I have purchased several seidio products in the past_ starting with palm treo 600 700p and centro_ extended batteries, ziplinq cords, docking stations gps adapters, head phone adapters... Basically every single thing has turned out to be crap. I boaght these things because the IDEA was right-on in each case, and no one else was making it, but the IMPLIMENTATION always ended up sucking. Cords that break, gps car dock that lied about serial connectivity, pins/clips that fail and recede into the plastic of the palm connector so they no longer grab the palm and makes the cable useless,
And topical to this thread, extended batteries that work ok for a few weeks or so, and then fail completely. My most recent centro battery did that. Previously I had the older style extended centro battery that was double thickness. That one did work pretty wel, but the necessary replacement cover they supply with it crapped out and wouldn't stay snapped on after a couple months.
Don't claim this battery is any good until it gets to be at least 6 months old and it still good.
Until then, you can only go by past performance. Which is why I report all of the above.
Buy Seidio because there is no othe option and because its cheap so that the object in question turns out to be crap, you didn't lose too much. Do not buy Seidio thinking you will get a quality product. With this particular item being slightly on the high side , the cheap argument loses weight.
