flipped out the battery yesterday, getting the back cover off was no problem. but I can't get the damn thing on flush again!!

anybody have tips on how to do this? start with top, bottom, right, left side?

Its a bit tricky. I slide it down into the bottom first then work my way up on both sides. You have to force some in. Hopefully no tabs ever break.

Yeah, slide the curved bottom section down and into place first, then gently work your way up on each side. You can see the tabs and their slots as you do so, if you look closely.

I got plenty of practice yesterday, lol...

If you are not careful, you can bend the bottom tabs down (up?) against the back. Then they will not go under the strip on the phone like they are supposed to. (Don't ask). The fix was to carefully look at both tabs on the bottom, and carefully pry the one up that was the problem. It took a lot of force with my fingernail to get it up. But, once I pried it open, it seemed to work fine. I don't plan on taking it off much.

hmm this is not good, one of the main selling points to me is the removable battery so I never have to plug the thing in :'(

I wonder if the extended battery backs are better?
