hey guys, I have noticed since I've been running android, that about once a week my phone battery cover gets a little hot. At first I was taking the battery cover off, then I noticed what looks like the same heat-transferring tape that I see inside of laptops and DVD players to transfer the heat to the battery cover. I guess the battery cover acts as a kindof heatsink to keep the battery cool. So when I started looking into the Pdair or Monaco cases, I noticed both of them had neoprene inner linings and that made me think about how my phone battery could potentially overheat and lower the lifespan of it while insulated inside the neoprene/metal case. I thought about getting some thin heat-transferring tape and putting it between the battery cover and case by cutting out a small section of neoprene. Before I go to all of that trouble, I want to know if someone has had a problem with the battery burning out while inside the metal case
My hd2 does the same thing, while running android the battery seems to overheat but does not seam to affect the phone or battery.

When I press down on one of the sides of the battery cover, it moves a bit and makes noise. This also happens when I wiggle the cover. It seems like the cover is not fitting perfectly so I'm wondering if I need a new battery cover.
Try placing a small piece of foam between between the battery and the cover.
Or duct tape may work as well.... It is from removing the cover often.
The TD2 batt cover is flimsy plastic, as we all know, and will not hold up when removed often.
Try installing a simple soft reset .cab to avoid removing the cover so much as well.
Looks good in the video.

I had that case. If you plan on opening up the battery cover a lot then this is not the case for you. Taking it off often will scratch the rubber coating off your HD2.
check on Ebay, they have it for $6-7 shipped. i have been using it for the last 2 month
The problem with this case is not that you will have a problem removing it for e.g. battery change. The problem is that that place where sound volume is - it is very thin and breaks easily
I have the case-mate case, which I'll say is identical. In addition to rear door access, (which you'll need if you catch the sleep of death) removing my case dozens of times has actually warped the case, so it no longer fits perfectly. in its defense my case-mate case (which looks completely identical) will not come apart or pop off with drops and covers the phone well.
I know that the extended battery cover is plastic (I have one), but I'm wondering if there's any 3rd party standard battery cover that's plastic?
Reason being that I want to vinyl dye my HD2 to white, and it's impossible to dye a titanium battery cover. So I'm looking for a battery cover that uses the same plastic as the rest of the case.
I've not seen any, but have read somewhere on here that the cover also dissapates heat, so replacing it with plastic is not a sound idea , you could always rub it down, prime and spray paint it with a decent car paint ot acrilic
Try searching, some guys on here have done a great job
I'm looking for a metal based case so that I can use my Mountek magnetic holder.

I can stick a piece of metal on the back but it looks unsightly.
Thanks.
would any of these work?

Pretty sure aluminium is non-magnetic

Just get some thin magnets from your fridge, stick them on your phone and you're good to go
Are you using a case now? I had a spigen, I put the little metal attachment it came with between the hard part and the silicone. Had to bend it and cut down at the silicone a bit but it worked perfect. Only thing is since the phone is curved you need something with a high friction constant on the magnet part.
Thank you all for your replies.
Lost the phone and just got a replacement. I'm thinking of opening up the phone to place the metal plate inside on the battery.
The only issue is the speaker grills keeping their shape afterwards.

When you open it up, what you find on the bottom is not the battery, it's the motherboard in the center and two daughterboards top and bottom. The battery is in the middle, below the circuit boards, right behind the display. And there's almost ZERO free space inside that case. Even with a very thin strip of metal, you won't be able to close it properly.
Your best bet is getting one of the slim "barely there" style cases and stick a thin metal plate on the inside of that. TPU cases would work well for that too, maybe even better since there's a bit more flex.

Forgot to update.
Removed the back cover and stuck my metal plate in the middle and the back cover closed as before. You have to be careful where you place the metal plate so that the back cover closes properly.
Disassembly was quiet straight forward.
I'm having this issue too. Has anyone tried bending the metal plate to match the phone? Does it affect the strength of the magnet ?
I'm thinking getting one of the hybrid case (seems to be flatter) to use with the mount.

You don't need to bend the metal plate. Just place it exactly in the center. the metal doesn't need to be too big. Mine is Length 6cm Width 2.5cm.
Using a case is easier but I like to use the phone without a case. If ever it gets damaged or time to sell I can replace the housing.
This battery case is phenomenal and has plenty of extra boost at the touch of a button. Comes with an extra microusb to microusb. The case with the phone is a little over an inch thick. I'd definitely recommend this beast of a case!
While I love the case I have a few issues with it.
-When I charge the device at night it charges the phone and the pack. Problem is at some point it stops charging the phone and I wake up to 80%-90% or so battery life on the phone
-No belt clip. BIG deal! I am a big guy and putting this giant thing in my pocket is a big pain in the ass. I have to dedicate an entire pocket to the phone. Impossible to do in nice dress pants.
-No real protection. The TPU is cheap to say the least. Its little more then a rubber layer comparable to any 5-10$ chinese case. I am used to my kit for the Note 2 from Zerolemon. It had a nice hard shell wrapped in a nice tight tpu with a plastic screen protector. Miles more durable. The TPU does not fit the phone tightly. Its loose enough that particles easily find there way between the phone and the TPU.
A few nice things to say:
-I had not considered how much use the extra usb port would give me. I now leave my external battery home and charge my tablet and BT speaker from my phone. Its one solution for all my gear and its enough to get me through most any day.
-The charging time is pretty decent. Even when charging my tablet. Its as fast as most wall chargers.
-The TPU does not attract dirt as bad as some do.
-The headphone jack does not require an extender. I tried several different headphones. Even with a right angle they all fit perfectly and without issue.
-The battery pack is perfect for keeping my phone and tablet juiced for an entier 8-12 hour work day.
