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.

This thread has a link to a .rar file archive (opens with WinZip) containing a really good MS word doc showing how to disassemble your trinity Click Me!

I also had to open my black Trinity in order to solve the peeling problem. Because I have seen many users requiring for instructions on how to open their phones I decided to write a detailed step by step tutorial. You can find the guide in this thread

Does anybody know if there are cases to change my Trinity's colour?
I bought the black one, but I like more the white one
So I was wondering if changing the cover is possible... I've searched a lot, but no success.
Funny I have a white one and really want a black one. If you lived near London and the outer case was easy to remove, we could have swapped.
This is a common psychological problem... both of you thought well before deciding to buy I'm sure.... But once you buy the black, you wish if you have the while... and if you bought the white you wish if you have the black...
HTC have no plan to issue a rom update to solve this problem
However the white trinity have an advantage of not peeling off the paint around the rim....
The black version have the advantage of looking more sexy

Nice analysis but the real story was, I always knew I wanted a black one (I previously had a black M600). But I had a choice of a free upgrade from Orange UK (white only) or buy a black one for around £400. No choice really...
Get a silicone case and all your problems will be solved
How would a white silicon case look on a black trinity?
I've looked everywhere but i could not find any new cases for Trinity...my problem is that not even after 24h i had this pda my dog reached it on the table and it dropped on the floor making two quite big scratches on my case :/ so if any would see cases for trinity plz let me know oh, and I want white one ;p
According to HTC you can switch the cases. But only at the local service-centre. There is a service centre in Belgium, but they ask E-30,- for the switch, and you cant have back the old (black/white) covers.
Maybe if you really like to switch the covers, you can mail HTC europe for the addresse of your service centre.

Bastiaan
You have to change the keypd too.
See : http://cnn.cn/shop/htc-c-277.html?osCsid=cb110d09aa47e0bc102163d4afb0b2a1
No cover yet for the P3600.
Ask CLB
He wrote instructions of how to paint peeled-off trins. Perhaps his method is also valid for the plastic cover. Maybe you can paint your Trin red, pink or flowered!
I did not paint.
I removed paint.
HAHAHA! Great delivery.

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.
Hello,
I'm looking for a white color case for my htc desire. I have found on ebay a beautiful white cache, but it's only the battery cache... i need the front case too.
Do you have any link for me please?
note : i'm not looking for a protection case, i want to change the original (brown/black) case to white.
Thanks you!

IMHO you can either sell your black desire and buy a white one (google "htc desire white", your sure already did), or disassemble it and paint any part you want white, by yourself
I've seen them around
The part you are looking for is called a bezel. Its the part that is around the screen. I've seen them in white on ebay but they are usually expensive $50+.

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.

I am trying to find a replacment back for my S4. I have the black version and I really like the color of the front but not the pattern on the back. I would like to find a replacement that matches the front without the pattern. I have found some some various ones, but I cant tell how closely they match the front. I was hoping that some one has purchased a back like this. If anyone has, let me know where you got it.

There are a hundred of them on Amazon. Just read the reviews for each.
The common answers you will see are that aluminum plates look really nice but kill the radio signal and NFC signal.
For the plastic ones they come in every color of the rainbow. Some fit great, some don't. But they are usually like $1 so if one doesn't work, just try a different one.
I spent quite a bit of time looking, which is why I came here. I was hoping to see if someone else has already gone through the same thing. It seems to me like there are a million aluminum backs but not very many plastic ones. You are correct that they are fairly cheap, but with shipping and everything they are on average around $5. This does add up after a few, and I would rather not have a stack of unused $5 backs sitting around. Its fine if it doesn't exist, I just figure I would see. I trust peoples real experience over pictures and descriptions.

The real people feedback from Amazon is the best you're going to get on the internet. In 10 years it's rarely let me down.
One backplate I can guarentee will fit perfect are the colored varients for Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T. Sprint as a Purple S4, At&t has a blue one and a red one, and Verizon for some strange reason, has a brown one.
On the actual colored phones the front is purple, blue, or brown as well. But the backplates are colored as well and are stock Samsung. I got a purple backplate on ebay that was made for the Sprint varient. Works great. Looks awesome. Cost me like $8 with shipping. They are not available on Amazon. But they are readily available on eBay. Make sure it's from a US based seller and that the picture shows the SAMSUNG or carrier logo on the back. Otherwise god only knows what you're getting from en ebay seller.
Purple shows the SAMSUNG logo for the Sprint model
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-SAMSUNG...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item58a754b48f
Red shows the AT&T globe for their model
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Battery-Doo...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3a8741a664
Veirzon probably brands their as well but I didnt' look up the brown one.
You get the idea....
The only catch is that they have the same checkered pattern in the color that the black one you have now has. But it's not as noticible with the colors.
Or you can get a stock white battery door and it won't have the pattern and will be plain white.
The 6 pack on Amazon fits extremely well and has solid black. PM me If you want mine. I wanted the Girly colors.
