Replacement battery cover?

So I was a little too rough taking off the back cover and I guess I warped it or something... Whenever I apply pressure to the back of the phone (like when you grab it) it creaks and squeaks... and it's really bothering the **** out of me
I tried searching but I just can't find any... Anyone know where I can get a replacement?

It says out of stock now buy they had them a couple days ago. Also, you have to order at least 5. http://www.globaldirectparts.com/LG-Star-P990-Optimus-2X-Battery-Door-p/lg970940.htm

Saw that one... It's the wrong color though

I'm pretty sure that's the right color. Keep in mind that's a garbage quality picture of it and the metal piece has protective plastic over it.

HTC Sensation problem?

Okay this is really not big deal, but just though I'd tell you guys and ask y'all have the same thing on your sesation phone
When I press the screen hard, but not like its going to damage the screen, when I do, the screen or the back cover casing don't seem to be tight enough that its like loose.
Anyone here has this going on their sensation?

Why would you want to press the screen hard?

It's not even that. I know what he's talking about. Say you hold the phone and squeeze it slightly, it'll have a little give to it & will creak. Mine does the same thing. It's my only annoyance with the phone.

that's about the only thing that'll work. My guess is the extra room is there in case the battery expands for some odd reason. I just block it out of my mind & scream LALALLALALALALALA when it happens.

They made the battery cover just a little higher than the battery because after years of using your phone and charging your battery, the battery begins to expand. Its to accommodate the expansion of the battery after a year or so of using your phone. Be happy to hear it!

Are you sure? It would have to expand quite a bit.
I've put a piece of paper in mine for now, fixes the problem nicely and doesn't affect signal or wifi strength (I was worried it might).
It's a bit ridiculous but I rarely remove the back.

I have it too, not too concerned about it or anything though.

You can leave the paper in it for now, but ever 4-5 months or so, pull out the battery and spin it on a flat surface, if it spins, your battery is swelling, which usually comes with age. I'd say after about 1 1/2 years you can buy a new battery if you really need to, but for now, your good!

I'll keep that in mind for the future then, interesting.

Yup I have the issue also. Actually after reading this thread, I wouldn't say its an issue but perhaps a manufacture glitch. Guess we just have to deal with it.

Had this issue with my sensation. When I pressed the bottom right of the screen it creaked and clicked like there was a gap or the battery cover wasn't on the whole way. Funny thing was this started a couple days after having the phone and didn't do this at first. Just exchanged today and new one has no probs atm

Actually for me, the only creaking sound I hear is when I press the buttons on the bottom, especially the home button. But I have to press it kinda hard and towards the bottom left.

update us in a week if it comes back. Mine started out fine & now has the creaking

I have the black gel skin on mine and I don't have any creaking. That's an option too if you like gel skins. I have to have one. Too worried I'll drop this gorgeous phone.

In response to the drop test video here's another

starts around 1:00

That is one tough phone. I ordered a few thin cases for the phone but since seeing these videos they are probably not necessary. A case would ruin a beautiful phone.
The camera is recessed in the North American version about a mm into the case . Just be vigilant where you set the phone down. I am thinking no case is needed for this phone.

No case or screen protector for me

that's impressive...I wouldn't try it with my iJunk

How do we know he isnt saying that he superglued it together before the terst?

He didnt...dont you speak Thai?

LOL!
Just be warned that if it hits the screen the right way, your screen is dead. I'm using a tpu case with a lip to protect the screen a bit. I'd be fine without the case though...

I am still trying to think what the screen reminds me of. The bubbled out effect.
Its like an old product....

omg lol that's the first time i've watched one of these and cringed. that is one tough phone!

[Q] Plastic ring around the camera

The plastic ring around the camera is making a creaking noise. My first one had the same issue along with creaky ear piece grill. So I exchanged it and amazon sent me a second one. After a while the second phone seems to have the same issue.
Just wondering how everybody else's phones are holding up. It's really annoying sometimes and I really don't want to exchange this for a third piece and then slowly have the same issue on that one too.

First of all I think the ring is aluminum. Also the way the device has been manufactured, it will have some creaks. Still a very sturdy phone. If you'd like, you can take it apart and reglue it back together with gorilla glue and it may solve the creaks

Please don't use gorilla glue on your phone... It foams up brown.

Nominating this for the "Worst idea ever" category.

I'm still trying to figure out how the creeking was discovered. I've never even touched that ring.
Edit: until now

TBH, my phone hasn't come out of the case and screen protector since inside the AT&T store when I bought it on launch day. So even if there was creaking, I wouldn't notice it through my case.

I just pushed on my ring and can get it to make a slight clicking sound. How did you come to notice this? Mine is barely audible.

I refuse to check and see if my ring is creaky. Not gonna do it.

Son of Clicky!
This phone literally snaps into the plastic unibody. I'm not going to worry about the noises. (I hope)

Mine has the same issue with the creaking noise along the very top of the ring. I've considered the opposite of glue: a drop of gun lube along the edge so i don't hear it anymore. I just haven't been bothered enough to try it.

Spigen Neo Hybrid Case cracks at the usb

I have the say it is the best looking case out for the GS4 but the main issue is the case will crack at the usb area. Top first then bottom. The area is thin. If they reinforce it some how this would last longer then 2 months. I have never dropped my phone and once on my phone it never came off until it now. Am I the only one?

Nope. You're not the only one with quality issues on your NeoHybrid.
Mine had paint chips which appeared from nowhere.
Seems like there are some serious durability issues with the NeoHybrid case.

My GSII NeoHybrid bumper case took a beating and kept going with so much abuse. I have to say design is 10 durability is a 2!

Running commando now that mine cracked at both sides of the headphone jack.

Yeah, my neo hybrid for the SGS2 last a long long time too. Not sure why for the SGS4 it crapped out on my so fast.

I hope people know about the short comings of the case even if it looks like one of the best cases. I wish they reinforced the area or used the same materials like the GSII case!

I had the same issue. I contacted them thru email and they were pretty fast to respond. They ask me to send a pic of the damage then they sent me a new one and it only took 3 days to get here. Looks like they're aware of the issues because the new one i received is a bit different, the usb insert part is actually a bit thicker and less likely to bend and breaks.

I got mine as a gift so I doubt they will send me a replacement. It is a official sgp item. What about the top headphone jack, is the area thicker?

Mine cracked too.. I took two pictures, sent them in to Spigen support, an never heard a word. Went out and bought another brand that won't crack.

Same here. Paint chips from light use. My case has never been mishandled and the paint chips. I have a red one.
I got so pissed off that I sprayed a clear coat on it lol. That did the trick. But for a $30 case it's very poor quality.

Can you post pictures of the new case and the areas the we are talking about?

Anyone have images of the new bumper if the top and bottom is reinforced?

just ordered a satin silver band from amazon, hopefully it's the updated band but if not I ain't too worried about it

Mine also broke at usb and I've never dropped or remove case, its just to thin there. They need to make it aluminum!

Heres the pic of the new one they sent me.. Notice tge difference?
I made a mistake saying is a bit thicker.. It looks the same but the new one with a lip seems sturdy when i try bending it.
As for the one asking for the headset, its the same.
I know the quality of the frame sucks but I do love this case...I always get a compliment how nice my phone is.
