Mine came in today and it's no surprise, battery cover doesn't fit. So I decided to remove the tape around the battery and trim the bottom part. It's a success, battery cover fits properly now. I just need an electric tape to cover the battery nicely. I just used regular tape a while ago. Lol.

Also the battery they sent me it is impossible to make work because if you put the battery in the slider that actually locks in the back plate cannot be pushed up all the way to snap in place. So unfortunately the battery is useless, unless you could somehow move the connectors to the opposite side of the battery.

Enjoy the pics!

to modify your battery....

, no disrespect, just a question but how do you know if yours hasnt arrived?

I looked at the pics on the last page and pulled the cover off my phone and studied it. If you look at yours you will see what I mean. Put the cover on your phone and look at the tabs at the bottom of the battery. The replacement door tabs are flat and do not mold around the bottom of the battery.

PS... Idk wtf is wrong with my camera, but I loled when I saw that I'm from the year 2218 lulz

Well it does fit...sorta

---

got mine for the Asian seller on Ebay.
both fit by themselves but not together. The battery top it too long so it is moved down about a 1/8th inch too far for the cover to fit. I will be getting a newer battery from them ( free of charge ) and this one is suppose to fit the I897 better than the I900 series battery. So worse case I am out 13 bucks until I can sell it again. Best case is I get what I wanted in the first place and have a I900 battery to sell.
Will post pics when is all said and done for others to see how it looks.

oh man so anxious to get mine
