Cover seems to be stuck and is not opening
Hold the phone face down and lengthways in your left hand with the top of the phone at the first set of knuckles (near your finget tips). Then take your right hand and place the base of your palm on the battery cover. Now gradually start to apply pressure with your right hand in a downward and forward direction simultaneously. Wrap the fingers of your right hand over the fingers of your left hand and pull for more control.
And there you go, bobs your auntie.
Sillysocks, thank you SO MUCH for your brilliant answer! This phone is my "reserve", so I don't use it very often. I tried and tried, I just couldn't get it open. Neither could my husband, who is usually good at this sort of thing. The picture in the official guide was no use at all. But after reading your excellent, detailed explanation, I got the battery cover off within seconds! I was astounded and, of course, delighted. Many, many thanks to you. I know it's a long time since you composed your Fixya answer, but I'm so grateful that I just had to post this anyway.

Place a small pencil rubber between thumb and phone - you will find that it gives a much better grip. It worked for me.
hey, keep you phone face showing downward. now in the same position keep it in your left hand. you will find a small line which isslightly upper then surface. now keep your thumb finger (right hand) below the samm line (opposite of the word written as SAMSUMG). Now press with bit force . some force is required to open it.
