[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.

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.

IIRC, HTC's policy is that they will send you one free replacement.

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.

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

will the samsung flip case from the note 1 fit note 2?

anyone know if this is goign to fit? amazon currnetly have the samsung flip covers for under £5, (orange and brown) so could be good?

No, it won't fit. The official flip cases replace your back cover, and the Note 2 is a different size to the Note 1.

Different size dude!!

and i didnt own a note 1 - so the reference to my underwear fitting from 10 years ago...?? surely would have been better asking if your own underwear from 10 years ago would fit me now?

I seen them in black and white tonight listed on eBay. They look very similar to the original Samsung flip covers. I'm not sure about the quality though. They look good in the supplied pics, but you just never know.

Black carbon fiber battery door replacement

I bought it from ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-Brus...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item53ef678d0f
I must have been lucky cause it arrived in 6 days - overseas shipping Hong Kong to New Zealand
Overall the fit of the case is really good, fits as good as my oem one. Everything clicks into place.
The carbon fibre immitation weave looks good, its made up of plastic. It kinda reminds me of a wicker basket pattern.
The texture feels alot grippier than stock case and has a matte finish to it.

What about NFC? And does it come in other colors?

I saw this listed on EBay and now that I see what it looks like installed, I may get one myself. I'll bet it would look sweet with a black aluminum bumper case too! My only concern is if it's thicker than the original cover. The bumper cases are a pretty tight fit.

I don't have any calipers to measure it but it feels real slim. At a guess it may be like 1mm thicker but minimal.
I haven't tried removing my stock nfc as I don't use it so can't answer your question
There was another guy on this forum who bought several battery door to try but haven't heard any update from him

Why don't they charge $6 more and put the NFC antenna on these things? The batteries are great, but without NFC, going forward are going to lose my business.

Does anyone know where to buy these apart from Amazon (for non US buyers)

Mine came with a piece of crap NFC that didn't even work. I ended up using the one from the stock case and scotch taped it to the phone. Lol works just like the OEM backplate now. It only looks bad when you show off the battery.
Funny enough I've had four different backplates and the only two that worked were the OEM ones.

I just ordered my Anker and hoping the NFC is not crap on it. Also, going to do the vinyl mod that's been talked about in the extended battery cover thread.

Has anyone seen a flip cover type case for these 6200+ mah batteries?

The one I got from Amazon had NFC on it. The site didn't mention it but it didn't work anyway. lol

Yea I had to take the NFC off my original back door and connect it to the Anker back door.

SGH-i605 Housing GREY

So I am having trouble finding replacement housing for my VZW Note 2. I have looked up and down, across every forum I could think of, and online on every retailer I could find and nothing has turned up. I have cracked the rim on my Note and would like to replace it. The problem is, I can't find replacements anywhere. I can find plenty of the white housings, but not the grey. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Go search ebay for "Note 2 oem frame" they are about 20 bux

Sprint one isn't work with verizon... Ad it does not have a sim card slot cut out.

Each version has a specific housing. You MUST purchase a Verizon one. Otherwise you could lose cell reception or damage the internals of the phone in some way. There are tiny little contact points for the radio antennas that are on the back frame. Each version has a different location for these antenna.

Just look for a 50% off coupon in one of these threads and go to the Samsung website and you will be done. It's not that complicated.
