Default Not perfect

Guys, I bought one from eBay and right after shipment the seller told me that there are two versions of the casing. I tried it this afternoon and it's not a perfect fit.

A slight difference in the case near the volume rockers causes the case to have a bulge. There is also one more note; my old battery cover and 2000mah Samsung extended battery cover does not fit with the new casing. The alignment was simply off.

Is it possible you could post a pic so other buyers are aware of what not to buy

Sorry, I've already packed it in an envelope. Besides, it's near impossible to tell until you try it out. Is your screen perfectly flushed with the new casing?

Some people might not mind the less than stellar fit but I use a 2000mah battery and the case doesn't accept the special battery cover.

Default bad housing!

Hi guys,

Just want to share a bad experience with a rear housing from a ebay seller named cellphone_parts. The item is here.http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1329787627

The problem is that there are some small parts are missing in the housing I got from them.

the top is from cellphone_parts, do you see the problem?

Maybe they don't have to be OEM but at least seller should sell what they post on ebay. The one I got doesn't match the pictures on the their ebay item.

So, I ordered one from Link2 in OP and it doesn't fit mine. This is the one that has bulge near the volume rockers. And another difference is showed in the picture. Basically, I can't fully push down the body into the housing on the volume buttons side.
