Seidio Innocell Plus Battery Case - HTC One X+

I just bought this case off of Amazon and stuck it on my AT&T One X+. I bought the last "used" one for only $25, but as far as I can tell, it's in brand new condition which is awesome. It fits the phone perfectly, though it's definitely chunky, but less so though than I though it would be. And I gotta say, I'm liking the heftier feel to the phone. The shell is really smooth and feels great in the hand. The main reason I went for this case over a few others was that it actually makes use of the pogo pins on the back of the phone, so there isn't a stupid USB cable sticking out of the side like this case. The battery in the case is hot swappable, so you can put in any similar sized battery to charge your phone if the one inside dies. It's the best of both worlds when it comes to a phone! :fingers-crossed: The battery that comes with it is rated at 1750 maH, which is almost 75% of the capacity of the internal battery, so it has added many hours of battery life to my phone in day to day use. I'm still gonna need a couple more days to test it out, but if anyone has any questions about the case, let me know. :good:

it does look great but the review are kind of bad...
if you could post your impression like after a month of use it would be great!
besides that..what you think about the protection of this case does it have big lips that you can put your phone on the table with the screen faced down?

Andida 1600mAh vs. Seidio Innocell 2600mAh battery

So there's a phone. The T-Mobile G1. Its battery life sucks, so people have made extended batteries for it. There are two which seem to be most highly praised at XDA, the 1600mAh Andida one on Ebay, and the 2600mAh Seidio Innocell.
What i'm wondering is: which one is better for the money? i wouldn't mind the thicker back, in fact i ordered the Seidio one from Amazon and it arrived today. I do know that the Andida one is like wayyy cheaper for the battery life than the Seidio, and supposedly they're both quality...
Should I return the Seidio one to Amazon and get like 2-3 of the Andida ones? for $10 each, that's gonna save over the $50 Seidio... so i want to know if the Andidas are just as good as the Seidios quality-wise and holding charge after a few months. If you could help ASAP that would be awesome cuz i only have so much time before the return time for Amazon is up...
EDIT: so i understand that the seidio will probably last twice as long as the Andidas... but it is expensive in comparison... so getting 2-3, even 4 andida batteries is still cheaper than getting one Seidio battery. maybe in that case as 2 andida batteries outlast one seidio for less than half price the Andida is worth it? or is the Seidio actually going to last longer and thus worth the high premium?
TYVM to all who responded. i've made my choice: Andida. reasons being:
1. i am going to put the invisible shield on the g1 all around and it would looks stupid on the huge back of the seidio.
2. price difference
3. pocket feel lol
Honestly, if you already have the seido one, I'd keep it cause it will save you the hassle of switching out batteries. Also noting that it will probably last longer then 2 Andida's.
I originally purchased a 2300mah battery from some china seller for like $13 about 4 months ago. This battery is still giving me over a day and a half's worth of life and I consider myself to be a power user. I at first really like having the bigger back and made it more easier to type on the keyboard. Now I am at point where I miss using my bad ass leather belt case so I decided to go with the andida everybody was raving about. After a week of using it, I have to say I'm pretty impressed with its daily life so far. I conditioned it for the first 5 charges, I used it up all day till the power was fully drained, then charged it with the power off all night while I slept. I must say I was skeptical at first, but now I am a believer, totally worth the ten bucks.
I've got the Seidio 2600. And although thicker (pack of smokes thick), I can actually use 3G, and or WiFi all day long and not having to sweat missing a phonecall at 6:30 with a dead battery. $60 well spent IMHO
I bought the 20 dollar battery from honkong. 2300mah. The battery life is amazing, but the cover leaves a bit to be desired. I am gonna rma and just hope I got a faulty cover. Barring that, I may call seidio and see if I can just buy a cover.
anyone got any luck finding the Andida Battery for HTC Magic?
tried finding but can't seem to get any info.
Battery in sig. Makes it a lot easier to type and I can feel the vib better, audio is a little muffled, but that is corrected with meltus audio patch. Over 2 days/charge.

yeah i'm kinda in the same situation. it makes it easier to type from what i hear, but i wanted to get the invisible shield on the g1 and it would look kinda stupid on the HUGE back of the seidio cover so i guess it's the andida for me. or should i say Andidas? thinking i'll get like 2-3 to match the Seidio in battery life just in case lol.

try Amazon: they have the Seidio stuff and do sell batteries separately, maybe they'll have covers too idk
http://www.amazon.com/Dream-Electra..._15?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1257761460&sr=8-15
Yeah they sell the covers separately for 8.95, so I will go that route if this doesn't get resolved.

[Q] How much thicker is the extended case?

Hi,
I'm getting my Pro2 today and since I'm very worried about battery life (I hope to be using the TP2 A LOT), I was wondering how much an extended case adds to the phone.
This is what I had in mind (German Ebay but I think you know what I mean from the picture there):
http://cgi.ebay.de/Power-Akku-Li-Io...4579?pt=DE_PDA_Zubehör_KM&hash=item53e279e3e3
Does anybody have such a case for an extended battery? How comfortably can you carry the phone in your back pocket compared to the normal case?
Thanks in advance!
I don't know if I would bother with a case like that (it looks like it'll make the phone about 50% thicker). With the stock battery, it lasts more than long enough for me to get through the day, so all I have to do is plug it in each night. What I'd do is just see how long it lasts you for the first week or so then decide if you want to get an extended battery, HTC makes an extended battery and cover so I'd look into that rather than a third party one.

If you think the phone is fat now, don't try it. It makes it bulkier but also a bit uglier (and i have yet to see a silicon type 2-piece case for the extended back cover (how are you going to protect it after install the extended stuff?))
Wait and see if the normal battery suits you , then if yes just go out and buy another one plus battery charger from ebay and you are set! If not, well it doesn't really give you a choice. You are going for the extended.

After all the purchases i have inside ebay and seeing the prices of the original models, i'd be nuts to prefer the official against the oem from a seller with proven history!
Thanks for your replies!
The extended case does indeed look ugly, so I'm holding off buying one for now. However, despite my light use so far (I need to get the data connections turned off first), it does feel like the battery doesn't last long at all, especially compared to my good old K750i, which I could use to play mp3s for literally days (which I wasn't expecting with the TP2, of course, but still - that was really nice).
I'll wait and see, I guess. But since the docking station, which I also got from ebay, doesn't seem to recharge the battery fast enough, I might have to look for a solution soon.
I have also seen a 1750 mah battery that isn't bigger at all. It fits underneath your existing case, and it is an improvement of 250mah.
I cannot post links atm. Just google "Seidio Inno 1750mAh Extended Life Battery " and find it on amazon. It costs about 50 dollars.

Hmm, $50 is a little too much for my taste, since I paid only little more that $100 for the whole phone and there are plenty of batteries for less than $20 out there.
I have the extened back and battery. Well worth it if you use the phone alog like I do. with the OE battery I was getting down to less than 20% battery life in not time at all. Now I get down to around 50% by days end.
Google HTC and 74H01486-01M (the part number for the OEM HTC extended back) they cost $12.95 (USD)
When I set the extened back next to the phone with the OEM back on it, the extened back is as tall as the original phone, so it is adding about 1/2 inch to the thickness.
Don't expect to find a case for it either, I have had my phone for 1 year and have yet to find a case that it fits in. I have an old worn out one that was stretched that I can get it into.
@wooptyone: Thanks for sharing! I am back to considering the extended case as well since I will be reading a lot of ebooks with the TP2 and the battery does indeed go down pretty quickly. Also, I discovered that I'm not using a case anyway since I have the phone in my chest pocket all the time. The only downside is the docking station that I bought for it, but since that isn't working as intended (apparently the current isn't enough to load the phone while also acting as a USB port ), the extended case so look attractive right now.
Sadly though I can't find the case you mentioned in Europe and S/H would double the price.

GTMax 3500mAh High Capacity Battery + New Back Cover $12.99!

So I found this battery on Amazon about a week ago for $12.99.. Ordered it and I am extremely impressed. Running Stock Rom + Root, constant use daily.I was really getting pissed off with the battery that came with the phone, it just doesn't do it justice.
Pro's - Been using the phone (50% Brightness, Downloading videos, youtubing, texting, phone calls, tinkering with GO Launcher stuff, almost played through a whole game of Words with Friends) Came off the charger at 3 P.M. today, legit screen on using the phone action about 4-5 hours tonight and it's now 11:25 P.M., battery is just hitting 65%! Extremely impressed with the performance of this battery and would recommend it to anyone that needs some extra juice.
Cons - It makes the phone about twice as thick towards the bottom half (I actually like this, it makes it much easier to hold on to and just grip in general). Also adds a significant amount of weight to the phone but nothing annoying, just saying.
UNSURE - Not sure about the NFC Capabilities of the battery, no one around me here has a phone with NFC so I can't test it... Honestly for the performance I could give a S*** less about NFC whether I keep it or lose it.

Awesome price! Great buy for trip battery.
Sadly with that thickness, I would rather club baby seals
Nice find, going to have to think about this buy some more.
so are you able to charge normally? or is it like the other batteries where it throws you into a boot loop?
Just got an extended battery myself. Yeah it's thicker but using a phone all day without worrying about charging it, worth it for me.
Yeah, I just ordered this one too.
I had one on my captivate and I really liked it.
What does it matter if your phone is thin but you keep getting warnings that you need to charge it?
On my captivate if I got down to half of the battery with the larger battery I didn't have to worry, I had good 8 hours of use left.
Just confirmed it does NOT have this boot-loop issue common with the aftermarket batteries. Operates the exact same as the stock battery, still unsure of the NFC capabilities.

just received mine yesterday over 20 hours still 65 percent battery remaining. Will post a screenshot when the battery gets to 10 percent.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Sorry, but I think GTmax stuff is not that good, I purchased 3 batteries made by GTmax, there is no description of mA with just some generic label. Also, out of the 3, 2 were junk lasting only about 10hours with minimal use. Only one battery was decent, pretty close to OEM.
Also, looking at the battery debug info *#*#INFO#*#*, these batteries are more volatile than OEM, as the amps and temperture fluctuate more than normal.
Good Battery Possible Bad Cover?
I turned my phone off to put this new battery in. I fully charged it before turning it on.
It lasted 42 Hours before it died.
I was running Bluetooth, Pandora and Wifi Medium-Heavy Duty.
So the battery seems good, But it seems the back cover wasn't crafted all that well UNLESS I just got a bad one. It seems like a corner of it won't stay pressed down. Its not a huge gap, but it is somewhat noticeable.
Is anyone else think that their back cover doesn't fit all that well or is it just me?
Can someone post some pics of this on your phone?
The pics on Amazon don't show it on the phone and don't show a side-view of the new back cover.
...nevermind, pics in first few posts. company blocked the images
Got mine earlier today I will post back if there are any issues.

Zero Lemon Nexus 6 Slim Power case review.

**ZeroLemon contacted me about a week ago asking if I would like to receive a free review unit of the Nexus 6 Slim Power case, and I accepted. This is a non-bias review on the case. I received it 9/16/2015 and promptly installed it. This review will be updated for 7 days.**
I have previously used ZeroLemon products for my Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S4, and my girlfriends Nexus 5. I have found that the internal replacement batteries are much better than the externals, but the external ones come with cases that may actually give your phone a chance to live during a drop. I have so far enjoyed all of my ZeroLemon products.
9/16: Received ZeroLemon slim power case in the mail and installed it immediately, replacing my SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Pro.
The first thing I notice was that this case literally doubles the thickness of the phone. Not only that, but it adds nearly half an inch to the bottom of the phone below the speaker. The battery included in the package fits very will in the case, but I'm still a bit shocked that ZeroLemon thought 3500mAh was enough.
The case comes with a Z-shaped connector to keep the phone and the battery connected, and allows pass-through charging via a micro-USB port on the left side of the phone. There is also a decent sized cutout on top for the 3.5mm jack, though they decided to include a 3" 3.5mm extension with the case.
To turn the battery on, you hold the power button on the back for a few seconds and you will have confirmation by your phone beginning to charge, as well as 4 blue LED lights on the back of the case. This works exactly the same as all of their other cases for phones with non-user-replaceable batteries.
First impressions:
-This thing is big. It's got a nice weight to it and makes it feel solid. Fits well in my hand (I have fairly large hands for a 25 year old male).
-The power and volume buttons are EXTREMELY SENSITIVE. I can't tell you how many times I have accidentally pressed something when just picking the phone up.
- No Qi-charging. Unfortunately, ZeroLemon does not give us a Qi capable battery, and the case is so thick that even a 3-coil charger will not penetrate it. (Now I have 2 nice Qi chargers that I can't use)
-No Quick Charge 2.0. This (as well as not having Qi) was a real bummer. ZeroLemon had previously sent me one of their Quick Charge 2.0 chargers, but it seems that it is now useless as you are actually charging the external battery, which in turn charges the phone.
-Single piece construction. The case itself feels solid, but I was hoping that it would be more like the one for the Nexus 5 that was 2-piece and had a plastic screen protector.
They really needed to include a belt clip with this case. It's that big. Because of the size and the buttons being so sensitive, I can't really carry the phone in my pants pocket. When I put it in the breast pocket of my shirt, half of the phone sticks out, and the thickness almost prevents it from sliding in at all. Not including some sort of belt clip was a very poor idea.
9/22:
So I've been using my ZeroLemon SlimPower case for about a week now.
More things of note:
-NFC does not function with this case on
-Full charge of the battery in the case gave me about 40% charge (went from 30% to 71%)
-Buttons are WAY too sensitive. Just from being in my pocket and walking around, My battery life has been terrible (screen keeps turning on and off)
-The case does not do a very good job of protecting the phone. The two times that my phone fell (once from the arm of the couch, the other from the coffee table), the case literally just popped right off. A case this large really needs to be 2-stage or have some way to hold the phone in better.
-My cullular signal also seems to be hindered with this case installed. Where I would normally have a little bit of service at my office, I have no connection with this case on. Immediately when the case comes off, I have service again.
-Have had the phone randomly restart on me 3 times since having this installed. Never had an issue with this before.
All of my initial impressions stayed with me the entire time using this case.
I can see times where having the extra battery could be useful, but honestly, you are better off getting an External battery for the same price as this case or likely even less. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this case.
keep a eye out for reboots, mine would reboot several times a day when i was using my case. i absolutely agree on the case needing a holster. its like having a vhs tape in your pocket, the over sensitive buttons was a big problem as well. i took mine off as im in meetings the rest of the week so its def overkill. got a 14 hour mountain motorcycle ride sunday though

Yeah I am going to give mine a week of testing and updating the review. Before deciding if I will continue using it or not.
I just ordered this. Excited for it to come in and see how it goes.
How's it so far ?

My brother just got it and seems the buttons on the vase are too sensitive. Expect your phone to turn on easily and if u hit power button it also hits the volume buttons at the same time

I've had mine a couple weeks. Haven't needed to use the battery too often but also haven't really been able to because it takes so long to charge both the phone and the battery I seldom manage to fully charge it. I hated how much it screwed with my ability to screenshot so I cut a strip out to expose my buttons lol. When I used AOSIP screenshot was built into the power menu but I'm on Chroma Marshmallow now. Good news is battery life is so solid now that I may not need the case after all. I'm looking at over 6 hours on screen with the ROM, Hells Kernel and Greenify and it hasn't even had the chance to optimize apps yet
zerolemon sent me a review unit that ive been using when needed for a week or so. its not something id use all of the time due to the size, but overall im very happy with it. it is a brick, but surprisingly comfortable to use in the hand and doesnt feel too bad in my pocket all things considered. it charges my phone while im still using it even though it doesnt support qc, so thats a big plus in my opinion. on days where i know i wont be near a power supply ive brought this with me and its much better than bringing an external battery pack imo. phone seems to slide down just a hair in the case as sometimes when i hit power it actually activates volume up, but thats not too often and easily fixed. i would definitely recommend if you need the extra juice.
I took a knife and cut out the buttons and now they are perfect. Unfortunately when I put this case on, it makes my tempered glass nillkin screen protector get some lift on the edges (which it never has when the case is not on). So I don't use it now. I have it for a backup case for trips to keep extra juice, but honestly with Android 6.0 the battery life is so much better now with doze, this case isn't really needed as much.
I tried this case and returned it to amazon. It is very poorly designed.
It's literally one giant piece of rubber. No way to secure it to your N6, so it falls out when tossed on the couch! What a horrid design flaw!
The battery also constantlyrubs against the back of my N6 and made a few scratch marks after only a few weeks of use! There is also a ton of space left in the back, ZL should have gone with a much higher capacity battery for a case that thick.
Hate this case, absolutely hate it. Coming form three past ZL cases, which were all great, this one feels incredibly rushed.
Broke down and bought this case..straight garbage will be returning mine .zerolemon should be ashamed to sell this product
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
So update after owning this case for a while. Seldom had the chance to fully charge my phone as well as the case. Wasn't really worth it, with Chroma Marshmallow I'm averaging 6 to 7 hours of SoT now so it was more of a waste not to be able to fast charge honestly. When i had the ZL case on my Nexus 5 it was way more worth it. At least I could pull out the plug and charge both batteries at the same time. Took the case off today, ripped the screen protector off my Supcase and put that back on.
So to sum it up, battery is too small, buttons are so bad I had to cut them out, and for someone who doesn't sleep 10 to 11 hours a day or sit at a desk all day with their phone plugged in, its pretty useless
I'm actually considering buying a Note 4 and slipping on a Zerolemon 10,000 case. Just need to figure out what the best ROMs are and if it would be worth it. I'm tired of seeing manufacturers phase out removable batteries
From the moment I saw that case, I knew it was gonna be rushed garbage. Pathetic move from ZeroLemon. But can't blame them as much as phone makers that make non removable batteries
Better get used to unibody phones and honestly when I can charge my phone as fast as this one charges, extended battery isn't necessary for daily use.... PS...greenify.

No thanks. I'll be switching to LG for removable batteries. Besides, quick charging or not, not everyone can easily access a charger. Especially in my case being overseas
I'm a little surprised by all the negative reviews. I've been using this case since it came out and it's been totally fine for me. Granted it's absolutely massive but serves it's purpose. My phone has never popped out of it and haven't had much by way of random reboots. It has definitely gotten me through some tight Jams but yes, as stated above the buttons are extremely sensitive.

I think people just expected better from ZL based on past experience. I own the Note 2 and 3 batteries. They were excellent, well designed, made good use of space. This one looks rushed, and doesn't make good use of space, for a small increase in capacity. Well, small by ZL standards anyway. To be fair, they are somewhat limited by the design of the Nexus 6. The non-removable battery makes their standard methods impossible. That is unfortunate, I would absolutely buy a Note style battery from them. Having 20+ hours SOT available was exceptional. If they had supported quickcharge on this one, I probably would have still bought it.
At this point, I'm just hoping Sony makes a good device next year that is available from T-Mobile (Jump). With their open source support, if they keep removable batteries and SD, that would be a killer combo.
If you think this case is tolerable then you must not screenshot often
thanks
thanks
Ugliest thing I have ever seen. It is more of a punishment to use this case than a benefit.

Just wanted to provide a quick review for this case ... This thing is a lifesaver if you're in a bind and don't have access to your standard charging options! It is a bit bulky, obviously, but the trade off is worth it! 10,000 mAh gets two full charges so with this case your phone can easily last a few days ... great while camping!
There's no obstruction of the camera (any lense) so snapping pics isn't a problem. Also, you can charge the case and phone while the case is installed with superfast charging! I found Samsung DEX also works through the case too!
Would highly recommend this case! I also love having it around for when we lose power due to storms (which unfortunately has been quite frequent in my area) ... The piece of mind knowing that my phone won't die and I'll be able to stay informed of the situation and make emergency calls if needed is indispensable!
While I too think big numbers are better. This looks way too massive to actually be useful, their own description says it's as thick as 3 s23 ultras, that wouldn't fit in my pocket. Personally I'd just stick with the tiny 5000mAh Anker charger that is magsafe compatible for those that have a magsafe case and it has a nice USB c to c cable for charging the phone and itself. It's smaller than the phone and fits in my pocket with the phone.
This looks like a great concept for extreme users not everyday uses.
I have a 20000mAh portable battery pack that is less thick than this case would make my S23 Ultra so I'll probably just bring the battery pack when my husband forces me to go camping this summer lol
I also have this case, thanks to ZL for sending me a test unit. I really like the case even though it's something I'll use very sparingly. But for camping trips, this one will be a must. Low signal usually means awful battery and I'll for sure be slapping this case on to keep the phone going the entire weekend. I know battery packs are good too and I have one, this case really excels when you need to move around and still use your phone, and don't have to deal with extra cords.
I will say that ZL customer service is awesome too. I had a minor issue with my first test unit and they were willing to get another one sent out right away!
My suggestion is to get a magsafe case and a magsafe powerbank (I have ESR 10000mah) they go hand in hand and is much less uglier!
