p3700 backcover to hide camera - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories

Hi
Is there any backcover for Htc P3700 Diamond which would hide the back camera as i am not allowed to carry a camera phone in office and was thinking if we have a cover so i can use my phone in office too?
Its a 2G phone so only need to hide the back camera!!

you also have a camera at the front...
maybe also a "frontcover"
even with another cover, it's still a photo-mobilephone...

As i mentioned above its a 2G phone so no camera in Front...but was hoping there would be some back cover that would hide the camera. Searched over the google but couldnt find anything.
Any other suggestions.

Well I guess that there is no cover like that but why not buying a normal one and then covering the hole with some plastic and glue?

A bit of tape on the inside of the cover and then take a sharpie to the outside maybe?

Paint it black

Cameraless Back Cover for P3600

Is there such thing as a back cover without camera hole for the Trinity?
It would be nice to have one, specially for those like me that work on a cameraphone restricted workplace. I know there's still the front camera, but that one can easily be disguised or covered with a small sticker or something.
Any ideas?
TIA!

Very good case, covers the backside completely but is foldable to uncover the camera. Stays in place with a magnet.
i think he meant a housing without the camera hole, not a carrying case
Thanks but even though that case is nice, our guards are not that stupid and they always ask you to take the device out of the case or holster.
I think I will order a normal replacement cover and use some sort of epoxy to cover the camera hole... I'll post my results later...
So far I haven't find any battery cover without a camera hole... I think there is a potential market if someone manufactures this type of accessory don't you think?

Hmm, I know this may sound like a difficult approach, but if you don't find one, you might buy a normal trinity back cover, and modify it to cover the camera. It shouldn't be too difficult (if you've used similar tools before).
I'd pro'bly go with removing the original camera frame (metal) replace it with one with only the loudspeaker hole. Shouldn't be too difficult to make out of, say, sheet metal or plastic.

Well, they may be.
If this was proper security, then surely the guards would realise that most phones today have a camera and would want the back taken off the phone to check?
I can't see any difference between removing the phone from a case and removing the back from the phone.
If this is the security at your company, then I would expect your competitors to have loads of pictures taken by empoyees who have got past the guards
Light hearted, slightly flippant, comment, have you ever tried to buy a phone without a camera these days?
All this so called security which we have to put up with is basically nonsense. They will confiscate a camera phone but not notice a Sony digicam hidden in your sandwich box.
Coincidently, my employer has just given me a brand new Nokia for work. I don't know what it is - it does not have a camera, and has a torch light on it instead!
LOL this may get dropped or lost in the next few days
fake sense of security people need to lighten up and notice
how poor most camphones quality is

Camera and light holes...

From the clips I've seen online and I think on the diamond, the holes in the back cover for the camera lens and (in the case of the touch pro) the light, have a clear plastic lens within the back cover which some reviewers criticised because it could get smeared with fingerprints etc.
Taking the back off mine this morning to put battery and sim in, noticed that there is no clear plastic cover, the square 'frame' is there in the back of the back cover to mount such a piece but it has not been fitted (assuming mine hasn't fallen out).
Same with everyone else?

Yep, same here, you're all good.

Well ours are inset, so I wouldn't worry about fingerprints, but what does worry me is that now it's easier for dirt to get trapped in there.. At least it's easy to clean it out without the plastic cover, imagine trying to get a Q-tip down in there?
Easier to just slide the back of to clean the lens if need be.

Exactly, but if they put a plastic cover on the back like the Diamond, you couldn't get dirt out from inside the case. Major PITA.

Clean camera lens

Hi Everyone
Does anyone know how to take apart the VOX so that the camera lens can be cleaned... mine has some moisture behind it the lens cover.
I have tried to find a service manual but cant find one...
Anyone know ?
Cheers

You can carefully pry off the silver back (saying 2.0 megapixels) with a small knife and then you'll have access to the plastic lens-cover, which also can be removed. It's just glued to the back.
However, I have the same problem... It's like a haze on the plastic, haven't been able to clean it :-( Have been thinking to just remove the plastic lens cover, pictures are much clearer without it!

Same problem here but I'm afraid the camera lens won't take the dirt and dust which it is exposed to even when using and transporting the phone very carefully. Thus I did not remove the cover yet, although the photos do look somewhat hazy.

How to improve fit of back cover

I recently bough the extended battery pack (HTC BP E270) and I am satisfied with the new look and feel of the phone, not to mention the improved up time. One very disappointing thing however, is that the new back cover comes off very easily. Simply pulling the phone out of my pocket makes the cover fall off.
The cover is not broken in any way.
Is there a way to make the cover fit tighter so that it doesn't accidentally fall off.
Put glue under it or something I got the same problem as you, backcover to my 1800 mAh is very plastic and the bottom is not fully pressed onto the phone or what should I say.
Thanks Artie. I would however, like to be able to change the cover for the slimmer one at certain occasions. How do you remove the cover if you glued it onto the phone?

I use double sided tape.
actually, some ordinary transparent tape might be enough to do the trick.
i don't have an extended battery myself so i don't know why exactly it doesn't fit properly, but maybe you can tighten the hold a little at some places by putting some tape on your phone near where the cover holds onto your phone.

I have the same original HTC extended battery, It fits right but comes off very easy.
What is blue tac? And where to apply it?

A replacement for rear camera lens cover

Hi all
I have a few annoying scratches on my rear camera lens cover (whatever it is glass or plastic?). Can this part be replaced without having to replace the whole camera module?
I can't seem to find this part listed anywhere on aliexpress or ebay. Plenty of these are available but they look more like a cover to be put on top of the original rear camera.

Or are they actually the replacement for the original cover? Please someone helps enlighten me
Thanks
Or is it actually part of the back cover? I can't quite make it out from all pictures I saw on the internet.
Will take the back cover off and see for myself tonight. In the meantime if anyone has anything to share, that'd be much appreciated too

You probably noticed already that it's part of the bacover. I replaced mine for the same reason, but I wouldn't expect it's waterproof anymore, so please don't drop it into the toilet
Original back cover.
