Microsoft Replacement Xbox 360 Controller Battery Cover (Snap-On Holder / Com...

 (42 customer reviews)

My old battery cover fell apart into several pieces after a drop to a tile floor. This replacement cover seems to be much stronger, like it is a single plastic mold rather than two or three pieces glued together. It fits perfect and you almost can't tell from outside that it's a replacement part. I was also having problems with the batteries losing contact fairly easily before, and that problem was resolved with this new cover.

I had used a play-and-charge kit for the longest time with my controller but eventually got sick of the wires. I figured I'd use rechargeable batteries and just quickly swap them out as necessary (which actually makes the controller a hell of a lot lighter too), but couldn't find the damn battery housing! So I scoured Amazon looking for a solution, and sure enough found this. A single penny, 3.99 in shipping, and less than a week later, I had my new battery cover. I could even turn this in to a gamestop for cash and they wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't the original battery cover. A very good purchase if you need a quick fix or replacement.

Not really much else to say about this. Like another review stated, it does feel a bit sturdier then the original, but with this also comes the fact that it is a much tighter fit then the original. The reason this is a downside is that its kind of a pain the remove if you need to change the batteries. Just a minor thing, but still worth mentioning. All together I give it a 4 out of 5.
