I just bought a black battery cover for my white Hero. I think it rocks. Black and white looks really good together.
Out of interest, where did you get the cover? I need a new one.
pics please!
Where did you get it?
Pictures, please!
You can buy the battery covers from the Official HTC Accessory store online. Black and White are available..
I was going to buy one to get rid of the Orange logo on mine.. but of course Orange hero's arent black.. they are Graphite.. so it would look a little off.
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

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?

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.
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.
Online, I'm now looking at the Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case for HTC Evo 4G LTE (Sprint) **Only For New 2012 LTE Model** [Diztronic Retail Packaging] - Amazon
I'm a NOOB (so I cannot post the link)
amazon. -- com/ -- gp/product/B00851NV6G/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2HOCXU5SC35JO
It seems the lesser evil (requiring less precision cutting).
I look forward to seeing if your desired solution ever gets manufactured.

Just found this on Amazon: GreatShield Guardian S Series Slim Fit S-Line Design TPU Case for HTC EVO 4G LTE (Black) $7.00
(I'm thinking I might like its lanyard solution for carrying this around ... uncertain if other cases for North America customers offer lanyard holes ...)

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!
^^Cool. Looks like a clear back just with a matte finish, which is what I'm expecting from the one I linked as well.

I purchased a Nexus 9 @ swappa.com that had a decent gash in the back housing. Besides the two shown on eBay (a black for $50 and a white for $25) or having HTC do a service call and cost me out the wazoo....is there a part location that I am missing where I can find a replacement black housing?
Thanks in advance!

iFixit always had some spare parts...most people don't think of them though. Sometimes they are new, other times used...in this case, for 10$ , you can't go wrong for an original HTC part

Thanks!
I hope they come back in stock sometime soon :-X
