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:

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!

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.

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!
anyone know where i can buy just an external speaker, mine is shot
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.

Hi guys,
I have a minor damage on my backplate and would like to replace it.
Maybe it's through a fall or due the often replacement of it (battery out and in)
I prefer one with a good quality, a white one would also be nice.
Did anyone of you already bought a new one?
I'm looking for a shop that accepts paypall.

Replacement backplates
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?

** 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?
Im from the UK and have looked everywhere to try and find a place that sells the original stock self healing back cover that came with the phone.
I lost the original, can anyone please help.

Just like Wiro i ordered both red versions (flamenco and volcano red). One came with a dented usb cutout and no infrared cap, but the other is pretty nice. The color of both covers looks identical, yet it is different from my original red cover, but only slightly. The original red cover i have has a more metal look. I just want this phone to last me some time so grabbing some spare parts isn't a bad idea.
hope it helps you guys.

i tried removing the infrared part of my old busted cover and putting it in the one wich came without and was dented near the usb port, figured that i'd first use that one instead of using the perfect one.
it fitted but you need something like a hot part of metal to melt the little pins that stick out a bit or the infrared part will fall out the whole damn time and the cover won't even fit.
The one that came with the infrared part is the red one on the aliexpress color selection.
The purple (wich is also red) came without infrared part for me and was dented near usb port.
Hope this helps.
Do those replacement covers also have the self healing feature coating and do they show the circular pattern on the back?
the original scratched so easely, and these replacements don't ... so i'm suspecious about my original cover in the first place.
the replacements do have a rubbery feel to them if you try to scratch them with your nail, so i suspect it has the coating yes.
far less scratches on the replacements then my original cover ...

Thanks for all the info!
Which red? Flaminco or Volcano? The page now has red at the end of both so I can't choose the "red" version with the infrared part.
