Pros:
DEEP reserve of power. Everything fits like OEM.
Cons:
None yet.
I wish all my purchases were this straight forward. Choose product, buy product, live happy.
Great Battery!
User: Derek Napoli, Jun 28, 2009
Wow, my default battery would almost be completely dead after 5-6 hours of normal use. I bought this battery and charged it over night. I woke up at 8am taking it off the charger and 11pm that same day, it still had 20 battery life left! Very happy customer. Only downfall is the phone is heavy like a Zack Morris phone but this is one minor glitch for the bold lovers! BTW the SKIN does fit, just a little stretched out, but not too bad im still using it.
Works Great, but I might have a one-off

Pros:
Long lasting power
Cons:
Battery doesnt fit snug...a slight bump and the device resets
This battery and door are GREAT! Battery seems to charge quickly and retain its power for a long time without any unusual heat build-up, however, if the phone gets bumped, it loses battery connection and resets. I thought I had an issue with my phone until I went back to my standard battery and the problem went-away. I have tried putting pieces of paper between the battery door and the battery, but I think the problem is a vertical, not horizontel issue. In that case, nothing will fit in there that could make the battery fit snugly. For now, Im going back to my standard battery and keeping this Extended one for emergencies.
Worked great... for 7 months!

Bought this battery back in December. It worked great, held a long charge (5 days between charges vs. 2 days with standard battery), and I was very happy with it. The rubber on the back case began to peel away after a couple of months, but it wasnt terrible (there is 90 of it still on).
However, earlier this month, I noticed it was draining after a couple of days and required more frequent charging. Then, one night I was out and my battery drained to 0 (like any battery would do normally). When I got home, I plugged it in, and my Bold displayed a battery error icon. I was unable to charge it and was unhappy to see a 6 month warranty, 7 months after I bought it.
I contacted Seidio support and explained my situation, and they agreed to replace it. I am waiting for a new one. So while I cant necessarily say the quality is excellent (maybe this was an odd-one-out), Im happy with the reply and looking forward to receiving my new battery soon. Thanks Seidio.
great battery life. useless for everything else

Pros:
Battery lasts for what seems like forever
Cons:
Bulkier than even normal Bold, wont fit in case, skin no longer fits, camera performance impeded
If you need your phone for purely business needs and need an extended battery and if you keep your phone in a briefcase/ bag this is the battery for you. if this isnt the case i recommend buying a second battery and stashing it somewhere.
