Case + EB40 - Motorola Atrix HD

I've installed the EB40 in my Atrix when I first got it (This one is a replacement, hard bricked last one), and I bought a case at a mall recently. I found it on Amazon to show you guys which one: http://www.amazon.com/World-Motorol...031344&sr=8-5&keywords=hybrid+y+case+atrix+hd However, I have recently had issues with it causing my speaker to cut out, I'm assuming because the plastic pulls the back away. Would there be any way to fix this or would I have to go without a case/get a new case?

I have am otterbox defender on mine and have used the commuter along with ballistic case and they all work without cutting after the battery mod.

In an attempt to get an answer, would possibly cutting the plastic a tad more solve my issue?

Cutting the plastic over the battery so no plastic is covering it anymore would definitely solve it.

Yes that will do it.. or you can just push the screws very tight

I tried sliding the battery under the plastic lip and after connecting the battery post the phone wouldn't turn back on. Finally got the phone to turn on but anytime the phone fc or got turned off it would be hell to get it turned back on. I would have to take the back cover off and move the battery around. I finally cut the plastic back about a half inch to where it wasn't putting pressure on the battery and haven't had a problem since. Just my 2 cents.

I removed all of the extra plastic so I could use any Cass.

Built quality

Anyone else notice by the volume rocker switch that the phone case itself around the switch is not sealed properly and its coming apart?
Mine is fine. You sure its not your battery cover? Sometimes it needs to be is snapped in all the way.

Guess its time to return this one......

[Q] Does anyone feel that the battery cover is too loose?

Is that by design? Maybe just bad design? Or is it just my phone?
I feel like mine is loose too. Always coming off randomly. A case should fix that problem though.

It is a bad design. One side squeaks when I press it and it is too easy to knock off without a case.

The back on mine seems fine. Does have a squeak on one side, but stays firmly in place.
Mine 1st vivid felt a little loose....I just tweaked the tabs on the cover til it felt solid. Worked good, just be careful not to
Break them.

I have noticed recent shipped models have had the metal hooks slightly bent inward it does seem to have a more snug fit

Yea way to loose.My otterbox commuter fixed my problem.No more worries about losing the battery cover.
It's kind of loose, but when mine gets loose I just pull the cover off and put it back and its tight for another three hours or so.

I think the battery cover issue was resolved. My replacement units battery cover had thicker clamp tabs, doesn't squeak of make my phone feel like a cheap knockoff.

Yeah. I am not encountering either one of those problems. I also got the Seidio Active case on mine now.

Mine Vol- squeeks a little. As far as the battery cover goes I don't feel as though it's too loose. It requires an acceptable amount of force to slide it off, and clicks securely back in place
I lost my back cover for a day, found it in my car, I took it off my car Holder and when I took it off, it fell under the seat. I immediately went out and bought a cheap back cover.

Ditto here.
Just bend the metal tabs of the metal cover up so they are tighter against the plastic housing of the phone. I did this too and the problem is solved. Only need to bend them about 1-2 mm.

cover loose
Funny for HTC to go through the trouble of making a sturdy looking metal cover to have it function like a cheap peice of plastic. Doesn't matter how light the fall, the back come's off my raider. It appears if you tweak the side tabs on the cover you'll get a tighter fit, don't break them though. I haven't tried that yet, however.
Remember there was some drop test for this in one of the reviews out there. When dropped heads down, the lid comes off even it's dripped 3inches.
Still like this better than Samsung plastic backs that start warping and squeaking after some taking off and snapping back.

That is good to kow
I dropped my phone enough that all the tabs are bent slightly outward. Now it seems pretty tight. Problem solved

You can use desintegrator to destroy your current housing and teleport to fix a new one to it's position...
If my g/f can disassemble her Incs to replace a broken screen and digitizer I'm almost positive that you can replace the housing.

At a guess I would say putting it back together is like taking it apart... in reverse.
But how does the screen work? You gotta heat the sceen and lcd to take them off, then they just go back on?
Yes, they do just go back on.
They will go back on, however, the way your screen is held on is two sided tape. When I did mine my tape went to crap, so I had to apply new tape around the edges to get my screen to stay in place.

Otterbox defender screen protector!

We all know it's defective, I removed, I put my own, but now the case is a little too flexible? Anybody have a fix for this? And when revision 2 ever comes out, will we get a chance to exchange ours?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Where the protector was actually glued to the plastic top housing piece, use a thin strip of foam tape (preferably 3m) all the way around about a 1/10th of an inch from the edge. The foam will sit between the top piece of the case and your phone.
Basically you are replacing the thickness of the glue + screen protector that helped keep the case nice and tight. It also helps to keep dust out of the case.
Even if the foam tape is 1/4 of a inch thick, it has a lot of give when pressed.
Thanks for help, appreciate it!

What is the cutting down the button nonsense? Mine works fine.
The screen protector works no differently than they did before or than that on the lifeproof...not getting all of the complaints. ..if one chooses to remove it so be it.. not really validation for the complaint imo

some users report the button sticking and to fix it you can cut down the material, probably isnt a problem with everyone.
My power button was fine. I just didn't like the gap between the screen protector. Felt weird. I had the phantom case for the s3 and it didn't have that. But we all can't get what we want.

I wouldn't remove the screen protector on the Otterbox Defender, although the pressure sensitivity of the S-pen is highly questionable.

Keeping the black clean

I didn't believe those that said smudges would be problem on this phone, but it definitely is. To top it off, grit is stuck in some of my speaker holes and I've no idea of how to get it out. It sticks out like a sore thumb when the phone is clean...

Damn that sucks mine has stayed clean for the most part, I don't know what I would do either if mine got like that..The speaker holes are sooo tiny very difficult to get clean..

I have a xtreme full body kit on mine. Completely clear and has 100% clarity. You can't tell there is anything on the front or back. Takes a simple wipe of the phone with a cloth and it shines like new. No case needed.

I just installed xtremegaurd front and back. U can definately tell it's there(as far as the feel). I'm thinking about taking the screen protector off. The back I will leave because I am waiting on my atmosphere case which has a clear back to it so I still can see the back and not worry about debris getting behind and rubbing on the anodization.
