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.

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

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.

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

[Q] Optimus One Complete cover change?

Hi all!
I've bought a Silver O1, 'cause it was the last in stock, at the shop
Does anyone knows if exists a way to change the all cover to black one?
Thanks

I have the all black, and wouldnt mind a silver case
I'm sure in time there will be different colour plates available for optimus one, I saw a few which I thought were cases but turned out to be different coloured gel cases =(

I think no, because the black one costs more

You know what would be nice, a complete white cover.

You can find many complete covers on ebay. But they are only over current cover, not a replace. Does anybody found the replace one?

Ships only to Italy

Can't we order covers from the LG service representatives? It's possible in Nokia services.

Wohoo! Exactly what I was looking for. Just wondering how tough will be to replace ? Anyone has done ?
** FIX **: actually i´m looking for the front. Anyone ?

I've seen a lot of T-mobile replacement phones with no battery covers. In the first place, how could you lose the battery cover?
*not referring to the thread creator, i just noticed I've seen too many of these.

Only black and white?

[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.

[Q] Official S6 case cover any good?

I'm planning on buying an s6 next week. I'm really interested about the case and have watched videos about it however I want to here more opinions from the users themselves. Thanks in advance to anyone who can a short review and post a picture.
Guys im talking about the quick window case from samsung

I have the OEM Protective Cover in Black Sapphire to go with my S6 of the same colour. Basic protection but fits nicely. Will try and get some photos up later on. Here's the link to the UK Samsung store so you can see it:

It does look nice, the black/blue changes depending on the angle of view

Looks good on the phone. Absolutely useless if you change the LCD density in build.prop (my main reason for rooting any android phone)
