Subject: [Leica] M7 battery cover

Any tips for removing the damn battery cover on these things?

Considering how hard it is to remove them, I felt no shame in taking a 
pocket knife and chipping a notch into the edge of the battery cover and 
prying it off against the lense relase button.

I see mentions of a slotted M6 battey cover that can be ordered from leica 
directly. Does anybody know off hand if this is compatible with the M7?

Also, I'd be be willing to buy a beater spare battery cover to try to 
mill a slot into myself if anybody in the US has one.
