you can’t find a really good case to protect the phone with . The best one is by Diztronic but it is very thin. I went back to the standard battery and both another one and a stand alone battery charger so I can charge up the battery out of the phone and I just rotate then as needed. I want a really good case for the phone because of my work condition and the extended battery cases are just not good enough.

i use 4000mAh extended battery from Mugen.

i am very happy with the autonomy of the phone, i get about 3-4 days between charges on moderate use, heavy use gives me 2-3 solid days. and i do not mind the bulkiness the extended batteries add at all, those who are in a need of extended batteries go for functionality anyways. So in my opinion extended batteries are the winner.

I just don’t understand why the extended batteries have to be so thick to begin with. We have the technology to make them the same size or thinner but manufactures are to cheep to produce them. We could get so much more out of the batteries if they were made right to begin with. Years and Years ago, I mean back in 97/98, I got an extended battery for my nokia phone. It was double the mAh, thinner then the OEM battery and had the built in vibrating ability back when it was built into the battery. It was some kind of poly carbon blah blah battery. That battery lasted for years. When I changed phones in 2001 that old phone sat in a box for years. I gave it away in 2005, turned it on with that extended battery and the damn thing still had a charge, 1 bar left. Yeah we keep making all these advances in technology but why does it seem in some cases we are going backwards…

I don’t mind the extra weight if it’s going to give me extended battery life. It’s not like I’m carrying around a sack of rice. Doesn’t look bad at all, either. With all the apps and added functionalities of mobiles nowadays, one deciding punch will definitely be battery life.

I haven’t found anything worth trading my wife for, but I can be sure it wouldn’t be for the Thunderbolt. Thinking…

NO it isnt…..but it is compatible to the clamshell case that has the pull out kickstand on it. so seeing as the my case was already designed to have to extended battery it was a non brainer for me to get one. I am a HEAVY user and I am getting about 11-12 hours out of the battery so I am as happy as can be

I think the Logo’s represent the quality of products that you use. Like if you see someone with a horeshoe on thier jeans, you know they have a pair of true religeons. Would you take the Horse off of your ferrari? then again a personal preference

got the extended battery for 50% off. This website is great!

Not bad at all… With the extended battery I have 50% at 13 hours run time, with the battery in “Performance Mode.”
42% Cell standby41% Phone idle7% Android OS5% Wi-Fi3% Display2% com.motorola.service.main
Does anyone else have an issue with the back cover “squeaking” on the long edge? It’s seems to bow out a little leaving room to push in while holing it normally. Seriously annoying and cheap feeling. I might try a heat it up slowly to re-form it slightly.

Ah, thanks for the info. That is what I was interested to know. So in their tests, the Bionic only did slightly better on its “bigger” battery on web browsing than the TB, and did a little worse running its Hotspot than the TB, even with its newer specs, bigger battery and dual cores. On these results, I’d say the TB did just fine releasing with what it has, when it did, as the first phone with LTE.

And even though web browsing is the worst on the TB, that is something I don’t do too much of anyway so for me, I end up getting pretty decent battery life. Last I checked I got 12 hrs in 4G the whole time with 1 full hr of tethering my GT10.1. Stock.

Yea but the TB is still sexier than the Bionic.

Hey I’m curious if anyone has tested the regular battery on the stock Bionic with 2 hrs of tethering? One hour of tethering?

Kellex, I got 22 hours on extended battery before I had to charge it. The most I have got on regular is 14, but this is also while I was at work with the phone on vibrate in my pocket (I work in a restaurant), WiFi off and 4G on. For $25, the extended battery is worth the purchase….my only beef is the otterbox case will not fit over the extended battery and cover.

Does the device fit into all the docks and stuff with the inductive back and the extended battery&cover?
