The batt and cover come as one product. I think it was $69 plus S&H. Another company was selling the same for $10 less. I bought from them first and did not get the same improvement. I called and they claimed to be Seiodio resellers.

Here is what I think. Seidio passed the LiOns onto 3rd party customers when the LiPos came in, with the 3rd Party company being aware or not. I want LIPOs. The chemistry is far superior though you must use high quality chargers. (cheap ones can cause explosions!)

I would pay the full price and buy from Seidio.

Like I said, I think about battery life about the same way I think of my car battery life.
