If in Australia the company that repairs 02 phones is in Brisbane, they will sell the back cover (but no other part of the casing). I forget their name. another guy sells complete Atom casings on ebay he may be able to source a complete kit for the 'Life' if that is what you want... - hope that helps
Thanx m8, im gonna ask someone to buy it in Australia for me, cause i live in Mauritius
Im also gonna try the Ebay dude , would be nice if i could get a whole new cover.

They have both the black and the white. I was thinking of picking up a white to replace my black. They are a legit site and have good service, I have used them in the past.
Hi thanks for the link but this is casing for Atom not for Atom Life, im looking for an Atom Life casing

i have got the same problem. The back cover of my black o2 atom life got loose and i am managing with it. No remedy.
Hi, I'm from Portugal and I have an O2 Orbit and I need a new housing cover, but since the O2 isn't on sale in Portugal I was wondering if it is possible to use an HTC P3300 cover instead??? Anyone tried this already???
I might be able to help.
is the cover your after for the battery.. if so pm me and i can send you one out. its an old one i had from my old uk 02 Orbit. Im not sure if the p3300 will fit. maybe some one else can help you, but I dont mind sending it out ya,it's just sat here doing nothing, its is a little worn on the silver bits but better than nothing
mavisdavis - Actually I was thinking about the whole cover, battery front and back, but in fact the worst part is the battery cover... If you say you have a battery cover that you don't use and it isn't any trouble to you to send it to me, I'll sure be thankful!!! I'll pay for the ports of course... If so PM me, ok???
Nevertheless my question remains, is it possible to use a P3300 cover in a O2 Orbit???
Thanks in advance
Hugo Costa
The answer to your question is YES, the P3300 housing does fit the xda Orbit, I had one on mine, I still have it and can sell it to you ?
Again thank you very much for your reply, Think I'll be trying one then...
Jester01 - Also thank you very much for your offer but I think the postal costs will be too high to make it worth sending the cover from UK to Portugal...
Nevertheless PM me with your offer, we never know...
Regards

Can't imagine postage to be that much, as these are very light, I would accept £30.00 gbp for it, it is in very good condition and I will include 3 stili as they are different to the orbit one's.

How can you that? XDA Orbit have a locker for the Battery cover, and the p3300 doesnt have, so the extUSB is not in the same position

Sorry to say, but it's the same mother board, so check before you post !
And I've had a p3300 oem HTC housing on my orbit for the past few months, yes you are correct with the battery lock, but that's an addition 02 have added.
does it work vise-versa too? will a xda orbit housing fit with no-hassle on a p3300??
thanx

Couldn't say for definate, but logic states it should as I said I have an Orbit, and used a p3300 housing on it, so there is no reason why it shouldn't work the other way round.
You are just using the components inside and none of the phones original plastics, i.e. you only swap the motherboard, lcd, vibration motor, front earpiece and rear speaker.
You have to also use a different stilus, as they are shaped on the end different.
Hope this helps.

Case: Artemis vs XDA Orbit
As far as I see from this picture and my Artemis in my hand cases seem to be fully exchangeable... Anyone knows for sure?

Jester01: Thank You pal! Now I would buy XDA's one, 'cause I like it better ^^
I tried fitting the p3300 housing (bought from ebay) on my o2 xda and i couldn't do it, i don't know how but it just wouldn't fit and i could see the housing was bulging unnaturally in various places. I got a replacement xda housing set which fit perfectly.
the version i bought from ebay didn't have the side buttons and there are various bits in the back plate - speaker, vibrate device etc which you need to remember to take out and put in the new one.
also, i seem to be getting very poor reception now, i don't know if this is because i've changed the rom (tried oops, touch 4.02 and rolled back the radio version) or perhaps I damaged the antenna somehow by changing the housing?? - anyone with experience?
thanks.

May I ask how much did you pay for that new housing?
For your question, I "guess" that because the housing doesn't fit perfectly, the antenna parts (a metal plate that stick with the body part of the housing) are not attached well to the connector of the phone board. So the signal would be bad.
I said "guess", because I have an experience like this before with my Siemens M55
Oh, one more question which I need to know a lot. Does the front plate (not the battery cover or antenna cover - which of course I knew it's made of plastic) made of Aluminum or plastic?

Thanks, I'll open it up and take a look at the connections - maybe the screws need a bit more tightening.
They both cost around £25 and it's all made of plastic - painted plastic although the XDA case is certainly better quality than the htc design.
I still have the HTC housing which is 'as new'. I'll sell it for £20 if anyone's interested.
How to open the XDA Orbit
Hi,
I would like to change the housing of my XDA Orbit too. But I only found disassembly instructions for HTC P3300 and this instructions did not work. I cant remove the plastic part which covers the gps, gsm and wlan antenna.
Can someone give me a hint or provide disassembly instructions.
Kind regards,

I did find some instructions by googling, I think the trick is to peel off the rear part by levering the stylus in it's port.
Dear friends,
After my recent tryst with Atom Life, I found the battery at sub-par level, so felt like buying another more powerful one for me. I searched on ebay & found someone in agency in Hongkong selling the battery.
Battery offered is of 2200mah & 2400mah. As per the seller it requires new back cover to fit the battery which comes along with the sales package.
My hesitation lies in the probability that may arise because of New battery & New back cover. I found people saying that there is some problem with batteries & cover don't fit well.
I call upon all of those who have been through this experience to come out with their views to if it is a nice option to buy a battery & is it safe or is the back cover fits well.
Hope my friends will help me in saving me in case its not the right option which would guide similar attempts of buying a new battery.
Kindly quote your price at which you bought your Battery.

Guyz please come out with your replies. I need your views as I have to finalise the deal in days to come.
Hey all,
I was given an Excalibur with a buggered screen from a mate, so I replaced that and it's working nicely (especially with the 3VO ROM, which is bloody fantastic!). The battery is knackered, so I will be replacing it with the extended 2200mAh version that comes with the larger cover. So, I'd also like a case for this phone to protect it whilst I'm out and about (It will go with me on my motorcycle so I really need to protect it!).
So, do any of you wonderful folk know of a case that will accommodate the Excalibur with it's extended battery, or should I settle for one of those 'sock' style ones with a drawstring? I'd really like something that I can keep the phone in all the time, even whilst I use it.
Cheers!
Neil.
With my note 8 still running about fine, no direct successor in sight and the software (pa) still acceptable I was thinking of giving my Note a little check up. After 3 years of daily usage and carrying it around in my bag, there only seem to be two issues with it. 1. The battery lost a bit of its stamina 2. There are several cracks in the back cover (3. Also a few cracks in the silver bezel but I assume that's harder to replace) .
So my question is if anybody has replaced these parts and can guide me to a good shop or a specific brand. Since I need to replace the back cover anyway, I thought maybe there is even an Extended Battery*option
Combo for the note around somewhere (sth like this).
I found a few batteries on the Web but had bad experiences with no name batteries and couldn't find a shop that sells the back cover...

I bought my battery for my Note 8 when I first got it. I purchased the battery from Amazon. Here's the one I bought and I mostly play games on it. It's not bad battery wise overall, I still have the original one. Taking the back cover off isn't hard but this specific battery came with the tools to replace it which helped tremendously since the screws are super small

I would replace the charge port as well. I just did a battery and charge port replacement on mine and if fixed an issue that made the tab unusable.

Personally I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it myself. Mine doesn't seem to present any issues, I bought mine used from someone on Craigslist
