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
I have the trinity in black
and i found white cover on Ebay for 22 euros ship included

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

Yeah I ordered the Black and White versions and got a refund because I actually purchased them for 20 bucks a piece right before they went down in price.
Ill try and post pictures if I get them first but let me know if there is a review you find or if anyone gets theres first. Definitely want to see if the quality is there.

So actually you haven't receive the cases yet?

No I havent received them just yet. Sorry for the confusion.

I own the case in purple, I've had it for about a week, I am absolutely in love with it, I got it on ebay for 10$ and It was worth every dime, it adds bulk but I like to know my device is protected, it makes me feel like I can throw my phone on my bed when I get home and it wont break, I have the xtremegaurd installed with it front and back, and the case just feels great, the cut outs are perfect, and the microphones are covered with mesh to keep out air? I guess? The cover on the headphone jack and the cover on the charging port is a nice add on, havent really used the stand much but its sturdy, doesn't feel cheap at all, enjoy the case guys

Purple? As I know, there are only 3 colours: black, white and red.

got one a few days ago, looks and feels good. I also have the black one since september

Why did ya get both? Does the finish feel the same? Is the quality any better? What do yo think of Sony releasing it, good idea or what? Does it seem more sleek? Which do you prefer?

I like it but it costs more from what I have seen so I don't think I'll update my black SW2. By the time it drops in price the new Sony watch will probably be upon us

the quality is exactly the same, no different from the black metal one. it's all a matter of taste. but it looks very classy rather than the black one. the price I got it for was 145 euro from an online seller here in Greece. I had paid 165 for the black one back in September when it first came out.

Which will you wear more? I just got a silver and a black metal band. It'll make it look classy. Nylon looks tacky to me. I love my sw2 . The silver one is silver all around . You all should post pics of your silver watch. Or any watch w. Custom band

[Gear S3 Owners - Show Your Straps]

I haven't gotten my S3 yet but when I do i'm going to look for a few straps. Probably pick up a leather strap at the samsung retail store but if anyone has any suggestions feel free to post them here.

I Ordered 3 straps from amazon.
One leather and two metals. They are less than $15 each. Samsung will cost you a lot more.

the colors match perfectly for the polished stainless parts and the machined finish parts in the middle are pretty close to the same texture as the bezel on the classic. It really makes the watch a lot more attractive and I've gotten quite a few compliments from people that just notice a nice looking watch on my wrist.

Thanks for the info! Unfortunately it doesn't ship to where I live (nothern Europe).

I ordered the Samsung Aligator Brown and plain Black leather straps for my Frontier, only tried the Brown (looks way better in the box than the black).
Transforms the watch into a very chunky premium looking beast, strap loses the bulk of the horrible rubber strap.
Strap itself though feels hard and cheap underneath, length wise the slots are all wrong i barely get the the 3rd hole, but don't mind as then less strap excess hanging out.
Bought it direct from Samsung UK online.

I like it, although I don't love the gap between the watch and the band - you can see it in the third picture. I'm not sure if it's going to be different with any other band, but seems like it would look better with just a little thicker band around the connection pin.
I had gotten the V-Moro one, which looked nice, but didn't have the fine adjustment of length at the clasp, just the ability to remove links, which left me either too tight, or too loose.

Received a red Stingray leather watch band from Suisse Courroie.
