hi there
i just got myself a Wallaby to experiment with the PPC world and so far have been enjoying it greatly.
the thing is, the Wallaby that i got has crack and scratches and i un really like it. as such i would like to buy a new casing.
i tried doing searches and pm-ing those who sold cases but did not get a reply. i guess the information could have been outdated.
as such i would like to ask if there is any place that i can get an XDA casing. i live in singapore and would thus appreciate a site/person who does international shipping if it is located overseas.
also while we're on the topic of replacement, are there any good sites/members selling other accessories as well?
looking forward to your replies. thank you so much in advance.
i got extra casing 1
i got slightly use casing. minor scratch. [email protected] email me if intersted. i send piccture
you can also try contacting the company that repackaged it like mine is from I-Mate, yours may be from O2 you can contact them and they will charge but replace it, I was given a price of $85.00 for them to replace my PDA2K housing and a new battery.

Hi,
My XDA fell out of my top pocket the other day and has now got a big dent in the cover. Can anyone tell me where I might buy a replacement cover preferably in the UK without having to send it away to O2 and be charged £75 for the privilage?
Spare O2 cover
Hi there,
I have an almost new 02 frontcover for you.
All the buttons in place of course.
Would this help?
Best regards,
Murk
Murk,
Thanks for the reply, but the whole case is a bit sad now, so I am really after a complete new (or as-new) case.
If you don't mind having it look like the T-Mobile XDA, just browse eBay and look for a Dummy T-Mobile XDA ($10-15US). Then take the dummy apart and your existing XDA and eventually swap the cases (front & back).
It takes a little bit of time taking it apart and transferring the mic/speaker/vibrate device/battery - but it's easy, just have to be careful and smooth.
Also, some folks say that the dummy phones are cheap plastic.... well, the case is identical to the original T-Mobile XDA so dispell that myth.
I just did this 'operation' myself today and now have a brand new looking XDA (I had the infamous paint peeling case. Couldn't get it replaced since I had it RAM upgraded).
Front and Backcover
Hee Angus,
It seems my first relpy did not make it.
I have a complete case for you.
I would prefer to hold on the backcover as the battery is in there.
But if you want it I could provide them to you with or without the
battery. :lol:
Let me know.
Best regards,
Murk
Do have a spare vibration motor? I really need one, mine broke.
Hi there* I have a T-Mobile PDA with a broken cover and wonder if anybody knows an adress in US or UK where I can buy a new one.*
It would be really great if you could help me out with this* THANKS* :lol:
if its still under warranty, contact t-mobile,
if they wont replace it for free, im sure its less than $70
(because thats how much they said they'll bill me, if my replacement turned out to have a cracked case )
i also heard you can use the "DUMMY PHONE" case, ebay $5-20
but that is made from cheap plastic.
Spare cover
Hi,
I have a spare 02 cover for you.
Would that help?
Looks perfect, I can send it to you if you make
me an offer I can't refuse.... :wink:

Hey everyone
Basically Im wanting to change the housing/fascia on my Vario III to the TyTN II housing and was just wondering if anybody has any experience doing this and how easy/difficult it was?
Been searching the net for tutorials on how to do it but so far found nothing!
Also the only place i can find to buy the housing in the UK is ebay but i dont have a paypal account so paying for this would be difficult so would rather use somewhere that i can just use my debit card to pay for it.
Any help would be greatly appreciatted.
Regards
Jamzi
For realz yo.. Paypal be de most easiest ting to setup.
Is the Vario that ugly? I have taken a tilt apart (a friends dog chewed on the thing) and I would say that it's not worth doing unless you really need to.
I've swapped mine to a standard HTC case from a rather scuffed vodafone branded one. I decided to just replaced the front cover around the screen and the battery cover as the main body was fine and I really couldn't be bothered to strip the motherboard out.
Although now I've bought a seido slim case you can't see it anyway, but least it looks better if I want to sell it.
Unless yours is really bad its not really worth it but fairly easy to do if your quite used to that sort of thing and have the right tools.
G
why change...???? the buttons on the Vario 3 are the best!!! just gently scratch away the T-Mobile logo with a scalpel, if that`s what you don't like.
I did that and it lookes great.
EDIT: Picture
Re
why didnt you bought a unbranded tytn in the first place...
it looks a little bit like car tuning, someone figures out his 1,1 liter engine is to small and decide to swap it with a 2.0 liter engine. at the end the cost are higher than buying a 2 liter in the fiirst place....
just scrap off the logo, flas a wwe rom on it and go. I think the cost and risk of damaging your fone are a lot higher then selling and rebuy a normal tilt...
I'll buy your vario III housing
id buy it as well, PM if you may want to trade or something. BTW: I have the OEM TyTn II Housing in great shape.
anybody know where to get a cheap black battery cover. the one that came with the device is full of scratches
also whats the cheapest place that sells the battery with its it external charger. simiar to this one for the diamond http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.17053 (this works well btw and its only $4)
i wish dealextreme sells x1 stuff
yea.. i am interested in getting a battery cover as well. mine is scratched... grrr... so easy to be scratched
nothing?
what about just a cheap stote that sells cheap x1 stuff?
Also looking for a black battery cover
EDIT: Found one although expensive http://ucables.com/ref/BATTERY-COVER-SE-X1-P-R89657
have you check with sony support about a battery cover? or is it just that expensive. i dont think you will find anyone making a battery cover other than sony for the x1. i could be wrong tho.
if you cover is that badly scratched, why not just sand it, leave the metal bare or paint it. put a cover on it and it will not be noticeable.

Do you think it's expensive? For original cover?

How about I give you my account number and you can withdraw the money yourself . Get real.
My cover got scratched from using a PDAIR case that is leather on the inside as well. It started taking the paint off the edges. Hopefully somebody finds something for less than 40$, which is a little ridiculous.
@megacrazy,
I agree w/ you. Maybe on that ebay listing put a offer in. Ive bought from that seller before and Ive put in $7-$15 cheaper than what his asking prices is and he's has accepted everytime. Its worth a try...worst case senerio is he say no. But i definitely agree w/ you $40 is alittle steep.

Haha...thanks for the tip. I put in 30$ and it was automatically accepted. Still a little steep but better than 40$. I guess we can test the waters next time with some 20$ offers
Has anyone seen their new cover? Mine just got scratches while in vacation. I need the new one and didn't find one on ebay.
Any help?

jimcat,seeing that you are based in HK, might be easier for you to contact/pay the seller than us. I would be interested but could I trouble you to get one instead of me buying directly from the seller?
sure... becsuse i want it too.
just want more orders so that i will buy it at once

jimcat00,
I am intersted to but too but how much it will be in dollor?
Let me know
a friend just bought a 4-5 day HTC diamond battey+cover for only $9.50 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15622
and these people are selling us the cover for $40. $5 should be the maximum price for something like this
Does anyone know how much HTC UK charge to replace the housing (not the screen or battery cover) of a HD2?
I would like to get mine changed but HTC UK want me to send in the phone before they will give an price!
Ouch! I hope you like the results... I'm curious about the price of that too. It's a bit early, but you might find a parts-only phone with a smashed screen or something and a suitable body.
go to truesuppliers webpage they have them for 80.00

Do a google search before you buy there. I've read they sell cheap/poor quality stuff.
Looking too now. Mine has developed a crack that has spread from the battery slot to the edge of the screen.
i rang htc uk last friday asking about this. they said they could pick up the device next day. repair time would be 10 days. cost to replace all plastics (by this i assume they mean the main housing/battery cover. possibly the main body of the phone as well) £65. probably best to call them yourself to check that price. they said they would be in touch to let me know the price when the damage had been assessed by an engineer.
i didnt bother with this as my housing only has superficial damage so went looking for a good replacement. got one on order now. when it comes i'll post up a pic. check my thread for updates. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=851273
