ok, just got my K800 out (don't really use it much these days)
remember the back cover extends around covering the bottom of the phone so you have to be careful how you are holding the phone as you push down as its easy to be using your index fingers in opposition to your thumbs thus negating your efforts
after that, I have no more suggestions. mine comes off dead easy now! (sorry)

when you finally get the cover off you'll see why it's a pain - there are
2 spring like clips about half way down as well as the ones where the
battery cover meets the back cover !!
I finally got mine to come off regularly by using the heel of my palm and
a left to right rocking motion whilst it's lying on a lens cloth - this seems
to release the top clips as well as the side ones
I reject your reality and substitute my own. |

Hold the phone as normal like you are texting with two thumbs

I'VE DONE IT
I went to the o2 shop and the guy said he couldn't do it without damaging the phone and said the battery wasn't in flat and was pressing against it.
So i came home and tried with the jam jar opener, it took some doing but it WORKED!!!
YAY!

hhahaha good to hear that....
i thought i was the only with that problem before... it took damn too long for me to open it the first time. i hade to use a mini flat screw driver to help wedge the edge so that i can push the cover out. but after that the second time was a charm i guess it will loosen up when you've actually removed the cover a number of times.
i believe this was also the case with my previous phone (k750) |

Next time try packaging tape, the brown stuff. Stick a long length of it on to your battery cover, enough so that you can get a good grip on, then pull.
Had the same problem with a few k750's. |

I can confirm that putting/using both of your thumb to slide the batt cover work for me the first time. |

I have the same problem with my K800i James Bond Edition -_-
I got sooo F**KING pist!!! I used my thumbs, towel, shirt, small flat screw driver (only makes stupid scratches) and Ive even used my nails. NOTHING worked!!!.... Maybe throwing it against a wall will work (Dont want to try that). I give up. It would be impossible to change the card now -.-
1 word: Well done Sony Ericsson...You've just ruined a very nice phone... lol

I have no issue in removing the battery cover..it opens up just easily..I guess the problem appears when you put the cover wrongly in the beginning..be careful or your toy is wrecked.. |
