Changing casing/housing on Magic - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Had a search but could not find anything. Anyone tried changing the housing on their phones, by buying spares off of ebay?
Is it hard to do, worth being an expert? Would love to change my white Vodafone casing to the black and red HTC one, would improve the look of the phone for me.
Thanks,
James

Sorry for bumping but has anyone tried this?

Where can i get a replacement XDA2 fascia?

Had my XDA 2 (hima) for a few years now and it's starting to look a little worn out.
Anyone know where i can pick up a replacement fascia (casing) for it?
I'm looking for authentic ones if possible but would settle for a really good 3rd party one as well. Tried ebay but so far no joy.
Also, if anyone happens to know where i can find a black version of the fascia, please post up. TBH I'm a little sick of the silver version (and black would go really well with the slidelock app)

This is what you are looking for on eBay:
Item N0: 220128539576
Hi,
i bought at ebay xda 2(i) dummys, cause the case is the same. It's the second time i do it and it works very well.
The dummy case is 100% the same like the original xda.
A dummy is a xda without electronic inside for showing it in the o2 shops.
The last dummy I have bought for only 1,- Euro at ebay germany.
regards
Frank

question about the original cover...

does anyone know where I can get the Original Cover that came with the phone. You know the grey matte with the android Logo on the back?
thanks I hope people here will answer since in the "other" tattoo forum they never answer my questions.
What cover have you got on yours then? I had the grey one with my tattoo new and its not the best - the blue cover that came with the uk orange version is much nicer

Maybe you could call HTC Support and see if they can supply one?
ill try that
I think original HTC Tattoo cover is a bit a slippery and can usually fall off from your hands. Does anyone happened that? My old HTC Touch had a better grip surface.
I was wondering wether custom covers are mate or glossy
ive got two custom covers an they are both glossy!
Ive had a search but can find no original covers on sale anywhere - not even ebay

There is a wealth of info in the General and Accessories section about replacement housings and covers, such as here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653025
If you look in the XDA-Wiki for the Sapphire, you will find the Service Manual with all of the Dissassembly steps.
As far as the de-branding goes, a new rom and changing the intitial splash screen should take care of that.
Thanks. I meant removing the carrier branding on the outside of the shell, the case. With alcohol maybe?

Your best bet would be to make it yourself. Also, this is probably the wrong forum for your question.
