If you are looking to replace your 8125 case here's an excellent deal.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=360011196557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=023
I've purchased one of these and it includes all the buttons. The antenna cover already had the antenna installed. It even included the black rubber gasket around the display. All I had to move was the ear piece and the vibrator.
I don't know if they are take offs but mine was in A+ shape. They don't include the back cover.
Awesome!
Beats paying $50+ for a new shell...
My only question is; can you move the MDA circuitry to the 8125 shell? Seems logical, seeing as both are the same hardware.
Great find... They also have the wiz200.

I got the same housing from this seller and it's brand new! No scratches, no nothing. Just be aware that it does not include the battery cover.

I bought one from them and sent a message to them that there was a chip in the corner of one of the pieces.
In the auction listing, it states that they may come damaged but should not affect working order.
So...be aware that there may be cosmetic damage.
They were kind enough to send a replacement, which I should be getting in a few days.
Hopefully, it will be a new piece.
Update:
These guys are great....well in my case anyways.
In the previous post I mentioned that a had a chipped corner on the housing and requested a new piece.
Well, those guys sent out a whole new setup..this one was in great shape....dont know if it was new, but looks practically brand new.
There was never any questions on their end...they just sent out another one.
I would recommend them highly. Great customer support.
O btw, I told them I would send the original one back...they said to keep it.
WOW...top notch guys.
I just ordered one of those cases i'll make sure to let you all know how it comes when i get it!
Very Nice... there were a few minor scratches on the corners and buttons but other than that the housing i bought for my wizard was in great shape! no battery door cover tho
can some post a pick of the how the device looks in this housing?
got mine. no back cover, no screws. so what, do i use the screws from my wizard shell to close the new 8125 shell?

Gotta check this out.It's alot cheaper than others.
Thanks
I got a Wizard 100 (Cingular Branded) shell. It looks brand new.......not one scratch on it. It didn't come with a battery cover though
Ordered it last night...Should be here middle of the week.I hope it's in good condition.
anyone knows where i can get some extra screws?
i was about to assemble the wizards guts in to the new shell, but the keypads dont line up, if i go along and assemble, i wont have use of the send call button and the end call button, and some other buttons as well
Good Deal
The one they sent me was in great shape!!!
I just ordered a shell for my T-Mobile branded Wizard 200....I hope it will be practically new like the Cingular Branded Wizard 100 shell I ordered earlier...
Do anyone use this matt finishing battery cover for TD2?
I wanted to change to this matt finishing battery cover but do not know where find this...
Cos firstly orignal shiny finishing cover is a finger print magnet and secondly very easily scatched !
I alraedy have a scatch mark just below the pointed end of the camara....

I here tell that HTC will be releasing alternative battery doors at some point, including a furry one . No dates yet
There already exist 2 different covers, black and brown, but no matt finish (to buy)
at the moment.
http://www.gsm4world.us/htc-touch-diamond-2-p-474_210.html
I hope the matt one comes soon.
Here is a link from Taiwan, seems kinda expensive though:
http://translate.google.com/transla...em/p0289289493&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&history_state0=
My german Diamond2 (MDA Compact V) has a matt finishing battery cover.
With a brushed alu part, around the cam.
.
But looks like it does not fit to the original HTC-device.
Btw. the diamond (MDA Compact IV) had a similar back cover. The T-Mobile-version of the HTC devices always had matt covers instead of the shiny finishined.
I read on Engadget that it'd go for around AU$30 if I remember correctly... or maybe it was more...
I want one aswell... The diamond is a perfect device, But the gloss battery cover... It just isn't my thing.
Although on ebay... They DO sell full housings, Which contains a matte battery cover, costs 60€ though
you may keep the back cover and resell the rest to someone who's housing broke.

It says N.B. The product image is for illustration only, not the actual bettery cover. Doesn't say if it is matt or black plastic though.
Thanks mate, When someone can confirm it's a matt one I'm buying!
Just arrived for the full housing for Topaz with matt cover!
Absolutely the best!
No more fingerprints, scratches or soap effect.
The cover seems rubberized. It is less creaking and more compact.
Definitely needed!
where did you get it, i want one
http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=120407614237\
The matt cover is arrived with the metal front and a set of screwdrivers and plectrum to open the phone.
To have as insurance in case of crash!

That does help me thanks I thought it was Euros because of the Italian language. How long did it take to reach you after ordering?
Ten days: very fast considering the distance!
Hi all, yesterday was a sad day for me as I dropped my hero and have managed to crack the back cover! it's only very slight however i would like to replace it. any know where I can get one?
ill second that because mine makes all the time cracking sounds (cuz of a small tore), anyone here from germany?
Would also like a graphite one, don't like the orange logo :/
Has anyone found one yet?
It might not be worth buying the whole housing but keep an eye on this:-
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/HTC-HERO-Housing-p/htc732830.htm
Maybe they will sell the back cover only in the near future.

wow thats really expensive!!
I normally get OEM replacements from http://cnn.cn, but no housings listed for the Hero as yet.
old thread i know but cnn.cn do now stock back covers, expensive though!
happened to me too. =/ i got one for extreamly cheap on eBay
cover
Glance here:
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=...6.m270.l1313&_odkw=htc,+hero&_osacat=0&bkBtn=
You can buy these from the official HTC Accessory Store in the UK:
Brown (I assume this is Graphite? Or is there a Brown Hero?): http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=190181
Black: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=188331

Hey guys,
My white unlocked Hero has sustained some nasty body scratches plus it is starting to turn yellow. I'm considering a full body replacement. I was only able to find this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/GENINUE-HOUSING-FACEPLATE-FACIA-GOOGLE-G3-HTC-
HERO-WT_W0QQitemZ280402919652QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item41495100e4
Do you think that it's going to be as good as the original one? The seller claims that it's genuine, What do you think?
I found a site that has both the black and white housing for the gsm hero.
http://www.truesupplier.com/faceplate-housing-cover-for-htc-hero-g2-touch-white-color-pr-18489.html
How do I know that it's genuine? or at least as good as the original HTC cover?

The web page is called "truesupplier.com". OF COURSE its genuine
How hard is it to change the housing anyway?
by changing housing you will probably break phone trust me ... and truesupplier housing is oem not genuine by looks of it..
He might not break it if he's careful, and has the proper tools. I've taken apart a few phones without causing any problems.
So unless i'm handy at doing these things, I should not do it myself?
What if I have our local HTC agent do it? Will it at least look as good as new?
i have the white hero and would love to put the black case on it.
the site mentioned above says it comes with the tools needed to change the cover, has any tried doing this?
i would love to go for it but don't want to f*&k my phone up!
i think its not so difficult to switch the cover if you take off the backcover there are 6 screws than open the case from the top of the mobile phone and pull it off
but becarefull maybe there are flatcables from die lcd or the trackball just make it slow and be carefull all the time
and maybe you can find a dissembly how to in google
peace
this site has pics of disassembly of a hero but it's in russian.

If you have to pry the phone open use something plastic so you dont damage the original case. Just in case the ebay housing is rubbish.

whats the difference between oem and genuine
any1 bought replacement white hoising? mine is getting yellow. so need to buy a back cover.
Thinking of buying one myself. I accidentally dropped mine on the tiled floors of my workplace toilets LOL (luckily not IN the toilet). so now there's a little nick on the top left corner of the case.
If this is your first time you will probably scratch the covers but nothing more. You need to be very patient and i will suggest take a look to a good tutorial.
iopened my hero 1 week ago and its so easy maybe in the next days i will upload a video in youtube
bye
I bought the ebay one. It's surprisingly well built (Not Teflon though).
The sad part is that my touch screen got screwed up during the installation. The bottom part of the screen is no longer functional and the sensitivity is messed up overall. Did the replacement in a local phone shop.
Now trying to find a way to fix it.

That would be greatly appreciated!
hmm do you want to sell me your backplate of your old case? i need it please
and to fix your problem : you need a new display glas with digitizer
to remove your old glas: use a hairdryer, you have to heat up the old clue of the old glas and than you can push it easily out of the frame but be carefull not to heatup the frame, the plastic can deform, maybe you can cover it with aluminium foil from the kitchen
the video of the dissembly will be uploaded tomorrow by me
good night guys!

I don't mind giving you my old backcover though it's in a very bad shape (which is why I wanted to replace it in the first place).

Sorry, but I could'nt find the ebay item in your link.
Don't worry about disassembling your Diamond2: I'm not a professional and I could do it without any problem (just a little bit of sweat )
This is a link to a video with the steps to disassembly the D2

Hi,
I bought my housing + touch screen by ebay.
Put "Housing Cover+Touch Screen for HTC Diamond 2 II T5353" in the search box. I bought it to g-plustrading and the quality seems to be the same as the original (well... not the same: I just had to put some extra glue in the metal piece around the cam...)
