Re: A $1.48 goes a long way... Black Battery Cover!

Here are some pics of the cases I tried modding. The silicone case on the left is the one I tried dyeing. As you can see it is a little darker, but not quite black. The case on the right is in its original color. The other picture is of the clear plastic case that comes with the silicone case. As stated it is too tight and sometimes you can't press the hard keys Home, Back, Send, End. So I cut out the middle bar that goes across the screen and filed it down for a smoother finish.

I like the silicone case though for two reasons, it is easier to take off in the case that I have to remove the batt cover and the volume buttons and power button is easier to press because it sticks out rather than flushed stock or with the plastic case it is under.

I know there are other black silicone skins you can buy but I like this one, the ridges on the side make it easier to grip and aesthetically pleasing to me. Thanks for any ideas.
