Chosen Solution
Today I received my iPhone 6 battery replacement kit, complete with the new battery. After some difficulty removing the old battery, I grabbed my new one to pull the purple cover off the adhesives and place it in the phone. But, instead of the cover peeling away from the strips, it actually peeled off the adhesive strips from the battery! Now I need new adhesive strips, as I don’t have any double sided tape at home. Is there anything else I can do?
The only option is to order new adhesive strips or double sided tape. If you don’t the battery will flop around and possibly do damage but surely annoy you to death.
