I had a fedex delivery attempt yesterday but nobody was home. I am assuming it was the doors, cant wait to get rid of the loose POS that's on there now.
Got my doors last night. At first i thought it was my wife's Amazon order since they came in such a large box.
Definitely a little more snug than the stock door. Only going to use the one. If a loose battery door continues to be an issue then I'll go back to using my case, (I like the Droid w/o the case right now). So did I need 3? No.....ordered 3 because I could. Didn't realize it was going to cause a commotion. If anybody wants one of the 2 spares send me a PM with your name and address. I'll drop em' in the mail next time I'm at the post office. I got something for free....no reason I can't reciprocate.
WOW!! I thought these doors were something new and cool for your Droid. I got all excited for nothing. But yeah check out ebay. Their selling these "Free" doors for like fifteen dollars lol. GENIUS!!

Hello all. I also got a new battery door, but I got it in a different way that seems to be less hassle free from what people are posting here. I didn't bother to go through verizon. I simply went to the contact section on the Motorola webpage. I explained that as much as I love my Droid, I can't stand the battery door problem, but I had been told they could help. Four business days later, I'm holding an improved door in my hands, 100% free of charge and free of hassle. I HIGHLY recommend this way.
Now on to the door itself.
It's the same thing as the original door, except the padding in the middle is slightly larger, and for whatever reason that helps a ton. That's all you need to know lol.
Thanks for the tip! Sent Motorola an email yesterday and they're shipping me a new door via FedEx 2-Day Delivery.
I got my doors yesterday and HOLY GIANT BOX! Seriously what idiot packed these things. Anyway the new one fits better for sure.

Got mine yesterday, installed one today even though my orig had only come loose 3 or 4 times. I note that the part number is different, maybe there is some small difference?
Device(s): Moto Droid AdamZ enhanced v5.0.1 tweak'd and OC'd
Thanks: 3
Thanked 2 Times in 2 Posts
i would say i got mine today but stupid FedEx didn't know how to get inside the apartment complex so i had to waste 1hr of my life to pick up my free battery door.
If anyone has an extra they wouldnt mind getting rid of I'll paypal for the shipping or whatever cost. My friend lost his and stole mine....long story.
Please PM me.

Hmm my door fitted perfectly on my first droid.. my replacement, which cane without a door (i was told to use door of old droid), is loose and has come off twice in my pocket.
Does anyone have a spare they can send me, I'll gladly pay for shipping, or I can send a SAE perhaps?.. I get the feeling this one i have will fall off someday soon.. eep

Yeah, I tried that, too. They told me I had to "obtain a warranty replacement" to do so. Is this what you had to do?

Since I have spares, I have leftover vinyl that I'm using to "decorate" the doors while keeping one stock. One is a gloss black. One is carbon fiber. Whatever I'm in the mood for I can also experiment with hinge fixes if one is loose, but my original door fits just fine.

Not at all. I said how every Motorola I've owned has always been reliable and flawless and my Droid would be too except for the loose battery door. I went on to tell them that I read on a forum that there was a new and improved door. I got an email the next day saying they were sending me a new door.
