White Cover Available !

There's plenty who've been expecting it...
It's now available ! And here's the link.
One tiny flaw though, it doesn't look like it's the original HTC-branded cover. But I'll go for one anyway ! Don't forget the silver keypad, since it's not the same as the one mounted on the black version. And for those who'd consider switching from white to black, black fittings are available too.

But the black one shows the HTC logo, it's a question of ask them if the with one have it.
cheers

anyone know how to change the housing? anyone know where to find maybe a service manual?
thanks.

i'll figure out how to remove the old cover once the replacement covers arrive... i ordered 2, just in case i wanted to switch to the white one.

excellent, let us know I'd also love to change my white one to a black one
Is there a chance i'll encounter the peeling-off issue known with the black trinities with these covers??

Ooo I've been looking for something like this, delivery is good for overseas too, I think I'll go for a black one, it's a bit expensive though!

I've dropped a message to cnn.cn about the logos on the white version. I'll let you know as soon as I get the answer.

hrm. i'm kindof worried about customs when shipping from US to EU.
i recently paid 65€ custom on a 100$ watch fom japan. ouch!
is there any way to get around that, like marking it as low value or a gift? any EUer ordered from CNN.cn before?

I think it really depends on your country, even if you're in the EU. Some countries allow a gift duty free, but a retail outlet won't send a package that way. The UK is apparently really sticky about import duties I've heard.

Oh yeah, I also concern about why the white one don't have any Dopod or HTC logo on it
Is that real genuine replacement or just some replica from some cheap material?

i got both the white and black covers; the black is definitely HTC stock. the white one does not have any HTC markings and, there is a notable difference in the color of the front and back covers. i think the white is aftermarket and poor quality (in my opinion). if you get the white cover you should probably get the sliver "D-Pad", otherwise it will look funny. unfortunately, i ran over my device (by accident, stupidity, carelessness) and didn't have a chance to change the covers.

I've just replaced my M700 white cover with the black HTC branded. Man this phone looks so goddamn sexy now it's incredible.
I got the black keypad as well. Silver would have been too garish IMHO.

Hi guys,
Just to let you know that cnn.cn answered my mail and stated that both the front and back covers were HTC-branded.
I'll let you know when I receive them.
Cheers

Black side keys ...
Hi guys,
If we switch to the white which as you said earlier has the HTC logos and the silver keyboard what about the side keys which are black (except the camera which is silver). I think it would be really ... not sexy ... white with black keys.
I have already asked cnn if they also provide white side keys and I 'm waiting for their reply. I' l get back to you when they reply.
Regards, Dimitris.

Ah then those of us with the white to start have one major bonus. The keys are silver and it looks really swish black with all silver buttons. I can see white with black buttons would look a tad sucky.

do the black covers still have the peeling problem?

The Covers Suck
I ordered both the Black and White (with matching keypads), and I have to say that the quality is poor, and not consistent.
For the Black one:
Has multiple brands - CHT and Dopod on the front, and HTC on the back .. would have been better with just one brand;
Internal piece is missing the metal plate;
Plastic moulding is poor (my unit was warped, and not useable);
Back Cover is not provided with rubber plug (on the back for the antenna port), nor the cover for the SD Card;
No buttons provided (i.e. side buttons like the camera, Ok below the scroll wheel, etc).
For the White One:
Colour on the front and back cover differs;
Buttons were provided;
No branding at all;
Cover is not provided with rubber plug (on the back for the antenna port), nor the cover for the SD Card;
Overall, not very happy and believe to be a waste of money.

Galaxy S Full Housing

Anybody come across any sites that sell full housing yet in different colours? Galaxy S seems to be very popular where i live and would like mine to be different (not just with a case).
I.E. full red housing, full white housing, etc.

hi
I think it just will make your phone fat. I'm using invisible shield. Already have for half year and phone did not scratch at all. I know they're expensive but they worth every cent.

Yeah invisi sheilds are one of the best about IMHO and worth every penny.
Last phone i modded was a blackberry bold 9000, and made white before blackberry started producing other coloured ones. Hoping that someone will produce the same sort of full housing for this model at somepoint

Haven't seen one either.
There's always spray paint.
Just jking. Don't do it.

Hi.
I have oder this casing couple days ago:
http://www.exportprive.com/ultra-sl...se-samsung-galaxy-i9000-infinity-p-13255.html
And you have a lot of other types of cases and colors on this site.
I'll give you info about case when it arrives, but it looks good and solid.... But will see when it arrives

Don't forget to add lots of pics with a good camera in different light conditions when it arrives. A review would be great.

Lol at spray paint comment
Not after a hard case, i am seeking the housing. I do not want to add extra bulk to the phone (i have a hard case already and they are good if you are in conditions if you feel the phone maybe susseptible). The housing is the full housing of the phone so would be battery cover, screen surround etc.
Here is the housing but i am after different colours of these;
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-i9000-Housing-p/smsng6087190.htm

well the good thing about me being korean background is that I get to access the market place in korea for the phone as it is very popular like iphone to the states it be safe to say sgs for the korean market and other after market accessory.
I am assuming you are after a battery cover^^?
Check these sites out I personally got a white battery cover and mine is the only white covered SGS^^!! As for purchase? enquire direct to website or get a korean friend^^;;; Make sure you add "h" in front of the addresses.

Battery covers will be the path i have to go down if i cannot find the full housing. As you say you have a white battery cover you have half the phone in white. With a full housing the surround of the screen and walls of the phone would also be white.
Battery covers readily available on ebay as well mate but thanks for the share.

White G2X Battery Cover

Just found this white g2x battery cover on ebay.
5 sold already, and 7 left....i really want to buy, but the price of $21.99 is making me second guess.
I might just do it!

I picked one up. If it fits anything like the black replacement from Amazon it's worth the extra few $$$ for a perfect fit.

Try finding a white digitizer for under $166 now. I paid $66 for mine in Dec, tried to get another one couple weeks ago, nada. I did find one for $60, paid for it, got a refund 2 weeks later.

Looks like they just took an OEM battery cover and painted it white, no?
If that's the case, I'm fairly sure you could do the same for less than $22...

Bought one of the white batt covers, gotta wait till end of April for it to get here from china.

I want to pick one up but 22$ is steep in my mind. Not sure if it's legit but I did find these white digitizers. http://www.zcrater.com/oem-originer...-touch-glass-screen-digitizer-lens-parts.html
Dont know anything about the site I just found it today

What about a fully white G2x, like the HDMI part?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I am almost sure there is a white version of g2x, not painted or anything, a real white version, but i believe it is only available in asia/europe.....i havnt seen it in canada at least
anyways that looks exactly like the stock cover for the white version, i guess that explains the high price. I hope its not a black one painted white that would be very disappointing lol

Review of White Cover:
Pros
1. Fits perfectly just as stock
2. Gets a lot more attention on tables
3. It's glossy which matches the glossy screen
4. Tighter fit than stock
Cons
1. The cover seems a bit more "thicker" than stock but not significant yet noticeable
2. Some imperfections of the cover (e.g. 3 tiny little black ticks, imperfection on one corner)
3. Black screen, black top cover, silver bezel, and white back cover doesn't go as well as I thought.
4. Silver Google thingy on the back is not flush where it connects with the flash/camera thingy
Overall: 8/10 Feels like a new phone but i'm not a fan of the thicker cover. I want to say it was repainted but it's definitely not. Looks like a non LG re manufactured item but they used the wrong thickness on the material.

I think this is the reason why I couldn't find any white covers earlier... I doubt these are OEM.

You can replace the black screen too.

Can we change black screen as easy as snapping the back cover?
White is different but it looks pretty odd with a black front but a white back.

You're going to have to do a bit of handy-work if you're interested in that. Only do this if you're 100% confident in your abilities; it's a simple process, but not that difficult to break a tiny part, thus leaving your phone useless.

Advice with original (I don't think so) white housing bought on ebay

Hi all
This is my first post here so I should present myself firts. I'm from A Coruña (a city of Spain) and have desire with CreativeSense rom (2.3.5 and sense 3.5). I like my desire but the housing had a lot of scratches so I decided it was time to change for the white one.
I bought this h t t p :// w w w .ebay.es/itm/300618827683 thinking that it was original from HTC. The housing arrived a few days ago but I'm really dissapointed with it.
My old housing has a kind of rubber coat (you know what I mean if you have one) but this new white housing hasn't it. The new white one has a ceramic-style coat that when you push with the nail it jumps into bits, it has its first scracth yet in a corner (maybe because shipping)
White desire was not sold here in Spain so I don't know if the white housing has the rubber coat too. Maybe someone here has one and can clarify this.
I'm thinking about claiming my money back through paypal/ebay.
Cheers.

Correct me If im wrong but I don't think the desire ever retailed in white, so the new bezel and back you bought will be 3rd party made which is why they have a different feel / scratch easy.
If you arn't happy with your product contact the seller and see if they will accept a return based on the fact it was "damaged" on arrival. You may have to pay for postage back to the seller and you will not get a refund on the original postage but seeing as you paid $30 I would try and return it.
If the seller doesn't comply take it up with paypal!

I do not believe that was a Desire in white, therefore HTC would not do only the white cases

The desire was indeed offered in white here in Singapore.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

The desire was retailed in white in some countries. Here is a video unboxing a white desire: h t t p : / / w w w . youtube.com/watch?v=jnsQCrGseBY
My main question is about the white desire housing coat. If it's soft-rubbered I'm going to claim thought paypal because seller send me a non original part (saying it was original from htc). If it's non rubbered It means that my housing could be an original one so I'll only ask the seller to send me another battery cover without scratchs.
Thanks for your replies.

it was also sold here in austria in white. Had one in my hands, and it feels definitively different compared with the original color. So might be original!

The desire retailed here in Sweden in white. It does indeed have a slippery coating. Did not enjoy it compared to my brown one. Yours might actually be a original.

Here (in Belgium) the Desire bravo is sold in either brown or brilliant white. I personally wanted a black cover, but its not available here... The brown just looked nasty, so went for the wite. It does not have the rubber surface u speak of, but the paintwork isnt scratched so easy either. However, after a year now, paint on the corners tend to fade away, showing the initial white plastic. Buying a white desire was a bad idea. But since i really dont like a brown phone, i had no other choise..

Which color do you like the most?

Which one is your favourite?

Mirror Black. Glass is something new & better imo, (antennas) and if it's glass, don't make it to look like metal.

Not too fussed as it'll be thrown in a case and I'll not see it again until I sell it on ebay next year lol. I would prefer the Midnight Black though as it'll likely show less dirt and finger print smudges than the shiny Mirror finish version.

Midnight Black, the mirror black is only a fingerprint magnet.

Midnight Black, as it's the only one with 256GB of storage. But I'm getting a full body case as soon as I can anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

I pre-ordered mine in midnight black

in case of Midnight black, wouldn't keep asking you if its metallic of mirror?

The white looks lovely....

Midnight, I really like its low profile elegance.
Last year seen a bit too much of glossy glass backs.
Dual tone looks good in glass, but single tone black is not appealing for me.
Midnight has a certain moderate gloss in bright light which I like a lot

First time I'm actually torn between choosing a colour. All three look great to me.
I'm thinking mirror black just because it is said to have oleophobic coating, which would help remove fingerprints quite easily (inadvertent wiping when putting it in your pocket for example).
Im thinking midnight black just because it seems to be the safe choice, most clean/stealthy looking, and it's usually the type of colour I go for when purchasing smartphones.
Silk white because it has this beauty/elegance to it, with the rose gold trim.
I'm probably going to get opinions of friends and family and go from there, just because of how confused I am with the choices lol

The white for me, the should have done a gloss white version also as that would look really nice.
So how long till they start dropping the other colors? Oh wait, once everyone has already bought the device....just like always lol

I would like top get mirror black, glass with any extra cover and minimum 256gb storage.
I do not understand why they cannot make 256gb version in any color.
However, oneplus retarded enough not to put cheap wireless charging coil under glass back cover.
Now I will have to buy external wireless charging coil !!

The results are in, and it seems it is a split between midnight black and silk white. Virtually no one recommended I get the mirror black because of fingerprints being visible all the time.
They also reminded me I'm a case person so that would end up hiding the gloss finish as well lol (given I don't use a clear case).
I'm still torn between the colours, but hey, at least it's now between two colours!

Silk white..... I am going to put a dbrand skin on it anyways, but when I don't have a skin on it I want it to be something that shows no fingerprints.

I went with mirror black because everyone else is buying midnight Black. ?
One a serious note, it won't really matter as the back will be covered by iron man case. ?
Plus, I can show off that mirror back when I want by just removing the case on special occasions. Haha ?

I liked the silk white, yesterday at the popup I got the midnight black - the back really hides fingerprints well - nothing like the reflective clear mirror black.

Midnight because of 256GB of storage, but I grabbed the nylon case too.

I got mine...
Mirror Black...
It's beautiful and the smudges wipe off very easily.
The coating oleophobic is very good this time...
