I stated earlier that I wouldn't post anymore, and I wont, but some people here have been very helpful to me, so I'd like to share this to those who had the same problem as me - a battery cover that fits a little loose for the K700i after having opening it a few times (it also happens after a lot of pushing on the keypad).

The reason that the cover gets loose and feels badly fitted is that when it's being pushed in order to take it off, the side part of it is stretch out and looses capability to hold the phone as hard as it takes to feel solid. This also goes for doing a lot of typing on the keypad since that has the same effect (the backside of the phone is pushed a lot while holding at the back of the phone).

Here's the fix: Take the battery cover off. Using your thumb and long finger, push the two sides of the cover hard together so you actually see that they move closer together. Now comes the important part to make the trick work: Hold this position for one minute. It will make the cover stay in this "tighter" form. Now, put the cover back on the phone. You will now experience that it's very very tight to put it back on and the fit is very very solid.

I did it a week ago and the fit has not changed back even though I use the phone very extensively. To push the sides of the cover hard together for a minute makes the shape shange into a position that it should have had from the beginning.

This final post and tip was for all those out there who's helped me out during the years. Thanks guys! I keep getting pm from people wanting my large collection of "normal" ringtones in midi and mp3-format. I will keep mailing it out to those who ask for it by sending me a pm.

Has anybody got a link buying the battery covers alone? Seen a site which sells the whole casing for the K700 but I only need the back cover?

I had to put a piece of paper under the battery to avoid that craking sound of the plastic. Cheap, but effective solution. This message was posted from a T630
