Put a piece of jar opener on the back of the back cover. Press with both thumbs and slide out.

I have an iPhone 4 - I'm not sure about any model numbers or whether its locked or unlocked. The back cover comes with a screw driver for the tiny screws that hold the back cover on. I just removed the screws, took off the broken back cover, put the new back cover on and replaced the screws. Easy.

Take the back cover off your phone, take the old battery out (watch and see how it comes out) then install the new battery the same way, replace cover, you're done.

I didn't have to remove (or do anything) to the protective casings. I can only suggest you recheck what you're trying to connect to what. Here's a video about replacing the Verizon battery which may help give you a visual. The OEM battery in the video is a bit different but the close ups (at about 3:30 in, near the end) might help. Feel free to ask a follow-up if I misunderstood or the problem persists. Good luck!

I am sorry, I had the same problem. I ended up throwing it away and ordering a new one! I did not see any way to open it and replace a battery.

There are two small screws at the bottom of the phone. Remove them and the back will just slid off

The back on mine is a rubber cover, push it down or up, I do not have it in hand now, and then the door should just swing open exposing the battery and the sd card slot as well as a setting switch for HI/LO

You need to take off the belt clip by pressing the tab and pull it downward. Use your thumb and push down the battery cover.

I also have trouble getting the battery cover open. It works best if you pull up at the notch on top with you finger nail while pushing up on the cover.

No. The battery is thicker than the normal battery. So you will not be able to fit the original back cover.

I attempted to find a back cover as well, but I couldn't find one. I really wanted to keep using my otterbox case so I ended up cutting a hole in my original back cover and the rubber portion of my case. By doing so I was able to fit the hard shell (of my otterbox case) back on and that holds the battery in place and I now have the protection of my original case.

There are four tiny Philips head screws on the back. It's likely that removing them will get you access to the battery. I don't know how easy it is after that and I don't know if removing the back will void the warranty.

I assume you have the correct Sony battery in the left earphone and it is seated properly. I also assume when you removed the battery cover you depressed the push button on the circumference of the left earphone. This releases the cover catch for the cover. Now, to install the removed cover, position the left earphone to it's home position in the earphone support. Insert the large cover tab into the #1 hole and press the cover up. Now insert the smaller tab into the #2 hole and press the cover against the earphone. Now, the cover is on and secure. Good luck, Bob

I was stumped too at first. The battery cover is under the handle. Just lift it a bit and you'll see the edges of the battery cover. I remember it sliding off, although it's been a while.

The case is a bit difficult to put on because it fits so tight on phone. I feel that it does a great job keeping the phone dust free. Taking it off would seem to be harder. I will cross that path when I have replace the battery I suppose. I think the buttons work grest. Are you sure the sides have snapped into place as designed?

It's a little tricky :) Turn it over and you have the black back cover with the big "B" on it. If you look at the edges you will see two small triangles along the sides. If you push down on the back and spin the whole back cover in the direction of the arrows (not even a quarter of a turn), the back will simply pop off and you'll see the battery compartment. Hope this helps...or write back if you can't get it. --CC

Because as great as the battery is, the case is flawed. It's literally too tight, especially around the buttons. Take the black part off and just have the blue piece on. I'll bet it does not do it then. What I did was on the other side, I clipped the black part of the case around the power button so that it is no longer surrounded by the black part on the volume button. Notice it will make the case much easier to go on, but still grips the phone very nicely. At the power button where you are having the problem, take a dremel or a small file and enlarge that hole a little bit. That should help also. I did both and now have no complaints whatsoever.
