Polls are almost useless because people just click anything whether or not they have any credible input. Posts from users that have experience with the battery is what I would listen to, I guarantee the votes will be full of untruthful/uneducated answers. Not trying to sound mean, just trying to give you a heads up so don't go solely by the votes.
I'd wait for a few people to post their reviews after a few charge cycles. Personally, I'm going to go with the 2150mAh from VZW.
Tests have shown that seidio is overstating the size of the batteries they sell. In fact i have 2 and am not impressed at all.

I feel that a lot of the reports of "oh, it's definitely better" are a result of nothing more than the placebo effect. If I myself get an extended battery I will do extensive tests myself to see root out the truth. I'm sure it will give you a bit more battery life, but the real question is, do you wait for the official extended battery? Too many people are making early purchases, my opinion: wait.
FWIW - BatteryBoss Calls Out False Capacity Claims!
That's the site he may be referring too. Seido has been fairly well documented by battery enthusiasts for overstating their mAh.
Both Seido batteries produce less than 84% of their advertised mAh. Which means that a 1750 mAh battery will presumably only produce 1470 mAh.
Not a whole lotta gain over the stock 1300mAh OEM Battery.
Just sayin...
For me, i'll wait to see how the 2150 looks with the new back and if conventional cases will fit.
What is the difference between a Seidio battery and an "official" battery? They are all made in china or japan and they all are the same. It's like well I could get the $90 HDMI cable from Monster or I could get the $5 one on eBay. Guess what? They all do the exact same thing!! How is a battery better then another battery? Please tell me. Have fun with your "official" extended battery while trying to find a case to put it in.
Judging by this thread and the other, it seems 95% of you are satisfied w/ the Seido. That's worth a look for me.
A 'professional battery tester' WTH? there is no such thing.The guy who runs these tests is baloney. He isn't a professional battery tester. He doesn't test multiple batteries or think of variables. He tests 1 and gives BS information. The dude doesn't even have a job. How do you test a battery without actually using the phone instead of letting it run on standby for hours on end?
agree.Dude, you troll every thread about extended batteries and your sig makes it look like your sole mission in life is some crusade against Seido. Just because you had a bad experience doesn't mean that Seido is a bad company.
