So, does the speaker have better quality or is it louder?

its hardly noticable to me, to be honest.

To me it seems a lot louder. I notice it more when the speaker is facing down (against a surface).

Using a blow dryer makes it a breeze to get off. When your done add a little piece of black electric tape to the upper part of the battery to fix the mute button and or sound of the button when holding, or just pushing it to hear the sound, like i did.

i never had any problems with the mute button or speaker after removing, i tried it just now to be certain. what exactly happened with yours?

The mute button becomes more sensitive after you remove the orange backing. I posted a fix in my initial post that I had already posted in another thread. Personally it does not bother me at all since the mute button only works when it's in speakerphone mode.

As an added bonus though, it does hold the battery in securely!

Good idea Savage- Added the comment to my video & the first page instructions!

whats the benefits on removing the cover ?

-No more orange
-Increased speaker volume
-Increased ventilation (limited benefit)
