The small sliver of rubber that is stuck horizontally towards the bottom of the back of my Vario has fallen off.
I bought the device in the UK but am now out of there and the devices sold locally to me don't have this piece. Does anyone have details of a 'spares' company that could sell me this ridiculous 'part'? The stamp for the envelope will definitely be worth more than the piece of rubber but it's so handy and I want it back!
well, i would try calling the factory in taiwan, hah! (or making your own piece of rubber)
Yeah...mine fell of too...but I don't miss it at all, maybe that I will make my own peace of rubber sometime, but for now it does not bother me a single bit
if you live in atlanta i can give you mines i doubt anyone sells that piece, just buy the battery cover.
mine fell off too but I didn't really care. just get a black marker and color that part of the battery cover where the rubber used to be. it will look brand new again! lol
Egrips. check em out
Replacement battery covers cost $7 from HTC. Google them or search this site for contact numbers.
I'm just gonna search for a little piece of rubber and cut it to the correct size.
Then I'm gonna glue it to the battery cover of my Wizard. Only then I am sure it will never fall of again

I have a broken battery cover with the rubber part still on it. PM me your address and I'll post it to you.

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.
i though i would share my thoughts on this case cover that i just bought. cost less than 5 bucks shipped from hong kong shipped (sambo-store). got it in 8 days from the time i ordered it.
fit was nice, not loose and easy to clip on. i was a bit concerned when i bought this because of the cross bar. i though it would interfere with the soft keys but to my suprise it really didnt. i press the soft keys anyways with the nail on my thumb so its no bother. if you use just the flesh of your thumb, then it will interfere. there is another case cover that you can buy without the cross bar. i bought one of those too but havent got it yet. i bought the case cover without the cross bar from a california company (ebay), for less than 8 bucks shipped and w/ california taxes. right now im happy with the cover i got on know and if for some reason it brakes, i got a spare.
even though the ad didnt say it, the case has a rubber coating on it that makes it feel grippy. also, the case does not add a lot of bulk to the phone.
my phone, x1a silver, and does not have any cracks. i can see that this case, nicely fit, can protect the phone and maybe prevent cracks. i say this because the case covers the area prone to cracking. i can see how phones may crack near the area of the battery cover because of the way the plastic angles to a thin point. i can imagine this area getting caught on the fabric of the pants or coat pocket and maybe causing the cracks. also maybe it can protect the area by the stylus by the way it kind of adds additional support around the area. it though may not help if you kind of stress the area if you happen to reinsert your stylus in a wrong manner.
if you have cracks in your phone already and tired of shipping or dont want to ship your phone back for repairs, then this case would pretty much cover the cracks. either that, get your phone repaired and then try one of these cases.
as for durability, i read that these cases break easily. i can see some truth to it becasue just by feeling around the case, i can feel and see how the edge of the case could get caught on something and would tend to pull the top cover and snap the little flimsy clips that holds it to the phone.
as mentioned, i have an x1a silver and the black case really acents the phone nicely. also, if wanted a black x1 but for some reason or another you got a silver one, putting this black case on pretty much makes it look like a black x1. most of the silver is covered and the chrome trimming is what is mostly showing.
the picture below is the type of cover that i bought even though it was from that paticular vendor. i just use the photo because it mostly matches what my phone looks like with the black case on. heck for 5 bucks, what have i got to lose.

i have the same case.. but that case cracked relatively easy.. so i bought another one. it's the same kind but it's transparent. the material for the transparent ones are different in the sense that it's stronger and i must say it looks better too. it reveals a lot of the x1a's shine.
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.

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
Hi folks!
I'm norwegian, so my english may not be 100% throughout this post.
I just got my Nexus 4 from my local operator, Telenor, and I have noticed some dust collection in the "gap" between the glass front ant the chrome bezel. I know this is beyond picky, but has anyone else noticed this, AND did a case like the official bumper help?
I haven't tried the bumper yet, since I live in Norway and it is not easy to get that stuff here, so I don't really know how much of the bezel it covers.
Also, how much does it cover the gap between the glass and the plastic compared to the Rearth Ringke Fusion?
Thanks!

I have the same issue - gap on the top between screen and metal frame. I clean it by swiping with a corner of thin paper (like check which you get when buy something). It annoys me pretty much as it is the only defect which i have.
Actually, I created a thread dedicated to this issue some time ago
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39123021
Hi,
Had to sent my Nexus 4 to had the screen replaced (it fell on the street.. face down..).
Touch screen was not working anymore. Glass was completely shattered.
I chose to had it repaired and got it back the same day.
Here's the strange bit;
I think I will call them again and have my Nexus 4 rechecked under warranty, as the phone did not have the gap between the glass and the frame/bezel before this. Now it's collecting dust, etc en I even see it in front of the front camera (so behind the glass!).
But.. I first want to make sure my original state did not have this problem. Will compare it to my colleague's phone, but she's out today.
Btw, what usually works for me to clean the earpiece, USB port, from dust, to take a piece of 'clay' (by lack of a better explanation) which is used to stick posters to the wall instead of tape.
It looks like clay/chewing gum. You stick it right in and it will get almost all dust and pocket lint out.

Just a small additional note.
With a screen not properly working, "OK, Google" with the extra funtionalities from the 'Commandr' app can get you a long way with still using the phone.
