The battery is not fitting properly, I am having to press it hard into the phone to make it fit. Is this how it is supposed to be done?

Mine is a tight fit as well. Perhaps yours are built a little on the large side, but for me, it is better than the oem batterry that falls right out. My two batteries do fit easier than the zerolemon extended battery. That one has to go in a certain way and takes some added effort.

I don't think so. The ones I bought for my Optimus G Pro E980 work and fit perfectly.

Andrew, mine was so tight it shut the phone down, by keeping the on / off button pressed. I actually worried about damaging my new phone, trying to get it out, after I wedged it in there. I sent it back.

The case is a bit difficult to put on because it fits so tight on phone. I feel that it does a great job keeping the phone dust free. Taking it off would seem to be harder. I will cross that path when I have replace the battery I suppose. I think the buttons work grest. Are you sure the sides have snapped into place as designed?

I have the extended battery on my phone I am just not happy with how it fits. My son and daughter have Otterboxes on their phones and they just fit better.Don't slip off the phone as mine does on occasion. I feel it should have been a tighter fit on the phone.

The battery fits perfectly, however, it is not holding it's charge. What should I do?

I had to use a knife to cut out some of the plastic on the interior of the shell to get it to fit together properly. If the shell doesn't snap into place, you may not be making contact between the push buttons and the mechanism inside the shell.

The battery works but the back cover does not fit out-of-box. The clip spacings are different. I managed to get the back cover on somewhat securely (meaning, it'll stay on if I don't try to remove it) by shaving some of the clips with a razor.

The standard case or covers for the phone wont fit as securely as without the new battery door. I had to use a silicone case that stretched and it still was kind of loose.

The battery fits best if you slide it into the charger from the side vs. trying to place it in as you would do with your phone. The batteries do seem a bit large, but they will fit. Make sure the metal contacts in the charger are touching those on the battery. In my case, it means the front side of the battery is facing the rear of the charger. But this doesn't matter; if the metal contacts are touching, the charger will light up once it's plugged into the wall with a purple/pink light. Battery is charged when the light turns blue. Good luck.

As it turned out, the phone still did not work after changing the battery. We checked it in another phone and there is nothing wrong with the battery so the phone is no good. I don't know if the battery will fit your phone. We bought another battery before this purchase and although the description said it would work, it did not.

I have found that the phone fits into the case very snuggly but it is possible when sliding the phone down into the case that you can push too hard and have the phone begin to slide through the case and out the bottom. I've only done that a couple of times so i am careful when putting the phone back in the case. I haven't had any problems after i figured that out. I am not sure that this is exactly an OEM case. I bought my first case from Verizon $$, and it seemed to fit better than this one but the belt clip broke and could not fix. Ordered this one because of the price and it seems to work just fine. It holds the phone tightly enough and no problems. I am happy with it, especially at this price.

Since your battery size is listed, could it be that you are expecting a tighter fit or that the battery was upside down? If neither is the case, I would contact STK, as they are very accommodating and helpful

I agree. Send it back. Mine has been perfect. Changed the battery once and it works great.

For everyone here who can't get it to fit, it may be defective and you should email the seller. If that's not an option, I personally pried the charger part apart and snapped off two little hinges that were getting in the way of the side buttons. Snapped it back together and works perfectly now.

2 questions:Is it fully charged? If so...Is your phone sliding easily into the case or is it a difficult fit? If it isn't then it may not be connecting correctly to the charger.

I had the same problem with the volume. The case is too tight for the phone to fit in without it pressing on the buttons when you put it together. I didn't want to take the chance of breaking the buttons so I returned mine.

I have not encountered this problem with the battery I received. It fit in perfectly as it should, and produced no bulge or unnecessary stress when applying the back cover on to the phone. It's possible you may have received a faulty battery, as that is the exact thing that happened to my old droid 2 when I pulled the battery from within. For whatever reason, possibly due to it extreme use or sensitivity, something happened within the battery and caused it to grow in thickness. Placing the back cover onto that specific phone caused a bulge and questionable stress.
