Hi guys, The back battery covery of my 2012 1 gen Nexus 7 is broke, a couple of clips broke off and it wont shut properly, ive searched ebay and amazon and can only find cases, etc etc, i need the original back cover that clips on to the housing, anyone know where i can purchase said original item, or high quality replacement, im lost, looked all over but struggling to find where to buy one.
I think there is no replacement battery cover out there for the Nexus 7 2012. I have looked around on Ebay etc, but I also weren't able to find one.
But I maybe have a idea why don't you get a case and but it on your Nexus with the brocken battery cover on it? I think the case should hold the cover in place.
Says 4 left. IDK.

just search "nexus 7 battery cover" on aliexpress.
they ship for free worldwide, for less than 20$ and you'll wait about 2-3 weeks
I have one from my spare Nexus 7 which went bad few days back. Lemme know if you still need that.

It looks like most of the posts in this forum are for covers - should've looked here earlier.
I tend to abuse my phones pretty badly - I usually buy a case, but since the options were slim for the Focus when I bought it, I haven't had one. The other day I put the phone in my pocket with keys and the back cover took a beating.
Anyone found a place to buy a replacement back cover? I figured they would be available by now, but I haven't seen any other than one on eBay that's up to $37 at this point.
I tried calling Samsung's mobile accessories / replacement parts line, but no one seems to pick up.
I have one from a focus I sold for parts. I dont know how you would want to do a transaction but id sell it for 20 dollars.

How much for the earphones?
Me too
I sent Samsung Support an email requesting information about ordering one and got no reply. Sent it weeks ago.
back cover
I definitely need to locate a back cover also.
Hi guys. I too broke my back cover.
I called Samsung, and leveraged my way all the Corporate Help Center through yelling at 3 supervisors.
Samsung unfortunately are not producing back cover replacements at this time. :/
However, I went to the AT&T store and spoke to the manager. He gave me a back cover from Focus that was returned to them and said they do that all time, try that. :]
I saw some back covers on sale on ebay for around $20
EBAY
Search on EBAY for "Samsung I917 Battery Cover" and you will find a vendor with used, refurbished and new covers ranging from $19.99 - $29.99.

Mine didn't come with a case ? I use Otterbox.
Mine came with a case, I think it's restricted to Europe or something like that. I wouldn't advise getting it, the material peels off and it starts to look awful. What's more, after a few months of very moderate use, it tore in two places (the thin parts near connectors and the power buttons). I got myself a Spigen and it's much better (apart from that the ir blaster is covered).
I'm in the UK but bought my M8 from Amazon Germany because it was cheaper, it came with a HTC branded, translucent grey, TPU case
I founded on amazon but went with a poetic instead
I'm not sure about you, but from where we came from, aliexpress is the way to go!
Hello
Does anyone know where I can buy real original spare parts?
I need a replacement for the Main Camera Module and a new Backcover.
I already ordered a Camera Module which should be original, but it wasn´t.
So I am looking for real original parts
Thanks

I think you can't find them anywhere. The only way to get them is by sending your phone back where you bought it and then they'll send it to LG. You can find spare parts for example on eBay but they will never be original.
Tell me if I'm wrong
rounded.com has quiet a few spare parts for our N5x
I bought my replacement screen, digitizer, and battery from Witrigs. $90 after shipping, took 2 weeks to get to Texas from China. worked great until last week when it decided it didnt like being 1 piece, and the screen cracked for no reason.

I just ordered a new back cover last week from here: https://www.fixez.com/store/lg/lg-google-nexus-5x
They don't specify if it is OEM or not, but the fit and finish is superb!
I was able to get a lens cover replacement for mine on Amazon.
It was $6 and cheaper than getting a whole new back plate. Installation was simple once I got the phone pried open.
In a nutshell I have this today:
It's my first day with my phone. I cannot use any case because in my country (Turkey) it's impossible to find any cases. I bought some but they will be delivered at least 1 month ago.
So is there any-where to find a replacement part for my back cover? I asked it to Oneplus itself but they told me that they don't sell spare parts. I looked into ebay but there's not any of it.
I know it's not a big thing but I have a big OCD problem. And it looks like a disaster to me.
ANy help will be appreciated.
I've seen many parts on eBay for OnePlus 3 but no replacement back cover yet. They have everything else though like front glass, vibration motor, battery, antenna, speaker, camera cable.

Ouch, I feel your pain dude.. I would suggest maybe covering it up with a skin for the time being and when they do start making replacement backings eventually, get one then..
two months ago, seen at Aliexpress, price was around 70$, but now item is not available. Just contact with CS and ask how much they will charge for back housing replacement at RMA.

Try one of these in the meanwhile. I'm sure you'll find a combination that suits your style!

Im sure trying to replace it on your own will cause more damage to the device because you can mess up adhesives, screen, other internals & etc
And when they say they dont sell parts it means you will endup with a cheaper manufactured backcover that is not even original. Just keep the device as it is those two dots shouldnt bother you
I'll bough 2 original cases. I think it will be ok when I get them.
By the way on the teardown videos of OnePLus 3 it looks pretty easy to remove the back cover. No adhesive or something. Just removing the bottom screws will do the job.
Man, i had the absolute same problem. When i unpacked my OP3, the charger fell out of the xox and hit the phone on the absolute same place on the bezel
I sold mine on ebay the other day and ordered a new one.
it's really simple to disassemble op3. two screws, and back cover is removed. no glue, ect.

That's kind of a funny comment as the OEM is a lower cost Chinese company.

I know I'm late here but how do you guys suggest it would be possible to produce fake back housings at the price they are charging for them? I mean how many people would realistically buy parts exclusively made for one device, and an oneplus 3 at that? A few thousand people at most? If this is the case I don't think it would be financially viable to make any sort of production line for these parts. Aside from stealing original ones from the factory, or mabye defective ones I don't see how they would produce such a limited quantity for so cheap unless they are originals? Any insight?
There are many options for the back cover. The back on my Oneplus 3 was damaged but not as bad as yours. I was planning to replace my back but all i had was a tiny scratch so it wasn't worth it. I will change it when my back is really messed up. When you search for the cover on ebay just search for battery cover You can tell most fakes as they don't have the oneplus logo and for a different colour, try to get one with the sim card tray. Try to get a cover near Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangdong that's where the Oneplus headquaters is. There's also a midnight black cover as well!

So my Nexus' battery has gotten deteriorated after so much usage. I used Accubattery to find out the rating and it showed 2500 mAh after a full charge, which I think is pretty bad. The problem is that there are is no Nexus market where I live. Even the local phone shops say they cant change it. So I was thinking about ordering the battery online and doing it myself. But sadly, the battery is internal and I have no experience whatsoever with electronics. Has anyone changed the battery themselves? What do you think I should do.
Pretty easy, if you buy a new one, don't buy a cheap replacement

Do you where i can find an original replacement online? Thanks (Dont know a lot about online ordering)
I guess eBay or Amazon, try to find a original one. May someone's here who already replaced one. I replaced it on my older phones, my nexus 6 battery is still good
I replaced mine a month ago. Not to difficult. The back cover is held on with double sided tape. Then 23 crazy small screws to remove. Thankfully they are all the same size. The 2 connectors to unclip from the main board and the mid frame hinges off from the top. The battery is glued onto the mid frame and the Qi charging coil is stuck on the battery. Carefully peel it off and put it on the new battery. Pay close attention to where you put it back as the connector end of the charging coil has to align with pads on the board. The replacement was bendable, and needed some tweaking to fit properly.
It took me about 45 minutes to complete.

Where did you purchase it from? I'm looking to replace mine too, but from the reviews I found many of them fail after a short period of time. Others lack reviews altogether. None of the Amazon listings look good to me and I don't know how legit the eBay ones are because it doesn't have reviews for specific products derived from specific sellers. The top two that seem the most legit to me are this eBay listing and Repairs Universe, from which I can't tell how legit it is.
Here's how mine held up today. I unplugged it at six this morning before I left for school and got home roughly an hour ago, so this is very close to not cutting it for me, especially on days where I'd have work in addition to school.
Got it on Amazon it was described as an OEM. Picked it out, screenshot to the GF, and it ended up under the Christmas tree.?

What battery did you end up getting? I see Repairs Universe... and Amazon as good places, but I don't want a bum battery.

I nearly stripped several screws using the larger Torx T4 driver recommended in this video instead of the T3 that fits these screws perfectly. I bought the replacement battery & T3 driver from eBay.
