Afternoon all, havent been on here fer a good while, hope your all doing well ;-)
Just wondering if anyone has a charmer or maybee even a magician shell spare?
the bit im looking for isnt neccessarily the front fascia or the rear covers, but the central piece that basicly holds the phone together, with the rubber buttons embedded,
i droped mine and its basicly mullered ;-(, but the components are in perfect nick.
saying that, if someone has the front, battery cover and the camera/antena cover aswell that would be brill as it would save me buying them off fleabay.
so long story short, just looking to buy the entire shell of a charmer/magician if anyone has one or a dead phone?
feel free to make offers as id like to ge thold of one as soon as i can ;-)
thanks all!!!!!!
I'm willing to part with mine for $10 (plus shipping and handling).

ummm - why??? :?:
To repair/replace the housing of a dropped and cracked exec possibly? To replace the grey casing of an MDA Pro with the oh so sexy black of the XDA Exec? Could be many reasons.
I also would quite like to know if it's possible to buy case components - I've got a particularly nasty scratch on the metal plate on the lid which probably knocks a load off the 2nd hand value. Depending on what I am offered when it's upgrade time, I may want to "refresh" the look of the Exec to get the maximum resale for it.
I changed the case on my m600 last night and it was not a pleasent experiance.. it is possible but very tricky. sellers on ebay often have complete chassis you can buy
I design and protype notebooks for living and i still found it tricky!

this is the reson so anyone know anywhere apart from the luck of an ebay user wanting to sell one? (so far no luck on ebay).

You'll need to replace the entire lid - you can't just remove the metal section as it's so thin it bends very easily and will not stick back down again properly.
xda-dev member 'monster' had my last xda exec casing for the time being, and they are not cheap - about £40 for everything including a new hinge and hinge cover. No, I don't currently have any, and no, I can't let you know when I get some - I'll make it public when I have any more.
HTC will refurb a mda-pro or m5000 for about £90 but not the exec :-(

The black rubber type thing fell off the back of the case.
The part just under the windows logo.
Anyone know where to get a new one?
mine doesnt have a windows logo but i assume your talking about the battery cover...
try super glue.... :idea: (if its the battery cover)

Yeh thats the thing, it fell off without me noticing.
So i have no idea where it is..
Mine fell off too but found it in my case. Its just a small bit of rubber - suggest you find a bit of black rubber and cut one out. Otherwise its a new battery cover but i have not seen anywhere selling them!
Drop into a Cingular/T-Mobile store for a hands on "test drive".
:twisted:
I have a broken battery cover with the rubber part still on it. PM me your address and I'll post it to you.
First come first served.

Everyone i know who has owned a Wizard for more than 6 months has lost the black thingy off the back.
Bet all the stylus's start fallin out soon
mine fell off over the summer. the 106 degree weather melted the glue an it just came off...sucks.
I contacted T-mo to get a replacement under warranty. They referred me to HTC USA. I called but could not get a hold of a human. I gave up.
I have had my I-Mate K-Jam for over 6 months now and these things haven't happened........................YET!!!! GULP!!!!
For dutch people (t-mobile) can order spare parts for the MDA Vario (qtek 9100) through the website http://www.solid-vision.com/ AKA http://www.gsmrepareren.nl/
A new cover cost about 15 euro.
Greetz
Mine fell off a couple of days ago too.
Is it really THAT big of a deal??
Like someone said, stop by a phone provider store and switch the back cover with the displays. Assuming it comes off.
I've had mine since the day the K-Jam got launched, I don't even remember how long ago that was haha. But yeah my rubber piece just fell off the other day too. I guess I'm just going to cut out a new piece and glue it on
I phoned up HTC UK for one, cost me £5
my insurance doesn't cover cosmetic damage the the excess is £20 so worth it imo
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.
Hi I have a Cingular 8525 and as usual due to my clumsiness I have drop it twice on the cement. Everything's working fine but being a person with a mild case of obsessive compulsive behavior I am buggin......
Also if you guys are looking for a case for your Hermes you should try to avoid this style. My 8525 was securely in this case and the phone 'flew' out of it when it was knocked on the front side of the case. The phone flew out knocking the battery boor, battery, and the sim right out of the phone. Not good! Also, the case uses a magnet for the flap closure so it goes without saying it is sending my phone into periodic landscape mode whenever I remove the phone from the case.
I have tried ebay for a replacement case and unlike all my other phone nothing is available and I mean nothing. Not even one cheesy knock off is on there for this phone.
Has anyone here looked into getting an OEM housing for the 8525?
Personally I would prefer to keep the phone in a 8525 case versus changing it out for other verients.
Sorry for the long post.....I'm sick in bed with a 103 fever so I figure that I would bug u guys
Thanks.

Looking for same for TyTN
I need a tytn oem case as well. I dropped and scratched mine. Irony of it is, I've had it for two months, purchased invisible skin two days before I dropped it - idn't get a chance to put it on before i dropped it!
Oh and mine was in a metal case. It rell out of that! So nothing's safe. Gotta put on invi skin!
try this
checkout this site. it has pretty much everything that is available.
you might want to invest in the hard metal case : )

Did you happen to adjust the hinge(simply by bending it inward slightly) before placing your Hermes inside. I have an aluminum case, and I've test dropped it, and nothing happened.
***Please not from the factory, the hinge merely "clips" over/on the other side of the aluminum housing. If you want to make it more stable you have to slightly bend the "lip" that connects to the lower portion of the housing. YMMV. I had to readjust mine once as the first time I had it way too tight, and it was very hard to get my Hermes out of the case. Now it simply closes with an authoritative click, and I know my Hermes is secure.
Anybody find a place to get the housing for an 8525 yet? There is a large (its not that large, but its visible enough to be annoying) gash on the metal bezel running along 3 of the 4 sides of the display of my 8525
im new to the forums, but my 8525 got knocked out of my hand and got pretty messed up. my "t" key has also started to lift off of the pad. i wanted to know if this has happened to anybody and if there is any replacement keyboards for sale also. can i swithc over to the tytn with the proper front keyboard? any help would be amazing.
i just bought a dummy 8525 off of ebay, Im not sure how they are made, but I am going to see if I can switch the housing
please let me know how it works, i was thinking of doing the same thing...

The dummy thing did not work, it isnt an actual housing, only the front buttons work, the rest are fake and do not move, there isnt even a real battery cover, its one piece. That was a waste of $10.99
still really desperate to get a new housing, anyone know where one is available?

Well let me add that I am not the seller. so don't ask me any questions, but this is a seller I have bought housing for my imate jam before...
hrm, sorry about bring up an old thread, but I thought it would be easier than starting a whole new one.
I'm purchasing a used dopod 838 pro sometime this week, and was looking to get a replacement housing for it as it is fairly abused. Would something like the above posted (HTC 8525 case) work well? I notice that, that case doesnt have a powerbutton on the front of the case, will this cause a problem when I go to replace the housing?

There you go guys.. I dropped my phone before christmas, and broke the latch that holds the battery door on, and I had to use some tape for awhile. I must have ordered one of the last Cingular 8525 cases, since all they have is the HTC Hermes black cases with the front camera hole.
That shouldnt be too big of deal to you guys though looking for new cases. It took about a week and a half to get here (FL, USA) from Hong Kong at Christmas time. Very good site..

I use a case with magnetic closure..............I put the device into the case with the screen facing away from the magnet and I have never had any issue with it.

55 bucks and your back in business
I am having the same problem sourcing the correct housing for my phone. I am from the UK and have searched high and low to find a housing for the UK equivalent the SPV M3100 (HERM100 - so the label says).
I have checked all the sites mentioned above, at cnn.cn they dont have the correct housing as the front buttons are different? and the cingular housing is 1: not a nice colour! and 2:L i dont know if this includes the mid plate as well.
Does anyone know where i can get hold of the correct housing(not silver) i dont mind the branding.
I need the battery cover and the rear center fan grill for a shift so that i can make some repairs to mine but the only solution i can find at the moment is £80 for a whole new shell and im not sure if it has the grill in there either.
link:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/new-original-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches?hash=item414e507c11
how hard is it to re-shell a shift? the dissasembly has no images anymore
Any ideas or spares sources i dont know of?
(forgot to say uk based but will buy from abroad)
I May Be Able To Help.
I have a dead Shift. The Shell is in great shape. What exactly are you needing?
What's wrong with your Shift. I'm interested in buy all shift or LCD screen.
Sounds verry interesting toprowguy you want to arrange a trade or paypal sumething?
I have an old charmer and p3600 gathering dust , erm, thoughts?...
i just need a new grill for the rear center vent and a new battery cover tbh,
but im tempted to put it in a new shell because of some minor paint flecking off
from the bezel around the screen, but the ones on ebay are a bit pricey for that
kind of 'less than essential' repair.
the rest is fine tho
now ive drpped it argh im cursed, to be fair about 3ft in the air on to a hard wood floor.
only a small crack on the casing above the camera everything else seems ok another reason to consider replacing the whole case
Looking At It More Closely
Looking at my Shift more closely I do see some scratches and chipping paint. The scratches are on the front between the LEDs and the screen. They are minor though and I'm willing to bet that if you put an InvisibleShield (or the like) on it, they would disappear. The chipped paint is around the plug and the USB slot. The rear center vent and the battery cover as in perfect shape. As far as the screen is concerned, I don't think it works anymore, but I can't say for certain because I'm not about to switch it out with my working Shift. Don't want to come close to killing this one too.
We can certainly work something out. I've sold the keyboard in these forums already, to a Flojo Premier. They can tell you I'm good on my word. As are they. PM me.
awesome ive pm'd you
