Replacement Cover

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:
Best regards,

need a new xda casing

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 i guess the information could have been outdated.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.

Which of these Fascias is worth purchasing for me?

I've recently got on Xplore 1.1 and started upgrading my phone. By the looks of it, an O2 XDA Trion seems to be unlikely (availability and also some new developments) to reach my hands. I am considering getting a replacement fascia from eBay but am not sure which I should get and why. My phone works very well with the exception that the stylus is falling out (fixed temporarily by using the paper bag trick) and a few falls left the fascia chipped and scratched. The primary D-pad,call keys and soft keys seem a little dirty but they don't look too bad.
I am looking at this full housing which is at 40 pounds, and this A-grade (does this mean brand new or what?) housing without the d-pad and surrounding keys for almost 30 pounds.
Truthfully, I don't want to spend a lot but I am hesitant to send my device back as it works a treat (ht545 G3 unit so I doubt 4GB SD works but I never actually filled an entire GB so at worst I might get a San Disk High Speed 2GB mini SD later on). I am also intending to obtain a full Invisible shield for the wizard as it seems to be damn near impossible to find a black silicone case for the wizard (without the unbreakable screen cover; I just want to slap on a brando protector like the one I have on now).
So which of those two should I get and what the hell is A-grade?

I Bought a dummy wizard phone for 10$,

Well that's a great idea but what do you call them exactly? I can't find such things?

Yep they are called exactly that - Dummy Phones

Granted this is on the ebay us site, but it may help you out. They are cheap so maybe it would be less een with shipping than buying from a shop in the uk.

Good idea but I think the housing of a dummy is glued. If not, then i would be interested on buying a HTC Wizard dummy (I dont like the cingular )

I bought a dummy phone thinking I'd be able to use the housing. Unfortunately I was wrong. There are numerous reasons why the one I've got wouldn't work: it's glued, but buttons don't all work, the mini-SD slot isn't cut through, etc.
If anyone would like the one I wasted my money on and you're willing to pay postage let me know.

Well, this morning I was searching for dummy phones and the only one I found was in Germany for around 30 Euros...thanks for the heads up that it won't work; you just save me from a major headache.
So once again, it boils down to the question which of those two I originally linked would be worth it (I sure as hell have no idea what A-grade means...should I ask the seller or...)?

A-Grade probably means premium quality...

Well that item is actually gone and I found these two off eBay as well...
this for around 28 pounds - original O2 Housing (says "EXCELLENT CONDITION ALL ROUND. LIKE BRAND NEW" so probably not brand new).
this for around 29 pounds which looks like a fake or at least is missing the O2 logo and is said to be 95% new (What's that mean?)
I don't have a T6 which the second one comes with and the first guy will throw in for an extra 2.99 - making both approximately the same price. So is the saving of 10 pounds, when compared with the brand new housing listed earlier, worth it?
Also found this keypad (d pad, soft key, call key and email) for another 10 pounds almost but as I only have one little ding...I doubt I need it.
EDIT: After a lot of thought, I am going to order from the guy above who has the XDA mini S cover (with O2 logo) and toss in 2.99 for the T6 screw driver as well). I am also going to get the black silicone case with that unbreakable cover. I just hope I'm making a good investment. As all in all, it'll cost me around 40 pounds (with the protector and all).
Now the only thing bugging me is how do I transfer the stickers and warranty labels cleanly?

Treo 680 housing?
Hi, I dont own a treo 750 at the moment but i'm thinking of getting one. Just wanted to ask...I was looking at pics of the treo 750 and the treo 680 and it looks like the button layout is the same (is it actually?) if it is then a treo 680 housing should fit on a treo 750 right? just wanted to know coz the treo 680 comes with all these cool colors

Could you please walk me through how to change the housing? I believe there is an object, maybe dust & dirt between the silver screen and the frame. So I have trouble with the touch scrren alignment. If you could walk me through taking it apart and puting it back together. Pictures would surely help. Thanks

I previously own a treo 680 and traded it with a treo 750. The crystal case i use on my t680 does not fit for a treo 750. The top part is thicker. You have to find a case specifically designed for it.

I've bought a dummy to replace my housing for only $2.99, and i must say, it was very easy to replace it.
Just follow the instructions in this video http://www.youtube.com/v/hlYfI4_P_n4
You can also try to remove the object with a thin piece of plastic, like a teethstick.
Good luck !!!

Where does one find a "dummy" housing? I'm not enthused about paying $50 on on eBay for something that cost maybe $1 to produce and ship.

750 and 755 housing?
is the 750 housing and 755 housing the same?? the front and back cover? is it compatible if you replace the 750 by the 755 housing? but not including the middle case.. because the 755 middle housing case has no reset button.. i think.. can anyone help?? thanks..

Dog chewed my phone!!

Hi,
My puppy decided he liked the look of my Kaiser and decided to have a chew on it, resulting in a cracked LCD screen, and teeth marks in the front cover and battery cover.
anyone have a suggestion where the best place for spare parts is??
I'm located in Australia.
thanks
Dazzler

Hi there ,
you may want to search the forum as many people had problems like yours (maybe not because of a dog though ). Try keywords like "spare parts kaiser".
Here is an example of an other post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333670
By doing this, I am sure you can find some good adresses (like here, here, here). You may want to simply try eBay as well.

CNN.CN
Duezeff is correct, I've had the best luck with cnn.cn in finding parts. At the time i was only interested in one LCD screen for a friend and saw that there was a discount for buying in bulk. Now I wish I had done so and set up my own little shop. Also, pay attention to what you're actually purchasing (which part of the touchscreen you are getting) and whether it is new or from a used phone.
Use Mike Channon's guides to disassemble and reassemble your phone and you should be set. it is very easy to do.

Is there an Ebay in Australia? Always a good source of parts.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
EBay came up trumps, and my new LCD screen, digitiser and Case are on the way from Hong Kong.
