Magic Mouse battery cover

Well, here's number two. The cover just falls off. Seems to me the hole is not drilled far enough to the edge. Where can I add a picture to my message?

I too have had this problem since I got the mouse. It's pretty annoying, so much so that I usually leave the cover off.

While it can sometimes be a little awkward getting it back on in one attempt, it always goes back on and certainly never falls off.

Did you try calling Apple? This doesn't sound like a problem with Snow Leopard.

What the heck. It falls off and does not stay on for good. What kind of crappy design is this. Should I return it. Just got it with my 27" IMAC. Very annoying!

Add me to the list. Periodically the cover falls off for no apparent reason, and is difficult to get back on correctly. It seems like the black tab is not holding it securely enough.

How about some usability testing?

I have the same problem, it is driving me up the wall.

My Husband also has a magic mouse and he hasn't had this issue, I had a very close look at both our mice and it looks like mine is faulty; it doesn't seem to catch on the little black "tab" and if i push down on it the cover just pops back off, my husbands mouse doesn't do this

I am starting to wonder if the was a dodgy batch.

It is a shame because I love the mouse.

Add me to the list....very disappointed that it won't stay on. Maybe I'll resort to some duct tape!

Did you try calling Apple?

I wonder if Apple will replace the door?

You can add me to the list, too.

I found a solution!
after u closed the cover, press it on the cover and push it down until u dont feel any bump between the gap

it worked for me....

Very odd... I have two magic mouses and one has a faulty cover. I took the working cover and put it on my more frequently used magic mouse and it stays on. I took the faulty cover and put it on my magic mouse that came with the working cover and now, the faulty cover is now working. They are both working cover. ODD!!

I nearly destroyed my mouse trying to get the **** cover on. It really made me angry and I can't understand why it isn't working. It is really unfortunate because I love the mouse otherwise. Anyone know if Apple will replace the mouse because it has a defective cover? Or maybe they can just replace the cover? I don't even know how to answer the support questions when trying to get an apple support specialist because there is not an option that deals with mouse cover.
If I can't replace it, does anyone know if using the mouse without the cover is that big of a deal?

It bleeped out D-A-M-N. WOW.

There is a tab on the cover that on my magic mouse was bent a bit too far. Bending it back fixed the problem - until the next time. On the second repair job the aluminum on the tab broke off.

I have resorted to the universal solution - duct tape. It works fine now.
