Ok guys just got my korean battery to comfirm i had to cut the tabs to make it work with the phone but the promblem is that you need to cut almost all the tabs on the side so the sides kind of bulge anyways i got it good enough to stay on and fit the phone correctly but now it wont fit in my Case-mate Tough case so the solution was to take the cover off the back of the phone and leave the 2000mah battery in..So theres no random reboots to confirm battery life seems excellent so far but i can t really say anything since ive only had it in the phone for a few hours.

Why exactly did the international one not fit you? Did the tabs not line up?

Ok, i put the battery in, then tried to put the cover on by starting with the bottom tabs, then the side tabs and then the top. Problem was one of the top corners would always pop out, if i applied enough pressure on that corner out would close but then the other corner would pop out. So that is why it does not fit. I compared the tabs from my original cover to the international version and i did not notice much of a difference, maybe the tabs were a bit longer or shorter on the international version, i really couldn't see what needed to be modified. Anyways i tried some cutting but it didn't work out. And trust me, i did buy the exact same kit that you mentioned.

The problem is in the bottom tabs I believe when you place the cover on it feels a bit stiff and prevents the cover from going down fully. This creates the tension in the back that prevents the cover from gong down in that area. Try shaving the two tabs on the bottom that go into the phone in the phone hump area. Hope this helps. When you compare the international cover notice how the bottom cover tabs are made below the cover while in the international it is coming from the middle of the cover.

Thanks for the tip but unfortunately i got frustrated and threw out both the international and Korean covers, just kept the batteries :)

I'm thinking on buying those ones i posted links to, maybe they will work out?

Test it out for us, please :p should probably press the seller if the cover really works for our phone. We know Korean and international don't work for us. If the seller is advertising any combo compatibility... it just seems too shady/unreliable

Well, if i buy one from Amazon and one from Ebay, I'm sure i can get back my $$ this time because both seller's actually mentioned "compatability i777". Then we will know for sure. I don't see anyone else stepping up to give it a try, i have no choice, i will be the one!

    It's better than how my 2 year old stock had become, but it isn't as good as stock was in the beginning. We discussed this over the last page and a half; take a look there for more info if you need it.

    That looks so nice. So to clarify, you are rocking the Korean NFC battery and the elusive perfect fit international cover, right? Where did you get your international kit seems to be the million dollar (or $40 dollar) question!
