With the blue HTC ONE announced I was thinking about getting just the housing for it and replacing my silver for it. I was doing some research on ebay, and it looks like there are 3 different housing models:
801e
801s
801n
Which one of these is compatible with the Verizon version? Or does it not matter?

I don't know, I saw a tutorial on Youtube and I used to repair phones at Sprint. Seems like it's easy but I'll check out the site to get some more insight on it. Thanks!
This would be really cool man!

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 so I just got a I747 and I am loving it! The problem is it came in blue/it didn't come with a back door battery cover (I only paid $290 for it too!). Well I don't really like the pebble blue scheme, and prefer the white GS3. So I have been looking for the white housing and I have found it for the i9300, but will it fit the i747? One reason I am asking this is because AT&T uses the micro sim card on the i747, but does the i9300 also use a micro sim slot or a regular sim slot?
Here is a link the listing.

If you want we can still trade, but you would have to wait until the battery cover I order comes in, and the battery cover isn't the original one either :/

I'm also interested in this. I bought the wife the white I9300 a few months back, I have a Red I747 in route and if I can I'd like to switch the housings for her so she can keep her international model and send the AT&T on back to my mom to use since we don't have 4G where we live. :good:

I can confirm that Yes the i9300 uses the micro SIM.
I'd yield to the more experienced folks on here about the casing being different. I'm sure if you dig around on Google you can find someone who will sell stickers to change the appearance or you can always put a case on it. Besides, unless you're really good, that's the type of hardware surgery that can become an epic fail!
Well here is a close-up of my i9300, they look the same to me.

I am pretty sure it isn't difficult to switch housing whatsoever, I have done it a couple of times in the past with my other phones.

I never listen to naysayers anyway, I always have to find out for myself. I'll find out in about 3 days when the Garnet Red GS3 I ordered arrives. :fingers-crossed:

Shouldn't be all that hard, just be careful because the plastic frame beneath the back cover holds the antennas, so a poorly fitted install or accidental jostling of the wrong parts on the motherboard can ruin the reception of the phone.

as long as a i9300 housing fits I will be satisfied ^_^
I was thinking of getting a replacement housing for my HOX as mine is looking a little bruised and battered, but had a couple of questions:
1. Are they a genuine HTC part?
2. I have just had my phone fixed by HTC due to WiFi problem and wondered if the new housing will give me the same problem.
3. Are they are good??
Thanks for your help

couple of threads are going around asking the same question..have you had a search in the accessories section mate?
nah i do not think that a new housing should give you any issue regarding the wifi.
should be good yes...if it was easy to do i would love to change the housing on my phone but to much hassle...check ebay for housing cases but be sure to read feedback first before going ahead and purchasing it...
but first have a look over at the accessories section here on the One X forums
Thanks will have a look :good:
Yes they are genuine parts, and I already did a big post with photos showing how I changed my grey/black model to a white model.
It's easy enough it takes both a little force, and a little delicacy but its fairly simple.
Here is the thread...

I have looked into the iMaK's case much, but i don't seem to be a fan of them.
I stupidly let my 2 year old son use my tablet and he threw it and broke the casing (fascia).
I've searched online but cannot find anywhere to buy new casing.
Does anyone know where I could buy it?
Thanks in advance.

Well if you told us what model you have and color we could send you a link when we come across one.
Without knowing what you have you may want to check Global Direct Parts I know they have blue / black and the white for GT-N8013 ($16.99)

I think the GT-N8010 is the European WiFi version and the GT-N8013 is USA WiFi version.
The white case is here
I would call them tomorrow and ask them exactly what your getting as I have seen these for much, much more some place else.
Did you see there number 210-444-9469 and it looks like they are in the states, San Antonio, Texas.
