yeah, sanding off 0.5mm of a piece of plastic that covers the battery will make it explode....
batteries are not explosive devices, if handled correctly you can modify a lot more than that.
I agree though that it is necessary to be very careful when handling a battery and performing any alterations.
removing covers and sanding off a teeny bit of plastic will not harm the battery, if you pay attention not to short out the connectors.
if the phone keeps selling like this i am pretty sure sooner or later there will be a replacement battery with larger capacity. i for one will wait for that. (and i am an engineer and know how to modify a battery safely)
