Well last night was a good night. Playing pool, using msn and sending a few texts when... the shiny new HD went waltzing out of the palm of my hand and then... WHACK... right onto the edge of a table eek denting and chipping the damn front housing. Not ammused one bit
So my question for you boys and girls is... a front cover for the old Touch HD. Does anyone know where to get one from please?
Tried several chaps in Hong Kong via ebay but no joy.
Guessing the answer to this would come in pretty useful to more than just myself who has suffered this kind of cruel fate

hello
you can buy from me for completely at $150
HTC TOUCH HD T8282 BLACKSTONE HOUSING+CHASIS+COVER
regard
anyone in the UK selling these please? thanks
and that priceabove is quite high! you can get the cover and digitiser for $10 more on ebay.
Saw a complete housing @ brando for $ 79.50, so it's far cheaper than ugn53's.
Shipment seems cheap also.
BTW, never bought from brando, so I have no experience with them.
I've bought Screen protectors from Brando in the past. Their website is trustworthy.
Sorry to hear about your predicament. Hope it works out. (I'd die if the same happened to my HD !)
This is why i insure my phones... i pay nothing luckly due to my contract but 6 quid for others and it covers accidental damage and loss. I have used in on my old phones (Kaiser and Hermes ETC) i have a 15 quid excess....
Insurance???
I have Orange Care to but... how can you wangle it so i can get one on insurance for something like this? Surely you'd have to tell a porkie somewhere along the lines, wouldn't you?
Nice but not quite right...

Sadly mate, if you look at the contents of that package, it says nothing about a FRONT cover... have a look.......
Features
Replacement housing for your HTC Touch HD.
Package Contents
One middle chassis
One back cover
One battery cover
Nice effort though!
Sorry for you mishaps but at least it didn't hit your screen...
Insurance...
... so that was a decent idea. If anyone fancies doing what i did should they get into this situation, i just rang orange SIM upgrades, registered my new SIM, waited 10 mins and then rang through to Orange insurance.
Told them i simply copied my contacts over and upon switching SIM's back while i waited for my new one to be activated, the brand new HD, due to being very shiny and a little bit slippery (weell thay are a bit, aren't they!) wen right through my hand and hit my desk leaving a very nasty dent with a rough edge.
£15 quid later, a new one is out to me between 9 and 1pm tomorrow
Happy days are here again! lol
*THINK* Now, should i stick the Orange ROM back in it?! LOL

just smash the screen with a hammer and tell them your phone decided to fly out of your hands onto your very hard marble kitchen floor

No need. Told em i did the sim swap as they told me to for insurance purposes and it fell out of my hand due to being shiny and handed on the edge of my desk. That's the truth... almost! Cost me 15 quid but hey, i was in credit anyway so no biggie!!!
me sits in teh corner and cries - little un decided it would be fun to scrape my phone face down across a stone fireplace - no insurance = unhappy zoomee.

Hi
i am facing a similar problem mate , my HD slipped out of my hand and bang hit the asphalt in the street , the bottom part of the front cover got a nasty dents.
I went to HTC care center in Dubai and they confirmed i cant replace the frame alone , i have to replace the whole LCD . Check page 88 of the service manual.
The cost of replacing it would be 234.128 USD (860 AED).
i wont pay that for a dent , at least for the time being , the device is fully functional.

I'm curious, was it actually a new handset?
Because Orange tend to just give out refurbs.
Hey guys, When I used to use a Blackberry, I went bought a rubborized protector (something like this but black).

The Gelskin from boxwave is nice it covers all of the outside of the phone. Put a screen protector like invisishield and the phone is well protected.
Hey everyone, I made this post to ask around and see if anyone has tried out the ZAGG Invisible shield for the Mytouch Slide, and what do you all think about it.
I'm thinking of buying it but would like to get some feedback first.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
I have it on my slide it has allready saved my screen my daughter dropped mine and it scratched the screen shield and it saved my screen.They have a lifetime warranty they are a little difficult to put on so if you are getting it at a store let them do the install and whatever you do make sure you leave your phone of for 12 to 24 hours. 1 is it helps and all the bubles realease and 2 they use a liquid spray on each piece when they install it.And you dont want anything wet when you turn it back on. I swear by mine. And I live in Utah where they are headquartered.I have an in so I get alot of free skins and stuff.
I wont use any protector that requires a spray or water to apply the protector. I'm waiting for the plastic static cling protectors to come out. I used them on my G1 all the time and they are simple to put on without any bubbles and plus the are pretty cheap. These new rubbery screen protectors feel weird, they say its some high tech military material or some garbage. I just want a simple plastic protector that sticks to the screen with no solution. There's a ton for the G1 I dont know why they havent released any for the slide yet.
I'm not too sure about Invisible Shield, but I recently installed a bodyguardz full body protector on my slide and so far I love it. The major advantage I see over invisible shield is that, for about the same price, bodyguardz gives you two sets of protectors in case you botch the first installation (which I did). Overall, after a few days after the second installation I only have a few small bubbles and I actually love the feel of it overall... since installing the protector, I have found it much more easier to type accurately in swype, but that may just be me. There is also no negative effect on the touch screen in any way if you were worried about that.

Thanks a lot! I actually never even thought to check T-Mobile and the last time I checked e-bay all I could find are those new ones that require that spray or water. I just bought these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...Category=20336&_trkparms=algo=LVI&its=I&otn=2 I'll let you guys know how they are. I can also tell you NOT to order these http://www.amazon.com/EZguardZ-T-Mo..._1_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1278542660&sr=8-1 I bought them and they are trash, literally thats where they ended up in my trash lol.
Thanks for the info, and everyone's feedback, I went ahead and decided to get the ZAGG shield full body, try it out and see what happens, I tried the T-mobile ones and they just had too many scratches too quick, hopefully ZAGG won't let me down.

invisable shielde
whats up man. i just wanted to let you know about my personal expirences with invisible shields. i personally have had one on every htc phone ive ever owned (touch pro, touch pro II, HD2, and now the mytouch slide 3G) and i love pretty much everything about them. they seriously are nearly scratch proof and honestly, during a fall it will protect your phone for the most part. installation can be a pain in the a$$, but you just have to brave about it and use plenty of the spray. use it ilberally on the actual shield and your finger-tips and it will make it pretty easy to position it. on the back peice just go ahead and soak that thing cuz its hard to get it right the first time. luckily if you do mess up, these things come with a lifetime replacement warrenty. all you have to do is give them back the old shield and they'll hook you up with a brand new one . once you figure it out though you'll appreciate it a lot. it gives the phone a really nice feel and it keeps it really well protected. me personally, i like to pair a full body invisible shield with a regular t-mobile screen protector. the reasoning behind this is, one, that ive discovered that it is nearly impossible to get the screen portion of the invisible shield on without bubbles underneth it for some reason (possibly because of how slick the screen is compared to the body of the phone?). and two, a touch screen is meant to be glided around on. it should be nice and slick and feel extremely smooth tothe touch, not all rubbery and sticky when warm. and finally, because it just plain looks better, straight up. your not going to get the same clean look of the plastic protector as you are from an invisible shield. yes the standard protectors are easier to scratch, but thats why they come in three packs. so you can replace em when nessesary. i find it easiest to place the protector down on the screen and position it properly, then take a piece of scotch tape and tape the side. that way you can peel up the backing and lay it down properly with a credit card as to get it perfectly positioned and without bubbles. if you follow my instructions you should be able to install with ease . ive really liked every invisible shield ive had, and the only problem ive found with them is that after time the edges of the shield will get dirty because of the adhesive on the back slowly being pressed out over time. that and the edges sometimes come up. but thats why they come with a warrenty, so you can replace em all you want . i tend to replace mine every 4 to 6 months. in the end i found that its a worth it investment if your the kind of person that wants to protect your phone but doesnt want to add a bunch of bulk to the phone from a case. it really allows the beauty of the phone to come out while still being protected. anyways, i hope my review will help you with your installation and help anyone else reading with their choice on wheather or not to purchase an invisible shield. i really like mine, and i hope you like yours too. enjoy
I have had the invisible shield on my last 3 phones and it is clean, discrete and it does everything that it is suppose to. I personally pay the extra money to have the representative put it on for me and call it a day. You will not be disappoint in the product and the others are just plain cheap and inefficient.

Went to the local ZAGG store and they finally had it, and I got it lol, now I got one and one coming in the mail, but I must say the full body extreme coverage is nice, feels a bit rubbery but the grip is awesome! So I must say my hat is off to you ZAGG.

That's the one that I ordered. The full body extreme. And the rubbery feeling should be nice since the phone is so slippery anyway.
Where can you buy these locally? I don't want to put my own on.

Hello new galaxy S3 owner here and I found a problem with this fon. The problem is that it scratches very fast if your not careful. So I was using it for 2-3 weeks and noticed scratches on the back of the phone so I went to the shop and bought a bumper. After like a month I started to noticed little scratches on the screen. If you look very carefully you can see them. Now I worry about the camera and the glass on cam. Is there like a better glass or is it the same as on screen? How do you guys protect your SGS3? I was thinking about buying screen protector ...
Sorry for bad english or if this thread allready exists.
Solution 1: Don't touch your phone
Solution 2: Get the screen protector
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
hh think that the first one is the best solution I'm just a bit worried for the camera... I can get an screen protector but haven't found anything for camera.
For camera lens:
Solution1:Cut the screen protector and stick it
Solution2: Get a case which will avoid lens touching on any hard surface
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I was thinking about buying 2 screen protectors and cut one for the cam lens. I was woundering how do you guys have your SGS3 protected? Cause I was hoping that I can use my phone with out any case like you know iPhone. It is made of glass but still good glass not that scratchable. Had SG Ace before, need to get used to bumper
Get a screenprotector (transparent, anti-glare, mirror or private) and use a case which covers the whole back and side.
Then ur good to go!

Hi there.. The first thing you do before even switch the phone on is buy a rubber pouch which will protect your phone including the camera.The pouch sits lower then the camera lens so you cant damage it even if you wanted to....Next you buy the screenguard. After putting the screenguard on and putting the phone in the pouch then start using your phone. Do this and your phone will still look brand new after 5years...:good:
I dont Get this.i have 2 sgs,1 gs2 and have had my gs3 since 10/6 and no scratches,even though i always put my keys against the front glass in my pocket,so i don't scratch the back.i have dropped my gs3 twice 1 time on concrete and once on asphalt,only damage is on the edges,quite bad looking and riffled but not a scratch on the screen and i have never used any protection..
And the way i have treated both gs2 and sgs with bashing and throwing them around and they still work and not a scratch on the glass.
I agree that gs3 seems more fragile than sgs and gs2 and i wouldn't throw the gs3 as i think it would break..
Maybe ive been lucky with my gs3.But nevertheless not single scratch on my gs3.
I am sorry to say but its really stupid if someone is using a smartphone without screen protector and back cover. Never Trust your hands in this case
the safest thing you can do for your mobile is buy a case and put your mobile inside it. scratch guard depends on how you use/handle your mobile, as u already see micro scratches u need to stick a scratch guard as soon as possible
Has anyone found a weatherized case similar to the Lifeproof cases for the iPhone? All the ones I can find look like a ziplock. Thanks in advance for any help. Sorry for not having a link, this is my first post I've been lurking for years and never needed to ask a question before, but that brand of case in the address bar should take you there.

Hey, 1st post here as well. Sadly i have been searching around for something similar. noting pops up yet. But im thinking of sending my lumia 920 to Liquipel ( the company that does chemical treatment so that ur phone becomes water resistant). and maybe slap on the full body skin protection also afterwords. should be an almost-as-good alternative. anyways. enjoy ur lumia..

Hadn't heard of Liquipel but after looking at them they may be a good choice. Too bad they don't have pricing for the Lumia 920 yet.
Have none of you heard of ottorbox defenders? They are weather proof. Not water proof, but water resistant. I have mine in an ottorbox and I could throw on the floor or against the wall and it would not get any damage. Walk in the rain, no problem, go swimming? Yep then you have a problem. Of course if it is that weather tight then you also sacrifice function as far as access to ports, speakers, microphones, and even possibly touch screen.
Wireless Charging
Hi All
Can you use wireless charging with Ottorbox defender cases?
Thanks

I have the defender on my 920 and a Nokia wireless charger. It has no issue working through the defender. In fact you can hold the phone about a half inch or 13mm above the charger and it will still work. The only case that you would have an issue with is one that was made of metal, or was metalized.
