Ive had my mini s for a couple of years now, and i still dont really want to get rid of it yet, however the body is in terrible condition (all scratched up and scuffed) and i was wondering 2 things:
i know there are replacement bodies for this but a) how much are they and b) how easy are they to fit? id love a black one, or one i can spray black myself if anyone knows of one?
thanks a lot

Hello, I have a Qtek 9100 and unfortunately I dropped it and scratched the front of the casing up pretty bad. The phone is still in perfect condition and not even a scratch on the back or the screen. I am looking for the front housing. I do not have any scratches on the rear housing, keyboard, or even the battery cover. I have looked on Ebay and the only thing that I have found is for around $100 (US). I do not want to pay that much for something that I can conceivably drop again. So my question is; is there anyone out there that knows where I can get a front housing? I would even buy the total housing to use as a backup but I do not want to spend an arm and a leg for it. I would greatly appreciate any feedback anyone has.
im looking for one myself.. i dropped my imate kjam a numerous amount of time...and the body has been scratched up rpetty bad
if theres a way to get it in canada, ottawa.. id really appreciate to find out..
thnx
How about vinyl sticker to put on top of the scratches? Like those offered by mytego.com?
you can see how it look like from this thread at howardforum

That's my phone in the post by username ToNg
Oh. That's slick the way the background and vinyl work as one.

look for the classic one.
im considering getting one - the one i had for my c500 did me great, but just wondering if anyone has come across any reviews and if there are issues with the touchscreen or not with it? ive searched high and low and cant find much info on it, thats my only concern - a good price too.
Hi,i have the two first case for my spv m600,I use the first for the week-end and the second for the work.I've a protected screen too and i've no problem to use the tactile screen.I've bought all my accessories for my phone here :http://www.kabiloo.fr/___nos_accessoires_pour_spv_m600.html
Just my opinions
I found the Classic case too restrictive on the touch screen so as i have a screen protector on the phone anyway i just cut the clear vinyl that coveres the screen off and got on with it much better.
1 thing i did notice was that the prestud on the rear of the case did pop open a little too easy when it was clicked on my belt and came loose too often.
I since bought one of these from ebay and it's the best ive used

I've removed the flip screen just cause i prefer not to have it on but it was pretty good with it
Ive also ordered a silicon case (with a belt clip) from ebay too and i'll post here what i think when it arrives
hope it helps
well, ive gone ahead and ordered it now! just hope it does as good a job as my old one did on my c500 - it looked immaculate after 18 months of hard use, and the odd drop (im a little clumsy!)
provided i can use the touchscreen through the cover, im happy!
Hiii,
I'm searchin for a chrystal housing...
I searched on many websites but the only housing I founded were "standard" ones
Like this one I founded on ebay

my case isn't broken but with 3 years of use it become to scratch a little so if i replace it I want something different (like a white or black glossy or better a chrystal one...
If someone know where to find one it will be great
Thanks
Nicolas
You could always paint it...
I take a look to your link and the fliker gallery...
The result looks great but the behaviour in times scares me a little...
Moreover chrystal is my first choice and there are no chrystal paint
But I am not sure it ever exists...
I'm admittedly just a little confused, between your spelling errors and the French-language eBay listing.
Do you mean to say you want a clear plastic protective case? Or do you just want replacement covers for your phone?
Replacement parts from HTC direct: 1-713-219-6125 (this is a US number, but they might have a European number for you)
Clear plastic cover for 8125/Dopod/MDA/etc.
I search for the replacement cover exactly like the one painted black... but clear (or chrystal) to see the inside of the mobile while it's working...
I don't think that htc can provide this type of parts (they must have the standard one like ebay)
Part of your problem (assuming you are spelling it here the same as you are spelling in your searches) is that the word is spelled crystal, not cHrystal. The other part of your problem is that it seems that no one makes what you are looking for.
Hi there,
unfortunately I dropped my Toch HD last weekend on rough ground, the housing ist completely scratched at the corners and looks awful. The lucky part is that technically it still works perfectly and the display/screen is not damaged.
So, I'd like to replace the housing and I've already found some replacement parts on the net (e.g. here for USD 80... i know, quite expensive but for me it's worth it, cheaper offers always welcome though).
The real problem is that I couldn't find any instructions to do it and no hints whether any special tools are necessary. The forum search only delivered rare information. With a proper instruction I would dare to do it myself, but without I'm afraid to damage the device.
So has anybody got a detailed instruction or experience changing the housing?
would be grat,
thanks in advance,
regards jan
Isn't this what you are looking for?
http://htcdriver.com/index.php?page=htc-blackstone-touch-hd-service-manual
And congratulations for not damaging the screen, because this is what happened to me (see the attachment), and amazingly everything works .
Thank You, exactly what I was looking for...
...however, it looks much more complicated than I expected... have to toke some time to analyze the instruction for which steps are necessary for changing the casing only without complete disassembly... not sure yet if I should dare it...
but, anyway, thank you again!
regards jan
P.S.1: has anybody tried it yet and have some experience to share?
P.S.2: I'm not sure about the "plastic stick" shown in the disassembly part... whether it's really just a flat and bit flexible plastic stick or if itr has any special tip...
try, it's easy
I did it on a P3600 and it was not so difficult, just take your time (at least one hour).
Read everything carrefully before starting, prepare tools and clean your hands
I also dropped my touch hd and dented the front bezel. I have bought a complete replacement housing and tools required for only £25 on ebay.
I have read the service manual and it doesn't deal with removing the lcd screen from the bezel. I read somewhere that it is a complete unit and you can't detach it easily
The new case is still in its box until I can find more out. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Yup it isn't as easy as it looks. The manual lacks details as it only tells you how and where but did not elaborate more on minor yet important details.
I bought an antenna cover from ebay to replace, and boy, removing the cover was not easy at all. I used to take apart my other phones all the time and HD is the most difficult one I've done. I ended up breaking the small plastic sockets (that clicks the cover firmly into place) of the original cover. Luckily I have a new one to fit back in. Originally I wanted to replace the whole housing myself but I stopped after the antenna cover until I get a video of how its done.
So anyone? Kindly? Any videos please? XD
still no videos out there?
not looking good for us as i still can't find any video tutorials out there so im assuming that its super hard to do
please can anyone assist?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
lol i chickened out eventually. and im still using my not-so-perfect housing as im reluctant to change it myself while being too stingy to pay a pro to do it.
Anyone know if the white N4 back housing will come out or not im sure some of you Black N4 users would like to convert to white.I contacted one site to ask and they said their not sure so any info?
Anyone had any luck with that?
I'm looking too. cant find anything anywhere. Now that the white one has been out for a little while, i thought that they would be a bit easier to find.
I just cracked the back of mine while trying to save my dog from throwing up in the bed... had the phone in my other hand and I hit the door handle with it.. i had just taken off my damn ringke fusion too.........
