As a matter of fact, I've had the SEIDIO extended versions for my Mogul AND Touch Pro and YES they DID provide noticeably better battery life. I'll grant you that's based on usage habits more than anything else, but they get me through an active 12-hour work day with about 50% remaining, so that makes me a happy camper.

Seconded. The massive 3,500mAh battery on my XV6800 would not die after three days of use. After a day with heavy email use, it would be down 1/3. I have high hopes for a TP2 Seidio battery/case/holster combo.

Re: Seidio stuff Coming Soon :)

My personal experience with the Seido case for the HTC Mogul was

* Case did help with avoiding minor scratches since it covers nearly the whole thing
* I doubt it will help your phone all that much if it falls even head height on concrete
* It did seem to make the sliding mech. looser in a bad way, it put pressure to increase the gap where it slides
* The little plastic tabs that actually hold the case to the phone break incredibly easy and my case didn't last more than 6 months (for me too spendy to replace twice+ a year)

Definitely +1 to this post...I had the extended batteries for my Mogul AND my Touch Pro as well. It wasn't the big battery that required a new battery cover, but I noticed a DRAMATIC difference in battery life in both devices. I am happy with the TP2 battery now, but definitely will be ordering the extended battery for the TP2 when the cases are available

i love the cases...but if they can somehow mold those tabs to be stronger so they dont break when you take the damn thing off...that would be nice. maybe a small piece of metal instead of plastic molded in.

Re: Seidio stuff Coming Soon :)

There was a really big deal a while back regarding seidio's slim high capacity batteries (the ones that fit with the stock battery cover). I think it was over in the original Touch/Vogue forum. At first people were claiming that the battery life was amazing and a huge improvement, but then someone suggested that it might just be a placebo effect since no one had any hard data, and seidio couldnt provide any information on testing other than "we've tested these batteries, they work much better"....

The board members ended up doing several tests and discovered that the seidio batteries that were rated 200mwh higher than the stock batteries were actually providing LESS battery life when compared to the stock batteries.

I love their innocases and clip-holsters (not really a fan of the innocase/clip-holster combo since the holster in the combo is not rubber coated), but as for the slim direct replacement higher capacity batteries... I'd recommend that you steer clear... or at least read up on them over at the vogue forum before jumping in.
