How much was it and does it cover the screen or only the body
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

I spent 4 dollars plus shipping on Amazon prolly like 8 bucks total... It covers just the body but I put it over My screen protector...

That looks awesome! I hope you don't mind, I posted your pics in the ATT note discussion on whether to get black or white. You actually cemented my idea to get black and then skin it later if I wanted. I think yours looks better than the black or the white!

does the vinyl cover the "lit up buttons"? or do they shine through?

They shine thru.... The skin plus the case looks amazing everyone thinks its actually the white phone... Gettting best of both worlds lol

Case
What case did you use in post number one? It looks fantastic!

Very cool. Getting one right away. Thanks for sharing!

I just ordered three from a guy on ebay. They look the same but the buttons are cut out instead of shining through. I included the link to their page. They have a bunch of different styles you can pick from. I am very pleased with mine.

Anyone wanna trade a white one for a black one?

I just got my white Mytouch 4G in the mail, its brand new, just opened it and have been using it all day. I just saw the black one in the store and really sad i didnt get a black one. If anyone wants to trade and they live in San Diego.. Let me know! If not ill have to send it back and wait for the black one to come in the mail.
Good thing I didn't get the white one. It was between that and the black one I have now. Looks more sleek to me and the rubberized sides are a plus. Good luck with the trade.

[Q] Wanting to replace black housing

I have the black skyrocket and I would like to change the housing to white. I would even consider another color. Has anyone found a site or know where I can get the housing pieces? I know that I will have to replace the front screen due to the border being black on mine.
Any help would be great. Thanks!!
You're gonna end up spending more on those pieces than you did for the phone.
the complete front panel with screen is $220. that's more then the phone its self if you got it on contract.

I did find a few site that had them and I have also come to the same conclusion that you guys pointed out. It will cost me more to place everything to make it white. I will just have too stay black or find one on ebay that the insides have crapped out.
Thanks again guys.

Aside from the "why did you get a black one, if you wanted a white one" question
Have you thought about just selling yours on ebay (or similar) and just getting a white phone? Like just about everything else, if you price the parts individually... It always costs more than buying the finished product. I guess White Out wouldn't cut it?

I didnt get white because i was impatient and didnt want to wait another week for a phone to come in. Its stupid now but i deal with it.

Have you looked at what would be involved in selling yours & getting a white one... Cost, Trade etc?

In the short time I had my SGS2, I read this tutorial on taking the outside housing off and sanding it down to give it a matte finish. I'm sure something like that can be applied to the Skyrocket, since it's nearly the same design. Take off the housing, paint it white, and replace it. The screen wouldn't be white, but maybe it looks good like that.

Black TMo One-S is here, picture inside.

Look what showed up at my work today.
It came directly from HTC for specific reps who won phones from HTC in April. I'd imagine they are releasing them very shortly since we received them as prizes today. Mine should be here in a few days and I'll check software versions to see if there are any differences.

No way!!!??! I shouldve waited...oh well lets see if the coating lasts like the international one
Sent from HTC one s
Well when i had talked to one of the higher ups at HTC in March, he said they planned on releasing the Black version at launch, but since the coating had the chipping issues they decided to delay it till they fixed it.
Hopefully this was the actual reason, and we don't have any chipping issues on these phones. I'll post some more pictures tomorrow or day after.
Ok cool thx, I wanna see if they fixed the problem

I can't see the picture:crying:
EDIT: It works now. Nice!
It does look sexy. Wow, though I do love my blue one.

this sucks if I woulda known T-Mobile was gettin this color I woulda waited..I might just go ahead and swap my blue housing for black now..I bought my phone used and its got a dent on the bottom right..is the chipping on the black housing really bad?

Hello Gents,
Just to clarify, is this available at retail? Is it still 16 Gigs of internal? Also, S3 or S4?
*I went online and only saw the "gradiant blue" model available. Not sure if it's worth me calling into customer care or not...
Thanks!
It's not retail yet

Cool. I'll check periodically.
My wife fell in love with the black model. She's still holding on to her GS2 and doesn't care for the GS3 or anything equal in size.

AT&T Shop $5 Atrix 2 Cases

- Otterbox White/Black Commuter
- Speck Red/Black Candyshell
- Body Glove Pattern Black Gel
There should still be some of these. I got the Otter and the Speck. Using the speck and the small pieces of plastic (Charger/HDMI and bottom) have broken, but the rubber keeps them together so it doesn't bother me at all.
Get them while you can!
Thanks for sharing! I already own the speck case, and I have to say its great! Gonna try the otterbox, Ive had one before for a different phone and it seemed pretty nice as well
I wish we could get those at that price in india..

Now, correct me if I am wrong here, but I'm pretty positive you can buy the accessories from the AT&T site without actually being on AT&T. They just want your money after all lol

I'm in New Zealand so I'm trying to order these cases and get them sent to me through a freight forwarder but I'm running into a little trouble, I put in the address but for some reason it never saves what I put into street line 2? (which I need so the freight forwarder can identify the package).
Anyone else run into this problem? Pretty frustrating.

Look what I did!

So I ordered a new housing and loud speaker so I could switch out black and white, wanted to share what I had done

It's creative one. :fingers-crossed:
Nice. I got white because I didn't want gray. Wish they had the black option by default
it doesn't look like it fits right though, seems your screen is raised more than the body. My body is a little more raised than the screen
Na it fits perfect looks exactly like my original except black instead of white I'm very happy with my piano keys
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
The hardest part was switching out the power buttons. The sticky tabs were a b***h to work around lol but with a little fines I got em in now all I need is a black sim tray for my white housing since it does not come included
Ps. It feels like I have a brand new phone again!

Yep just no sim card or loud speaker I ordered a speaker seperate so I could just pop it in and out whenever I wanted I still gotta get a black card tray for my white hoising.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
looks good. i think white housing with black buttons would look dope. To change the housing, you literally just pop it off right? no need to disconnect any ribbons or cables?
Nope it just pops off but be careful as some have reported breaking LCD screen with pry tool, I used a guitar pik

shame they don't sell the mainboard for the phone, you could almost build your own HOX from that site.
The at&t housing looks grey and the other one looks black, did they make a black one for the international?
