I can't wait for a third party to come out with a replacement back covers. Not really a fan with skins.
I doubt it will happen with the antennas being integrated into the cover

This is the best thing to do.... Or paint it.....Or sand it down like others have done....
I carbon skinned it and it's doing great. Already survived a drop (unfortunately there's a small chunk out of the metal band :crying: though). Can't stand cases (I've tried 'em all) so I gotta live with it.
I'd like to know where to get a replacement back cover to experiment on (sanding, painting, skinning different materials) without messing this one up too much. Anyone know where to get an OEM replacement cover? Are these available yet?

so like everyone else I also got the free blue silicone cell phone case for my LTevo in the mail shortly after getting my LTevo. I put it on my phone the day i got it and have not taken it off until today. I noticed when i took it off the silicone gel case made the back plastic part of the phone VERY rough, almost sticky. has anyone else had an issue with this???
I think calling the EVO LTE "LTevo" is lame.

I've been using the blue silicone case since I got it and it has not caused this issue for me. Sorry. You could try going to Sprint and swapping it for the gray Body Glove case the were also sending people.

sounds like there might be some release agent still stuck on the case, wash the thing with warm soapy water and it shouldn't do that anymore.

I got a gray hard case with a built in kick stand, it if actually pretty nice. The kick stand allows you to stand the phone up 3 ways. I am very pleased with sprint for this, something they didn't have to do they did..that means allot in the days of companies like Verizon charging 300+ for their newest cell phones just because people will pay for it. Sprint only charged $200 then something unexpected happened and they sent their customers a case for the troubles .. That just shows how much they care about taking care of customers.

I don't use cases on my devices usually, but I find myself nervous about dropping my EVO because of how large it is. I'm glad I got the grey one because I might actually use it where if it was blue and sticky silicone I never would.

Is it possible to get housing parts from a Sprint store that does repair?

Cracked the screen so I'm looking for a new replacement. Doesn't seem to be much out there right now. How is the quality on these replacement screens? Are they virtually the same screen as HTC's?
Edit: A bit cheaper at $129. Seems to be the entire outer case with screen, casing, and battery - http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-EVO-LTE...=774358091691373252&pid=100033&prg=1011&rk=1&

Yes these are awesome. I used one with my OG EVO for a while with the glue on magnet on the back of a seidio case. They get a little pricey. They sell them and have them on display for testing at Frye's electronics if you live anywhere close to one. They are built well and use a powerful magnet. I would definitely get one if I wasn't getting the dock.
I really wanna see 1 in action before I buy 1. I have heard great things tho.
I thought about getting the dock that sprint has but my buddy just got it and it scratched his phone. So I don't think I'm gonna now.

If you live anywhere near a Frye's I know they have them on display. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awh6QP8-BBE This is a pretty good review. The X arms on the X-way allow the phone not to rotate freely unless you choose to do so (if you go over a bump it won't go from portrait to landscape, but you can rotate it with ease by hand) unlike the free mount. The magnets are super strong and they won't weaken over time.
Anyone know if there is an anodized back door to replace the plastic one? I think a full anodized body would look sweet on the evo!
Sent from my EVOLTE
dont think there is one as the antenna is attached to the back of that plastic door.
I think I read somewhere the reason its plastic is because the metal interfered with the nfc.

Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I would imagine so, as plastic allows the signal to transfer through much much better than metal/aluminum!! I know from experience as I had the Asus Prime(TF201), before upgrading to the Asus Infinity(TF700T) which has a plastic section on the top/back of the body. The Prime did not and suffered from poor Wifi, Bluetooth, and GPS performance. GPS is so bad that Asus sent out a free GPS dongle to all Prime owners who wanted one. The Infinity is amazing and gets great signal thanks to the plastic strip integrated in to the body.

In addition to what has already been said, our device isn't as popular as we'd like it to be so there's very little in the way of customized aftermarket parts. It's sad really, as it's nigh impossible to even find a plastic door with a different color.

Just thought of this, too: our battery door isn't just a piece of plastic. It also contains antenna strips necessary for our phones to work properly, so it's not as simple as just making molds of the part.

Only the EVO, all of the other HTC 2012 devices with NFC do not have any removable parts or doors. It is however located in the same area.
Actually all the antennas are under that plastic panel IIRC. So using metal isn't really a good idea. People already complain about poor signal using metal for the panel will have even more folks whining.

Safe to do as long as you can seal the inside. Those antenna strips have to be left dry.

Get the Ghost Armor Matte full body protection. I absolutely hated the fact that the back of the phone was shiny (gloss) and the other half of the back was not. So I got the matte protection and its all one flat black matte. Got that on day 1...

I just got mine in the mail today! Looks very similar to the CaseMate Barely There, but the camera is better covered and no cut-out for the kickstand. Only $6 shipped on ebay! First impression is that it's a nicely made case surprisingly! I'll post a pic in a few minutes.

What color is your Evo?
Well, actually I guess it doesn't matter. I have a black one and a white one. I'll just take pics of each of of then in the case so you, and/or anyone else interested, can see how they look once in the case. I know that, at least for me anyways, it really helps seeing the actual phone in the case. Most ebay sellers just show pics of the case (or whatever other item I'm looking at), and you don't know for sure items will actually look, and you just have to imagine it. Seeing how the item looks in use, no matter what the item is, really helps me make a decision!
