Seidio vs. Mugen 3200mah extended life battery

[Guest sokar311]

Hi, has anyone here bought one of this batteries, what's your opinion, the mugen is more expensive but i think the battery door is better, i have been looking at this batteries because no matter what we do, the nexus one battery life really sucks.

I have the Seidio extended battery, and im very pleased with the performance. Obviously my phone is tweaked, but i usually get 3 days of batterylife with moderate use. Moderate use includes at least 1-2 hours of Wi-Fi surfing a day, and BT enabled during the daytime.

I like the Seidio battery cover. Its a kind of rubberized plastic that covers all the back of the phone. For me it means the phone fits my hand much better and makes it easier to operate with just that one hand. The cover seemed flimsy when i got it, but it actually fits pretty nice, is easy to remove but it has never come off unintentionally.

I'm just throwing my opinion out there. I don't have the Mugen battery. But lately I've been considering it. I currently have the Seidio extended battery with case. I am a really heavy user and also my cell reception isn't always the best so a lot of battery is burnt just retransmitting which translates into charging daily. Sometimes I can get away with not charging over the weekend but at work I have the music app on for 6 hours minimum, 1 hours of web browsing, and GMaps usage throughout the day. Also on the weekends I use the phone as for GPS tracking with MyTracks and that just chews through battery life.

Overall I'm happy with the Seidio battery life, maybe once a month it won't last me for the day. The case it comes with it I'm not terribly fond of, it allows a lot of dust and lint through the tolerances toward the bottom of the case. And I've had case come off once while the taking it out of my pocket, that ruined that GPS tracking for the day. But the battery suits my needs most of the time and the back case while I'm not terribly fond of does take a brunt of wear sitting on my center console for my work truck.
