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

great page
i have many same cover full

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

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;

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.
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.

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..

I've been looking around for a replacement housing for my G2, it's pretty knocked up (bought it 2nd hand), had a look at faulty used phones and official replacement housing, but both are surprisingly expensive (you wouldn't believe how much people pay for an old waterdamaged phone with an unrepairable screen and dents left right and centre.
Anyway, I've seen a full housing (minus screen/ glass) by Ecell which is (quote) "New Genuine ... For HTC Desire Z", previously it was £300ish on eBay, I've now seen it for under a tenner (still direct from Ecell).
Thing is it's black, so the use of the word "genuine" is questionable (do they mean "genuine" Ecell, or "genuine" HTC?), although in the description they say "Official HTC product". Also I've never bought anything Ecell before.
I just wanted to know if any of you guys have bought one of these replacement housings, or anything from Ecell before? Feedback would be greatly appreciated .
Best I have found is about 40$ for a full housing replacement OEM, if considered it the past but haven't been able to justify that just for aesthetics. I recently stopped using my dock and just use one of the original T-Mobile cases I fond for a few bucks (thick rubber, bulky but real nice) since then I gave up on pretty.
Never bought from ecell before so I couldn't attest to their reputation

I've seen the E-CELL product on eBay for about 10 pounds and it seems a good price for it.
However, while I'm not sure of its' quality, for that value I'd be willing to take a risk and see what's it about.
@demkantor Thanks, according to Google $40 = £25, and official HTC housing goes for around £30, which is absurd 'cause that's well over half of what I paid for my G2. I don't fancy a case, the Vision is already thick and heavy without one (can you even use the keyboard with a case on? )
@geojoking Yep, that's the one I found, previously £300 (wtf?!). Unless anyone highly cautions against Ecell I might go for it, besides as you say it is less than £10 so probably worth the risk. Anyway, if I do get it I can post a review here !
you can slide it fine, i would prefer not to use one but im running low on spare phones at the moment and i dont mind the bulk, but yes definitely bulkier!
i believe the original leaked photos of the g2/dz were of a black model or at least real dark grey. supposedly there is some mystic black version that is near impossible to get a hold of with a different bootloader then all the others, it had a different name but fell under the vision still i believe... cant remember much about it
so that would mean its possible these are genuine and being they were once 300 that may mean that ecell had them since the very beginning as when phones first come out parts like this tend to cost more than a new phone! they could have gotten the original casting and colors prerelease to the public... just a thought
either way for that price go for it, if it turns out not to fit not a huge loss, if it works great then you have one of the few(if any) black visions!
i would suggest getting some 3m adhesive tape (2mm?) as moving the digitizer will require this as well as holding down the flex. let me know how it turns out! maybe ill try it myself
I saw these a while back, almost bought it but was sceptical of the quality. Really wish I did now..
