Hey people, I have an unbranded Touch Pro 2 with the original black and silver housing with a silver keyboard. However, it has recently become a bit scratched so in the future I would like to replace the housing. But from extensive searching online I have only been able to find branded replacement housing and as of yet have not come across the original housing so I cannot replace it like for like.
So I was just wondering if anyone has come across any sites where I can purchase the original unbranded HTC Touch Pro 2 housing?
Thank you in advanced for any advice
haha... not looking too promising is it

these guys are selling it, but i can't see a keypad.
http://mobile.brando.com.hk/HousingO2XDAExec.php
Drop them an email, maybe they can supply the keypad seperate.
well these all look like alll they have is the two halves of the universal, not the swivel part or keyboard for sale
im looking for the complete replacements
Hey guys why would you not swap an O2 XDA Exec for a T-Mobile Germany? There may be people who are more inclined for a silver model vs. black one...
This way you both will be happy.
For example, I'd swap mine if it were not quite a bit used and I don't want a German keyboard, I need British one.

Its just that I like a change now and then. And I prefer Black a lot. I like that O2 housing. Its wicked. I just did a mistake by buying this silver Orange SPV. I was too much in a hurry. If anyone would like to exchange their Black O2 Housing, Maybe including keyboard+LED's, I will happily give them my Orange Housing + keyboard + Keyboard LED's.
Hi,
I would like to buy a white housing for my MDA Touch from eBay, but there are lots of different prices and sellers..
Can you recomment a good eBay-Seller?
Are there any differences between those white housings?
I also need a new Digitizer, because mine has a lot of ugly scratches...
And of course I need to buy a keypad, because my keys have a different shape..
Did you have any experiences with buying housings in eBay?
Can you recomment any shops?
The most important point is the quality and the fitting!
It must fit perfectly, otherwise the housing will get damaged again (due to higher pressure...)
I am hoping, that I do not have to experience this again!!!
Please help me!
I had been looking for days and did not found anything useable....
greetings
touch-it
(Sorry for my English, I´m German! Please do not hesitate to correct my grammar, if there are any mistakes!!!)
I bought one a while back off ebay just got the cheapest one i could find, from china, it seems to be pretty much identical, but it didn't come with a digitizer
Mine was for the standard htc elfin
Hi,
and did it fit perfectly?
Did you have any problems while changing the housing?
Thanks in advance!
Greetings,
touch-it
edit: Do you know, what the name of the shop is, where you have bought the cover?
I also have to take the one for the standart elf / HTC Touch GSM
I got a nice white case for my standard htc touch elf,
with buttons and chrome sides fitted just fine no problems for £14
($16-$17) also from a guy from Hong Kong...
Mine fit's pretty perfect as far as i can tell theres no difference.
Fitting is simple enought bit of common sense doesn't hurt

I dropped my Rhodium on asphalt.....its operational but there are scratches on the right edge of the digitizer and housing. Anyone knows where I can buy a digitizer and housing parts for a T-Mobile US Touch Pro 2? The housing and digitizer is a little different from the other Touch Pro 2s
Am another one
Well,
I have exactly same problem. But inspite of that guy i bought a damaged piece of that phone from ebay.
Its got completely destroyed Housing and the Digitizer seems to be bad to.
I would like to kick myself that I didnt knew, that the T-Mobile version is different...
I knew that ATT mades different housing, but T-Mobile...
So guys, is there a chance to get a housing and specificaly for the T.-Mobile HTC TP2 and If there is not, is it possible to convert the T-Mobile version into standard one? Using stanard housing and digitizer... ??
Thanks alot for your reply
The button layout and the shape is a little different between the T-Mobile US version and the HTC gsm version.....I already did my research.
But where to get that housing...
It seems that I have found a guy on ebay who is able to get me the Digitizer, but not the housing...
You found a digitizer? PM me the name of the seller if he has more.
As for the housing, how about using a T-Mobile TP2 display housing since there is none available yet? I saw a couple of Ebay sellers with dummy displays

Only one seller right now.
I have been buying some parts off eBay for my original Tilt and some from another website www.fonlogix.us
FonLogix also has instructional videos of how to dismantle the phone but I think those are the Wiki's here too.
I have not checked to see whether fonlogix has parts for the TP2, as modified by Tmo. I have to order parts for a BB Curve later so I will check but you can check them out. You can also google it. There are a number of companies that are selling the parts for phones.

Well am awaiting the photos of that digitizer first. If he will send me those, then am gonna give you his contact on eBay..
Do you think that those dummy phones uses the real Housing? If so, than its a awesome idea, but am raelly not sure about it...
And the second problem is, that they do not ship outside US
If you are getting both the Digitizer & Housing you should be able to use any one that doesn't have the headphone jack hole. The internal guts "should be the same. The main difference is the T-Mobile one has a different digitizer & bezel. Just my thought on this.

Well, the housing is a actual problem, as long as I cant find it anywhere.
As what I have heard, the backplate and battery cover should hass the same dimensions and the only thing that is different is the front bezel and the digitizer, that has got different buttons position. ( at least the Tmobile version looks nicer to me
did any one have any luck with housings or if a dummy phone will work

No not yet the dummy phone was just a plastic screen. Patiently waiting for the screens becoming available
I want to buy a Xperia Arc. However, being in Canada and the Arc being exclusive to Rogers, the chance of getting an ARC in misty silver seems remote.
I checked around. Nationwide Cellular network seems to be selling silver housing for the ARC. Maybe I could buy a black and replace the housing.
Have anyone purchased that housing? Is it original? If it is OEM - not original, will the quality be much different from original?
Much appreciated.
ive bought one on ebay and quality seems just like original. But be careful not to break the lcd like i did when trying to replace digitzer. Also when pulling out screen u will need a special tool .I just used a tomtom suction end and it worked perfectly.
Ive been thinking about doing this too....but who would I bring it to, as I am not willing to break anything LOL. Also would this viod warranty? thanks!

i want to the same too.....can u please share the link and tool site where u purchased the silver housing from ???

I have the opposite problem. I got a silver one from Three Hong Kong, but really wanted the blue/black. Maybe we should just swap Arc's
Worst part of changing housing is the sticker with all the information on the housing which you have to peel off and re-stick it back.
Has anyone tried to make this transition smoother?

The most worrying process is removing the digitizer which is glued on.
In addition to this page, any more pictorial guides on replacing housing?

does the hong kong arc work on Rogers frequencies?
Asian and European ARC LT15i is designed for different 3G bandwidth. Therefore they can only use 2G for data in North America, which I believe only has has Black at the moment.
good afternoon to all.
