Tried that. As this was not a manufacturer defect, they wouldn't help me. Nokia was the same. Finally called and put in an insurance claim today. They are sending a new phone (I have to pay $50 deductible). I'll pay the $22 non-return fee so that I have a back-up phone. Still makes me mad that I had to fork out $75 for a damn battery cover.
I knew (after googling all week) that this was a Pantech phone, but still no luck in finding a cover. Next time I get phones, I will do a little research first.
