HI Everyone,
Ive tried a leather case - didint like it as you have to flip open flaps to access it and makes phone calls akward.
Ive tried an alloy case - you have to open it to use it and use the keyboard
Silicon Case - bad experience using these because I used one on my old Nokia N73 and it still dented the housing when it was dropped.
Now, does anyone know where to get a crystal clear plastic hard case that has 2 parts, one to cover the front and one to cover the back whicl still getting access to the screen. I know the screen wont be protected but a screen protector will do the job of preventing scratches. Also, a swivel belt clip screw mount on the back will be nice too,
I know there are some for the Wizard, but I havent seen any for the Hermes yet. This case will be ideal as you get all the access to the device and you dont hide the beauty of it behind leather and alloy like in other cases.
Any help will be appreciated

Don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I just had a look on eBay and there aren't any listed there. I would have thought that if anybody was manufacturing such a case that they would be available on FleaBay.
I posted an almost identical post requiring the same thing not so long ago- no repsonses as of yet!
These are widely available for many other 'slider' phones but not yet for our one.
Ive sent two request to Boxwave. Their response is need more request.
I have been looking for a Crystal Case before I even got my 8525. I love this type of case. Sadly though it doesn't exist yet.
If you guys gohere and request an Active Case maybe we will have one soon. Note you must select Active Case because the web page loads with a check mark next to the ClearTouch Anti-Glare and that's not the same.
yep, i put in a request.
this type of case will be ideal as it will show the sleek lines of the tytn/jasjam, protect it, and allow keyboard access without unclipping anything.
what could be simpler....?
i think the best bet is going to be check with boxwave to see when they get it, i personally did not like the crystal clear on my 8125 it just felt wrong i gave it to one of my coworkers

What felt so wrong about it?
During a mtb-trip the TP2 accidently fell out of my back pocket and got heavily scratched on the chrome shell just outside of the LCD screen. (thank god the screen got protected by the screen protector)
Would it be possible to replace this Chrome Shell and if so where to buy it?
thx
That chrome shell is apparently called a bezel (didn't know that - am not a native speaker) and that made searching quite a bit easier.
Ebay did the trick:

The chrome benzel is plastic painted or metal?

Chromed plastic
can we install this chrome bezle on the tmobiel version?
I doubt you can put it on the t-mobile version. Their version seems to be more square at the edges. But this is cool for the rest of the versions, I could put this on my sprint one when I get it.
This is only the front side right?
I'm kind of looking for a back cover. I've found one at cnn.cn but it contained both for the price of $90 approx.
Random question I hope I got this in the right thread
Has anyone ever bought a new shell for there whole phone and assembeled it themselves?
As i saw this on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/for-HTC-Touch...s_JN?hash=item45ed6fbded&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
I thought it looked kind of cool and a good way to personalise your phone but i have no idea how hard this would be, any ideas?
Thanks
Rather than get a new one for 30 sumthing bucks, why don't you remove it, sand it and then have it painted black or even chrome?
It'll cost you a lot lesser. A black unbranded HTC TP2 should look awesome. The one from Verizon looks killer.
Have you ever done this? What sort of paint would you use? I don't think this would work as well as you think it would...

I'm sure modeling paint would work fine.

I'm not. I would suspect vinyl dye is what you want.
All those "OEM" replacement housings and such are crap.
They never fit like the original.
Think twice before trying to replace something like that, there are alot of little pieces and flat cables.
I`ve been modding playstations and such for years so i`m experienced to say the least but I wouldnt risk my tp2 for it.
ive tried this with my old phone...
it does not work well.. i tried with different kinds of paint, primer, sealer, clear coated afterwards... it doesnt work
the plastic housing we have and can get are dyed into the plastic.. its not painted or coated..
the minute you put it in your pocket or it hits your keys or something.. it will chip off...
i have the tmobile version....i thought i had got permanent marker on the gold part of the phone, but do any of u know if it is black paint under the gold?
i was thinking of getting a battery cover and spraying it black. Would it work?
i have painted alot of mobiles luckly for me my m8s dad owns a car paint factory i spreyed one chrome and used 2pac laqueer on the top ot was minted i may chrome my whole tp2 i am gonna w8 till warrenty runs out
anyone has experience with assemling/disassembling this chrome shell..?
i've got a big scratch/dent and i would like too buy a new one but it seems like it's pretty too get it off.. let alone getting the new one on, in one piece
Tilt 2 chrome bezel
Anyone know of a source for the chrome bezel on my AT&T Tilt 2?
Ron
Calif
I want to install the AT&T's Chrome frame on my Sprint phone and was just wandering if I buy the bezel does it include the power button? and if not does anyone know where I can get it?
I was searching around and could not find a gel/TPU type clear case for the G1...for those of you who do not know...here is one example of a Nexus One case like what I would want:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Soft-Case-TPU...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item746a91e417
I know they do not show a completely clear one, but that is the material/type of case I would like. It is not like a typical silicone case -it is slightly like a hard case being that it does not bend as easily and it is not floppy at all.
Any ideas?
Heres the problem that I see...
How would you open the keyboard with that cover overlapping the front of the phone? That would probably be the reason those style covers don't exist for the G1.
As my fellow Oregonian said.. Soft cases and a slide keyboard won't really work.. If you look at the hard shells you'll see how the screen has it's own little part that clips on.. soft shells wrap instead of clip on...
I fail to see why they could not have a separate piece to put on the screen...?
If there is no such case... then could someone recommend a thin, yet tough, hard case? (preferably clear)
soft cases can't clip onto the screen part that has to slide up...
but here's something i found with decent reviews for the other colors.. clear hasn't been rated yet

Yeah I understand what you mean and thanks for that info...but - I was thinking not of a soft case 'clipping' onto the screen but you could slip a cover over it or around it -I am SURE there is some way to do it....

LOL WOW THANK YOU!!!! How did you find that ? it should not be labeled as silicone (I think)..... wow that is exactly what I am looking for! I knew it was possible.... any way - I wish it didnt cost so much, the others I see like it(on other phones) is significantly cheaper (like under $5.00 with shipping included).... If I cannot find any cheaper ones I will order that one...
Thanks again, I cant believe you found just what I was looking for...

yea that case is rocking . I as well was looking for something like this! Thanks!! hey erebusting did you order it? did ya like it?
I ordered the clear one, and it came in yellowish like it was old or like someone was smoking around it or something.... the seller gave me a refund because he said they had no more, but I think that all the clear ones were just as yellow ? who knows....
also when you hold the phone in portrait mode on the top right and left corners of the keyboard section the case left a small gap on each side maybe about 1-2 millimeters as if it was slipping off...
Other than all that I liked it, but would not use it because it makes my phone look yellow / ugly... if I had a case like that with these flaws fixed then I would use it.

LMAO...Reading this was funny for some reason
Can you post some pictures? And would you recommend it? I am looking for a new case for my phone, and this one is one that I am considering
I had this case. I had a screen protector on, and the extra height of the screen protector made the screen portion of the case slip off. If you don't use a screen protector, it might work for you. I bought a Seidio case and never looked back. Super thin, rugged plastic. Comes in black so it blends into the phone.

zinite, I understand that, but see I do also have a screen protector on but the section of the case which goes on the screen is fitting fine, the section for the body is the part I have the complaint about. I will definately check out some Seidio cases now that you have mentioned that.
SolemnWishing, Here are some pictures of the case next to a clear hard case (which is actually clear and not yellow...)
Ace42, glad you got a laugh! haha...BTW I am wondering why you were laughing though, kind of odd to me ATM...
WOW! that case is really yellow. i was thinking about getting one thinking it wont be that yellow. but that is definitely gross smoker yellow
Dang... it looks like someone left that out in the sun for like a year or something..
Guess you know what happens to these cases when you have em for awhile... I've long given up on G1 cases: with a simple screen protector you should be on your way. I love the feel of the back of the G1, and a case would only screw that up.

I also love the feelings of the G1 without a case, but I have dropped my previous phones too many times to take that chance... haha
Any ways... Those pictures are from the same day of receiving that case, so it must be some fault on the seller....
its really a disappointment since there are no other cases (that I can find that is) like that for the G1...
any other recommendations/ideas?
Wondering if anyone seen some back cover replacements? Like a white, red, it carbon?
Do you mean a replacement battery cover? If so I thought the same thing and I've been looking but it's hard to even find the original. I really don't see the need for a case when most of the sides and back are the battery cover. I think different backs would sell well if someone would make em. I would rather not paint it like in the other thread.

Exactly . No need for.q case if I can save the original back cover and use a 3rd party one.
Hey guys,
I'm searching for an case for my evo 3d, which doesn't makes it fat. Is there anything which replaces the original battery cover, just with another design? Normal cases you have to put on the original battery cover, what i hate, because the phone becomes in my opinion more fat and heavier.
Is there anything like the thing described above available? And if it is, can I get this in Europe (Germany)?
Personally, I like TPU cases. They don't make the phone too fat. But they do thicken it.
What you're talking about is a good idea, but it wouldn't really offer protection for the corners?
The only thing I can think of right now is one of those Zagg Invisible Shields.
It's like a screen protector that goes on the whole phone.
It offers scratch protection, but for falls, it's not that great.
Well, protection is not that important for me. I just want another backside, maybe I could even design it myself. On my old DHD I had an normal case, and it felt much thicker, what i actually don't like.
Maybe you're looking for something like this?

I can't paint it myself, it would fail so hard when I'd try it, because I am really bad at art^^. Creating an design online isn't possible, or?
EDIT: I just found a website, which offers the possibility to design an own skin for the EVO 3D and other phones. It's like a sticker then I can attach to my phone.

I'm pretty sure there are other websites for it too.
But that one looks good for you since you're in Germany.
Remember it's a sticker though, it'll eventually get damaged. Also, it offers very little protection.
