Seido Battery Claims False? - Page 2

No axe to grind, no mud to sling here. However, when I had my original HTC Touch, a LOT of people bought the slimline extended battery from them. This battery was tested EXTENSIVELY by folks here and @ XDA I believe, and it fell well short of Seidio's claims. They finally offered full refunds, but I haven't bought a battery from them since.

Is this thread still alive? I could have sworn the mods would have closed it already. Seidio rebrands cheap products made in china. Their customer service and RMA department is (literally) permanently out to lunch. You can check this yourself. I had a battery overheat repeatedly on me and when I tried to obtain an RMA number even their own receptionist could only offer me the advice of the guy who handles RMAs is always out of the office at lunch.

What a way to run a (crappy) company.

No, they don't. I've thrown away after unsuccessfully trying to return for refund cases and clips from them. Their innodock craptastic line of products is a joke.

You can get a charging stand that won't support a spare battery or you can get one that supports a spare battery, but won't let you charge your device if it's in a case.

Stupid designs that are 100x cheaper via ebay from knockoffs that are just as low quality.
