Does anyone sell Replacement outer cases? - Captivate General

I've managed to scratch the bejesus out of my captivate case, right beside the camera. Anyway, does anyone, anywhere sell that? Everybody seems to have the batteries, screens, etc but not this part.

ebay has a couple different sellers with the back housing. This is the cheapest I saw in a quick search

That's awesome. Thank you. What about that top section where the headphone jack is? Does anyone sell that with the usb port cover? My mom broke hers somehow......

Search Ebay for "i897 housing".
there are tons of results.

Cool....what part has the USB door and the headphone jack?

Nexus one replacement part needed
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement part for the outer shell of the nexus one? The part i need is the aluminum frame that goes around the screen, earpiece, trackball and loops around the lower back... (Picture attached)
I dropped it and the scratches arent bad ont he plastic parts, but the aluminum part near the top (where the earpiece is) is chipped like crazy. Anyone know where I can get this part?
Or if I buy a mock up phone, will it disassemble into the same parts as the external casing for the real thing? Please help! Thanks!

possible replacement parts source
Searching around for parts for a friends Nexus one myself and found this for the housing.
http://mobile.brando.com/google-nexus-one-replacement-housing_p05399c0670d088.html
Also found this one who supposedly lists parts for the various sub-assemblies http://www.lunacommerce.com/154-nexus-one-spareparts
Have a email sent in to the last one for what they are calling the P/N LNC-GPGNOMB Google Nexus One Mid Chasis. Kind of sucks cause that is really 2 boards and Im only needing the small board that has the sim connector and sd card connector that sits on top of the main motherboard.
Have one broken pin on the sim card that is preventing the phone from being usable at this point and not able to find just the replacement sim connector or the board its on, instead the whole main board would require replacement. doubtful its gonna be cheap either. Anyone have a damaged unit with these cards they want to get rid of?
anyone else having problems using the lunacommerce site? i sent for an enquiry for a part and it said the price was sent to email but is not there?
good to know all these parts are available
Can you fix that SIM connector pin with solder?
Does someone know if the dummy phone have the same material as the real one?
I have also scratches in the aluminium around the phone, wondering if I can take apart the dummy and replace this onto my real one.

Ive ordered from CNN as well, parts where nice and fit great... I too am interested in replacement body parts for the N1.
I just looked for some parts around Brando site...
If you enter "Nexus One" as a search string you get all parts they have:
http://mobile.brando.com/search.php?keyword=nexus+one&Submit=Product+Search
as for me, a bit cheaper that "CNN" proposes.

Bezel around USB port cracked/chipped

I've had my Captivate about six weeks now. This morning the door on the USB port wouldn't slide open, so I looked at the bezel, and a small piece had chipped out right behind the port. I carefully removed the chipped out piece, and the USB door opens fine now.
I called both AT&T and Samsung, AT&T wants $465.00 for a new phone, and Samsung wants me to send the phone in.
Anybody have any ideas where I can get a replacement bezel?
Lots of people looking, anybody got any ideas?
I believe you would have to replace the entire case, or at least the top half. review the teardowns to be sure, but I don't know where you will find it. If you know which part, www.cnn.cn has lots of parts.
Thank you very much, I'll check it out.

Thanks for the help, but no luck. I've searched dozens of sites, and haven't found anything yet.
I managed to successfully superglue the chip back in place, without screwing up the function of the door or looking bad.
I would be curious to know of other people this has happened too, though.
I have not heard of it happening. Sounds like the phone got jerked when the USB cord was in and probably got jerked out sideways and cracked the housing.

Does anybody have a spare front speaker grill? :(

Hey guys,
I bent my speaker grill out of shape when I was trying to brush the chrome frame around it on the front cover. I managed to fit it back in, but it looks like crap.
Does anybody have a spare speaker grill from a broken housing lying around? I can't find any on ebay and I'd be willing to pay a few dollars plus shipping (I'm in Australia).
Thanks,
zuka

You should check out your local mobile store, and ask if there are any dummy sensation phones knocking about. The manufacturers sometimes uses actual hardware when building the dummy ones, and I would imagine, if they're a bit nice, they might let you have one.
Worth a shot.

[Q] Where to buy USB Micro B Housings

I am in the process of ordering parts to build a car dock cable found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321491
However, I am unable to find a housing for the plug to make it look pretty... I've searched digikey and mouser to the best of my ability, tried a variety of searches on Google, and searched a variety of categories on here to no avail.
I've found the plug shown here: http://search.digikey.com/us/en/products/10104109-0001LF/609-4051-ND/2350352
which is decent, though I cannot for the life of me find a housing for it.
The second post in the car dock thread lists an ebay auction (http://www.ebay.com/itm/300614526174#ht_5809wt_1163) for a connector with a housing, however I can't find anything similar to this other than prebuilt jigs without the cable "handle". I'd order it from here, but I don't particularly like waiting anywhere from 10 to 32 business days (holiday season as well) for such a small item.
Do any of you out there who have either built these types of cables or adapters know where I could purchase a housing, have any suggestions as to how to protect the wire, or can point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance
No luck with the housing... I'm debating whether I should make a liquid electrical tape mold and use that instead. Any chance that would harm the required resistor in any way?

How much are you looking at paying?
I use a cover from Platinum Communications, it's quite good, not perfect, but it's quite up there.
Pros
-Doesn't stick in your pocket
-Doesn't change size dramatically with the temp.
-Doesn't flex and warp
-Extremely durable
-Doesn't mark easy
Cons
-Doesn't cover the rear camera as much as I'd like
-I had to modify the charger port hole to make it a little larger rather than a perfect fit
-Rough edges on the side
But other than that, I rate it highly.
Trying searching for Sensation Housing Cover Case on amazon.
I bought this one grey/black back plate from amazon, not as good as the oem, but it does the job. =)
