Might help someone...are any of you using a micro SIM created by yourself (from a regular SIM)?
I also had a problem with bad fit of the back cover. In my case it was caused by my own stupidity not trimming down the height of the SIM enough which made it impossible for the back cover to make a perfect fit. Took me a couple of minutes before I realized it...
Mine perfect too!
mine is good 2
case loose for me right near the camera button too, sad face :/
Perfect fit here.
But what do you mean by loose, does it move ?
or is there a inimini tiny gap between the top and the cover.

Hey guys,
I wrote this in the Q&A section and I think this could be interesting for some of you..
If your bottom cover is broken or makes some stupid noises you can simply replace it.. You can buy replacement covers at ebay and also other sites, for example:
http://sparepart.dk/en/sony-sony-ericsson-1629/sony-xperia-s-100338/spare-parts-100339/
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Bu...T26i-SO-02D-/170872807890?var=#ht_4332wt_1163
http://www.handyersatzteilshop.de/a...+Cover+black+Sony+XPERIA+S+LT26i_3409642.html (german site)
To replace the bottom cover you have to follow these steps:
1. Pull the bottom cover a bit so that there is a little gap between the transparent strip and the cover.
2. Unlock the clips with your fingernails or a guiter pick.. Try to keep pulling the cover while you do this
3. Go all the way around until all the clips are unlocked.. Start at front left or right side
4. The replacement cover can be simply attached by pushing it over the naked end of the phone
See my attached pictures below
Good luck
MisterG
ps: for best results use a light guitar pick (mine was 0.60mm)
Really needed this guide. Pretty much made my bottom cap ugly when it fell and now there's a nasty bump on the edge. This should help. Though do you think the prices for the bottom cap will come down significantly? If it won't, I will be highly inclined to buy it now though it seems a bit on the costly side.
I don't know.. You're right - it's just a small piece of plastic but there's a xperia logo on it so it costs what it costs Maybe there are some non original covers but I haven't seen any yet..

Would be nice if more colours was available.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
I want to replace mine, but the reason isn't so bad so I can hold off until more parts become available...
How hard to you have to pull the cap to make a gap? Quite a lot of force? because that is the part that scares me the most, haha pulling apart by baby :fingers-crossed:
Don't pull too hard The cover doesn't move very much anyway.. You only have to get a small gap to put something into, like a guitar pick (or any other flexible piece of something) Without pulling I wasn't able to get my pick placed, so if you do: well done

Pull your cover off, grab a spray can in your favorite color and spray it Just joking - don't blame me if something goes wrong^^ Seriously: I don't think that there will be other colors than black and white in the future
Thanks Much needed guide for because of my clumsy girlfriend.
Thanks for the guide!
Just to be precise, there are only 2 clips on the front. The middle one looks like a guide, it's definitely not a clip
Cheers
I just received my cover from spareparts.
I had to wait 2 weeks because they didn't have stock but once they did, it took about 3 days to arrive to Canada where I live.
The cover feels and looks the same so that's a relief.
I dropped my phone and it cracked so I had to get a new one.
Cheers!

You will get full housings on eBay but I guess you better take that to the service center as the display is fixed with the upper panel so repairing it by yourself could see you playing with fire with a delicate device. Sounds nasty though
What happens is that theres no Sony official center in my country so I don't know what to do is real ugly really? I think there's just really tight cause I saw a video where they show the battery and so

I could remove the cover using my nails (and they are not very long...) - no need for a guitar pick...
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I already mentioned that it's possible to use your fingernails.. Advantage of a guiter pick is that it can be left sticked in while turning the phone freely if you have to alter your hand's position

Check the links in my first post... There is also this website http://sparepart.dk/en/sony-sony-ericsson-1629/sony-xperia-s-100338/spare-parts-100339/ where you can get nearly everything..
By the way.. Maybe we can attach new colored bottom covers soon when the xperia sl is released.. This model is meant to be a refresh of our XS with some slightly changed hardware specs but the size should be equal.. So next time purple/blue or pink bottom cover?^^
Source: http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/07/13/is-this-the-sony-xperia-sl-xperia-s-refresh/
ps: don't take this too serious the images were reported to be fake
can i remove the cover and put it back again?
mine just make some noise...
Nice one, just put an order in for a replacement, gonna spray it a custom colour
Thank you for this guide. I dropped my phone and the only scratch was on the bottom right corner - it was driving me crazy. I got the part quickly from sparepart.dk even though I'm in California and they ship from Denmark. Phone looks like the day I got it.
Nice to hear that I could help you

I dont know if you realize but the top & bottom parts where the stereo speaker grills are are not part of the aluminum "unibody" so those parts are most likely glued on or snapped in or something like that.. it's up to you if you want to return it over something like that
I wouldn't but that's just me
Dat Gap..... I just felt like I was on the chive with how big that was.
Hope the rest of us don't run into the same issue, best of luck with your exchange...

look at the pics from anandTech review same gap that you have i think.
I'm sorry, but I don't really see an issue with your device. I would rather have one without the gap, but don't think I'd return it for that reason.
Do you have any other defects? Really be a shame to return it for one that has dead pixels, LCD light leakage, screen discoloration, etc.

And this is an ATT phone you got already? If not this is the wrong section.
I looked at the 3 ATT had on display today. None had a gap like that. The metal on yours looks kinda jagged, its not a smooth cut (kinda like your thumbnail) Looks like a defect in the case. You can fix your thumbnail (tlc) dont know if you can fix that case I'd exchange it.
I also went to 2 different stores, one last night and one today. Both display devices had no gaps...although the one near Penn station was severely abused already with multiple gashes on the sides and the plastic. I would sent it back
return
return NOW!

Nice subtle burn there
For anyone with this 'gap' defect, does it seem as though the speaker grille could come loose/fall off because of it? It's a shame that one of the only non-machined part on the phone is already showing such obvious signs of a defect. Here's hoping it's contained to one of the first batches :fingers-crossed:
I'd return it there is not a gap in mine

Ive just had mine in a clear plastic case i bought on ebay for £1.95 so i cant tell to be honest, but i wouldnt want to risk a £600 phone by trying to stain it, id rather just spend £2 on a case and keep it in best condition possible.

I think she made a fuss over nothing, she was in a place where hundreds of people coming through were taking a look at the phone, holding it all over the place, of course it's going to get mucky, all you need to do is wipe it clean.
The real question is how the plastic moulding will hold against UV damage and this will take several months if not years to notice.

Nothing is hidden, as the case is clear all over, so it still looks ace, but just with a bit of protection on it

It will provide some protection, but im not a clumsy person, im more worried about something in my pocket scratching my phone,
when i am working i have a company iphone and i need it with me at all times so it goes in the same pocket, that was the main reason for the case.

Reinstall your rom using.Pcompanion.If that does not work give it to Sony centre or in the store you took it if it has warranty.
This thread is racist
Mine does receive a blue stain on the back from one of my pair of blue levi jeans. Will wash it with the pockets out next time to really clean the dye out. Otherwise no the phone hasn't stained from anything.

This is a sure way to get rid of the stain on the phone but be careful, rubbing alcohol destroys adhesive. That is why it is real handy at removing stickers off anything Just wondering if this could effect the bonding of the phone.
For all its glorious reviews about rubber finish n premium look, my back cover came slightly loose from the lower left side. It's not totally out but not completely fixed too. Makes a crunchy kind of sound when I press. Called Flipkart and they replied it was a fairly common issue and immediately agreed to send me a new back cover, albeit white.. Said they'll ship a black one as soon as it's available.
Anyone facing this issue please contact Flipkart.

Make a complaint to flipkart if you purchased from them. They will ask for some numbers on the inside part of back cover. I complained for it got a free back cover(white).
And yes they said they will ship black one as soon as it is available.
