Looks good! Not like the Seidio cover (yuk). I will post more when I receive mine in the mail and run a comparison.
Not bad for 27.99 if the battery is what its advertised at.
UPDATE 10/3/11
Received a replacement from Gorilla Gadgets due to battery contact issues and a cracking cover...BE WARNED, THE NEW REPLACEMENT IS A "Wedge" COMMON TO THE eBay SPECIALS! THE BATTERY IS ALSO SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER (in size) BUT A STICKER PULL REVEALS 1650x2 = 3300MAH (less than advertised!) NOT HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!
Man I don't like that hump at all!
I still think that the eBay extended battery doors look the best.

Mike! Long time no talk to! I ordered an ebay one for additional comparison. Can't afford nor do I want the Seidio (maybe just the battery)

Glad you hit me up on GTalk bro!
Yea I'm not a fan of the Seidio door or price tag either. The battery though is probably the best extended available. Seidio battery with eBay door would be the setup that I would like.
I didn't use my extended battery for my Evo 4G enough for me to justify buying one for the 3D though. I have 2 Galilio 2000mah ( more like 1300mah) already and 2 Anker 1930mah on the way. I'll just keep a couple extra batteries with me if I ever think I'll be away from a charger long enough to need one. I'm using WTSB 1.3 Rom and get around 20 hours Up and 8 hours Awake with my normal usage. That is more than enough for me 95% of the time..
I have a car charger in each of my 3 vehicles, a wall charger and dock at home, and a wall charger at work. Very rarely do I need more battery life than 1 full charge.

I read that as well but the person didnt back up how they know it was only 2600mah. Only way to tell is to pull stickers or test.
It is ugly, but compared to the "door wedge" from Seidio and the fact that I can put my TPU case on it (with a little modification) its a winner for me. I have the cheapo eBay cover coming as well with the "no chance in hell" 3500mah battery. Pics will follow!
http://www.expansys.com/expansys-extended-battery+back-cover-for-htc-evo-3d-3400-mah-220468/
Just ordered one of these from Expansys UK, it looks exactly the same as the Gorilla, without the branding sticker, I will be interested to see if it is the reported 3400mah especially for £11.99!
I actually like the gorilla backing. It looks better than all I've seen so far. At least the whole thing is not a brick.

Yeah me too, I think its more in keeping with the design of the phone.
I'm hoping maybe I can modify a rugged case to accommodate it like I did with my Defender and HD2.

I just got it this afternoon and I am very happy. The pics are very deceiving as this back cover isnt nearly as big as it appears. I will try to take some pics later and upload. Now to test the battery life. I did a sticker pull and found each battery has a 1700 on it! 1700 X 2 = 3400mAH as advertised. Excellent.

Hi
Anyone tried the QCell X-Life 5600mAh battery?
http://www.amazon.com/QCell-Samsung...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1339607284&sr=1-1
Looks like they have a 4150mAh and also 5600mAh and this is OEM grade. Anyone can comment?
Thanks
Ill try it. What is the back? The kind with the battery butt, or is the entire back large? I'd prefer the entire back. If that's the case I'm willing to give it a go

I'm going to have to say the battery butt, because I bought the Q-Cell 4150 mAh extended battery and it looked exactly the same as the one listed above.
As for the battery it self however, I'm a bit skeptical about the amount it has stored within.
I just bought it thanks for posting it!
When it ships ill be sure to post pictures etc..

I ordered two of these extended battery and neither of the back covers fit. Also, the package does say 5100mAh instead of the 5600mAh that is listed on Amazon website. I called Amazon about this and they are checking on it.
Still is this battery any better than the other ones out there that state "5400" mah? That's what I would live to know?

There are several of the 5x00 batteries out there. I bought the <$10 and have been very satisfied with its performance. I used Juice Offender on it to drain it and it lasted 5 hours with flash on, white screen on bright, vibration going, CPU maxed out, wifi/BT turned on. Quite impressive.
The fact that the common complaint of the back not fitting leads me to believe these are all likely coming out of the same chineese factory with a different label being placed on them. $10-$20 for a decent multiday battery is hard to complain about.
As for the back not fitting...
snap top side in. Slide fingers down the back from top to bottom clicking the tabs in. It will likely take a few tries but you can usually get it to click in securely if you do it just right, almost massaging from top to bottom. If you just push on the bottom it kinda clicks in until you let go then pops out. Mine did the same thing and I was ticked about it until I found others explaining how you have to mess with it a bit, GOOD LUCK!
This looked like a good buy for me. 5200 extended battery for under $10! I used promo code SAVEMORE and got an extra discount plus its free shipping 3-5 days. I will post more when it comes in.

hate to be cynical, but a good percentage of the after market batteries are China made. Only the high end batteries are made from Japan. Even the OEM batteries are technically made in China. (even tho they like to write, "Designed in...." another country. Take Apple for example. or Samsung)
battery
The picture of the battery from the link you posted clearly says "made in china" I'd still like to know how you make out with this though. I think i have a defective battery from samsung because i don't seem to get nearly the time as everyone else seems to get on this site
Thanks so much for this link. However, I'm skeptical since it's so cheap. I'm gonna wait till some other order this and review it. I've always paid way too much for extended batteries from seidio for my former EVO phones and am tired of it. So I'm gonna watch this closely.
I have kept my GPS ,Bluetooth, data on all day. I watch over 2hrs worth of videos and been on the internet all day. I charged it for the first time last night and I want to drain it 100% today. 16hrs of extra heavy usage and I still have 11% of battery remaining.
Cons - cheep back cover very thin plastic.
Will update after a few days.

Just received mine today... the back plate doesn't quite fit correctly. The right side of the back plate doesn't clip in flush.
EDIT: after some aggressive pushing the the backplate it seems to have all clipped in. For less than $9, I can't complain on the fitment. Its pretty impressive. I'll report back in a few days after the battery has cycled to show results.

Ordered this also. For $10 shipped it's worth a shot. The tough to install back cover seems pretty common in these bargain extended batteries, but if it fits who cares. If it works as well as I hope it will, i will consider modding my Seido Active case. With the right application of heat and cutting, I may get something to work. Said it's shipping from their international warehouse whereas the other batteries I ordered for wifes tmo exhibit2 are shipping from stateside warehouse. Was hoping for fast delivery but that's out the window.
I will say this battery is pretty good so far. I'm at 17% battery and at around 5 hours screen on time. Full sync, all location setting on except GPS, etc. Not trying to save battery at all.
Does anyone notice the battery jumping up slightly? Sometimes it will go from 30% to 29%, then back up to 30-31%. Gonna ride it out till its completely dead and recharge.
Sucks that I have no case on it, so I ordered an aluminum bumper.

My phone was doing that on the first battery drain. After I wiped the battery bin I have not seen it again.
My last test was an 8 hr road trip with navigation on the entire trip. My battery level went down to 25% after 8 hrs of GPS full brightness and no charging.

When it comes to extended capacity batteries the two major brands in this regard that I know of is Mugen and Seidio. They're legit.

Yup, Mugen is the best. That is why they can charge $90. Fake counterfeit batteries are usually in the $10-$15 range. These are quality batteries. If you want quality then this is the one to go for.

Anker makes great batteries. I work in batteries and we tested some Anker batteries on our Cadex 7400er and they are everything they claim. The cheap ebay extended batteries usually have less capacity than a stock battery.
