Hello there friends!
I'm thinking on getting a replace housing for my aged Dash, so it looks decent with the wm6.5 ROM
. I think the procedure is similar to replacing a broken screen, and I only need a T6 and an opening tool...
Does anyone knows where to find one for a reasonable price, besides eBay?
Do anyone knows if a "dummy" phone would serve as a donor?
Has anyone here done this before?
i searched the forum, but couldn't find recent info on this
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Please read the sticky as is guide linked not sure exactly what want but should give good idea

I am actually trying out the same thing. Waiting for my dummy to arrive. Sears has T6 (in Illinois) for like $3. And you need a precision Phillip's head too. I bought both today and spent right around $7. Dummy shipped from NJ on Monday. I will let you know when it gets here if it works. I read in an archive on here of another HTC model dummy having all the same outer housing and some inner parts as real phone. Keeping fingers crossed for real. Would be awesome to have a 'NEW' phone with 6.5 and in all black too.

I also had the idea to replace the housing with one from a dummy. But i read in some german forum, that at a dummy the housings are glued.
wow if that works it WILL be great!
where did you found the all-black housing?

Found it on eBay. Local T-Mo store was supposed to have on but girl never went to look for me after she sold my brother a phone. She said she thought they were glued. But like I said I read on here of an older HTC model having all the same outers just no inners. Tracked it this morning. Should be here tomorrow morning. As long as it has screw holes I can make it work. My old silverhousing is 3 yrs old. I take good care but 3 yrs is 3 yrs. Will let you know.
Doing a little of search found this:

Sad to report
Yeah I am sad to say that my dummy phone came in the mail today. It was an EPIC FAIL. The only possible salvageable parts may be the keyboard. And that would be with some modifications as I do not think the buttons are transparent. The back of the screen where the LCD would be is solid black with the image printed on it. And the screw holes are different. I might be able to do something with it but I doubt it. It has none of the needed posts to place wires and circuit boards as the OEM. It was worth a shot though. I want a black DASH but don't really want to pony up the $100 or more for it where mine works fine. Its just ugly in silver. Calculator like. Ah well. So there ya have it. The dummy phone is a no go. I would post pictures but why bother. Anyone know where I can find an all black housing that is NOT clip on or a case? I can find the silver crap but not the black ones. Well thanks if you can. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.
too bad to read, friend.
i'm checking everyday @ebay and I've found an HTC branded one for $29... I'll keep looking
too bad i came to late, i would have told you dummy phones are not the same housing as regular phones, i tried it with several sprint phones when i worked at radio shack, they are made differently.

Yeah well its ok. My kids can score a cool spy toy now. I just want a black housing. I HATE the silver crap. I would take a red one with the silver crap but all I have found is green, pink and orange. Still looking though. Was worth a shot. Lesson learned.
Well how does $25 sound, shipping included?

Hey,
I was wondering if some one was willing to part with their additional backplate (for $ of course). The tmobile bag with my box and accessories was stolen out of my car and I didn't think I would need another as I'm usually good with phones. Unfortunately, last night it fell out of my purse, hitting the curb at a weird angle, cracking the backplate. If no one is willing to sell one, could you give any links to somewhere to buy a replacement?
Thanks
It's 20 Canadians on bell's website http://www.bell.ca/shopping/PrsShpWls_PrdAccList.page?currentPageIndex=0&phoneSku=70269
You can only buy it if you live in Canada, which I don't
You can look around eBay and see if somebody is selling any of them. I think I've seen some carbon fiber ones being sold, not exactly the stock one but it'll be a backcover.
Somebody linked this in another thread: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Genuine-Sam...Fascias_JN&hash=item5194bdfde4#ht_1508wt_1137 It's the I9000 version so I don't know if it'll fit, but most likely it will. Same back cover but has "with Google" on it. Imported from the UK
The i9000 back plate IS identical to the Vibrant's.
I have a few posts in this section on this as soon as someone comes out with some back covers i will be all over them. I want some white ones ones with designs.
I'm really surprised that T-Mobile hasn't launched any additional patterned backs for this phone, considering it's their current Flagship phone.

I live in the US with a AT&T Atrix, but out of curiosity I went on Bell's website and looked at their accessories for the Atrix, and I found some interesting ones. First off that S wave, the first 2 I point to is on ebay. I saw them before looking on Bell but just realized I can get them . Now, I could actually care less about that one, the second 2 I point to is what i'm fascinated with. The silicone one with the diamond pattern cut in. It reminds me of a Speck Pixelskin and.... I WANT IT! Does anyone in Canada have either of these from Bell? Are they as they look in the picture? Last time I checked the same accessories page for the Atrix on bell there was a blue and brown one, now their both gray. I actually like the gray better though. If anyone has one, would they be willing to sell it to me? I dont want the leather holster/case/pouch thingy. Just the silicone
PLEASE I'M DESPERATE!!!! I'M A CASE FANATIC! I MUST HAVE ♥!
Thanks!
Take a look, here's the link: http://www.bell.ca/shopping/PrsShpWls_PrdAccList.page?currentPageIndex=0&phoneSku=71866
P.S. I believe it's the same as the Roots Protective Skin except it comes with the holster thing. I believe the Roots Skin is on the 2nd page. Anyone willing to sell me on Bell wont ship it to me in the US
NOBODY?!?!?!?
I have the black one. It is okay at best, it has grippy sides with raised studs. I find them annoying and i am currently waiting for my commuter to arrive in the mail. as soon as it does you can have this one lol
wow i need to pay attention a little bit more lol i dont have that case i have black and clear hybrid sorry
Im looking for a case myself. I'm going to run by Pacific Mall to see what they have. If I dont see anything, I'll pick the black one up and tell you how it is.

«i had one of those for my 3GS, they are good if your traveling or doing something physical while with the phone, but other then that they collect too much lint for me.
looking at all the prices
WAY more reasonable then the US
why the f--- are they charging $500 for the stupid lapdock in the US
freaking out of their mind
i say even @ $320 they are making a big profit - canadian MSRP
so if it is @ $250 range it is reasonable
also the $19.99 back cover is not bad either

In the interest of improving international relations, I will buy and ship you a case man! The only catch is it's going to be a few days until I get insurance on my car (and bussing to the mall is a real pain here). So if you're willing to wait, I'll get one to ya. PM me shipping info and all that jazz and we'll sort something out.

Really? Where did you hear that? I don't think that's true because Bestbuy and Futureshop are selling it for the same price as the Bell store. If it is true, hmm, I'd get one now just to play with...

Hey guys, wondering if you guys could find a Galaxy W top cover set in black as my top part has dented. This is NOT a housing, it's more of a replacement part. I've found one here:http://www.mytrendyphone.co.uk/shop/samsung-galaxy-w-62785p.html but they do not ship to my country(Malaysia). Any1 met across this spare replacement part? I really appreciate your help if you've stumbled across a website that sells this and ships internationally.
Malaysia is on the list on their .com site.

But I can't register myself in as I can't select Malaysia as my country

May I suggest getting a dummy galaxy w
In the old days, the dummy phones (the ones they use in phone shops) had the exact casing used in real phones. Maybe you can buy one of those galaxy w dummies, and extract whatever you need from it. And they are cheap to get.
In the past, I did replace the whole housing from a dummy phone for my treo 680.

dummy phones now arent made of real phone parts(that's why they're called dummies=non working objects). that's why its now on the cheap. i've seen one of the galaxy w ones before. all buttons do not work and the back couldnt even be taken off(the location of the spare part i am needing) so get your facts right and don't simply take a chance to answer questions with hideous answers.
Hi Guys,
Just wanted to let you know that the GelaSkins for the Galaxy s3 are avaliable! They are the best way to make your phone unique!
You can find them here: http://www.gelaskins.com/store/phones/Galaxy_S_III/collection/Most_Popular
I just ordered mine
I'm sure these will peel quickly on the curves of the s3
Tacky
ugh gross no thanks. great way to ruin the sexy back AND front
I have the on my iPad and had them on other phones. They are great quality and would recommend gelaskins over other companies.
You're better off waiting for ColoWare to start carrying the GS3, it will look better and lest longer
http://www.colorware.com/default.aspx
Doesnt look like it covers the phone very well at all! Go to the custom option and try it, they look really bad.
Looks good, but I wouldn't use it. I wanna keep the sleek look of my galaxy s3. But, it's cool, though.
Ugly as ****

Ok. Just to warn you I ordered a skin from them for my iPad, it took a few weeks to come through and when it did I got charged Customs Tax by Royal Mail to the tune of £8 + VAT. So expect something similar for your skin - even if you marked it as a gift, which is what I tried to do.
