I contacted customer service and they told me this is not an original Dell battery and it is a generic - Should this be a concern? The price ($60 including S/H) is about what I was hoping to spend on a battery and case.
The other option I am considering (because I already have a Rhinoskin case that will not fit an extended battery) is ordering 1 or 2 of the 1100 Dell batteries from Lionbattery.com and switching them when the power runs low.
What would you suggest? I'd appreciate any suggestions, or updates on discounts for batteries or extended cases.
Thanks

I have the PDair and the extended battery and have been very pleased with both. The case is very solid, and has a nice snug hold. Note that I purchased the original Dell battery on eBay for some $36 before learning of the deal, else I'd have gone for the combo. I can't begin to see what difference it could make frankly. The PDair is a great case, and I've been very pleased with it. I travelled abroad last week, and the 2200 battery provided all the usage and convenience I had expected. I never got below 35% before being somewhere I could recharge, but I'd really have hated to have to worry about it running out and having to switch batteries, so I'd highly recommend getting the 2200 battery.
