Replacement battery cover needed

I purchased my Virgin Mobile Samsung Intercept at Target back in Oct. I am looking for a replacement battery cover.

I've gone into talk to the people at Target. I've emailed Sprint's Customer Care. I've posted on the VM Facebook page. I've spoken with both VM & Samsung and they both referred me to eBay.

The ones I've seen on eBay are the kind where the entire back panel is removed to get to the battery.  A friend bought his phone through VM website and this is the kind he has. I only need the battery cover which is 2 1/2" x 1 1/2". Please see attached photo.

It's ridiculous that no one has this part.

Any suggestions, other than duct tape?
