I'd be very interested, especially if there was a Rivet clip option.

vbaskar,
I have the forte case that zips up, and has the plastic covering over the screen and keyboard for the 8700 series BB (I have a 8700g), not sure what what the name of that case is. With the standard battery, it is a good fit. With the extended battery, it's a snug fit (It bulges the case just a tad, but feels very full in your hands). Hope this helps some!

Guess that's asking too much.

If we develop the super slim crystal/rubberized case for 8700, we will also develop a matching holster to go with it.

Rivet clip obviates the need for a holster. Oh well ... Still looking.

Our rubberized case is supe slim (1.0 mm to 1.2 mm). it can not support the clip in the back. If we want to support clip, then we need to add the thickness to more than 2.0 mm which is not our design.

Leather case mfrs use additional thickness of material encircling the Rivet to give it additional strength and supprt. Unless you've already built the mold for these cases, an allowance for additional material could be applied locally where the Rivet would be installed. The rivet would have to be installed at the time you pour your mold, I believe. Just a thought.

Can anyone tell me if the Seidio extended battery fits in the external charger for 8700 series batteries? It looks like it should fit, but I don't want to order the external charger unless I know for sure. Thanks.

Yes, It will fit the RIM external charger.

Seidio also offers the Seidio external charger

I'm sold -- just ordered the battery tonight! Any idea how many business days it will be before it is shipped?

Once I receive it, I'll let you know how it compares to the OEM extended battery which I have been using for the past year.

We tested our extended batteries with RIM wall charger and USB cable. It did not have any problems.

If reading the forum and still seeing problems with full charging not being able to be acheived has not prompted your company to look into this problem honestly what will?

Simply stating you dont see any problems wont cut it. How about some info on what may be causing the problem. It does not make me want to upgrade when it will only charge to 80 or 90 %. Is it all vendors batteries or limited to only some?
Facts and suggestions would be nice.

Marketing political correctness not needed. You have a good rep with the BB folks, dont blow it.

Pizzicar was speaking about the fact that his RIM extended battery would not charge properly. We cannot begin to speculate on problems RIM is having with either their phone or battery. We simply tested our battery and didn't have the same problem.

It does not make me want to upgrade when it will only charge to 80 or 90 %.

I haven't seen anyone talk about our battery only charging to 80 or 90%. I did see a post from martin_j001 that stated he used his phone all day and still had 85% after charging to 100%.

Is it all vendors batteries or limited to only some?

I can't speculate on other vendors batteries because I don't know of anyone else producing this besides RIM.

Facts and suggestions would be nice.

The fact is that we're not seeing the same problems with our battery. If you're having a problem with your OEM extended battery I would suggest contacting RIM. If you have a problem with our battery please contact us.

Marketing political correctness not needed. You have a good rep with the BB folks, dont blow it.

I'm really not sure where this came from...we've been nothing but honest and upfront about our battery and have even been backed up by the customers on this forum. If you're upset about the fact that we don't fix phone problems I apologize. We manufacture accessories that work with phones, not the phones themselves.

Will the cover for the 8700g fit my 8700r?
