Replacement Usb Port Cover Flap for Galaxy S5 - 3 Pack

The Galaxy S5 is an excellent Android smartphone, and for some of us the best. One of the key features is that it's quite well protected from the elements. It's resistant to rain, snow, sand, dust and even sweat, so you can take it everywhere you go. But if there's one weakness, it's that the small USB charging port cover flap may come off for any number of reasons.When this happened, took my Galaxy to my local phone seller, but they were little help as they said that the small part was "out of stock," that they would have to order it, and once the part came in it "might take 5 to 7 days" for the repair to be performed. Came back home, went online here on Amazon and within seconds found this  Replacement USB Port Cover Flap for Galaxy S5 - 3 Pack . There are other quantities available, but for the price the triple-pack made the most practical sense should it happen again.As noted on the product page, no instructions or tools are provided, but the USB cover is not that difficult to replace for even those with basic skills. You'll need tweezers or small needle-nose pliers, along with a very small Phillips screwdriver, preferably size #000. You can alternatively try the type of small Phillips-head screwdriver that you'll sometimes find in an eyeglass repair kit. Here are the abbreviated steps:1. Remove the back cover of the Galaxy S5 exposing the battery, microSD card slot, etc.2. Remove the small screw on the left side, which holds the remnants of your last port piece in place.3. Lift out the small piece of plastic that covers the remainders of your last USB port cover.4. Using tweezers or needle-nose pliers, gently lift out the tiny remains of the broken port cover.5. Place the new USB cover in, then replace the plastic section you unscrewed.6. Screw the plastic section back in and replace the back cover. You should be good to go.As far as the screwdriver goes, I already had the  TEKTON 2830 Precision Bit and Driver Kit for Electronic and Precision Devices, 27-Piece , which made the job easy as it comes with #000, #00, #0, and #1 Phillips screwdriver bits. The included spudger is handy for gently lifting up the small plastic piece once you've removed the Phillips screw if it seems a bit tight.Once you've replaced your USB charging port cover flap, your Galaxy S5 should be protected from the elements as well as it was the day that you got it. And with this inexpensive triple pack, you'll have spare USB port covers in the event that you lose another.JW ' 8/16/2015

Works great. Installation is a snap. I agree with people who are in other reviews saying that quality of the flap is better than one that came with the phone. It sims that mount is more flexible in comparison to one installed by Samsung. Original is broke after just a few times when I use micro USB connector. This one feels strong and solid, again not as frail and flimsy as original.. Seal is great (not that I tested its water proof quality by dropping phone in the water), but snaps good and stays in place.Price is great (hopefully I will not need replacing it again any time soon , even though I bought 3 pcs set). I very recommend this cover flap. I would still recommend S5 owners to buy wireless changer (there tons of them on amazon), My is "CHOETECH Qi Wireless Charger Kit for Galaxy S5 Including Wireless Charging Pad and Wireless Charging Receiver". It works great and there no daily hassle dealing with changing wires.

I thought I was going to not have a waterproof phone anymore when the port cover broke off. Then I searched Amazon for replacements. Found these (wow they are seriously cheap). I bought the package that comes with three. I think it was cheaper than a cup of coffee. It was very easy to install. I had to remove the back cover and get a super small Philips screw driver and remove the screws.

The quality is not as solid as the Samsung, but it is holding up alright. It is waterproof. It started to occasionally fall open, and I think I will replace it soon. For this price and not having to give up my phone for ten days, I will keep replacing it.

It worked perfect! It was easy to replace...I watched a You Tube video to see how to replace it. It did take a long time to receive them, but I was aware of that before I ordered---and I got 3 of them for 2.99 with no shipping charge...you can't beat that!

Wouldnt you know, as soon as I bought some spares, I never lost another one. These are better than what my phone came with

Fits perfectly, easy installation with eyeglass repair screwdriver. Samsung obviously knew that these flaps were going to break off easily which is a design flaw in my opinion. They should include 2 or 3 spares with the phone when you purchase it.

While I appreciate being able to purchase the port cover and have it arrive timely, it frustrates me that the manufacturer doesn't fix the problem and eliminate the need for replacement parts so early in the life of the phone.
