Default Battery cover template

In April or May of this year someone had a battery cover template that they were sharing with other forum members and I have been unable to find that post. If any one has a template I would appreciate them contacting me.

I would love a template too!
Can one be emailed or are you talking about posting it in the mail?
Im sure it can be done on a computer program and then printed off?

That was my brother that made them "chris.shea" he was selling them at cost for 5 bucks but since he was not a vendor he stopped. I still got mine on and it looks real clean.
