Accessories 2 minute fix to get the stock door on more comfortably.

See those black tabs that slot into the phone just before the hump? Cut them off. If you compare them on both covers, the extended has a different size to it. allowing it to fit this extra space without squeezing in lets the door fit over the bigger battery. I used an exacto knife and they sliced right off.

No bulge, no bent door, and a ton less(but not completely gone) stress on the lcd screen. I'm assuming that if you trim on the inside of the feet of the door, it will allow it to sit slightly higher and fit on perfectly.

Hope this tip helps a bit for some people

I can get my original battery cover on just fine without cutting it at all. Slips right on, no forcing needed. Once it is on, there is no pressure at all.
