Why the panic? Are you standing in a small boat?
What can you do? Either try to find a new port cover online, or send it in for repairs.

how exactly did that happen? By leaving the flaps open?? I'm struggling to see how you could do that.
Well I'm pretty sure Sony will tell you its a consumer part and will charge you for a replacement. There are some for sale, so you could just buy one.

yep, its a very tight fit. You either have to use a credit card or have long nails to be able to remove my device from my case

With my case (have started to merge a case for the QX attachement). I have to use fingernails to pull open the brackets that hold it in place. Didn't think about the covers coming off, just wanted to be careful.

Don’t know if this is where this goes or not but it’s about accessories..
So I have the Sprint car dock and it works great (even if it only launches the dock half the time). I went out and bought the Otterbox commuter case and I love it. The good news is YES the case does if in the dock…. The bad news is the flap that covers the UBS port does not. So I had two choices, one cut the rubber that protects the USB port off and risk all kinds of pocket lint and dust getting in there or modify the dock… SO
I modified the dock… all I did was take a Dremel (best tool ever) and cut away the plastic edge. Now you have to be careful because it would be easy to “slip” and cut into your USB port. Also the LED power light is right there so watch that too!!!
Here is what 10 minutes of work look like!!

I will sand it a little but I think it turned out great!!! Now I can use my case and dock!!! I would take a picture of the phone in the dock but the phone is all I have to take pictures at the moment lol.
Let me know what you think??
Well done, problem solved. Looks fine to me. And yes, dremels are awesome ! Dremels, 5 min epoxy, and duct tape. I can do anything!
indeed nice! I bought mine today and was thinking.. just a little more room and I could totally Dock my otter box! but, I thought I would just cut off the little flap to the Charge port. instead, You've inspired me!
Thanks guys. I did not want to hurt the case as I get way more use out of it then the dock. But with the usb cover out it actually covers up the cut on the dock so you don't see it anyways. Looks great!

You made the right decision.
When you have to mod something , you want to avoid reducing functionality if you can. Cutting the dock doesn't change its functionality (even if it didn't fit after the cutout) , while removing the USB cover removes a feature.

Just curious as to what you guys use and what fits. I'm currently using an aluminum bumper but I'm growing ever annoyed with it.

What's wrong with your extend battery?

Absolutely nothing. I just like to protect my phones and I had a diztronic case previous to my extended battery I'd like something similar, but can't seem to find any. Given the design of extended batteries, they need to be a bumper just like my aluminum one pictured above...in order to fit properly.

I can't tell which one you are using but it appears similar to the SZLF Bumper case I have (installs the same way). Why do you find it annoying?
I find it annoying because when you press on the battery cover to reinstall (the battery cover) sometimes the front frame pops out - I find the front wire frame a bit flimsy.
I want to get this one:

but on ebay, I didn't find the black one yet.

I posted a pic in the first post. Basically, it doesn't provide good grip like a tpu case would. It fits OK, but the 2 piece setup rattles a bit sometimes and it attracts dirt.
I also don't think the one you posted would work. It goes around the SPen opening, which can't be done with the extended battery I have.

So I left my precious Galaxy Note on the back on my dads truck, the car that he will only drive 10% of the time, and then today he drives it. I go out to get my phone and realize he took the truck. I was like "OHHHHHHH *swear words*!!!!!!!!!"
I went out and looked for it and found it on the side of the rode face down with the screen protector off. I had a simple flip case on it, but I wasn't able to find that.
I am ultra sad right now, but there is a lot of hope.
A strange thing is that the battery was still in it and the back of the phone had absolutly no scratches on it.
I turned it on and I could hear little startup sounds like the new gmail message one
So I guess that is good, but I still have this broken screen .
So the reason I am posting this is because I want to know if I can get it fixed with a kit or something. I am assuming I have to get the LCD and polarizer because the screen is cracked into little bits as the picture showed, and I can pick out each of those bits pretty much.
So much for gorilla glass
Gorilla glass is not for a phone dropping off a moving car....
Also p.m. me I have a spare backing for the note brand new

wait, you left the phone on the back of his truck.....you say that like its normal like one would put it on their dresser or something. So you normally leave your phone in the garage on a vehicle?
Looks like someone ran over it. too many impact points on the glass from pressure applied, rather than the initial smack on the ground.

Yay, I am kind of thinking that too, but the back of the phone is completely perfect.

The rubber of a tire running over the side with the battery aint gonna cause a lot of damage scratch wise... the part facing the concret is another story.

Hello, there is a small rubber part that fallen from my ZU's USB port. I believe it is a waterproofing part.
Has it happened to anyone else? How can I put it back? I've tried to insert in back but its doesn't stays in place no matter how I put it, was it originally glued?

Yup, same happened to me. I ordered a new one from here, but it looks like they're out of stock for the USB cover, so you'll have to buy one from Ebay. I paid £7-8 for mine.

Did you have to glue or just plug the new one?

Just pop it right in. There's a fishhook kinda shape on the end of the "plastic thread" that's holding the flap, so just rip it off and insert a new one. It can be a little hard to push the new one in, but it's very easy and straight forward. You can try it yourself right now by pulling the USB flap off and inserting it again.
EDIT: Wait a minute. Fonjoy still have flaps left. 9 of them actually, and you can order it from their eBay page:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-S...ver-1272-47-/351296156319?hash=item51cae1f29f
I purchased my USB flap from them and it's legit stuff. It took about 7 days until it arrived, so overall a good experience, but seeing you're located in France, it'll probably be a little quicker. They're based in the UK.
I've glued mine back, but won't guarantee how efficient it is in terms of waterproof. Also it was rather tricky due to small size and being careful of not over doing the glue. I would suggest you to just buy a new flap.

Yeah, I wouldn't risk it for only £10 or so, and I wouldn't trust the glue to seal it properly.

Several times? What the... lol. Do you bathe with your phone or something, because the only reason why this would happen is that the glue on the rubber gasket wears off by moist/water.
Anyhow, it's still only £10, so I'm not sure I would even bother contacting Sony, but that's up to the OP to decide. Our work is done here
I have this phone from October 2016, this is my first problem.
I go to open case, because he is contantly in case, and i see he is swollen. Also, i see in case in that place something, maybe this is coincidence, maybe not.

Wtf dude.:laugh:
U need to remove sim tray before opening case.
Go to youtube site. And learn how to open redmi note 3 cover.
Might be from a previous drop, mine looks even worse (took a while to find a case that is actually protecting my device) but works perfectly. The house of the phone is rather a case for the inner components than structural stuff like every other phone. Check out this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7H9OmV0OPI
What should you do?
Keep it always in a strong case (I am using flip cover, inside silicone (this is more durable than plastic or the official cases by xiaomi), and thick leather cover), try not to drop it again and never keep it in your back pocket. You didn't loose water resistance because kenzo never had it

Same thing happened to me. In your case it may have happened recently. But mine swell from the same spot after a few months of buying. I bought it in may 2016. And it has been like this ever since.
And I don't exactly know what caused it, but it wasn't a drop.
