Does anyone know if they sell just the battery door/cover whatever you want to call it in a black or grey bezel, I kind of donto like the red. And no I'm not taking about a case

I've seen battery covers on ebay already, red, gold and black. However being that the phone is so new, they were going for like $80+.
I'd wait it out a little longer, I'm sure the prices will drop.
I think I know what you are talking about I've seen them on amazon as well but that is the entire back housing im just looking for the detachable battery door

Looking for battery doors too
HTC hasn't released the battery doors as a stand alone product, the only product they offer is the housing replacement (It includes EVERYTHING... if you sent your phone through the blender, you could buy one of those and get it looking like new, minus the screen)
Sadly, unless you want to spend 90 bucks on a kit when you only want 1 part, you may have to wait. I've sent HTC an email wondering if/when replacement battery covers would be available, and haven't received a reply.
You may want to do the same, it may help if they see a market for them.
On a side note, I love the bronze color for the camera button/switch... I may buy it just for that. Mmmm.
I like the euro 3d black battery cover and a little gold ring around the to camera

Hi All,
I've been thinking about this and wanted to run it by everyone here to see if it should be moved forward. Looking at the 3D, I think there is a potential market for a replacement back cover for the phone. Think about; the cover shields the entire back, bottom, and sides of the phone. Since this is the case, why can't some aftermarket companies develop a "better" cover?
Something that has better tactile feel for the buttons (an apparent flaw of the current cover) and provides additional protection to the phone and camera lens, without having to add a bulky case on top of it.
I feel a case is necessary with a phone like this; however if something like this came out I would be all over it. I hate to add bulk to an already giant phone. Wearing a suit and having an Evo w/case in your pocket looks like your carrying a brick or Bible.
I think if we can draw enough attention to this, we can get some third party companies interested in development. Obviously, I think it is a good idea; do you?
^
i do believe that i would buy it!
a replacement back cover wouldn't do anything for the buttons as those are on the frame. or do you mean replacement full body housing? that would be cool but they wouldn't be able to sell a lot of them since that project would be too indepth for the average joe.

Lol looks like somebody's not keeping up to date XD the Evo3D back cover does indeed cover the sides as well...
I think its a great idea!
Sent from my HERO200 using Tapatalk
Just make them different colors... especially Android green... and keep them cheap. Make profits on bulk sales
just a replacement cover with a kickstand would make me happy. im hoplessly attached to the kickstand on my og evo but i keep it naked with no case as i dont like the added bulk. maybe powermat will look into it since they make replacement covers anyhow.
edit: i actually emailed powermat and will update if i hear anything back.
I think a kickstand should totally be doable. I have a contact that is a machinist...maybe I can get a proto done in aluminum and see how that rolls. Now all I need is the damn phone to be delivered !
something rugged ish would be great with an extended batt.
I absolutely love the evo 3d but hate the red on the back battery cover. Is there anywhere to buy a all black battery cover or make the baterry cover black
Sharpie?

There were a few listed on amazon that had the middle color changed.

I can't find them do u have a link
So far all I can I could find is the complete housings -Make sure you buy a CDMA verison because the GSM is slightly different.

$82?!
Yikes.
Home depot sells "Plasti Dip" in a spray can. A lot of people use it for the badges on their cars, and the grilles of their cars. It's supposed to hold up well, but also peel off if you need it to.
I got some to do the badges of my car. I may just do the red trim ring too and see how it comes out.
You can buy an extra cover and paint it...

High grit sandpaper then polish afterwards
Just ordered a black one, and a gold one. 10-15 days before it will get here though.
I would LOVE the red one! I am on Rogers and got an ugly gold one.
Me too! Actually would like a smooth cover, really not digging the texture to be honest.
Didn't know they were different fits between GSM and CDMA, good to know.

I've seen the red ones on eBay for about $25.
Trying to get a head start on accessories before I get the phone, lol.
Does anyone own the High Gloss Silicon Case available direct from Verizon. It comes in 3 colors. $19.99 each.
They have a sale this weekend, buy 3 items get 20 percent off, buy 5 items get 30 percent off.
I was planning on getting the screen protectors directly from them also, and maybe an extra STANDARD size battery.
What do you guys think?
Here is the Verizon link:

oy that's expensive.
honestly, i'd just reccommend checking out cruzerlite tpu cases...go checkout my thread for pics, reviews and links to their stuff..they're much cheaper than 20 bucks..that's really expensive

I coughed up the $20 for this case in black. I bought the phone just before traveling on business and did not want it naked. (I actually had just decided not to purchase another phone for a while as I had my Incredible rooted and on a stable ROM with a great kernel, etc. etc., but the LCD cracked. I suspect it was a Verizon OTA screen cracking exploit nobody knows about....)
I like how the case wraps around the Rezound. I also suprisingly like the gloss. We'll see how it holds up. I typically keep a case for a few months then decide I want something "else." Once a phone is rooted, I need to be able to pull the battery frequently while tinkering around with it, so a silicon case is a nice option, as opposed to a hard two-piece case that I'm constantly pulling apart. It feels like a "better" case than the cheaper silicon ones I can get at the stand at the mall right outside the Verizon store.
Picked up the red gloss case and so far so good I like that it doesn't add any bulk.

I tried it on in stores and it looked pretty good but honestly theres not much of a difference from the ones found on ebay
I have this same case in black and love it. I just need a holster that this case can fit into.

the standard clamshell holster that verizon sells has always worked on the silicone cases on all the phones I have had.. bionic, charge, tbolt and razr; yes i may have a problem
I have the black one aswell. I liked it ok for a cheap case... I didn't like that the camera wasn't really protected... But that's really it tbh. Love my commuter otterbox

I have the vzw one in red, got it with the phone... fits good, looks decent, not bulky. I like it.
Yep, I have the black high gloss case also. With the case on, the Rezound fits perfectly in my hand and the case adds a nice grip to avoid dropping

Grabbed the black one when I picked up the phone. Fairly nice but not worth 20 bucks imo. Once my Otterbox commuter comes in, it's going back and I'll pick up a car charger.
I picked this up from Verizon about a week ago and I love it it protects my phone and it provides a good grip and with my discount I only paid $15

Window Mount
Does anyone know if the phone fits into the verizon window mount while using this case?
I got sick of taking my OG Droid case off everytime I get in the car, so I left it off... of course that was the day I dropped it.

This one
^^Yes sir... I actually went out and got it... had a verizonwirelss gift card plus my employee discount ...
Fits nice and has a good grip...plus still easy to slide out of a pocket. (and I don't have to remove it to put it in the charger.)
that's cool but... no pink one?
and do they have them for the extended battery to?...

Still don't have a case for my rezound but I really want to protect it, I found this browsing thru amazon tonight and wanted to know if anyone has this case and if they do, can you snap some shots and post em, the pictures on amazon don't give it justice...It says its OEM so if HTC makes it than it has to be a sweet tight fitting case!
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Rubberized-Shell-Rezound-ADR6425/dp/B0069615GW
For what its worth, I bought a red and black OEM HTC case and its cheap and flimsy. I regret buying it mostly because the color in the picture doesn't match the case. Its a cheap looking red instead of the red that matches the camera bezel and speaker grille.
Does it feel similar to the original back cover of the phone?

Yeah it has the textured effect to it
I ordered the black one im going to try it out. not a case guy at all but I do like the textured back...I'll report back with my impressions

i have one and its OK. i do like the feel of it but it seems to me like it doesnt really offer any protection. im thinking of getting a seidio active case to replace it.
I've always wished that the One X could have come to Sprint instead of the Evo (blasphemy I know... ). The Sense 4.0 interface looks much better with the black buttons and white edging and back. And personally I think the white Evo looks like crap with the white faceplate on the front with the dark Sense UI. So I found this case on Amazon and now I have the best of both worlds The Android logos inlaid on the back give it a good soft touch feel and all the buttons are easy to get too.

I have this case, and while I love it I only used it for 5 days. It gets stained very easily and nothing that I have found will restore it back to white. Tried manic eraser, alcohol, nail polish remover, bar-keepers friend, bleach.... So if you find something that works, please post it. I ended up breaking down and buying a different one on eBay last night.

I've got a green one, I can at least vouch for the quality. Everything about this case fits perfectly and tight.
The only issue I have is that some of my USB cable ends(Old BB Cables mainly) are a little thick for the cut out and they don't have a satisfying "Click" when you plug them in, this causes them to fall out relativly easily when you move the phone around while its connected.
My stock HTC cable, MonoPrice, and a few Sammy cables I have are perfect though.
Mine is still white after a week.. Not completely pure white but enough to keep me happy

Sprint had a white body glove case at the store. White with a bit of grey thrown on the sides as rubber grip. Not bad looking but makes the phone considerably larger.
I bought the black version of this case just a few minutes ago.
Also there's this other white one in eBay for less than 3 bucks.
I have an Otterbox commuter but..
I bought the black one though since it is just like the one I have for my Motorola Photon and I don't want to break or modify my otterbox just to be able to use the iBolt Car Dock..
These cases are very nice and durable and also the best is that they're cheap.
(It takes 2 weeks to be delivered cause they are sent from china) but shipping is free!
