I'm in a quandary over this replacement offer, so maybe somebody more expert in the matter (Tribble? do you know?) could give me some advice on this business about "On the inside the new casing offers better support to the display and electronics." Does this mean a) that while the new battery fits in the old casing, it's sort of squashed up/not quite as should be? b) That they've realized over time "duh, we should've added this little bit of plastic, much better now"? c) That they've said "ooops, without this bit of plastic it might all come loose"? How much is it worth it to pay the 50 euros for the new casing? The aesthetics on the outside I couldn't care less about, btw.

Thanks in advance.
