Does anyone know if the white housing for a i9000 (seen here: http://cnn.cn/shop/samsung-i9100-galaxy-white-housing-p-13328.html) can be swapped and will fit a AT&T Galaxy S2?
it probably would but.... you wouldn't be able to replace the front of the device...
white housing is like 10-15 bucks on ebay if you want to try lol

The second mic would not line up if you used this housing.
Didn't they start selling these in white at AT&T..? or is that just the Slowrocket?

thanks for the pics, no offense, but those pics are terrible.
you could've taken a screen shot or snap a pic with your webcam instead of taking a pic of your screen.
any possible way to get clearer pics? would love to see that color combo (white back and black front).
besides grinding off that notch, everything snaps into place?
sorry for the pics ... let me see what i can do and for everything else it fits perfectly except for that ... i will try to post better pics later!
Any updates?
if there is no way of change the front,, then it does not worth the hassle.
Curious now...but since you have both cases...does the i9100 battery cover fit the i777

Yeah, I know. The phone is in the case and the case covers the white part. The phone looks better in one color.
de I777 battery cover fit the I9000 but the I9000 didn't fit the I777 Housing... the why??? Q&A i dunno know! but maybe it was just in my case... currently have white housing black battery cover and black vol. and power buttons! trying a red one in the next few weeks

What launcher are they using in the pictures on that site? it has a filmstrip of icons at the top of the screen, looks similar to the bar launcherpro uses (not available for 1.6) on the bottom of the screen.
That's the Timescape homescreen with the splines photoshopped out.
I've been having some problems with the transparent label paper I had lying around (the actual design would be unrecognizable), so I'm gonna get a set of white deal sheets and see how that goes.

It's fairly soft. Maybe like a thick screen protector.
Was installation difficult at all?

Not really. Was easier than a screen protector. Only had to be sure to allign it correctly. But I could easily take it off if I missed.

I'm using the elago cover from Amazon...$10 but it doesn't offer much protection besides keeping crud off of the 8MP camera on the back. The white one is a little slippery since it's not coated, just FYI. Hasn't caused a drop yet though.

Are you looking for an OEM cover to replace a white cover you had ?
Yes looking for either. Hopefully one with NFC if not can you provide links to the ones you know about. That would be great. Yes looking to replace my white one.

Also, the OE flip cover with the flap is a much better rear cover due to its thickness, texture and logo layout. What I did was just ter off the "leather" flip portion and am using just the battery cover.

Yes tried that would love to find a back cover like that without the leather. I cut it out too but back cover is to thick and doesn't work well with tpu cases. Love the look and texture of the flip cover case. Would be nice if they made Battery cover exactly like that.

Mine does it too, and Samsung will not replace it under warranty for whatever reason. They want me to pay to replace it, but don't know if the replacement part has the nfc. AT&T offered to replace the phone under warranty as I am well past my 30 days. It just pops off on its own, real annoying.

Mine is OK. But I went out and bought the black hard cover. It looks cool and protects the screen while in transit.

The reason it happens is because you've broken either one or several of the clips on the cover itself. Happens on mine too.

No. I have had three notes and 2 out of 3 had the problem and the covers were all fine. It just depends on if you get a solid one.

So after 7 months with my white Note, I have grown tired of it.
The color that is. White. I thought I'd love it, but I guess after I got white glass for my 3GS and changed that I hit the level where staring at this white piece of crap is driving me CRAZY! Okay its not that serious, but the color is bugging me. I plan on switching the side-frame-bezel-thing, rear frame, and battery door with ones from the "Pebble Blue" one but one problem remains. The screen.
Does anyone know of an easy way (or a cheap way) to change the color? New LCD assemblies are $200 and that's too much. I don't want a half black half white phone so its all the way or no way.
Thanks!

She if someone wants to trade for a black one.
Sent from the TermiNOTEr!
Why don't you just find someone to trade?
The back and sides of mine aren't in good condition and I flashed a custom ROM on the phone so I doubt anyone would trade.
Although, I wouldn't mind trading mine for an international one. That would be awesome just for the button. That's even less likely though
Sent from my PawPhone 2 using Pur Pro.
Well .
Based on the cost of parts ..you would be better off finding the cobalt blue version of the device .IMHO
With the note 2 around the corner, you may find a good deal on a different device ?
Sorry I don't have a cheaper method for you ....g

aren't there cases that cover the front part too?

Just ordered one. Will post photos once it's in.
So mine just came in today. I got it in mint green.
The texture of it feels very similar to the one that came with my phone. It also has a little writing on the back that says "Bubblepack".
It didn't fit perfectly when I first tried to put it on, until I tried putting it on starting from the bottom.
It feels a little bit more grippy but that could be because I just got back from biking and my hands are sweaty. Either way, it's not a bad price if you want to change the battery cover color.
Thanks for sharing the pic, looks good. Did you order from one of the sellers that shows pics without the text in the corner?
