White Trinity anyone?

Can anyone, please, confirm that white Trinitys are not peeling... I would like to buy the original white housing and it's not that cheap just to find out that it peels as well.
Thank you!

I have a white Trinity for about one year and no peeling.

Thanks again! That's what I needed to hear.

Also one year no peeling with WHITE.

I have black for 3 months....and no peeling

The FD do you keep it in a case all the time, or one of the silicon type cases ( goes around the phone to protect corners and edges ) ?

No I carry it around in my trouser pocket all the time. Everywhere I go it goes. I do look after it, I never have anything else in the pocket. No keys or coins. But never in a case.
It shows no sign of the paint peeling. 3 of us at work got the same phone all black and none of them show any sign of peeling.

White trinity here, for about five months and no peeling at all, no scratch either (the white material don't scratch).

No peels, no scratches, on white ones? How come they insist on selling only black ones (HTC branded) in Europe? I really take care of mine but that is of no influence - it peels terribly. Now it looks like it got some skin disease or something. I've never seen such a problem on any other non-Trinity device ever.

Maybe because European sales executives think it fits more the local taste. Especially for male users or professionals.
But it's a matter of fact: the white one is like the plastic itself is just a kind of varnished white material, while the black one is like a thin lay of black paint pasted on top of another material. Therefore there is no way to scratch or peel the whites, while the blacks are so fragiles.

Those sales executives suck. They've never heard that, for example, Nokia makes a fortune on exchangeable covers...

Had a black one: peeling after 3 month. Had a second black one: peeling after 3 month.
Have a white one now for more than 3 month (which I bought from a guy in switzerland, not really europe in terms of political matters but geographically it's definitly europe... )
no peeling at all, no fingerprints, no (visible) scratches.
Get a white one if you can.

if somebody is interested in buying a used white one please pm.

White is perfect
Just switched to white. Perfect housing !
Go for it !

Sure is, you can buy spare parts from here:
http://cnn.cn/shop/p3600-trinity-c-277_278.html
BTW, the white case I have (From Orange UK) is actually a white plastic inner case covered with a clear plastic case, so it's not painted and therefore won't ever 'peel'

Well, if you're like me and have a crack in that plastic clear part over the camera lens, then yes.
Otherwise, the covers are very durable.

Awesome! I got my original battery cover autographed by Peyton Siva (UofL basketball player) and now I can make sure that the silver sharpie doesnt wear off by using another cover

Thanks for the heads up! My lens cover is cracked, so I've needed a new back for a while.

It says it's a 'replacement lens'. As far as I am aware there is only one cover/lens, be it glass or plastic.

read it again, thats a replacement lense COVER.
meaning, it covers the lens. Have a look at your HD2 and tell me thats what you camera looks like, its not even transparent.

ive had a look, and it looks like the only ways of doing it are the following.
1, send to HTC to get repaired
2, do a bodge job and make one yourself
3, have a look on ebay for exdisplay/dummy phones and buy it, user the lense from that.

It looks exactly like mine. There is the camera housing, the elevated metal cover that protects the lens and the glass that sits on top of it. That cover on eBay is a replacement for a smashed/cracked lens cover, which is exactly the same as mine. Unless I am being unbelievably stupid, I am pretty sure he just means that. A picture would be nice.

I broke mine, too a while ago and sent it to HTC Germany's service partner for repair. Cost me over 60 Euros plus my initial shipping costs to get it done. Just to give you a hint of what an official repair might cost you.
I guess you could contact HTC in a different country than yours and ask them if you can send your HD2 for repair there. Should be no problem scince you have to pay for the repair anyway and won't cost them anything.

thanks guys for your replies, I will put a picture of my HD2 at the end of the day so that everyone knows what is exactly the problem

Somebody else?
My wife droped mine HD2 too... so... I was wondering if I can just replace the glass with this plastic replacement....

I will buy it on my pay day thursday and let you know!

Any news on this? I broke my camera glass, too

Hey guys,
Ive ordered mine, should be here in the next week.
Will report back

I broke mine too
No idea how I did it. It was in my pocket on a flight from Kansas City to New Orleans. First time I got it out to take a picture I noticed it.
Really would like to know what my options are.

has anyone found a fix? I have same prob. If there is a replacement, how do you fix it?

Hey Guys,
Mine arrived today, did not look like much (came in an envelope) but i fit it in quite easily and it looks great!
All you need to do to install is click it in place.

i bought one of the ebay replacement lens covers and a dummy phone as insurance. both of these covers appeared to be made of plastic whereas i'm pretty sure the original is optical glass. since this cover is going to have a direct impact on the quality of your pics, you will want it to be as clear as possible and since it will inevitably be wiped off countless times, scratch-proof. for these reasons, i came to the conclusion that it might be better to source a glass cover from another phone (not neccessarily an hd2) or get a legit htc replacement.

Hey i bought the replacement off ebay, I'm fairly sure it's glass. I find it has not affected camera quality when the images are viewed on PC, It seems its made of good quality.
