Looks like they are selling the case alone for the Athena. Good way of getting rid of all scratches on your device.

not much use if youve got the silver one though! much as it's usable without the keyboard i think the resale value of the item would be harmed if the keyoard and case didnt match! good find though.
actually it seems they have a silver housing too - with a full keyboard. Shame they dont have a black keyboard, though it is a little pricey for my liking anyway unless your case is totally trashed!
hmm interesting....it has the port for the front cam....is it possible to purchase this and fron vga cam and install it on a non-equiped front cam athena?

I didn't think you could get cover against cosmetic damage as this doesn't affect the usability of the device.
Silver looks sooooo much worse than black in this device. I wish T-Mobile wouldn't insist on creating and marketing the most unflattering varients of HTC's devices. Look at the Vario ii (TyTn) - pink, black and silver. I was blinded by the specifications when it first came out but subsequently I've come to realise how ****ty it looks. The only thing Orange UK get right in my opinion is that they always seem to release smarter and more professional-looking versions of these handsets.
Id love to swap from silver to the black one! My silver case is thrashed because i dont use any kind of carry case.
The keyboard is bent, dented and the silver is wearing off....
I want that black case, with KB, and for half the price. $100 for a metal case?!

It's only that expensive because in relation to the sum of all the World's Mobile Phone owners hardly anyone owns an Athena, since its size and expense is generally unappealing. If as many people owned one as own Nokia N95s then cases would be a quarter of the price.
As it stands we pay through the nose for having something most people don't.

Ok so I bought a clear case here And while working, I was inspired by A black and silver Ford GT sitting in our shop. Here are the results.
that looks pretty good. may i ask where did you buy your case.
eBay
You can buy it from eBay a seller "e2" in Hong Kong, but shipping just about a full month. I bought 2 and am using none of them. They are garbage because the holders (places where plastic pieces stickout) will scratch your phone no matter what. Overtime, the places where the case is held on the phone will be pressed leaving the paint on the phone depressed and scratched. Otherwise it will protect the phone real good.

They are not the highest in quality, and it took ten days shipping. But it sounds like you need to trim the "flash" around the tabs, you can also cut the tabs off and use little pieces of 2-sided tape, which will solve all of your mentioned problems.. for less than $5.00 and you can paint 'em any color you want, I ain't complaining!

VERY NICE PIMP! Very nice indeeed. an affortable and less dodgy way to do it
What paint you used? And sorry if I am blind, but you painted the cases you bought, not the phone itself, right ?
And BTW, looks ...WOOW
Nice job!
that reminds me of a friend of mine who once owned one of the cheapest polish cars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polski_Fiat_125p) and painted id in similar way (actually he made quite lot of modding inside as well, including chrome-metallic parts that resembled washing machine in a way
oh well, there's been a lot of fun with this piece of junk... and the guy's nickname is still "Viper" ;]
oh yeah. i forgot to mention i like this mod a lot, looks very cool!!

I am a Developmental Marketing Technician for Ford Motor Co. I pulled the "Paint Codes" from the door of the GT in the Third Picture. And used PPg enamel paint. I think any paint will work?! And yes I painted the inside. I screwed up the stripes (they should be wider and closer together). But I was in a hurry, I did it on my lunch hour, and still had time to eat! The paint looks really good!! The clear Plastic makes it look like a super thick clear-coat!! I spent a little time on a bench buffer with it. But the paint will never scratch, because it is inside!!
[HINT]
Oh yeah, a little Tip if you decide to try!!! After spraying the inside, no matter how well you mask it, you will end up with a mist of paint on the outside. A little polishing compound and a soft rag removes it like magic!!
Here is a Link to a picture of the case without the phone
congratulations
anione knows if this clear case exist for i- mate k-jam or qtek 9100??

Pardon my poor language.. but what do you mean by "flash"?
Just dropped my phone a few hours ago and extremely upset... Luckily it was in its case but a coupla corners still got damaged
I was about to purchase a replacement housing but seeing this post, this would be a much cheaper alternative... Just gotta think of a theme now and find an artist...
Do you know if anyone sells it without that circle on the back?

Flash means when a plastic piece is cast, a small amount of plastic is left over that needs to be trimmed, or it could leave a jagged edge.
The circle on the back gives it a stable base when you lay the phone down...

Sorry I missed your post hope you enjoy it!!
man, why dont they sell these cases in the stores?????
that's a pretty damn good job, nice work!!
My wizzard 's casing is pretty beat up due to me dropping it, just laying it down on concrete, etc. I'm really thinking about actually sanding and 'polishing' the body of it to make it more shiny/get rid of scratches....and then buy a hardcase to go over that...
Wow... tahts the nicest case i've ever seen. Nice job... you should resell your case... =]
I did the same thing(well, solid black). It looks awsome from the front, but I cant get the back to really fit to the phone. I don't know if its my phone or if I just got a bad case.
I think I would have a little trouble returning it painted black though!
After using the phone for tow weeks the dark gray part of the case (midle body) start to foil down like a nail polish and the gray paint is slowly going off revealing a black material. Did any one else have same problem ???? Some solutions ??? I know maybe is not such a big deal the device is a great tool and this is a small meter!! but i was thinking maybe is possible to wash off the painture until the black color of the material!!! any one did this ???
Many thanks for every body who participate in here!!! This is a great forum !!! the answer to my all questions is here!!!
I've seen the same on my 9100, but only on the right-hand side (the one with the camera & voice buttons). I haven't bothered to do anything about it, but I do keep the phone in a leather case, so the flaking shouldn't get much worse.
That the black paint comes off the device is a problem with all Wizards it seems....I have it also and I don't really like it.
Does anybody here know if there are Wizard cases for sale ....anywhere ?
Mine has that problem too...well, i helped a bit so..now it doesn't have any paint on it.

White G1 Housing, Attempt
I have just purchased a white g1 Housing set for $50, don't call me retarded, money wasn't really an issue for me and I hate the bronze color. Anyway, has anyone actually attempted this and successfully got it functioning afterwards? Any quick replies would be awesome, ty!
do a search for the service manual. Its floating around out there. This gives a step by step on how to take apart and put back together the dream
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468673
Let me know how this goes. Curious as to the difficulty level.
What condition is your bronze casing in? lol I have a black, but prefer the bronze.
It's in perfect condition, I only got the phone like 2 weeks ago. No scratches or scuffs, I just prefer a different color. I'm going to give this thing a go lol, unless you're talking about a trade or something.
as long as you follow the service manual perfectly (it's pretty in-depth) then you should have no problems. doesn't look too hard to take apart, just ****ing time consuming
wanna link me to the website where you bought this housing?
i wanted white also.

Anyone found a replacement housing with memory card cover?
I have dropped my phone and will be eventually looking to replace the housing.
But all the adverts on ebay(uk), none of them seem to list the memory card cover. I could use my original, but I kinda fancy a change to white! ;-)
Anyone know where to get this cover?
Thanks,
Really really sorry to bump this.....
Anyone had any luck finding spare G1 memory card covers?
Little surprised no one else is interested in this issue, especially if they fancy changing their housing (for repair/colour change) in the future.
As far as I can see, none of the sellers on ebay include this cover, so don't lose it or wreck it!
I dont think the G1 has enough of a market to mass produce housings, ebay is prob your best bet. You can try contacting HTC and see if they can give you a lead but other than that I think you'll have to look for someone with a bricked phone.
EDIT: Sorry, forgot u were lookin for mem card cover
@Edit: No problem; glad you noticed before I got round to typing reply!
Like I said, every single ebay listing I have seen does not include it.
Just seems a strange thing to for them to miss out, anyone know a reason?

I have been using my T-Mobile TP2 without protection on it for a while and have dropped it a few times. The screen is still perfect and the lower half (keyboard) has relatively no damage other than a few spots of chipped paint.
But the upper half, around the edges, has took quite a bit of damage. Mostly chipped pieces and dents, partially because of me dropping it and also because the bodyguard I was using previously damaged it! It was one of those crappy snap-on ones. Will never get one again, just bought ghost armor.
Anyway my question is what is the best way to repair the chipped pieces and dents or is that piece sold somewhere so I could replace it? I have no experience replacing things on the phone but I'm sure if there's a tutorial anywhere it wouldn't be too hard for me. Besides I"m not trying to disassemble the entire thing just the upper portion without the screen.
Any help appreciated.

I am trying to locate a replacement front HW button (back key is either cracked or scratched and light shows through) - so, during the lcd repair process, is this button easily replaceable without getting too involved with any other components?

Get a new housing from eBay.
Just be careful to get one that fits your version.
My phone was stolen at work on Friday, so I managed to scramble and find one at a good price on eBay and it arrived this morning.
While I did ask to see photos, and I expected some scuffs, the photos didn't do the device justice at all, as it's much worse than I expected. In all the time I've owned my devices, I've never dropped my phone once, not once! this thing's a disaster.
So I'll need to get a replacement housing. I've been looking at eBay but couldn't see anything except these ridiculous colored housings for teens and 20-somethings. Where do real adults get the housings from?
This is an excellent outer shell protector, gives better heft holding (IMHO), rubberized black, very lightweight. Just snaps on and off.
Auction ended, but locate seller store. My Tilt2 fit perfectly in the Touch Pro Verizon except camera button needed cutting shell (trivial task).

You could take it up with eBay for SNAD, probably get a refund depending on the exact wording of the add, but if it was really SNAD should do it.

As for the eBay complaint issue, I did think about it, but eBay is such a PITA about any disputes; they always act as though they don't want to get involved at all. In the end, I'll eat this one caveat emptor, at least this time.

Always pay with your credit card through PayPal. Ebay and PayPal suck at disputes; your credit card company is your fall-back and your best protection as well.

Great, thanks for the tip! I'll have to look into this closer, as I think if I go with the Touch Pro 2 OEM housing, there'll be a hole for the front-facing camera.
Maybe I'll just deal with it for now and keep my eyes open for an AT&T Tilt 2 housing somewhere. If it wasn't so beat up, I'd try a warranty exchange through AT&T; I was able to do it when I purchased a used BlackBerry Bold 9700 with no problem.

Hi there!
I've a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 that is quite beat up too & I want to replace the whole housing.
Problem is where I'm living right now, the T-Mobile housing costs double of the standard Touch Pro 2 housing.
Is it possible to fit the motherboard, flex cable & LCD panel of the T-Mobile onto a HTC Touch Pro 2 casing with the power button?
I would need the touch screen & call/navigation buttons as well.
Please advise me if you know anything about this.
Thanks!

I'm afraid I don't know myself, but if you keep searching, I'm sure there is someone who's done it and knows for sure.

Phantomskinz just released their tf skinz w00t. I really like how smooth their screen protector is and how the carbonfiber chromatics look on. My evo shift.
Too bad they don't have a matching set for the dock or id be tempted to get the chromatics (maybe even the white one this time around) again. Guess I'm just gonna get the screen protector for now
Anyway, really recommend it, specially if you think the tf screen produces too much friction.

Looks like the Chromatics are $5 cheaper on Amazon.
Black Carbon Fiber: http://amzn.to/lP0lxm
White Carbon Fiber: http://amzn.to/k6dLT8
Didn't know they sold via amazon as well.
Either way...I just contacted them about skins for the dock and they said they don't have any plans for it. Not really interested in a half dressed tablet so I'm just gonna go with the screen protector.
Now to decide wether to get my tf replaced due to a single spec of dust under the screen...before I put the screen protector on.

skinomi has GREAT support.
Basically what happened was I got my skinomi carbon fiber silver
a week ago and my ASUS Transformer sadly had to go through an RMA
due to my speakers dead =/
I already applied the skin and now i have to remove them due to RMA.
I told skinomi this and they were able to resolve this issue and send me a REPLACEMENT for free.
Now thats great company right there and they should see my business from now on.
I didn't even had to return an old one or pay any shipping or deduction fees.

I like the screen protector although it is not as hard as others; it has a nice touch to it but is easily dented by fingernails etc.

i noticed that as well with my evo shift. when applying the skin, trying to remove all the air bubbles, i might have pressed to hard on certain areas, and those parts of the skins are now a bit stressed.
that the only thing keeping me from getting it. although i wonder if that's the compromise to prevent the orange-peel effect some other skins have, and phatomskinz doesn't.
I just talked to phantomskinz and they say the protect does not reduce glare and that is one of the big things I want to improve. Can anyone confirm this?

It doesn't reduce glare. It is as shiny (the screen) as it is naked.
For those wondering, the carbon skin (and probably the clear one as well, although im not sure) is 9 pieces.
I attached some pictures of it installed. Sorry the pictures are not too clear. I had to reduce the size due to the upload limit for attachments. I can take the pictures again if someone wanted better ones.
wow..$35 dollars for stickers? these companies are minting money.
@skapur, well, it's not just a sticker. it comes with a clear screen protected, and the "sticker" is made of vinyl, and cut for the device. that being said, yea, way overpriced.
@cal
yes please. mind taking shots of the seams? also, do you have the dock? how does it look without matching bottoms? would you recommend it?
I don't need a signature.
Was really interested in getting a Phantomskinz, but alas, they don't ship to HK.

By seams, do you mean where the pieces end?
I just got the dock this week. It is a little snug, but I dont know if it is because of the skin+screen protector because I never got to try the dock without it on. The dock did leave a line of imprint on the bottom of the screen protector where the docking "v" or "u" slides over the tablet.
I think it looks a little funny without the dock having a matching skin, but I have gotten used to it.
Ive had the skin+ screen protector on for around 2 weeks now and nothing has peeled or anything. The only thing is that they cut around the speakers so the skin is very thin on the sides of it (on the screen and backside side) and it has folded inward. But not a major problem for me.
