my phone locked up yesterday and i had to pull the batter to get it to come back on

When putting the battery cover back on i used my thumb to try to slide it into position from the bottom of the battery cover.

I pushed a little too hard and put my thumb threw the speaker grill and now i have a tear in it i thought this was metal like the rest of the phone but i guess it is just paper.

Bummer

 

that is sad when you compare it with materials used for the rest of the phone

 

lol, you and i think alike.

it is just a piece of paper that is glued on.. it cant be that hard to manufacture something that is of better quality and different colors. I would be willing to buy one just to get rid of the gold. i would like a black one to match the phone

 

i have the droid

i know the htc' use fabric but i think the droids use paper or some type of thin plastic. depressing when the rest of the phone is metal and glass.

 

np..

it is extremely easy to do. the gap underneath the speaker grill is about the size of a thumb tip which allows your thumb to easily puncture a whole in it or tear it. It is centered but maybe just off to the right hand side just a little bit so if you push on the botton of the cover to slide it up be careful. It seems like there should be some more support underneath the paper.
