Check out the new creation. I know a lot of people have storm trooper epics (white+black)
but this is a combination of a black screen, the silver band from a white housing, and a black back. Looks sick!!! (the back piece is the white housing. so if you take the battery door off, its actually white.
sorry for the ****ty pics but check it out! fell in love with phone all over again. lol
Looks dope!!

i knew they had panda/storm trooper but didn't know anyone else had this setup. thanks for posting the link
I've got a busted E4GT that I'm going to do this to and give to my fiancee.
Looks good, its refreshing to see something different in this section too.
Hey, my E4GT has a couple dings on the body right next to the glass. Judging from the OP's pictures, it looks feasible to replace that part with new? My question, to anyone who may know is: Would it be worth fixing the phone before I sell it? I'm guessing, as it stands now, the phone's in "fair" condition (as Swappa.com would classify) and probably get easy $200. Now if I replaced the body the phone would be worth an EASY $250...Is this a worthwhile thing to do?
Thanks

Sad part is as much as I want white, I don't know if I'd be willing to go through a few more units to find one with a good screen..
Maybe someone will offer the white color kits like they did with the iphone 4 a year ago.
In that case, I'd be down to have a white Galaxy S2. I think it looks hot especially with the right case!
Wow. Just today i was considering buying a white i9100 on Craigslist for $400. Good thing i decided to check out the forums first. I'm definitely going to get this one.

i also dig the white t989... i really liked the white i9100 too but sort of regret getting the black t989 now. i have the white D30 case though, and it looks great.
i wonder if they'll sell white housings on ebay. those used to be so easy to find back in the day (think Nokia and Sony Ericsson pre-smart phones)... but now they're a rare commodity.
Ugh! I'm going to try to trade out my black one for a white one!
You mean go to the store and trade it out or trade with someone on craigslist? Let us know how that goes.

If they sell the white kits, I'd be willing to do the conversion. I was one of the first to convert my iphone 4 to white a year ago.
I got stopped everywhere I went bc folks wanted to know where I got the white iphone lol
I must have got a good batch of parts to work with because even when I sold it no one knew it was customized.
I'd be willing to go down this road again vs. going through the trouble of selling my phone with a good screen and praying I find another one like it

I'm getting my White Epic tomorrow, but I've been reading some comments on youtube about it, and it seems to be thicker and heavier according to some, anyone know anything about this?
I'll be able to deny or confirm this when I get mine tomorrow! My stepdad already has a Black Epic.
Well it's listed at 130 grams which equals 4.58561 oz, the black specs at 4.6 oz.
but I think the black one is just rounded up.
One also has to remember that visually lighter colors appear bigger so that may account for peoples perception of weight.
It probably has a smaller penis than the black one.

How easy does the silver paint chip/wear off? I was thinking about going white over black, but didn't know if the white will start looking worn faster.
I just got my white e4gt 2 weeks ago so I can't really comment on how the paint will hold up but it seems like it will be just fine. I do know I like the look a whole lot better then my black one and the smooth back feels nicer too so I would definitely recommend it
Had mine for about 5 months now and doesn't show any wear yet. Still happy with it, have the Best Buy Black Tie program and haven't used it once!
The paint does not chip off...I have a case though... using for over 5 months
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I just picked up a used one. It has chips in the silver paint. Not a big deal for the price I paid. I guess if you scratch or bump it hard enough it could be an issue.
had white housing on for about 2 months now, no paint missing or chipped or anything.
I've thrown my phone of course with the ballistic case on it and not one chip
From the 2nd galaxy
I usually use the Seidio spring holster. The bottom corners of the phone sit in the holster points and I am thinking these may cause some wear.
Ive had mine for months love the look of it so i got the clear case for it and the mirror screen protector and it looks really good like that no chipping or issues yet.
Mine still looks great!

That sounds really good. I don't mind my surround being blue, but I do want the screen/soft keys black. I'd have to find a way to make the home button black too. Perhaps paint a white button black with black lexan body paint and swap at the same time.

well I came up with this after I had left overs from a car I painted last week, let me know what you guys think, also I was thinking that I can do phone paint jobs if some of you guys like them, this is automotive pain, not cheap walmart/home depot paint.
I use:
Bulldog adhesion promoter.
PPG Omni paint.
ALSA corp paint (you guys can check out their website they have amazing stuff)
Transtar Clearcoat (Glamour series)
I did not open the phone, it was taped and dry sanded so no water was used and is dust free, buttons feels free not stuck, no over spray in there.
Im uploading a video to youtube as soon is ready Ill post the link.

my phone has the same texture but if you leave it you can see it through the paint, and it make it looks kinda cool because the clear coat is all smooth, I can paint just the back cover if you want or the bezel too, about the color you can show me a picture of it or if its a car color you can look for the paint code searching in google so I can match it by computer I have the PPG toners here
