What is the outer layer of the external battery? If it is scratched what can I do to conceal the scratch

Scratches didn't seem to show too easily so it wasn't too much of a problem. It isn't the prettiest device either so I wouldn't worry too much about looks.

It is made of aluminum but I don't know what to do about scratches, mine hasn't scratched yet.

I would say it is a some-what non slip backing. Felt side goes towards the Battery. Your battery should be secured so that it does not move around. Then there will be no problems.

I know what your saying about the scratches. I'm not sure. Sorry. There probably is a plastic knife, I would think.

Perhaps the battery has been moved, maybe during delivery it was banged a few times. It really is a simple to use device. If it's new I would suggest to return it and buy a new one.

There is clearly a cutout for the speakers on the case that is shipped with the battery and the battery does not cover the speakers. I don't know why it matters though, The S4 speakers are pitiful regardless of whether or not they are covered.

sorry-- here's the reply including the link to the video... I didn't have to remove (or do anything) to the protective casings. I can only suggest you recheck what you're trying to connect to what. Here's a video about replacing the Verizon battery which may help give you a visual. The OEM battery in the video is a bit different but the close ups (at about 3:30 in, near the end) might help. Feel free to ask a follow-up if I misunderstood or the problem persists. Good luck! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk63rADEFkA

You can put the metal disc in between the battery cover and the battery itself... the magnet will pick it up. but over time it may scratch up the back of your phone.

(1) Hold device steady with one hand, then grip the clear dust/lint compartment and slide it "down" (away from the cutter head). (2) Now notice the battery compartment cover (little images of batteries when you look closely. This battery compartment cover has a small tab on its left side. (3) With just a little gentle force (perhaps using an index finger or a SMALL screwdriver), just push the tab ever so slightly away from the edge (towards the center) and the battery compartment cover should easily come off. (4) Insert four size-C batteries with correct polarity (as indicated on the battery compartment cover) and replace battery cover and slide dust/lint compartment back into place.

There is a panel on the back that, most likely is for the battery pack, which is a Li-Polymer battery they describe as "built in". You will probably have to contact OREI (orei.com) to find out about replacements. A quick search did not find any third-party products available.

The camera area is uncovered, but it is et back into the case to avoid scratches. I was worried as well, but I've had mine for 3 months, multiple falls happened, and still no camera scratches. This is a great protective case. I recommend it!

Need to remove the internal tab protecting the batteries OR need new batteries.

The battery is shown in its case. Fabric enclosure with a velcro strap. The batteries are shrink wrapped in-side.

Sealed case, probably a flat cell. Would probably destroy unit attempting to replace it unless very careful.

It's not clear what you're looking for. Slide out the battery compartment at the bottom of the case. Use a small screwdriver to remove the battery that is already in there. Buy a replacement. Put it in where the original was. It's pretty straightforward and not difficult. I don't recall the battery number, but you'll find it on the existing battery. All the major drug stores carry it.

There is no battery cover, so it appears that replacement is not intended by the manufacturer. The unit is held together by a rubber cover that covers top, bottom, and sides. This cover is not trivial to remove, but I didn't try very hard.

Yes - I bought this earlier this year and just took the case off for the first time to take a peek and the entire bottom is covered in scratches. I would have been better off leaving it uncovered.

To access the battery compartment, separate the red cover from the black backing. I will try to attach a photo.
