Partly because I have damaged my Magician case slightly, and partly because I find the SPV M500 a lot more visually appealing, I'm curious whether they are actually the very same device with different casing, and if it would be possible to buy the M500 casing somewhere and pop my Jam into it.
Anyone else interested in doing this? Anyone know if it is possible?
For you who haven't seen the M500, msmobiles has a review of it.

The design certainly is a matter of personal taste. I find the standard Jam/S100 design unfinished and also prefer the Orange version, so I am keeping an eye on this thread...
Placed side by side the orange version is slightly larger than the jam, so it may not work.

Unfinished is definitely the right way to express it. It looks like an engineering sample to me.
I remember reading that somebody was able to order a new casing for the Jam. If that person may please step forward and explain how this was done, it might be a way to get hold of the M500 casing.
Or maybe somebody with an orange contract can contact them in the matter?
Firstly, however, somebody would need to disassemble their M500 so that we can compare its innards with the Jam. There are guides how to disassemble these devices in this forum.

Hi LeSkip,
I also like this new look, but my problem is the accessories, have have several leather, silicone cases, and they are all made for Qtek,Imate,O2 mini, xda mini...
If you get to know where these hard cases come from, i'm sure you can ask them for a case...
I have no doubts that it is technically possible to switch the cover. We just need to replace the switches, styli and buttons too. Along with cases and such, of course, as has already been mentioned here. Not a big problem to me, but I see a few other issues, though:
1. Where to buy the M500 cover?
2. The price! It appears to me that no HTC cover has ever been cheap!
3. Once the Magician has been opened, all traces of your warranty is gone!
I think you can get the casings from your local HTC Service centres

According to the last post in this HowardForums thread they are the exakt same size.

H guys,
I am not able to decide between these 2. I want something fast with GPS, Wifi and a camera. You guys have experience, please help me decide which one is faster?
Thanks and Regards,

it all comes down to size of the device

my jeans have rather large pockets and it fitted in them just (x7500).
what you need to decide is would you prefer a large screen and microdrive to small size?

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Well, I used to own a Nokia 7710(3.5" screen)...considered really big when it was out(friends actually made fun of me saying that i was carrying a pencil box or a brick) and well, to be honest..i loved it for its big screen ...Internet was a breeze on the big screen...so i would love the big screen on Ameo too...
Well, I guess it might fit(after some struggle)...I wear 32"...how does it perform,..is it fast and snappy. Comparisons to iphone or touch cruise will help immensely...
Could somebody please to tell me, how can I get a new official-case for replacement of my existing cracked official-case?
Many thanks

You could find someone who has not used their originally supplied case - like me.
How much would you pay for the case? - and where do you live in the world (shipping)? I live in Europe.

Totally agree with the quality comment. One remark though, ask specifically cnn if the front part of the case has installed the metal gomets (metal bases for the screws). Various CNN customers, including myself had that problem in the past, i.e. a case without the gomets.
Regards!
Mine arrived this morning frmo Expansys...
Got to say - it is thinner than I thought. Another nice surprise is that it has an almost rubbery feel to it making the phone a lot more tactile to hold.
Some pics...

Thanks for sharing the nice photos. The extended battery looks not so thick but with 50% more battery. I wonder would cases maker provide case for Diamond with extended battery?
so thats the real deal from htc...not a copy
that looks beter than i thought
may treat myself to one of those next week
hummmm have to tried to take a photo with the new back on???
if so is there still the same issue with misty photos ?
Hi - yip - it is the official real deal one - not a copy. Straight from HTC (via Expansys).
The photo is the same as with the original case - there is still a piece of clear plastic in the case back. So, unless you remove this it will be the same.

Nice
Hope they will arrive Singapore soon. That's wonderful
would you mind posting the url - went to the site can not find the extra battery section - how much was it?
How is the GPS with the official battery, is it working ok?
GPS is just fine with official extended battery

Thanks for the pic!
From the pics, it looks like the back is not only matt, but also flat (no triangular gradients). Pls confirm this is true!
Yea.. also waiting for this to be out in SG.. if not perhaps in Malaysia, as i'm going over soon

Hi,
GPS appears unaffected - I used mine with TrackMe all day yesterday no problem.
The back is not flat - it still has the faceted diamond triangles. But, due to the mat rubberised finish it looks less angular.

To anyone who has the new back battery cover quick question before I buy.
Does the diamond still 'wobble' when placed on a flat surface? or are the facets level?
Thanks for any replies.

Yes, that's pretty much the same, I think.
has anyone found an extended battery in style with the MDA IV ?
I really like the "flat" backside of the MDA version and would hate to go back to the diamond shape.
Brodit active car holder
Hello,
Does anyone already have experience with this extended battery in combination with the Brodit Active carholder for the Diamond?
Before I decide to buy, I would like to make sure it will still fit in the holder.
Thanks.

Do you have a Compact IV already? If so, then the extended battery for the Compact IV (with the flat back) is due for release soon. Check the Expansys web site for details. This won't fit the Diamond though.

Would very very much doubt it. Brodit holders are made to quite exacting standards based on the size of the device being held. As the extended battery does alter this size, then I can't see it fitting.
Hi everybody,
I'm looking for cardock specially designed for Xperia L but I find nothing interesting.
Can you tell me with one you use and if it's nice.
Thanks for your help

A lot of customers are not satisfied with it. Mobile falls. It doesn't work very well. :crying:
There is a ton of generic ones on ebay that have spring clamps to hold it in tightly and adjust to any phone, gps, etc. I've got like 5 of them from buying "bundle packs" for my various phones over the years.
I've looked them but I'm looking for one who doesn't exceed of the screen.
The problem of the GripNgo is the lost of grip.
The design is nice for me.
