I've got some mean scratches on my dash, just wondering if the dummy phone housing is compatible with the real thing so I can make a swap on the housing. It seems like it would work but the chrome part of the housing might not fit internally since the dummy phone has no guts. Has anyone attempted this or can someone point me out to where I can buy parts. I've found cnn.cn sells the black housing portion branded as the dopod c720, but have not yet to find the chrome part.
I know I am a couple of MONTHS late lol but this replacement face has a debranded chrome piece already attached to it.

Rubber skin
I would suggest using a commercial thin rubber skin that fits great. Try the transparent one that allows you to see any detail on the qwerty. I got one for 5 bucks, from HK, I´m happy!
I’m looking to replace my orbit original case as it has seen better days. I can not find any on ebay. Any ideas?

Can not find them on that site cheers anyway
Hi I got one for my Artemis from [email protected]
Case and battery cover
There is plenty on ebay for about $33-$36. I was looking at some just tomorrow. Type htc p3300 and than look through the list. Good luck. I thought about changing the case myself, but gave up on taking apart the phone. I rather bought a silicone cover and it will also protect the phone.
cheers found one for the Dopod P800 but this is a little different from the o2 orbit style.
Has anyone fitted a new case if so how did you get on any problems?

found this on now which is for o2 orbit but is expensive £49 I think I will be buying a silicon case

it's a horrible job
I got HTC to replace the casing on my Artemis after I dropped it for 65UKP all in. Looks brand new now. Bear in mind they deal with the Orbit's *slightly* differently as the innards are the same but the case slightly different.
It's a pretty horrible job recasing these things, they don't come apart nicely.

Was that a service centre in the UK?
I mean case as in internal parts casing, I have a couple scuffs on my evo id like to just kind of buy a new housing for it, and throw it in a case
What part do you want to replace? I need to replace my bezel (the plastic piece that goes around the screen) and I found them for $28 but you gotta order 2 minimum. Trying to find someone that would want the other one.

Hey,
I've been looking to get a matte back cover for my arc, on the grounds that I think the shiny back looks a bit cheap and the matte ones are easier to hold and feel better.
I was just wondering if anyone is selling, or knows of anyone selling, these back covers either in Europe (to avoid the huge delivery times on most on eBay), OR for less than £9.

Thats the thing I'm on about, but they all seem to be imported from Asia and quite expensive for what's basically a thin piece of plastic.
Also, if anyone DOES have one, what's it like to use? Are they loose or anything, basically are they built up to standard?
Cheers all!
Go for it, same as the one I bought and love it...
Battery Cover
...and didn't take too long to arrive.
Looks great!
Also, my current back cover actually wobbles a bit under very little pressure so i should buy a new one anyway. Definitely going for matte by the looks of things
Edit: Ordered!

Would just like to confirm, mine just arrived today, and it is SO much better!
Anyone who doesn't like the slightly cheap feel of the phone, buy one. Honestly it makes a world of difference!
Got mine yesterday and it fits perfectly, the feel in hand is way, way better also the squeaky sound from the original one is gone!
I'm very happy with this cover.
If someone is wondering to buy it or not, don't and get it.

Did the same things as I couldn't take the wobble feeling anymore. If the matte cover still wobbles, I probably have to buy a case or move on to another phone. Unfortunately, others make ugly phones. Only Atrix is somewhat impressive of the rest.
any options for Misty Silver??
I found this:

Hi,
I searched on ebay and want to order one black & one silver. But there is no info available on ebay whether the back cover is matte or just like original.

Silver:

Black one is matte. The shiny one is listed as blue.

Thx all.
Received mine after two weeks (Reunion Island).
The cover is perfect !
Here's a picture of my arc silver with the matte black cover.
i know its supposed to be a back cover, but i find this extremely useful too.

just just a matte black shell. fits well and quality i would say, its better than its price of $2.40 with free shipping
for sharing!
I also ordered a matte black back cover... I hope it will give my arc a more solid feel.

I'm going to get one for my Arc. The original one is easy to get fingerprint @@
Im going to order the matte black cover for my arc
nice....but anyone know of which case it'll fit into with this new back cover? the leather case I have right now has a contoured back...
hm... I think all the cases are compatible. I've got the gel case from ebay, the leather one in the retail package and both fit perfectly.

have you seen MERCURY housing + film cover ? they are easier and cheaper than a full replacement. Take a look on ebay.
