Hi!I have the GSM EVO 3D with the gold bezel on the rear.I would like the red one.Do you know where I can find a cheap OEM one that ships to Romania?
Red one's are for CDMA but they will fit the GSM one too. Just look around for a replacement battery door on Ebay.
I Have The CDMA Bezel But Would Like The Gold One. Does Anyone Know Where I Can Find One?

Maybe you can sand it off and paint it by hand?

Are there an replacement covers which feature a kickstand. I've seen cases with a kickstand but I'm not a big fan of cases on the EVO 3d.

I've been looking for one myself and have not found one. I settled with the Seidio case with kickstand. It does add bulk but Ive gotten used to it and it was a good thing I had a case cause I've already dropped it once even though I have been careful with my phone since I bought it on release day.

Your best bet is going to be a thin case with a builtin kickstand. I would say go with the Body Glove case that is offered by Sprint (I believe Amazon sells it also). It is super thin and adds almost nothing to the phone as far as thickness goes. Unfortunately, the only colors its available in are pink and purple. There is a thread in this forum that shows how one user sanded it down and then repainted it with black spray paint so that may be something you want to consider.
Since I dropped my phone (accidently) a tiny bit of the paint has been chipped away revelaing the metal on the front housing. Now instead of wanting a replacement. I'm thinking of sanding it for the brushed metal look. like on the desire HD

Anybody thinking the same?
I saw somebody to that to their 3D and honestly, it looked terrible. All the little bevels would be hard to match with the rest.
I also have some of the metal showing through, but would like to replace the front so I can sell the phone for more.

i might try it when i get my upgrade later this year, screen protector and mask the rest of the things up with very thin masking tape i can buy....that way if i mess something up i'll claim a new one from insurance but i'll still have my new phone =P the front is actually glued on the screen according to tear downs on the internet
Repair universe has the whole front assembly for 35 bucks.

got a link to that?
I'm looking for any service that will do the housing replacement for me. I know I can buy it on my own. Any suggestions? It's either that or buy an LTE.

housing replacement. very funny
My EVO 3D (original black) has gone through..."trauma"...recently, and the back cover seems to be a bit bent out of shape. I don't really care about the aesthetics of it, but the power button doesn't snap back out when pressed, making the phone thing I'm holding it down constantly, and also making it very difficult to turn on/off/sleep.
Does anyone know where I could get a replacement back cover? I would prefer it to be the same black color, but honestly if it were a white one I wouldn't mind.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: yes, I have searched eBay, but they seem to be extended batteries + covers which if it was a good extended battery I would buy it, so if anyone has a recommendations for extended battery + back case, that'd be good too
Here you go

I bought one from amazon from a different seller http://www.amazon.com/HTC-EVO-3D-Non-Retail-Packaging/dp/B005FT29PK/ref=?ie=UTF8&m=A1SALXWWS9Y6O and had it shipped to UK. It looks and feels like the real deal, and it has the red metal ring. I couldnt see any difference to an HTC original so I guess it must be. hope this helps

Will do, though looks like you may have already ordered one. It does say OEM on it and the reviews all were 5 stars, so I am quite eager for it to get here!
Update as was requested, got it in today and it fits absolutely perfectly, like a glove. Seems to be an OEM cover just like advertised. My power button works again, so I couldn't be happier

Ordered one off amazon a while back its oem seems to be pretty on par with the oem so im guessing it is an oem lol
Ordered a purple one on Ebay, exactly the same as OEM, I hated the red around the camera so I'm satisfied

I thought the case for a CDMA EVO , red. Wouldn't fit a GSM EVO. I looked this up when I first got the phone?
I'm presuming from what I've read you've replaced the gold back cover with a red one....
* after looking this up it seems some GSM EVOs (china? and elsewhere) have the red around the camera and a CDMA case backing will not fit GSM.

You can buy OEM HTC GSM back case for the EVO 3D that is red and not gold.
Many with a GSM phone have gold trim around the camera,
OEM HTC back case is possible as in some parts of the world they are sold as red for the GSM EVO 3D.
So like this... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIGINAL-...488?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc4146830
When I first looked this was not possible.
Has anyone found a site or know where I can order parts for this phone? I would like to replace the back housing and it looks easy and straight forward. I tried searching on google but no luck.
Is it possible to get housing parts from a Sprint store that does repair?
Bump
I cracked the plastic back cover, anybody have a replacement I can buy?

Most parts are currently out of stock but here's a site to keep an eye on.www.etradesupply.com
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&

Same here. But I was also hoping a company would start selling 3rd party replacements with different colors or designs already printed on them.
Found this white housing for $150

indeed, i also know this Chinese company etrade supply, it is a good choice to buy phone parts, before i had ever bouht the batteries and LCD & Digitizer from this company, the price is a little expensive, but the quality is better than Ebay.

I have the black Evo and I tightened my kickstand too much and now whenever I tighten it nothing happens so I have to get a new one. I tried looking for a silver kickstand and i haven't found it so I was wondering if anyone knew where I could possibly find one?
What in the world were u doing tightening a already stiff kickstand?
U probably aren't going to have much luck since the phone is still fairly new. I would guess Ur best bet is to search for local authorized sprint repair centers

Mine became loose within a month of owning the phone.. I found a thread on fixing the issue and it requires tightening the nut, and even a drop of super glue to prevent it from happening again like I did..
