Extended Battery Cover

---

Has anyone else noticed that the extended cover has much less copper in it. I put mine on last night so im not yet sure if it makes a difference with reception.

Yes. I have it on right now signal is great. I'm thinking the copper is inside the door rather than just on the surface off it

Have you noticed any worse/slower connections since you installed it?

haven't noticed any drop in reception so far with the extended battery, or squeaking. Will keep an eye out for it.

Also, did a side by side comparison in the verizon store of the nexus and my rezound and the rezound blew away the nexus in a speed test. Both were on 4g with full bars.

The door does squeak a bit. I have 2 external batt covers, and both do the same thing. The external cover has the same copper but the antenna isnt exposed like on the standard cover. I get equal reception with standard and the extended cover.

For me the squeak of the door is a non issue since I always keep the VZ extended battery holster case on the phone. Minus the holster half.

I cut a business card in half and placed it on top of the battery. It makes the cover just slightly tighter and does help with the squeaks/rattling.

Did you cut it to the size of the battery??

I have a case, so not an issue for me, but you can try some electrical tape where it creaks.
