Dropped my phone last week and made a nice dent in the faceplate. For those who don't know, it's some sort of metal (probably aluminum). Anyway, I'm not up for replacing a phone that works, so I'm looking to replace the faceplate. Anyone know of anywhere online they can be purchased?
A case is definitely coming now too..
UPDATE below (#11)
Wish I could help you, the front plate is some sort of soft metal, and the black scratches off it very easily, I got a replacement due to that in the first week, it's had a TPU case since. one of the old style ones hard as hell to press the power button but it's barely noticeable that's why I love it.
Yeah, I'm kicking myself in the ass royally for not getting a case. If I can ever get a replacement faceplate, I'm going to put it in a case. Not worth an insurance claim though when the phone is functionally fine.
All kinds of parts can be found on this site.

ebay has a few in a bunch of diff colors. only some are buy it now eligible tho.
Saw the link posted in General.. Going to be trying them out on my next paycheck..
post your results/difficulty level.
Will do. Placing the order tomorrow, hope to have by Friday.
Here is a good teardown of it: http://www.repairlaunch.com/blog/htc-droid-incredible-2-teardown-repair/
I am curious as to how difficult it is to do though, wouldn't mind swapping out for a red housing
Bezel should be here today. It's at the local post office, so it bloody well better. I need to go source a Torx T-5 though from somewhere around here.. Probably going to have to do that at lunch since we don't have anything out back.
Okay, my thoughts? Not worth the hassle. Not for the flimsy metal. If you broke your screen and are replacing that, then it might be worth it. What a total pain in the ass, and I didn't even bother..
Prevented me from doing it as well. I dropped my phone the day after I got it on the pavement. Luckily only had a few scratches on the edges, but the TPU case covers them up beautifully. Definitely not worth taking my entire phone apart lol.
Not in the slightest. The metal fascia is all bent to hell now because I had separated it from the original piece, but you can't tell that after I put it back on and put my Otterbox Defender on it..
Otterbox FTW!

I've had my Otterbox Defender EVO case for a week now. I picked it up this morning and noticed the plastic kickstand in the back is broken in 4 places.
I have not dropped my EVO nor have I placed anything heavy on top of it. My only conclusion is that this kickstand is a VERY cheap, paper thin piece of plastic and basically disintegrated under normal use.
Now I get to sit on hold with Otterbox for 1/2 hour to try and get my money back. Disappointing as rest of the case is great.

I got the commuter and LOVE IT!!! Love it so much that I sacrifice my extended battery just to use it..
But why the defender.. Isn't it much thicker than the commuter??
Whats the big difference

Bought the Defender for the built-in screen protector. The kick-stand is a joke though. It is literally thin as a sheet of paper. Completely shattered. I have now been on hold for 15 minutes waiting to speak to Otterbox. Grrrr.
Will never buy from these people again.
Good news. I finally got through to Otterbox and they are refunding my money. Apparently the kickstand problem is a known issue and they've been getting some blowback on it.
Too bad. I liked the case otherwise.
Are they paying for the return postage or do you have to?

I don't have to return it at all. I am guessing this has been a HUGE problem and that is why they are being so nice - that or their profit margins are so huge on these things that they are better off just eating a few and maintaining good customer relations than making me return a defective product and having me tell all my friends that they suck.
Their case sucks (the kickstand anyway), but they did right by me.
I called yesterday with a problem of my plastic inner case not snapping closed completely, and they are sending me out a new case nc today...
Yeah, the kickstand is flimsy, but I dont agree its as "thin as a sheet of paper"..
their customer service is top notch, so far....
Yep, I looked at it today and noticed it was cracked so I went ahead and called and they are replacing it for me. I asked if there were any plans on revising it with a metal kickstand and she told me if they get enough complaints then they would but it would take another couple months to do. Great customer service, just wish they would have used metal in the first place.

They offered me a new one but I figured, what's the point? It will just break again. They credited back my money without even asking for the case back. I ordered the Impact which will provide protection but I can still use the EVO kickstand.
I just looked an my Defender again. Lord, that kickstand is destroyed. The weird part is that to this day, I still have no idea what happened to it. One day it was fine and the next day it was shattered. I never dropped it or dropped anything on it.
Who knows. Weird.
The overall case is excellent but the kickstand and the holster are complete disasters. The holster literally rattles when you wear it due to the VERY loose clip on the back. Also, as big as the Defender is, the holster seems two sizes again larger. You could carry a paperback novel in that thing.
Defender - odd mix of awesomeness and complete sucktitude.
Yeah this thing was/is a massive fail from the day one shipping issues to the case (and holster) itself. 8 days of prodding them to get mine and they finally shipped it Overnight. Screen protector giving me the oilslick look so I pulled it off,didn't need 2 anyway. The phone was way loose in the holster so I had to stick some felt pads in there. Today I took the phone & case out of my pocket to show it to somebody and the kick stand was cracked. I haven't even used it because I've been reading about all the broken ones. They had decided not to charge me for the case so I guess I can say it was worth the money.

That's the mysterious part in all this. No one seems to know WHY their kickstands are cracking. Like you, there was no event for me that cracked it. It is almost as if there is a fault in the plastic and it just cracked spontaneously?
I have a feeling that the problem is not in the thinness of the kickstand, but that somehow they got a run of VERY brittle plastic; however, when i pick up what remains of the kickstand and try to break it with my fingers it is very tough and won't break.
Odd.
So it seems that for some reason, the area where the kickstand attaches to the phone is VERY brittle whereas the main body of the kickstand is very tough.
Ah, I see the problem now...
The core of the kickstand on the reverse side is hollowed out. While the kickstand itself is thick and sturdy enough to handle the job, the middle has been shaved down to paper-thin. If there is any twisting of the kickstand at all (like it catches on your pocket fabric as you remove it) that twisting motion puts stress on the weakest part of the stand (the paper thin area between the pins that hold it to the case).
If they had just made the kickstand a solid piece of plastic none of us would even be having this conversation. Since the hollowing out of the kickstand adds nothing to it's functionality and makes it easy to break, one has to wonder why they made that design choice?

After reading what happened to you I won't even try to open the kickstand on mine. As far as the holster is concerned I solved the looseness by small pieces of transparent silicone tape in the inner four corners and it's a snug fit now.
I have done almost everything I could to break mine including bending it pretty good and everything is fine. Doesnt rattle at all and I have opened and closed it over 1000 times.

They sent me a new case and i received it Dec 24, order was placed just a few days earlier by a csr. Was told it had a redesigned kickstand but it is still very similar in design. It is slightly thicker but now has issues with staying locked in when not in use. Durability is tbd.
W t f just used my kickstand 1 time and it popped off.. and I can't get it back in to the slots
from my phone duh
I tried after market cases and they just broke when trying to take them off my phone. So yesterday I went to T-Mobile store and bought the Body Glove hard case for my Vibrant. What a fantastic case. It is a 2 piece case and has the chrome frame which keeps the phone looking sexy. The case is pricey at $29.99 but worth every penny. And yes you can find this case cheaper on Amazon and such. I just hate waiting for things.
i was also thinking of buying this but 29 for case?? dam.
It is a nice looking case, but my friend has one and says its pretty fragile. It has fallen apart when he's dropped it. Id say there's better cases for that price.

Well that sucks. Wonder if he just got a bad one? I have to use a flat head screwdriver just to take this case apart lol. As far as the price goes, $30 is high but the case will really keep your phone from breaking.
I just paid 12 shipped. Shop around. I am on my second one. I won't use anything but this case. My phone fell out of my hands and the case cracked but the phone didn't have a scratch on it.

I also use this case religiously, even right now. Yes, i need to use either a flashed screw drive or a key to pry it open, but it's a sad day on merryville. just the other day brushing my teeth, my phone slipped from my hand from a standing position and landed on a carpeted floor. It landed in such a way that it just poped off (the plastic chrome front) and i now have a hair line scratch on the lower left of my screen. :-(
I babied my vibrant, and to have this happened saddens me!
Some how in the momentum of it popping off, scratched my screen. This is why i paided $30 so this wouldn't happen. Should i call the company?

Man that sucks! I would call and complain. If that happens to me I will go straight to the T-Mobile store where I purchased the case and complain.
These are the exact issues I was referring to. It seems tight, but it wont hold up under a fall, and when it does pop open, you're phone could easily fall out or get scratched by the case itself.
I own this case, got it shortly after seeing it in the Tmobile store. I got it off ebay not sure what i paid for it exactly. I've dropped my phone 2 or 3 times since i've owned this case and (knock on wood) each time, the case has stayed together. My heart stopped each time as i watched my phone bounce off concrete and tile but the case has never failed me. The kicker for me was i wanted a phone i could attach to my belt as i've become addicted to havin my phone on my belt and i really hate the feel of alot of stuff in my pocket. On the bonus you get a replaceable piece to flip out if you dont want the belt clip portion and rather a smooth pocket case.
As for my only problems with the case id say first and foremost is its rather bulky. It makes the phone feel really protected but almost feels like twice the phone in your hand with the case on. That and as i've dropped my phone i've noticed the chrome is starting to peel on the cases front.
As a tip i've always wondered what the cutout on the right side towards the bottom was for. All the other cutouts go to something... i.e. power buttons/volume buttons/3.5 headphone jacks.... but that cutout goes to nothing!? Well i started shoving stuff in it and found a coin fit perfectly and could get the case off easily with a little twist.
you dont know what your talking about i bought the vibrant in november and i bought that case + a screen protector that case is perfect for the phone your friend is just rough on things... ive dropped the phone from like 5 feet like 30 times still fine
I bought this case offline for 12.99 and free shipping. The flimsy chrome cover (piece 2 of 2) wont clip on in one place. Come that way, factory. Hopefully T-Mobile will trade me out in the store since the box is T-mobile branded.
i've had my feather for about 3 weeks and loved it, but I took a ride on my motorcycle last night and presumably the phone was pressed up hard to my leg while in my pocket. some kind of stress that it went through cracked the part under the speakerphone hole - i had never dropped it before. so beware, that part of the case is a little weak.
luckily, incipio has an amazing warranty policy and will be sending me a replacement.
Similar thing happened to me. How did you go about the warranty process?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Hmm... I was planning on picking one up but maybe I'll just pick up one of those replacement battery covers.
Same here. I still like the case though. I went through like 4 of them under warranty when I had a Nexus One.
the case doesnt seem very durable, has anyone dropped their phone with this case?
Mine cracked by the volume rocker. They are quite brittle. Even with the good warranty policy, I'm going to look for a different case.
Mine broke in the same place. Never dropped it.
I've yet to try to warranty it though. I just put a little super glue there and it's good as new.
I always keep my phone in either a speck or otterbox, and when I go to sell it a year later since it looks brandnew I'll make more money off than what I bought the phone for which is why I wont use any of those slim cases

should have kept it. i just got a replacement for free, all i sent in was a picture of the damage and my order number. it was almost instantaneous and they didn't ask for it back. i also was able to order the new red color instead even if you didn't want it anymore, you could have just sold the replacement.
I was debating whether to get an otterbox case (commuter or impact) or the incipio feather, and I ended up getting the otterbox. It's a lot more durable. I feel like the feather is more decorative then useful...
Mine broke just from removing it from the phone maybe 10 times since I got it....the rubber starts to come off too close to the fingerprint reader and the edges of the case. I really like the lightweight design. Otterbox is too bulky.....I have the Speck case and that is already too much bulk for me.

I got mine from radioshack and it cracked in the same place as the creator of this thread. Is it possible to get a replacement on it if i didn't get it online though? I see u mentioned an order number =/ So now im starting to scratch my head and getting ready to cross my fingers.... Its a nice case and the thinnest one so i wouldn't mind getting a replacement considering it was $24. I have never dropped my phone with it in the case, but somehow it just snapped while it was in my pocket

Of course you can still get a warranty replacement from Incipio if you bought from RadioShack. I would call Incipio @ 800.733.0088 (US Toll Free) or email them @ [email protected] to find out about a replacement (info taken directly off Incipio's Website).
If you are within 30days of buying it from RadioShack, I would try to see if RS would exchange it for you in store- to avoid shipping and wait time.
you can also talk to online support and they will give you the proper steps. if you have a receipt of the purchase i think it'd be fine; luckily for me since it's online they didn't ask me to send it in, i don't know how that would work out for ones bought from vendors.
anyway, here's the new red one they sent me. the color is amazing; it looks completely different (maroon -> brilliant red) depending on the lighting and angle.

Damn that looks HOT! I want the red!!! I hope incipio makes more colours...like a dark purple
Slipped out of my hands taking it out of my leather holster. The phone fell down face first from about 3 feet high. It made a loud "pop" sound when it hit the floor.
I think it's possible the case made a suction cup type of effect so there was no place for the shock to go which ended up cracking my screen -_-
I probably won't be buying any more cheap $3 cases, but then again this was probably my fault for dropping it in the first place and I'm just trying to find an excuse not to take the blame... lmao
Sorry to hear that...it can (and does) happen to anyone. Try the Otterbox Commuter for your next phone. You can buy replacement screens on Ebay, but you may be better off selling the phone for parts.
Lol... I HAVE the Commuter for the Atrix. I just decided not to use it today because I felt like having less bulk for Mother's Day brunch. LMAO
I've got a couple options so I'm not even worried.
I can get it fixed for about $50 or file an insurance claim for $125. I was wondering though, if anyone knows if they force you into shipping the broken phone back through asurion?
Dropping any phone on its face is going to cause it to shatter probably the only thing that would have saved you is the defender
Have to say though... that's one impressive looking crack. I'm not entirely sure about the whole suction-cup-y thing... seeing as that pocket of air would have been so tiny it would have hardly been an issue.... but that's probably the issue right there. very small lip means that the phone probably still either came in direct contact with the ground.... or just the edge of the case smaking the ground somehow cracked the screen. It's just odd to see it crack quite like that.

Hi
I just thought i would share my experience after a month with the official DDF case, a case that is lacking in both design and durability. I got the case free of charge when i took out my contract with Vodafone and put it straight on the phone as soon as soon as it left the box and that's where the 1st issue came up, the case didn't actually close! Laying it on a flat surface just resulted in the the front of it springing open as there is nothing to keep it closed however after a few days it was worn in a bit and sorted itself out. Also for £25 the quality isn't that great.
After a week i took the phone out the case and to my horror it was badly scratched on the back due to tiny bits of grit getting caught in there and this is purely down to the design as there are 2 slits on the back which allows it to go into a stand but they let small pocket stuff in and if they are solid in any way they will get pressed between the case and the phone resulting in scratched aluminium. Luckily i got a replacement phone due to another issue.
I have had it on my new black One for a couple of weeks now whilst i get round to getting a new one however i have been cleaning it out daily to ensure it doesn't happen again however the case has just started falling apart. The rubber trim around the case has all peeled off and the matte finish is peeling off too, leaving a shiny plastic underneath and the red suede interior is now a dull black on some parts.
This is the worst case i have ever had for a phone and this is only with 4/5 weeks worht of use. I would strongly suggest people spend there money on a different case.

They look good, hadn't seen them before and reasonably priced too. However, I've already gone for the Otterbox Commuter which is cheaper than this POS HTC case
I have pretty much the same problem. I love the case, I love the look of it, but it's coming undone around the edges...
Same situation here with mine.
Red felt is going black, the rubber edge has all come off and stuff keeps getting caught on the back. luckily it hasnt scratched my baby but it is annoying.
Any suggestions for a replacement case that does the same as this? I love how it folds into a stand
I have had this problem with almost every case I have ever had. That is why i put a full bad shield invisible shield on my phone and then put them in the case.
I also received the case free with my contract phone so i decided to use it until i bought a case that i liked. I used it for 4-5 weeks and the case still looks quite new. Obviously the red felt has faded a bit but that was expected. The only real problem i saw was that the Microphone hole didnt line up properly with the phone's Mic hole which is a bit stupid.

I bought this before reading reviews.
I agree that durability is poor,and have had peeling. Luckily not had scratches.
With regard to last point about Mic hole there's an updated version that fixes this.
I got updated replacement sent free, without requesting, from HTC accessories UK.

Had this case since 2 weeks ago, first problem was that the hole at the bottom was not aligned to the microphone hole properly (which greatly affected call quality) so I had to manually align it. The back leaves two light grey streaks on the back of my black HO from where the slits are, but with a good wiping they disappear. The red felt is starting to fade as well. Planning to replace it when the fixed version of the Poetic Atmosphere comes back in stock at the end of the month.
Thanks for heads jo mate. Will not buy

Can you be more specific? "The other case HTC makes..." doesn't tell us much....

ericshmerick linked the right one. Also, the other case HTC makes for the ONE should tell you everything you need to know since HTC only makes TWO cases for this phone, thus if you've used the power of deductive reasoning it would've taken you to http://www.htc.com/www/accessories/htc-double-dip/ which is a great case. Looks much better on the phone itself too.
You're welcome.
Eric, thanks for the link. AeroSatan, my powers of deductive reasoning tell me you're an ass. How'd I do?
You're welcome.

Simple and keeps the look of the phone too and the colour.
My DDF has scratched the top of my aluminium due to debris from either my pocket or something else getting in, marks aren't very big but they're ugly and I can see them.
Really p*ssed me off, and seeing as the DDF should cost £30 in a phone shop i think it's a joke.
As for the other DD case, man it is ugleeeeeey, it looks like a sad one eyed cartoon. Feels cheap and nasty.
FYI I have both the DD cases.
