So... I don't know why this is happening, but one thing I am noticing from numerous review or information sites is that some are mentioning the metallic grey backing being, well, metal. Therefore, sacrificing a tiny bit of weight for feel and sturdiness.
Is this true? If so, anyone know the difference in weight? I don't mind a little extra heft for more peace of mind.
This is the one I ordered... It looks like it's got the metallic back.

Figured! I'm fine with that if it's not bendy.
If you look at the pics from the one I ordered it doesn't look like the matte grey in other pics.. Could there be a difference?

Could just be a texture.
Whatever it is, it looks better than the white!
white just seems too apple like.
the back doesn't matter if you get a case right? I got mine from amazon and think I got gray but am not sure

Got yours from where?
Tiger Direct apparently. I'm actually going to have to return my Amazon one when the Newegg one arrives. I have to use the $500 credit they're giving me.
Yep TigerDirect. It may have been sent on accident. It was probably already packed and set to the side to go out on friday, and someone kicked it over to the today pile.
So... what do you think?! Worthy investment? Any gripes?!
So far.. Worth every penny.

ive never seen plastic shatter like that. lol. not as dramatic.
Hopefully you had insurance.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Yeah it sucks. I have insurance, but i'm guessing because the phone is so new, I made a claim but I have to fax them information and do all this extra stuff. I never had to do this when I made a claim with the TP2.
Ouch, I'm known to do that sometimes leave me phone on my lap and get up out the car. Luckily I normally have some full body protection and a screen guard on my phone.
Looks like it still works though.
yeah I have a screen protector coming, will get here today (a bit too late lol). I am looking for a case, im picky when it comes to those. Not much out right now other than a limited ebay picking and the one from verizon. Which I just now found out they make in a clear color, looks like I will have one for my replacement...
I have the body glove and zagg screen, and as sad as this is to say I have actually drooped mine twice and you can't even tell. It still looks fresh outta the box. Good luck with the replacement to from what I've heard VZW is still sold out.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
sorry to say, but i dont think ur the first casualty.
also insurance ftw.
I bought the silicone cover from Verizon, I have not dropped my phone yet hopefully it protects the phone if I drop it.
Hopefully Otterbox will make one for this phone like the one for the iphone.
dropped my x10 and nothing happened. wouldn't wanna try it with my incredible now

Well i completed the claims and it already gave me a tracking number and guaranteed my replacement will be here on the 7th.
Does anyone remember the incredible before it was released and had the red back cover instead of the black?? Has anyone seen one for sale?

That is really cool but it's up to $32.00 + $7.00 shipping now with 14 bids and 3 days 7 hours left to go!
I would love to have one but for a battery cover that's to pricey for me
gadget!
Only an idiot would pay that price for a real red back.
Sent from my Droid Incredible using Tapatalk
now it's up to $63.37 with 22 bids!

That is ridiculous
It's certainly not...around $50 for a rare pre-production accessory on a popular phone? Sounds reasonable to me...
It's all about personal preference, it is rare, it should be kept and not used due to rarity, now, if your looking for just the red back door, take yours off, and paint it.
I'd pay $50 for the door, and use it!
Sold for over $100... lol
Wow I got mine for $19.95
Uh...where?
Well I got it (not the one from ebay, but he had another I made a separate deal for), and it was totally worth it:

I don't know about that - some folks around here are so desperate for root, he'll probably get a good price. Maybe this can go up in the marketplace, though? That might be more appropriate? Don't know how that works.
Sent from my blah blah blah blah
thanks I didn't even realize we had a market here. I think it's a good price, considering :
- I just got it exchanged for a new one, so it's basically new ($449)
- Phantom Skinz already applied to the kickstand and back, plus 2 sets of sides and front (around $20)
- Stenheil Ultra clear applied already ($14)
- Rooted + 1.4 PRI (some people may appreciate it, because not everyone can get them both at the same time)
Seido Innocase + Holster ($35)
Take in to consideration the time to ship all of that, vs instant satisfaction of having it all in once
bump, pics added
I'll trade my white HTC EVO with the damn Android 2.2 OTA update for this phone, then you can just sell the white one for the same price. And up on eBay you'll probably get more just because its the white version.

you can order it online, or I heard some people have kiosks at their local malls that carry them, not around me though
So I Know everyone has seen the red frame near the battery door, but I decided to swap the back cover completely with a white evo.
I think it looks awesome, but it was a pain to get the little metal connectors off the black housing and onto the white.

One of my coworkers did the same with their Evo, looks pretty awesome.
The white housing's paint can also be easily scratched off to make it red. The white battery cover isn't paint though so it stays white.

Seems kinda neat. Ordered the case because it was only $5 more. Liked the grip case on my previous phone. Not the cheapest option, but i've not see knockoff skins around for cheaper.

That looks pretty cool. It certainly would make your phone look different.
Looks really interesting, I will give it a thought
I have one coming in the next week or so, I'll post my thoughts and what i think of the skin when it arrives.
This also happens to be my first DBrand skin as well.
Pretty sick but I cant justify 25.00 for it

Got mine Thursday!
I opted for the case and skin.
Got my case and skin the other day. Installed the skin like the installation video showed and it looked good. Two days later the skin developed several bubbles that I can't get rid of. Not terribly impressed right now. I sent email to Dbrand and will wait and see if they can help me.
Maybe try to heat it up lift it up carefully and reapply. Then reapply heat and smooth it down once more
Dbrand has been really great. I explained my problem with the bubbles forming and they suggested a couple possible remedies. When the suggestions failed to correct the problem they sent me a replacement skin. No hassles no grief they just stepped up and helped me out. I'm impressed. Thanks Dbrand.
