Did the hole in mine awhile back and now I am waiting on my Seidio case to come in to drill a hole in that. I used a Mill (with CNC) to drillout the hole. Using tape is a very good idea.

Very good job.

I could use this definitely....I'm reflashing my phone like a mad man. I !!!hate!!! taking that battery cover off to hit the reset button after flashing from my SD card.

I just did this little mod this morning & I wish I'd have done it sooner. This will save me money on cases. I always use snap cases to protect my phone & it is a huge PITA to get them off whenever I have a lockup. I have to use a credit card to loosen the back, & after so many removals the little tabs break off & I have to buy a new one. So I used a Dremel & freehanded 2 holes, 1 through the battery cover & one through the snap case, And it turned out great! I was kind of afraid it'd look bad but it's barely noticeable. Thanks for the idea, OP.

I use a snap case too and hate how hard it is to remove. my tp2(sprint) locked up the other day so I started hitting a bunch of buttons and somehow it restarted. don't know which combo worked though

What are you protecting your phone from?
Bullets? Radioactive fallout?
Sheesh... That's not a TP2 That's a Tank.
lol.
Great work with the hole drillin and the lining up of the holes.

I'm protecting it from MYSELF lol... Look up 'butterfingers' in the dictionary & you'll see my picture. I have probably dropped it no less than 10 times in the past month. The case does make it a bit bigger, which I actually like. One of my biggest gripes with the TP1 was the size, they keep making these damn things smaller & I hate that. Give me a tank over a phone I have to squint at any day

When I had the TP from Sprint... I used a similar case... (Bodyglove) I liked it... but It just was way too big for my pant's pockets.
I guess if I had a purse or one of those European man bags... lol.
I know... I'll singlehandedly bring back the fannypack.
lol.
I like the stars on your case though.
