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.

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
Sent from my mutha effin' Evo 3D
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

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:

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

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.

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.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
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!

Does anyone know if bumper cases exist for this phone. I have not been able to find one anywhere.
I'd like to know as well!!
I did a pretty extensive look on amazon before purchasing my case and I didn't see anything like a bumper case for the Evo.
Seems the only option is to buy a TPU case and cut the back out. =(
Go on eBay! I know for a fact they're on there, I looked right before i replied.

I have to ask, you "know for a fact" but you couldn't copy/paste a link to one? There are many TPU cases on ebay that some people call a bumper but it isn't a bumper if it has a back plate.
I haven't seen any, and I've spent a lot of time on ebay and Amazon. I would suggest the same as others have, and just remove the back from a TPU case. I've seen a few with white or black sides and a clear back. That's what I would buy, as I think those would be easier to remove the back and probably give you a cleaner finished product. I remember there were a few TPU cases for the Evo 3D where the back came out pretty easy, and didn't look messy. There were a couple thread about them back when the 3D was pretty new. You didn't even have to cut the back out of them, they would just pop out of you pressed really hard in the right places.

It says since i'm a new user I can't post links. All I did was go to ebay and search Hte evo 4g Lte bumper case and there is hundreds. But we may be talking about 2 different kinds of cases. If so, then sorry.
I just went to my ebay app and searched "Evo LTE bumper case". There was only 18 results. There were a few full silicone or tpu cases, but most were like I mentioned in my post above. White or Black silicone around the edges (like a bumper case), but they have a full clear back made of a hard plastic.
I saw no true bumper cases on ebay!

What kind of cases are you talking about? I only know of one kind of bumper case
Sent from my White Evo LTE running MeanBean, using XDA Premium
Two kinds of "bumper" cases
Evo 4g lte Since the phone isn't as square as the iPhone then the only way the case would work is to have a back on it. Which in my opinion looks horrid.
iPhone Since the phone is square the bumper can grip the phone and not fall off. Leading to it being able to be backless.
^^^Not true. A bumper case WOULD work on the Evo LTE, it's just that no one makes one for us. The Nexus 4 is shaped like the Evo LTE, and it has bumper cases...

Here's a picture of a case with a black border and white back. It was the first I came across, but I've also seen this case with a clear back as well. It's the first link in my post above.
What's odd is the auction says that it's clear, but it isn't. The white Evo LTE does NOT have black around the camera and flash, nor is there black around the kickstand AND the kickstand is silver and not red, like the pictured item is. So the case in the pictures definitely has a white back with a black Evo in it, not a clear back with a white Evo in it. I'm going to save the item to my watch list and ask the seller why the description doesn't match the pictures. I'll also see if he'll send me pictures of the white bordered case and the black bordered case, both with the clear back of course. I doubt there will be an Evo in the case, but that's fine. If the case looks decent in the pictures he sends me, then I'll definitely buy one just so I can share photos of it with everyone on here. I'll post pictures of it empty, with my white Evo in it, and with my black Evo in it. I think I'll buy the one with the white border though, just in case I do like the case and decide to use it occasionally. I think my white Evo will look better in the the white bordered case than it will in the one with the black border.

AndrasLOHF, I'm not seeing many options either (just picked one up yesterday).
The Otter Commuter was the best option at the Sprint Store and I passed on it.

I'm a NOOB (so I cannot post the link)

It seems the lesser evil (requiring less precision cutting).

I had one on my Htc Evo 4G, I got it from Amazon. In the picture the back looked white like the one you posted. but when I got it it was like a fuzzy clear look. Idk how to describe it well, but I have some pics I took with the phone when I had it I can show you. The pictures arent too good but they were the only ones I could find. Now that ive seen this thread so much, I think I want one again. XD Cant wait to hear what the seller says. Or, (if you decide to get it) what it looks like!

Check or search nexus 6 tear down or so. Lazy to link things tonight
ifixit did it in their tear down.
Ahhh teardown search was key.. Thanks guys
So I'd say it's safe to assume that eventually there's going to be a black model?
This looks interesting! I'd love to see how it comes out!
I hope it has the adhesive already on it. I can only imagine the huge PITA its going to be if it doesn't. For those who ordered one can you post a guide/pictures when you install it? I'm curious about this and if it works I know a lot of people will want the white one.
I'm curious if it's actually just the blue one labeled black.

If it is indeed black then it's not an OEM part. I wonder how the quality would be in that case.
I fully expect to get a blue one, but for $10 shipped its worth trying.
I ordered a black one when they first popped up on ebay. I'll update with pics and info when it gets here. I just plan on using it as a template to see about making alternate material backs so if it's black or actually blue and listed wrong it doesn't matter to me.
Looks like they raised the price. I'll wait to see results. My back has a few weird scuff/wear marks and I'd pay $10 to get a new one to have on hand. They seems like they'd be very easy to replace.
I think it would be awesome if it turned out to be black soft touch even though that isn't original. If the quality was good anyway...
Edit - I see the black is $10 and the white is $15.
With sprint only offering the midnight blue version, I wanted the white version. I would be interested to see how a midnight blue with one of these white backs look.
I bought a black back for 10$.
I'll give it a try.
This + a crashguard bumper + a screen protector
It's all it takes to cover the entire phone
Mine shipped so it should be here in 2 weeks or so. Shipping from China is always slow.
Im interested to see how this turns out.
I'll be getting a few of these. Maybe they're knockoffs, but if they fit the device, they could be used as custom backplates. I'm thinking of using spray paint or something, to create a nice, unique backplate.
