with out having to worry about finding a place to charge my phone.Customer satisfaction like this you cannot go wrong purchasing this battery this companys total commitment to customer satisfaction is very refreshing in today's economy.
