In less than 24 hours, the battery cover is essentially stuck again.

I have no exlanation as to why it sets in place like it does.

Does anybody know if the M6 cover is compatible with the M7? The M7 is not 
threaded, there's a quarter twist or so needed and friction is from the 
plastic of the cap and some indentations of the camera body itself. It's a 
great idea except for not working.
