Looking for one too ! Not sure if it fits Qtek 9090. Does it ?
you might want to try searching on ebay.
the last time when i was surfing, i found 1 guy selling the whole front part including the screen n keyboard, for 99 pound i supposed.
Check around guys, I have definitely seen them on sale from a proper E-tailer.

Mini Pro Battery Cover

Has anybody seen these for sale yet in other colours?
My wife really wanted a red one but could only find black so has anybody seen these anywhere?
Thanks
on ebay

i think these are fake i am not really sure i've been looking for covers too but i cant find anywhere other than ebay
That eBay one is for the Mini and not the Mini Pro
Are they the same cover on both?
The Mini and the Mini Pro does not have the same battery cover.
I am looking for a black cover. When I bought the Mini Pro the store only had red ones left...
Want to swap?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I contacted the seller of item 160448617601 on eBay (sorry, can't post links yet) and they replied saying they'll be stocking covers for the Pro when they're available if that helps.
Hello
I'm in french and i just bought X10 mini (not pro) . There are 2 covers : One black , one red
Haven't seen any myself either - I was looking for a new one after I scuffed my Mini Pro on a wall in a drunken stumble last night ><
I checked Ebay and cnn.cn none of these places have the battery cover with xperia logo label !!! if they are OEM why are they missing the xperia label?!?!?!
Besides why cant SE sell these covers as accessories?

If not differently advertised cnn.cn has only original spares, I bought many things and a I was always satisfied.
P.S. atm cnn has the dummies, maybe it's cover is functional.
Trying to help
I don't know if this help but...
Maybe.
Go to ebay and search for 170518830403 or this one 140441560960
They claim to be original...
I dunno, by the way.
those are X10 mini covers not X10 mini PRO... i've been searching for ages myself but couldn't find anything. so desperate to change my black cover for a white so that it matches my white X10
EDIT: Just found some on ebay. search for 380260605730, 300457269274 and 380260605730. Snatched the white one for myself. They seem legit but they are missing the xperia sticker at the back
I found dummy x10 mini pro cost $36.99 from cnn.cn but it's too expensive to buy it only for the back cover. As the phone is for demonstrating/advertaising purposes i'm not expecting good quality.

I've just ordered the red one. For that sort of money, I am happy to take a punt.
Will let you know when they arrive in a few weeks
Received my new cover yesterday, ordered a week ago
Went with this one: 380260605716
It fits perfect, looks good, only lacks the Xperia-sticker. It do has a sort of matte, almost rubbery finish, in contrast to the more shiny front of the phone.

Yes
Mine has arrived and I must admit that the quality is as good as the one that came with the phone.
My wife is happy with it (which is all that really matters) however I am not convinced that the red back looks right with a black front but each to their own.
In any case, if you want a red back, these can be recommended.

Rubber cases

I used to have a bberry with an Otterbox rubber case, anyone know if an Xperia one is due? Or, what's a good alternate high quality one.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
you can buy em for around $5 or less, last time i paid about $10 for the same kind.
search for "xperia hard case" i like it, but i prefer a polish finished like the incase slider.
Thanks, i'll look into that. I picked one up from a 'generic' phone accessory store and its ok, but you can tell its cheap. I wondered if a carbon fibre back had been produced yet too. That would be trick.
A friend of mine and I bought the Xperia X10 and they both came with leather pouches. We in South Africa so i guess they did us a lil favour

where to buy replacement housing for X10?

I did a search on XDA and on Google, but everywhere I try only turns up black and white cases. I'd really like a blue or red. anyone know where I can buy a third-party replacement housing for the X10?
I think there are only black and white available... You will have to spray it yourself! ^^
How much cost it? I need white case.
I'm from Chile

Nice thanks for the site
Another site is cnn.cn; I used to buy parts for my k750i from them. But it sells the X10 replacement housing at a slightly higher price, compared to shop.brando.
However, it also offers more replacement parts (e.g. USB cover, front keypad, side buttons).
I need a new back cover.
Does anyone know if the "dummy phones" >HERE< have a real back cover or not?

Official White Cover

Does anyone know where one is available from for the Lumia 800?
I seen a pic on Amazon but they do not seem have have listed the product
amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005WU1NWM/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&psc=1
Are there any alternatives that are the same as the original?
Soft rubber case which hugs the phone not a clip on one, and ideally one that does not look cheap and tacky.
Thanks
my local phones 4 u sell them in my area (reading town centre).
i bought a light blue one there - they seem to be the official nokia ones, too.
Phones4u indeed do have the cover but they only sell it with the phone as part of an accessory pack.
After speaking to one of the guys it seems they will get the Official white case this or next week and it will be on sale separately for £8.99.
Will pop in next week to purchase one.
I just wonder why the heck it didn't come with the phone. They give you a black one instead. Really??
Yup I got the black one given I think everyone pretty much got the black standard one that came in the box. Phones4U were giving out a special accessory pack which contained a white version of the Original case.
Not in the mood to go out and buy a white Lumia and I really like the official soft rubber case as oppose to the cheap knock offs you can buy anywhere else so I though I would go and hunt for one.
I want a red one. I'm also curious if the models listed on amazon.com are oem like the case it came with.
If they're labelled as CC-1031, then they're OEM.
I would love the original cover in a white.
How many official colors are there? I only ask because I've seen a RED and a MAGENTA(pink) I don't know if they are different because the ebay auction says RED and it looks red but that could just be a bad pic.
Official to my knowledge, and correct me if I am wrong:
BLACK
CYAN
MAGENTA(pink)
LIME GREEN
Is that all of them?

red is new white?
Seems Phones4U keep telling misleading information.
I went in to purchase it again and was told that it explicitly is only sold with the phone and is not available for purchase separately.
Kinda Sucks that they seem to have a monopoly on the Official White Case from Nokia. I am unable to find the White case from anywhere else at all after scouring the internet for weeks.
I work in Phones4U, there is no official white case, the white Lumia ships with a black case.
I asked the Nokia rep why this is and he told me it's because when he was carrying the white N9 with a white case it got so grotty, just didn't look nice.
We sell an unofficial white case, but it isn't as nice as the cases that ship with the handsets.
Ah thanks for clearing it up, the rep i spoke with was certain it was an official white case and not a 3rd party one. Already have the standard black one that came with the phone its nice but really looking for a white one with the same quality, look and feel.

I figured that would happen but I want it anyways lol. Probably look like a white mac keyboard after a few months of heavy use but so what.
Found an official white case by Nokia. Nokia-CP-017N
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...urce=0&searchtype=allproducts&urlrefer=search
Seems it does Hug the phone and is not one of those horrible Clip on cases
That's not an official case.
Play.com have the manufacturer as Nokia.

That has to be a lie. Look at the fitment on the back, doesn't even line up properly. This looks like the run of the mill rubbery, get stuck on your pants, collect a lot of lint and dirt type of ebay case.
Indeed.
First off, the official covers are not made of silicon, secondly, the official covers do not allow access to the SIM tray.
Thirdly, if you Google that part number, you can find pictures of the packaging which show is as 'made for Nokia'.

First post here (I think), but I just had to poke my head in, as I'm really confused about this.
I got my Lumia 800 about 3 months back, and in the box was a cyan (well, I alway saw it more of a light blue, cyan's brighter. But that's my inner interior decorator talking) case. I also got the official accessory pack with the white case, and 'Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-111' in it.
Now, my cyan case that came in the phone's box, DOES allow access to the SIM tray. Which is a bit annoying as sometimes I catch it when opening the charging port. And so does the white one.
Not sure how you can tell what's silicone and what's not, but on the accessory box, it says 'white silicone case'. The cyan one feels the same material, so I assume that's silicone as well.
So the white one on Play could quite possibly be an official one, as it looks identical to the one I have at first glance.
