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.

But the black one shows the HTC logo, it's a question of ask them if the with one have it.
cheers
anyone know how to change the housing? anyone know where to find maybe a service manual?
thanks.
i'll figure out how to remove the old cover once the replacement covers arrive... i ordered 2, just in case i wanted to switch to the white one.

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

Howdy,
I have an australian Telstra Diamond and it has this gay little Telstra T on its back battery cover. What i was wondering is, does anyone have one that is the original Diamond cover with no branding on the back that they want to sell or give me kindly? New ones are like $60 and if someone has bought an extended battery or something and have their old one sitting around, then i could put it to use!
Anyways, just thought i would ask. PM me or something.
I saw diamond back covers on ebay for 25$.

i sent you a private message
Still haven't found one, Weeziana isn't replying to my PM's, does anyone have one of these here covers without any operator logos?
I was looking for a back cover for my Diamond too as the glass broke over the camera. It doesnt effect the camera but it can it water gets in,
I have the US model, I cannot find any back covers for it. Someone was selling a back cover on ebay but it wasnt for the US model.
If you're not buying a back cover for a US model, I think you can get OEM HTC back covers at cnn.cn
If anyone knows where to get OEM HTC US Diamond back covers please let me know.
bout a new g2x yesterday from tmobile but the original screen plastic stuff that comes on it looks like it was mis centerd a little bit wondering if anyone elses was like that? and on the back on the sim card plate it says A164 i was just wondering if this is a referb'd or original cause im not sure the date on the box said 4/24/11
It's not refurbed. Those stickers are just protectors for shipping and not meant to be perfect.
I have a question. I ordered a new Sim/SD tray for my s3 and i went to replace it but it will not clip in. Looking at it closer it looks like there is already a motherboard clip in it . I don't know if that makes seance but that is what it looks like . Does anyone have any idea of what this is or was it a wrong part shipped.
Can anyone recommend somewhere I can buy a custom case, but a flip cover one?
I want to add my own photo, but I can only find hard back covers and I want one like this: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/mercury-wallet-stand-case-for-sony-xperia-m2-black-p47345.htm
Or this: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/nillkin-sony-xperia-m2-view-case-white-sparkle-p47284.htm

Thanks for the reply.
Nowhere in this country seems to sell customisable ones for the M2.
I want it as a Christmas gift for my wife, so got plenty of time to find one.
