Changing Case Colour for HTC P3600

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

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.

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!

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

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+.

do-it-yourself is the cheapest way

you mean this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300618827683&ssPageName=ADME:X:EAC:US:3160
I ordered it like a week ago, will post here again when I get it and once again when I "install" it if you want.

[Q] Red battery door replacement?

This is more of a hardware question but I recently cracked the glass that covers the rear facing camera so I'm replacing the chassis inside. And I figured since I was popping it open anyway, does anyone know if there is anyway to get a Red colored replacement cover from the red Nexus 5 so I can sorta mod my white Nexus but with a red battery door? Do they even have that available?

Not seen anything yet but that's not to say they won't be available. There's a seller on eBay with the white/black covers so I'd assume they'll end up with the red ones

One thing to note is that you get the official battery cover so that it has the NFC and/or wireless charging receiver in it. Some sellers might have replicas but it might not have the chips built in.
sent from my neXus 5

This is the seller on eBay that does the OEM white/black ones:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/original_parts_mobile_99
Might be worth keeping an eye on them

Found this.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rear-Cove...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2337ba6411 Good luck!

Please can someone provide me with an eBay link for the white one .. I live in India and I would like to know if there are any near me..
I searched a lot on eBay and I found plenty but I don't know if they are the original ones or not .. Coz I heard if it isn't, the NFC is faked in the duplicate ones.. Please help me find a white one, thanks!

[Q] Painting flip case (White > Black)

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.

The guy I bought it from (via ebay) only has the white variant. The thing is, here in the Netherlands I can't seem to find a black variant.. If you've seen one, let me know!

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.
