Given that I am in the process of switching from my Sprint HTC Hero over to a Verizon HTC DROID Eris I have been paying more attention lately to accessories for the Eris, one of which was extended batteries.
Personally I am not really sure that I need one, but at the same time, a little extra juice is always a welcomed option for a smartphone — especially when you are a heavy user.
That said, it seems that Seidio has two options available, a 1750mAh and a 3500mAh which are selling for $49.95 and $69.95 respectively.
The main difference here, aside from the 3500 offering more juice (and being more expensive) is that the 1750 model was designed to fit with the original battery cover. And that means no extra thickness. The 3500mAh battery on the other hand will add some extra thickness, though its said to only be 3-4mm. The nice part here is that this battery does come with the replacement back cover.
And just for those wondering, the stock battery on the DROID Eris is a 1300 mAh battery.

Been considering an Eris myself. You said you didn't think you would need an extended battery, but one of the things that's keeping me on the fence is all the reports I've read about Eris' horrible battery life. Has there been a software upgrade or something that improved this?
