sorry bout the pic quality-
 
I did this using a pocket knife. My primary motive was to have a bumper with the 3800 battery attached. It worked but feels very loose without the back making it taut. I used a Diztronic.
 
Wow, I did the exact same thing in dropping my phone. It was the first time I have ever dropped a phone on something that would damage it. I got a scrap just like yours but on the top left corner.

Nice mod...

I also did that and it did feel very loose. I threw the case away
