You get both doors when you buy the 'extended battery'. That is not the price of the doors indivisually. You get the extended battery too!

they are made out of the same material as the stock covers.

I have one and the battery works well on stock, but obviously works best rooted and trickle charged. Takes 2.5 to charge. The white looks awful, like a car with mismatched doors. The gloss does not match. You get a year warranty. I have tried many trickle kernals. Currently Using rom myns warm2.2 rls5 ,netarchy-toastmod mod 4.3.1-cfs-havs-sbc kernal . No overclock, auto brightness constant 3g, handcenter texting, surfing, emailing I use for 7 hrs at work. About 80's % left. When I got it as a present dec 2010 newegg did not sell seidio accessories,And seidio was back ordered so bit the bullet. It worked out. Sadlys no custom case for this. Ihear seidio case will work, no kick standard though, no dice.

that price is the 2600mah extended battery plus those two backdoors that you saw, both are made of plastic but white has glossy finish while the black have a rubber like finish.

Overpriced x3
Those are the most overpriced item I have seen. I have a wholesaler account with a cell company and a black case and 2700 battery (not a knockoff from china by the way) costs a TON less. So shop around people and dont get ripped.
The black case has a nice soft feel, the white looks cool but is very shiny and plastic looking.

I picked up 2 of these earlier this week for 2 Evo's we have. And TBH Battery life tripled or quadrupled (Rooted) and the battery doors feel really nice. The black ones at least. The white doors make the phone look kinda ugly IMO but hey, not bad at all for $55.

I posted this on another thread, but I'll post it here too. Does anyone know if there is a case that works with the Sprint extended battery?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

The seidio rugged extended has been said to work, I use the seidio rugged non extended with the sprint 2600mah battery but it requires some modification. It looks very clean you can't tell there is a extended battery in there or that the case has been modified.

Like others have said -- you have a wholesaler account yet you are complaining about RETAIL prices? Do you know how different markets and distribution channels work?
It's not a bad deal even retail wise - you are getting a good piece of hardware at a fair price from a nationwide retail chain that honors returns and exchances with little to no hassle.
Sure you could buy a "3500mAh extended" battery from some no-name place on ebay for 10 dollars. Problem is you have no idea on the quality, and returns are next to impossible.
I can beat even your wholesaler pricing on this exact item though. I got mine for free from the sprint store. Just by asking and being nice. Bought the battery and then had online customer care credit me back 60 dollars to my account. Great little battery, and I seem to recall that Li-Po batteriers are even more advanced then the common Li-Ion these days.

I got one from sprint for free and let me tell you I would of paid for the battery. This by far is better then any ebay battery I bought. No secret charging steps or anything those ebay ones tell you to do. Popped it in and went. I get three dayson a charge with being rooted. I do agree the white door just don't look right.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

$55 is not a bad deal, that's the same as the Seidio 3500 mAh but it's genuine OEM which guarantees performance. It looks quite a bit thinner too, where it doesn't turn my Evo into a Zack Morris phone.
Still pricey though. I wish I could use my $150 upgrade credit towards accessories...

[Q] Backplate Replacement

My xPlay recently took a nasty fall to some concrete. The only notable damage is a n extremelly scratched backplate. Does anyone know where I can buy a new backplate, without buying a case or a new phone?

Dang that's so cheap for the back cover....I kinda wish I had the black XPlay... Lol.

I sometimes wish I had a white xPlay but like my black one too (more Playstation like less iphone like).
The best backplate I imagine is leather covered or chrome but dn't know if it would affect the radio signal...
That with a dual SD adapter maybe and foldable out stand but without making it bulkier
Don't know if it is possible and how much it would have to cost

I just got a replacement door the other day for $14.99 (shipping included) off ebay. My dumb ass tried to remove the Sprint logo using paint remover and the paint remover...well lets just say it also removed the plastic lol.
I still have the old door. I'll probably buy some type of carbon fiber wrap for it & use it as a backup.

I got a battery & external charger for less than $6 off ebay (free shipping) an it was from the states vs china or japan. You might be able to find both parts not together for cheaper. Just make sure you search the OG samsung epic and the 1800 mah battery and they are far cheaper than the epic touch batteries. external charger doesnt matter since the batteries are the same size from both phones.

Cracked my screen, what are my options?

Hoping to hear from people who have dealt with this before. Cracked my screen pretty badly but luckily (relatively...) it still works as far as i know. I don't have insurance and while I'm gonna deal with it for now I'd eventually like to get it replaced, fixed, or upgrade to a new phone. What are ballpark figures for cost considering my contract isn't up for another year and a half and i don't have insurance? What would you do if you were in my situation?

Slightly off topic, but how'd you manage to do it? I know our screens are Gorilla Glass and that mine has been through some pretty crazy drops already...

Are you the guy who called me this morning about the Galaxy S2 Screen? or is this just a coincidence in my world?

Ultimately i can't blame anything but my own carelessness. Long story short i accidentally crushed it between some heavy metal hinges on a forklift...the gorilla glass didn't stand a chance.

my advice: get it fixed

newalker91 said:
Sprint will not repair the screen, so that's not an option. Replacing the phone would be around $250 cheapest for a used device, $550 for a retail price device. Sending it in to a 3rd party repair company would cost you the $150 for the screen plus hourly labor, making it closer to $200. Factor in shipping cost and you may as well buy a phone.
Replacing the screen is easy. Undo the 6 philips head screws in the back housing, work a thin plastic wedge around the rim and pop the housing off. Undo the two screws on the board, unclip the ribbon cables, reverse the process onto the new screen. Takes about 15 minutes if you haven't done it before.

If you do find just the glass they don't seal right then they look worse than a cracked screen.

Why not just add insurance and get it fixed that way

I have a brand new white LCD for epic touch if you want it, I don't need it . Same thing as what thy linked on eBay. Pretty simple to assemble too. I'd sell it to ya way cheaper.

Sprint won't allow that. If that were the case everybody would be doing that.
If I were you I would buy dude's screen who is posted above this post and after that I would go on YouTube to see if I could find a video on how to assemble or replace the Epic touch's screen. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
If I helped you out in any way please thank me. Thanks.

If the Insurance was added the best you could do is process and insurance claim and get a refurbished phone for $100.
Changing out the screen is pretty simple. Just make sure you watch the camera connection at the top and the one at the bottom of the board. Every DIYer seems to miss those two.

It's very unfortunate that our assemblies cost so much, when the iphone assembly is like 40 bucks and to get it installed will run about 90 if you don't do it yourself. Our phone seriously needs cheaper replacement parts.

That would be awesome! Just PM'ed you

You can search on Craigslist and eBay for phones with bad esn. And simply make one working out of two.
You can ask on forums for people who bricked their phones beyond returning point and sprint refuses to help them.
But of the guy above gives you a good deal. Take it.

Have you actually had Sprint tell you no? Have you actually gone into a corporate store and asked?
I ask because they replaced my cracked screen on my HTC EVO 4G a few months back, no questions asked, totally free.

Yes, I went in the day it happened and asked if they could replace it or what my options were. Other than buying a new phone for retail price, they said they couldn't do anything and didn't even do the repairs themselves. They just referred me to World of Wireless (I called them and they were charging $250 for the 'custom order' repair they'd have to do).

Buy a new one off Amazon for $8.00 and install it yourself. It take about a half hour and save a bunch of money

maybe im wrong, but i would guess that it's unlikely there will be any bumpers from main manufacturers considering the phone is very thin at the edges and also the fact that it gets narrower at the edges (ie. not constant thickness)

There doesn't seem to be any official pouch at the moment which is unfortunate. I like my phone to be nude when I use it but be protected in my pocket.

Bro, check on http://www.pdair.com they sell high quality leather pouches. I'm like you and I like my phone to be naked and only be covered by a pouch so that people can see the device I have (I know, it sounds kind of egocentric) but also, I like to see my phone as it is, without anything covering it except the screen protector
The products are in production and expected to be released soon, I will definetly get one from them

I'm really loving that HTC is putting out their own accessories as well, I'm personally getting the flip case.
I never use cases for usual usage, but I'd like to have a kickstand since I plan on also using this for a very tiny but very portable working/entertaining interface. Like I usually jot down a few notes about appointments and lectures, as well as I like watching stuff on my phone
