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.

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.
cover available
Hi

great page
i have many same cover full
black
white/silver
white/black
=)
if you want contact me
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.

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!
How to disassembe your Trinity.
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

Anyone know where we can find a seller of replacement cases for the tornado. (I have the non-m version). Now that I have a great looking WM6 build on the phone deserves a refresh on its very worn case.
Where are you from? Might as well go to HTC centre

US. (I should have added my location to my profile before now.) So a trip to HTC centre would be more than the phone. What is HTC Centre like?
It's just a service centre, nothing much.

Do they sell replacement cases? Mine is an iMate branded gray SP5, but I am not that particular. I would pay extra for a black one.
I have the tools to install it. I just can't buy one here.
They do sell, the last time I asked, but they have to fix it for you, and HTC is giving after sales service to Dopod in malaysia, not sure if they would fix SP5. And they have to include their service charge for you. Just so you know, they quoted me the price for the casing, in 3 diferent parts, if im not mistaken, its the battery cover, front casing, and the bezel. Total with the workmanship is around RM200, which is around 200/3.5 USD. Not worth it
i got replacement cases for qtek 8300 & 8310 (sp5 & sp5m) via ebay.
Seller?

Dear kkrull,
Sorry, we have no housing\covers for the iMate SP5.
- wiwaycn
Here is one. Cheapest one I've ever seen on eBay.
I would like a new housing for my T-Mobile SDA, but my keypad is also scratched up and nobody sells the keypad. Not much point to replace the housing if the keypad looks like crap.
Actually, I think the SP5 housing looks nicer and I wouldn't mind to switch, but not only would I need the keypad but also the button PCB behind it and I can't find anyone selling those.
I would even be happy if I could find some spray paint that exactly matches, but I can't find that either.

But the SDA and the Tornado are different phones right? I don't think this would fit on my Tornado/SP5.
My old case said 'Qtek' But now it's T-mobile SDA (this is the sp5m). The cases were identical, except for the letters. I completely wrecked my sp5 though. The tools were included in the package. Got it from Hong Kong. I'll try to find a link

The one I linked to is for the SP5, the black and silver 2-tone housing.
The USA SDA is a Tornado. It's the same as SP5m, but has an antenna hump.
nope

I wish it were. Mouse over the link and you can see that it says "genuine tmobile sda htc sonata" and the pictures on that sale clearly show the rounded cover of the Sonata so unless the parts for the Sonata and the Tornado are interchangable this housing will not work.

It's missing one of the antenna point. The white has 3 and for me in the US, need to use all 4 or we get crappy service. lol
I hope that's not a real issue.. I ordered one so I'll post pics and a review when I get mine.

For $81? Jesus.
Seller upped the price. Earlier it was half that IIRC LOL. 81 bux, hellz no. I have a case already thanks
I'm also wondering if its genuine HTC quality or a cheap quality fake cover.

Price is ridiculous. Wait for more ppl to start selling on eBay. This sells for 150 RMB in China, roughly $23 US dollars.

I covered the one connector that the white case doesn't have (with a McDonalds monopoly piece) and the signal is worse, but it is not terrible.
With the case correctly on: ~-75dBm, 19asu
With the monopoly piece on upper left metal: ~-83dBm, 15asu
With the case off: ~-113dBm, 0asu (no bars )
I'm willing buy to this and try it but does anyone have a picture of a normal black sensation with this white battery cover?
Also want to see how it looks on a black sensation...

I'm also thinking if the antenna is bad I have an extra oem back I will experiment and see if i can take the one off the original case and put it on the white case.
Gonna order mine next week. Can we replace the missing antenna connector on the white case with our own from the stock black case?
Also, does anyone make white glass screens for our phones yet? I've searched extensively but haven't been able to locate one on my own

Thats what I am going to try with my antenna
Has anyone tried this on TMOBILE? Sensation?
Mine came in today. It looks amazing. My wifi signal is ironically better than with the stock casing. I now get two bars in my bathroom instead of zero to one like before. I have yet to test tower connection though.
And to the poster above me, I have a sensation 4g and it fits and works perfectly.

Finally someone with the S4G, and what place did you get yours? I would like to buy this along with the actual phone (lol), I'm kinda bored of having all black phones.
Hi guys,
Just got my new flip case for the Note Edge, but unfortunately it is white while my phone is black. I searched but couldn't find an existing "painting cases" thread. Does anyone know what the best method would be, and if it is possible in the first place? Since the flip case has a somewhat leather like texture and contains stitches I am not sure if it is possible at all..
Thanks in advance!
Can you not exchange it for Black?
Painting pleather is probably not a good idea, it will be real hard to keep the texture.

I'm also using a white flip case over my charcoal black note edge, I find the combination really nice, in fact I bought another one for standby.
