Back falls off easy...

[New2u]

*FOUND OUT* what the problem was with this, if you slide off the back cover and look at the letters on one side it appears they read "Motorola Engineering". PROBLEM SOLVED!

LMAO

So true! But I have the same issue and my pants are NOT tight. A case should solve this issue. Im personally waiting to see what Seidio comes out with.

Lol, yep i read this problem and didn't notice for the first few hours but now my back has fallen off through general use about 4 times in 2 days (albeit i dont think i've put it dow for much of that 2 days).

This is a design issue and something motorola will need to address with a retrofit for affected handsets. so far my back hasn't been damaged when coming off but only a matter of time.

Take it to you local Verizon store. Make them fix or replace it.

Motorola has issue a service bulletin and repair kit that is available at all retailers for this issue.

I have heard numerous complaints about the back falling of easily, funny thing is, I CAN'T GET MINE
OFF at all. Not that I should be pulling it off all the time, just sayin.

Looks like I'm not the only one...here's my back cover story. Against my better judgement, I bought the case/beltclip that the droid snaps into, with the back exposed. Normally I go for one with a little more enclosure, but the cute girl at the verizon store kept pushing it...fine. Bought the phone on Friday, and by Saturday afternoon when I pulled the phone out of the case I noticed the back had fallen off already. I had spent the day so far outside at work, and finding it proved to be an impossible task. On the way home from work, I stopped by the verizon store where they said they would gladly provide a new one, although they were out of stock, and instructed me to call #611. I got home and gave them a call, only to be informed that if the store had made contact to them to confirm that there was an issue with the phone then they would gladly replace the phone, but could do nothing since the store did not call. I explained quite clearly that there was nothing wrong with the phone itself, and I did not want to go through the trouble of getting a completely new phone, as it only needed a replacement back piece. The agent said that this was not a problem, and then promptly informed me that the cost would be $4.99. After trying to no avail to explain the ridiculousness of charging any amount of money for this piece, when they would even replace the entire phone fell on deaf ears. Only requesting to speak to the supervisor did the trick, and they have agreed to mail one out which should arrive tomorrow or wednesday. Ugh! On the bright side, the battery does not just fall out without the back cover, and I've had it in my pocket since!

Ok, so first night I have the thing, I go out with my friends and a few hours into the night I notice the back is missing!! Freaking out I retraced my steps...turns out it fell off before I even left the house.

Now here's where the idea came from:

So with my Chocolate 2 (I had 9 and used the same method each time) the damn thing kept squeaking because the battery never fit snugly enough into the phone, so everytime I would text, it would sound like a creaky wooden floor. This really pissed me off...SOLUTION? Sticky Tack. or Rubber Gum Art Erasers. Pinched off a few tiny pieces, strategically placed them between the battery and the phone and VOILA! Snug and no squeaks.

DROID battery cover slipping off? Not anymore! Just placed some ever-so-tiny pieces between the battery and the cover and that som***** doesn't move.

Stuff is like 2 bux at an art store.....and im sure you can find many of other uses for it!!! I know i have!!

I was wondering if something there to make it fit tighter might keep it from coming unlatched. The problem with that is.......we shouldnt have to do that . This is supposed to be a high end phone, the battery cover should not fall off.
