I'm going through this as well, plus I need a new mainboard (a whole different story). I found a place that has a lot of parts, but am still waiting for a response from them. The site/email is [email protected]
If/when I hear back, i'll let you know.

NEED PARTS TOO!
Hey I also sent [email protected] an email about new parts...no word yet. I drop my phone everthing works but it looks like some from a war movie, and the side keyboard is broken. Let me know if you get word from then before me

hi
i got the full chasiss cover replacement for my XDA II on this website, I don't know if they have more availiable
http://www.siansmobiles.co.uk

if you have the I-Mate version get the address to the closest service center and they will do it for you as to not void the warranty
they priced a complete housing replacement and new battery for i think $80 plus shipping

Seidio like case, but avaliable in the UK?

As the title suggests, im about to get a new kaiser in good condition and seeing how my last kaiser faired with my lifestyle id like to get a rubberised case for the phone.
Searching & reading up has told me the Seidio case is a good idea, but shipping to the Uk doubles the price to nearly $60, a tad silly imo.
Does anyone know where i could source this case/a similar one within the UK?
cheers guys
edit:
Ebay brought up this, but at nearly £29 its too much;
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Seidio-Rubber...14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

please guys, someone from the Uk must have a decent rubberised case. iv read all the horror stories about the cheap ones on ebay & amazons and would like to avoid those pitfalls.

I bought twice a cheap one from China through ebay and everything was OK, including fast shipping. If you're interested, let me know and I might find the seller.

if you could that'd be great mate thanks!

I had in mind that it was from China but it was from USA. The seller was http://myworld.ebay.ch/unclesamdeal/. According to the picture on this link http://cgi.ebay.ch/Fr-HTC-TILT-8925-RUBBER-BLACK-CASE-LCD-SCREEN-PROTECTOR_W0QQitemZ390021076574QQihZ026QQcategoryZ20336QQcmdZViewItem, it seems to be the same cases i bought six months ago, without the screen protector.

I have this case. Good case but one problem. The tabs that hold the case to the phone can easily snap off so the case is not held securely on. More of a problem with the top and not the bottom but a pain none the less.
Have been looking at this case(think it comes from uk).

with P&P comes to about £27.

Does anyone know of a decent protective case for the Touch Pro

Hi All
I have a T-Mobile UK Branded touch pro and Im looking for a half decent protective case. Similar to the seido one here:
http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSR2HTFE-BK
Im not looking for an amazing one, just a decent one that will stop the phone from getting scratched that I can buy from the UK so I dont have to pay international shipping fees and that will nicely fit the t-mobile version.
Been looking for ages but they seem to be hard to come by!
Cheers

I have this case: http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=11000365_11000370_11000580&products_id=15119. I really like it. I carry the case in my pocket at work. When I want to put it on my belt I screw in the include knob and use the included belt clip. Only $28.00 from PDair with worldwide free shipping. I can find it a little cheaper at other sites that resale it, but not by the time I add shipping. It is a little slow getting it, because it ships from Hong Kong. I have bought several cases from them over the years. I have got them in as little as three days once and once it took a week. Normally 4 or 5 days to the midwest of the US.

Well how about this for a change? Got it for 7.99 with Free Shipping (Arrived in 6 business days) and it looks like the Seidio one except way friggin' cheaper and it looks good.
NEW BLACK SILICONE SKIN CASE FOR HTC TOUCH PRO FUZE ATT
I'm sure the UK eBay would have something similar too.

The bottom one is exactly the type of thing im looking for. however anyone know of one that doesnt have to open before I can slide the screen up?
Also another problem is the back section where the gap for the camera is, as I have the t-mobile branded version of the phone i have a rectangle backing, like the image below.

I like the case, but does the flap get in the way when trying to make a call?

No sir. It flips all the way around to the back of the phone. I got a case just like it for my 8525. I really like the design.

Looks like I may have found my case then!! Now to go for book style or the other... hmmm....

How does the phone stay in the Pdair case? Is there a plastic film over the slideout keyboard? I couldn't tell for sure from the pictures.

The best Case Ever
Hey I just got my new Kursell orbit flex case And let me say the best I have ever had it's a Stay in case with a plastic cover over the keyboard also it's a 2 part case So the front lid comes off along with slots for a micro and sd card slot in the case WoW.... Take a look

It does have the film over keyboard which isn't as comfy ad plain Fuze on itself, but out of all other cases i have seen, this one is more decent then the rest...

housing replacement

so i thought about replacing the housing on my wing with black house like one found here (http://cnn.cn/shop/tmobile-wing-black-housing-p-4828.html) (ebay has it cheaper) and i was wondering if there is a good guide somewhere to use, or should i make one?

I did the same thing with my wing. I have the black housing with the HTC logo instead of the t-mobile blue. The guides I used to take everything apart are below. One pictorial and one video made for replacing the LCD digitizer but every step is needed to replace the housing. I am not sure if there is a step by step process here on XDA so feel free to start a guide if you wish. Here are the links:

thanks man, if/ when i do it ill be sure to make a guide. where did you get your housing from?

Your welcome,
I purchased my housing from eBay. The cost was about $20 US cheaper than that link, just as you suspected. Same housing, same rubberized feel you have with the OEM blue housing; it looks very sharp when you have it all put together. Good luck with the guide. Make sure you post up a link when you put it all together.

depending on my pay check i may order the housing this week. i need to get my digital camera back before i can make my guide. you can check out the one i made for the tmobie dash to know what kind of work to expect.
already got one on watch on my ebay

ive been looking into this almost since i bought my wing. had the thing apart several times already, but i cant find a site that sells it with the black face buttons. might look sinda dumb all black w/ blue buttons.
anybody know who's got em?

Replacement full casing/housing

I purchased one of these as the housing i had was getting very messy
http://cgi.ebay.ie/FULL-HOUSING-KEYBOARD-HTC-TyTN-II-2-P4550-P-KAISER-/180496072719?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a0667800f
DONT BUY THIS KIT !!!
The item was listed as new but clearly most of the parts were used.
The biggest problem I had was with the front face plate.
There is a few gold "connectors" that have to be melted in the plastic.
I had to break these out of my old case and used a soldering iron to put them into the new faceplate.
There was also the gold screw holes! these were a real pain.
Again they needed to be broken from the old case and then gently heated with the iron until they melted into their respective hole.
Maybe this is what I should have expected but it would have been nice if they said a little fiddling was required for fitting.
The keyboard was also not as the picture is. It was a chinese keyboard so I just used my own.
All in all it worked out well and my phone looks spanking new but its not really a worthwhile mod given the cost and hastle.

I was also planning to buy that housing but had a second thought about the keyboard. my original keyboard is all black and doesnt have the white numpad.
thanx for the advice ! ill try to inquire from other seller.
how about this one?
http://cgi.ebay.ph/FULL-HOUSING-KEY...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20b0bf01ef

A few days ago I received the same housing from the same vendor and is all ok. Mounting screw is settled and the exterior is not damaged.
Before ordering I contacted him and sent a picture of my phone. When he confirmed that everything (including keyboard) is identical, I ordered. I got the body and I get happy.
I think you had bad luck

Maybe its bad luck but eBay rules are pretty straight forward.
I was not sold what was listed in the pictured and it was not new (item had marks from use where case slides apart and also scratching.)
The keyboard was not the one in the picutes. I actually have a full black KB but wanted to go with the white panelled one in the pic.
What I got was a chinese all black KB. Useless to me.
Anyway, i got my phone rebuilt and its looks new and works great. It took a little more fiddling than I would have expected and the KB was wrong.
I left Neutral feedback for the vendor because I felt I got what I needed.

codejack:
sorry to say but it is really a bad luck. lets try to be careful with items like that and inquire every detail of the item we will buy. thanks for sharing pal
pozabi:
thanks for the tip. ill try to send a picture of my unit when i buy a full housing so that everything will be clear to the seller
