As I justed had a lot of troubles due to fake batteries, I like to post some differences I noticed that might help others from distinguishing original batteries from fake ones. I know there are a lot of threads to this topic out there, but I find none with a proper recommendation how to get original batteries...
So here at first a photo of the batteries

QR Code: The original battery has a doted (round dots) QR code which encodes thes proper Samsung Part Number GH43-04574..., while the fake one has grid (square dots) QR code which encodes a wrong part number (in my case of the EB-BG920ABE (just google the number from the QR code)
Trash Can: the lid of the trash can is thicker
Print Quality: The print quality of the fake battery is extremely poor, it can be easily scratched off with the finger nail. And when putting a tape on the print and pulling it off the color sticks to the tape (see photo)
Protective Cover: my original battery came with a thick and fully clear protective cover (almost invisible on the photo). The cover has a blue tape on the bottom, as a handle to help removing it
I bought my fake battery from German store called https://www.premium-akku.de/ although I contacted them beforehand and explicitly asked if the batteries were original Samsung replacement parts, which they confirmed. The new battery didn't even last 10 hours.
After confronting them with the fake they refused to take it back (was >14 days).
After this bad experience I contacted the Samsung support via the Live Chat on there page and told them I'd like to get a battery but replace it myself. They immediately gave me a proper contact to get replacement parts. I can recommend every one to do the same before buying some s*** online. For Germany the contact is
ASCI Elektro Service GmbH
06196 9340209
[email protected]
I called them and they were super friendly and I got my original Samsung battery after only a few days for around 27€.
Hope this helps anyone needing a fresh battery for their S7.

Hi:
I purchased the clear protector full body shield for my pure.
What I like about it: Clear, every piece matched perfectly.
What I do not like: It does not cover the entire body!! It does not cover sides and bottom area (please see pic).
Simply waste of money. I sent a query to clear protector. I will wait to see their response.

Thank you for sharing ... I use martin fields screen protector which is very good
Body Guardz covers almost every inch of the phone bottom screen back and sides. Very happy with the skin.

I really like the look of the blue case. Cheers for showing us these.
Looks like from doing a bit of research on google they are roughly a good $15-20 to buy so not too bad (that's Aussie dollars)

i also done search,it is only more than 8pounds with cute gift
Which is 12.50 Australian.
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
amazing... where i am buy in indonesia ?
Great case (I have one) although it doesnt cover much of the front of the phone ie front edges or buttons when lying face down on a surface and the camera/mic area is also exposed when lying down on a surface - otherwise excellent case.
Oh yea the right hand side of mine pops off and the case moves slightly back and forth over the phone causing scratches - the movement is solved with sticky tape between the back of the phone and the inside of the case.
I have incidentally since bought a Krusell case which is far far superior in many ways (see post) but does increase the size of the phone a lot more than this slim fitting profile Imak case.
P.S - dust/dirt getting between the back of the phone and the case can cause a sandpaper scratching effect between the hard surfaces and I used some sticky tape to stop the slight movement as the case moved over the phone to also stop the scratching (and the movement).
Hello all,

EDIT: Nevermind you were looking for Soft Rubber, Sorry i am not sure but i will keep the links above for others.
I have 5 pieces of standart carbon looking covers, if anyone could find a place to buy these new back covers, please post it. I think the UK and South east mb860's are shipping with these covers nowadays.
http://www.eoem.cc/buy,Motorola+Atrix+4G+MB860+matte+black+battery+cover,5398.html
Although I have no idea if they ship to the US. I am consider picking an atrix up on the cheap. if you do get one shipped, share a couple shots.
Cool, contacted them for 10 pieces shipping to Turkey. Will let you know how it goes.
you should ask them if they come with speaker grill or not.
Is the case rubberized or just standard plastic case.
Bet it is simple plastic, thow I bet it has a little more grip wrt the original due to matte finishing..
As said I am just betting, never seen one of those except from photos..
I emailed eoem.cc about the speaker grill two times but they didn't return. I don't think this is a company that focus on end-buyers but bulk buyers.
That's a shame. I'd love a cover that wasn't as slick as stock.
ever heard of plastidip?

Have you tried that on a cover? I wonder how it'd come out, namely if it'd still stay flush against the camera, how it'd turn out even if you taped the speaker grill, how much thickness it'd add (too much to be used on a dock?), etc.
Sounds like a pet project when getting the battery case or just using a TPU and removing/replacing it would do.
Hi, a friend dropped a glass of beer on his galaxy i9100. Phone looks dead but when he give it to me i've tried another battery and the phone turns on with apparently no problem. So he bought another new original battery, put on and charge the phone. But, temperatures reach critical level and the phone stopped the charge. The temperature raise even without charge with battery in and phone on. So i disassembled and scan for damaged components or some trace of "beer" but the phone looks clear. I then sprayed with a product similar to wd40 (we call it crc in Italy, removes dirt and clear electric contacts) and wait for dry. But same problem. I turned on the phone partially disassembled and the heat is concentrated in the flex hook of the frontal buttons but probably the heat comes from the chip near that.
unfortunately there is no code on that chip so i hope you can understand wich i'm talking about. The only thing is that i don't really know if the heat is from that chip or the flex hook, i don't know how to test it. Looking at it there is no sign of damage. Any advice?
Hope you can understand the problem and apogologize for bad english
ps: with the crc the temperature focused on that chip, before that all the charging flex was over heating
Just post a picture.
Are you talking about the usb/mic board.

this is the place where heat reach is max
no ideas? i cleaned the phone completely and nothing changed
All I can say is you look through previous posts about motherboards and see if anyone has an old board you could get.
I dont know how easy it would be to change that component your after.
I dunno about beer but mine (GT-I9100P) had a couple of vodka baths and it still works impeccably. (and when I say baths, I say full glass spilled on it)
Unexpected update! Someone was looking over my shoulder at school, whipped out his Z Ultra, and showed me his flap. The gasket is attached to the flap, not the inside. It needs to be glued or replaced.
This is a C6806 model. Behind the microUSB port, there used to be this little rubber gasket. From what I can tell, it should be on the inside. It appears that there's a slight tear partly though the thinnest part of the rubber, though it doesn't go all of the way through. It's about the size of a dental spacer elastic, if you're familiar with them. When I try to jam the part back inside, it bunches up. Without this rubber gasket, the port flap stays open and the phone is no longer sealed from water entry.
I contacted Sony about it (first time speaking with them). They said that I could send it off for warranty repair, but if they determine by their own set of standards that it was normal wear and tear, then I get charged a minimum of $25 (either if I opt for them not to repair it and send it back, or more than that for labour and parts). Since I'm not too pleased with that, I'm wondering if anyone knows what this part name/number is so that I can acquire it and try replacing it myself. Any suggestions on how to get it back in without bunching up? If nothing else, can someone with an Xperia Z Ultra post a photo of the same angle so I can see how/where the gasket should be sitting in there?
Thanks!
P.S.: Sorry about the dusty photo. I let it sit around while I was trying to decide what to do about it. I was told that instead of doing the repair, if I brought it into a Sony store, they'd be able to swap it out for something like $8, but there are no longer any Sony Stores in Canada. I'm going to Honolulu for a conference in a week, but Sony's website doesn't seem to have a service centre locator for the USA, so I couldn't see if they had a store there.
The following photo indicates where I think it is supposed to go, though it could be that it was actually affixed to the flap and simply became detached.
