When this happened to me, I ordered what I thought was another back:QCell Samsung Galaxy SIII Extended Battery TPU Case Black - Compatible with QCell, Hyperion & Yesoo Galaxy S3 Extended BatteryIt's made by QCell, but it's actually a rubberized case. At first I used that to cover and support the cracked case. Then I remembered I still had the white cover, so I've used that instead. But I still use the case as extra protection. I've noticed in general phone backs seem really flimsy these days; I always fear I'm going to do it harm when I remove it.BTW, I still love this battery; it was a great value.

Sorry, but I do not have any longer life thicker batteries to check for you. The thickness should not make a difference since there is no cover on the unit and I would think as long as the contact point on the battery was in the normal position it should work with no problem.

I have not seen the covers being available anywhere online or by any supplier. If your covers are corroded, split, or broken, the only fix is to replace the switch. I recommend replacing both switches with new ones because eventually the plastic covers will continue to degrade and will be unusable. If you find any in the salvage yards, they will most likely be hard and brittle and will eventually fail. R. Black

Just pull it apart, like how you would to put battery in. Further than that I don't know, sorry. You may want to contact seller or company for replacement. They shouldn't fall apart from dropping I don't think. ?

Both battery covers should just slide right off. One of the covers on my set is actually slightly loose for my preference.

Hello Mark, I did get the battery and it worked well with extending the talk and idle time without re-charging. I did however have trouble with placing the cover on my phone. I could not seem to get it to totally close. I tried to get used to it but I have taken the battery out of my phone and put in the original battery and cover back on. Check and see if they have made an improvement to the cover for a better fit.

Twist off the top plastic cover and take out the old battery. Replace it with new and put cover back on

There is a section below the key pad. Take a flat bladed screwdriver and use it to slide the cover down to get access to the 9volt battery. Replace and your set to go.

Mine was half in, half out, as well - on each of the 4 that I bought. So I removed each battery cover and had to both unscrew one end and push from the other end to get each screw out. Now, I dont bother with the screws, since they arent necessary to keep the cover on.

The battery cover is screwed in. It is closed with a single small screw and you would need a small screwdriver to open/close it.

yea, stick a tiny piece of folded paper or very thin cardboard under the clip that holds the battery down without obstructing the connection for power, and it wont do it anymore. It's just the battery getting knocked around.

It will when I replace the battery the cover broke because the battery was swelle

The battery automatically comes with the TPU case. There's no way to buy it separately. You need that case because the battery is so large that your original back panel will not fit anymore.

We can get the battery snapped in but there is a white plastic piece on the lid that won't allow it to close. Are we supposed to break it off?

No. They provide a plastic cover that replaces the metal cover. The battery works great, solved all of my power issues. The cover is a bit flimsy. It works okay for me, because I normally have my phone in a belt case when I'm not using it. When using it, you're hand naturally adjusts around it anyway, so you don;t notice it that much. Love the battery and performance, not so crazy about the flimsy cover (but a trade-off I'm willing to live with for the performance). Hope it helps,

I purchased a replacement battery and they have changed the battery posts - so it is not easy. I had to solder the new battery in place.The new battery has slip on posts and the old one was attached with a small screw and nut. Bah Humbug....

I've never had a problem; it's easy to remove and replace the battery cover. I supposed if it's dropped it would break.
