Unhappy Memory Card And Sim Card Cover Broke.

Hi guys!

I am not that kind of guy who keeps opening the battery cover and memory card cover too often, but this time i had to open it to change the new SD card that i had bought. When i tried pulling the memory card cover, it was not coming out. After giving it a little extra pressure it opened up but to my shock it cracked a little in the middle...damn, how can the cover be so delicate ??? Now my memory card and Sim card cover is cracked right in the middle and might split into 2 anytime and it looks ugly too. My mobile is just 3 months old does this fall under warranty ..? *I really hope it does* If not where can i buy this. I am from India. Thanks

option 1 - http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trk...All-Categories

option 2 - beg your provider, as long as you still have it they should replace it. they know the battery door is hard to take off and replace those so why not the other cover.

Hi,

I would suggest contacting HTC. I broke my cover two times, and called them.
They made a support ticket for me. I uploaded 2 pictures of the covers and got a new one for free within 2 days.
This shouldn't be your fault. HTC made the covers far too tight. I hope this helps.

Edit: I see that you've already contacted your provider and/or htc.

Yes bro, i have managed to send them a mail from their website with a few pics. I got a reply from them asking me to get a replacement from the nearest service center. Thanks

Hey. I broke both my sim and battery cover on my dhd. I stupidly threw them away before contacting htc and they won't replace them without pics. Right now I'm holding my battery in with black tape. I would really appreciate someone sending me photos of their broken ones so I can use them to get mine replaced by htc uk. I hope someone can help.

Well i have spare battery and sim covers that i can sell if anyone is interested, Though my sim covers do have the orange logo on it that i've been told can be taken off with some soft water sanding.

If anyone wants one just send me a pm
