The build quality of this device is outstanding, but one minor issue I have is with the back cover. If you push in around the middle part there's a little "click" and it gives a little as if it may not be snapped on correctly although it is.
Does anyone else have this issue or is something funky going on with my back cover?
Smells fishy

Can't say mine does it. Can you elaborate on exactly where your click sound is coming from?

The title says it all. I left my phone on the counter for an hour and when I came back it was on the floor with the back completely off. It was a frightening moment . But I was able to snap it back on.

i wasn't able to take a picture. i was panicking and tried to fix it as soon as possible
Not a good sign for Build quality... what was underneath?
See any test points?

My concern is the missing 5 screws that hold your backing plate on. I've removed mine already...first day. If your backplate just fell off, your have serious warranty and build issues. I posted a thread in the general section with pictures.

Yeah, screws just don't generally fall out, esp with covers on and the top and bottom guards on.

Screws? Hhmmm I didn't see any but I already replaced the phone with a new one and this one does have screws I guess the other one was strangelydefective

Hey there, I currently have the white S3 and I'm wondering if anyone knows where to get a transparent back cover to replace the white one that came with it. That would be awesome.
No idea but yeah, it would be awesome XD

If you want a transparent back cover, why not just give up adding a cover, I think cover is made for showing individuality

Ya'. That would be totally awesome!! That's what I did with mine. The battery falls out 20 times a day, but who cares!?
Jesus. Read the ****ing thread!!

HE is from Cleveland, English is like a second language there, so give him a break. how is he supposed to know the difference between back cover, and.. whatever he thought the rest of us are talking about?
you can use the samsung ultra slim covers just without the battery door of the phone, works well. tried it right now.
Closest thing I could find.

It isn't completely transparent, though. Just the outside edges.
You guys are hilarious!
Its a shame that there isnt anything like this. It would look so cool!

I fully agree.
well, there is the one guy that made silicone molds of his back cover, and then made a real CF one... perhaps he can be perswaded to use his molds to make clear ones from some other material?
I think it would look cool but it would also get severely dirty and/or yellow

Really? Link to thread if there is one? I'd definitely be interested in getting in touch with him. I'm sure others would be too.

Well I already fear that my original white back cover will gain that effect anyway, not too worried about a transparent one doing that.
I have a smoke coloured TPU case that looks pretty good. The picked it up on Amazon for 7$ish

1. buy this
2. take off stock backplate
3. put this on
the case is ok.. hard plastic will probably get scratched after a while.

so.. protection AND clearness? perfect for anyone that doesn't want to use an aluminum bumper.
and at that price, who cares if it yellows over time.. buy another.
That is a good idea! Does it fit tightly?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
yeah it works just as well.. those cases use the sides of the phone to hold the phone so.. shouldnt be any difference

worst case scenario: ad a LITTLE heat (like a tiny bit at a time) just to soften a tiny bit, and then push it closer to the battery. not too much, so you don't melt anything.
here my, it's a Box Wave case with no back cover. i don't use it much cause the power button is to stiff and the side grip feel like sh*t
I remember back in the day, those clear candy bar shape phones with the flashing lights inside was all the rage lol .. these phones just dont look as cool inside lol
I have heard if people having a loose power button, but nothing of a loose and rattling volume one. I can hear it move whenever I move the phone from a flat surface or whenever I tap on the top of the screen. Should I get a replacement? On an of topic thing I just removed my screen peotector and live the feel without it do I really need it as long as im careful? I have the ballistic case on with a naked screen. Thanks!

As a rule, if there's a hardware defect (not of your doing), use the warranty exchange. Your under contract for this device. It should work. Just my opinion.
Well I just replaced the device yesterday cause my camera had a spot under the lense lol. I think I just have bad luck with phone haha.

Keep taking it back until its perfect, that's my advice.
Well, thats the idea.

can you put a picture to show this thing ? we will be able to tel you if there is no problem.
i dont want to take apart it again bcuz im afraid it will get scratch
it just like that u forget a piece of plastic inside the phone, and will it cause battery heat increase?
sr my english is not so good.....
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
i think you are talking about the adhesive just under the battery,it is there only to fix the battery to the cover, you can use your phone like that, i don't think this will bring any problem
dont worry it will do just fine
thank you for your answer

mine was the same a quarter on top and half on bottom took it back to store and got a new phone opened it up and was the same
if you hold the phone to the right you can see there are not blocked
hope that helps a bit
Yeah that's what I was afraid of that it was just a common issue...maybe I'll go by and look at the display for comparison...

Mine is the same. By same, I mean EXACTLY the same, with the exact same holes blocked and unblocked. I'm not concerned though. it still sound fine. Maybe this is normal?
Yeah I never remembered it I've owned 3 M 7 over the past year and never saw that before. I may still exchange it because I notice there's some lag and my bottom buttons aren't very responsive
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using xda app-developers app
The speaker is only under a part of the cover.
Check the ifixit tear down.
The other "unblocked" holes are the mic {on bottom) and notification led (on top}.

Well this is because it's NOT a defect, it's made that way, speaker is only under the left side of the grill, on right are other components underneath, so it looks blocked, it's not. :fingers-crossed:

For sure. The speakers are only half the length of the grill, if that. Hah nvm pics have been posted
Yeah thanks guys...yeah even on a video review said those holes are just there to make the speaker openings symmetrical looking...

Thanks for this thread. I had visited my local Verizon store this weekend and asked them about the "blocked" speaker holes and of course they had no clue. But their demo looked just like mine, and just like all the pics posted here. This saved me a call to cust service (which probably would have gone nowhere anyways, lol).
