Ok has anyone managed to find these out there on the interwebz? I see a lot of postings on ebay, but they look like they won't fit the MyTouch. I ordered one for an HTC Magic.... I forgot that they have different mobos sadly, and it doesn't fit the mytouch, some holes and slots are on opposing sides. All the ones that I've looked at seem to be the same as well.
this docomo one looks really close. what do you think????

I've always wanted to get the silver buttons for the ion version. Would the buttons from the magic housings on ebay fit in the mytouch?

The design for the bell mobility is...different, doesn't have the rounded directional pad, its square. Anyone seen any hard cases fit for this design?
I've been looking around for one of these also, I'm going to assume the Sprint version of this case would not work at all, because like you said, it has a round toggle, and ours is square. But if I ever come across one, I'll be sure to post it.
I have one of these

The XV6800 and Bell 6800 are Identical.

The case may be universal for both, but it still looks a little off, it's not made specifically for the bell style.
That skin, however, is the one I ended up buying.
I'm looking at replaceing the housing on my sprint touchdroid (touch running android). On ebay there are really cheap housings for a 3450 and other that are over twice as much for the 6900/3452. So which one will work, either one? Are there dimensional differences, or just internal differences?
i made the mistake of getting the gsm one. sent it back to korea and got back the cdma version. make sure you get the right one. your phone will look like new and the quality of these housing cases are top notch
Hey all! I just wanted to share what I found. Not to sure if anyone found this and or mentioned it here somewhere. I looked around and saw another post asking about it. But thats all I saw. I am not sure how easy it is to dis-assemble the device and or how well the housing varies with hardware. I changed my T-Mobile Wing into the HTC 4520 with housing replacement, yes they were the exact same hardware wise yet some components were off some how. I had changed more then a few others that wanted the HTC branded housing and same so idk. I'm going to order one of these soon so i will share with pics of my experience unless someone does it first. Here you all go.

Nice! Too bad the custom ones are ugly as hell
Nice I was JUST looking for housings. Thanks for the heads up!
Just in case you guys aren't aware, 32A and 32B motherboards are different, so a HTC Magic housing will not fit a MyTouch, and vice versa.

ya i had a feeling about this. but i think im still gonna try and see what needs to be modded. you never know, htc might have made the molds the same so they dont lose on machining time. like i said in op my wing and the 4520 were off by just a lil but i still got it to work 100%. I only had to switch out the keyboards so i bet this will probably work. I will get it and try it out for mt3g users.

I'm speaking from personal experience. I bought a G2 case from ebay, and the case has some holes on the opposite side of where the MyTouch case has them. I ordered a second one and had to return it because despite asking the seller in advance if it indeed was for a MyTouch and not an HTC branded phone they didn't have the right one. I've seen recently that some have started popping out on ebay that state "will fit US models" or something to that effect, these should be safe. My advice is to ask before you buy if it will fit a T-Mobile MyTouch, and what happens if it doesn't fit after you order it.
yep i can confirm. the thickness is different. but i managed to match them i have a 32a front and back pannel (black). And 32b middle section (silver UK Vodafone stock). This works just fine. Otherwise your vibration motor will never work since it is to tight.

I double that, I just figuered that out the other day while I was trying to change the housing for my magic.
I was wondering if anyone has found a source for a housing replacement that will automatically fit the 32B? I am in search of one and can't seem to find one. I found some that say mytouch compatible but I think they will have the same issue as mentioned here about being different on the inside.
Thanks.

I'm also looking for a housing that will be compatible with my MT3G, it looks pretty banged up.
yea the housings cause vibrator problems.
I bring great news, I e-mailed cnn.cn asking when they will have MT3G housings in stock and they replied saying they should have it in stock in early march.

I bought one of the housings available from the website posted in the OP (and quoted above). The only part of my MT3G that was messed up and scratched was the front face plate, so I didn't bother trying to swap out the rest of the housing. The face plate fits perfectly and looks awesome. The chrome buttons and HTC logo instead of the T-Mobile logo give it a much nicer look. $17 to make my phone look nicer and brand new again is not a bad deal at all.
I'd actually be willing to bet that, with some minor modifications to the middle section of the housing, we could get this entire kit to fit our MT3G's. We'd need to drill a tiny hole for the mic (the one that shipped to me has the mic hole on the opposite side), and perhaps cut away at some of the plastic near the vibration motor to allow it to move freely, but it should work. I might try this if I get bored. I'll let you know if I have any success.
Thanks for posting the site.

I bought from this guy, and he has sent me the wrong size screwdriver. Check out his feedback first, it's not very reassuring.

It was okay, but just okay. It definitely looks like OEM product, even down to the fact that the HTC branding was tinged blue instead of being silver and the middle chassis part was cracked. I waited 3 weeks for it to arrive in this condition, and I'm still struggling to get a refund from him so I can try another seller. Don't waste your time with him.
I did notice one or two listings on ebay actually do say original not OEM, one in particular from the UK, going to give one of those a try.

Let us know who you get it from. I dropped mine and there are little chips around the phone, I'd like to replace the housing eventually.
guys I need a housing for my Tmobile Mytouch without 3.5 mm jack ASAP. my back looks like crap, and scratched like hell.
here are 2 different ones from ebay. can you guys tell me if it will fit? I mean the pic does say "tmobile" and I am waiting from the sellers to hit back.
both of em are shipped from hong kong

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290413949633
btw both are similar products but 2 different sellers.
none of those come with screws. and one of them states, I would need existing "screw holes" idk what that means, I believe these "screw holes" are already inside my pre existing housing (stock).
sorry but these guys are foreign sellers and have bad communication skills, most of there responses are half assed.
My son decided to color his and I am going to sell it. I need to replace these.
Link to a site that sells them?
Also interested in finding out. Closest thing I've found is a listing on ebay for 30 bucks... are all mytouch3g 32B? so far all i've found are magic housings and they dont fit.

Heard of Ebay?
Tho the Black housing with the grey/silver midsection I must say are more difficult to find.
Contact the seller before purchasing. Make sure it is the correct housing for what you need. 3.5mm headphone jack or not. It's not shown in picture and I've no idea what myTouch model you have. Only the red and fender edition seem to have the myTouch logo on the back cover tho..........
There are many mor listings but I only noticed this particular seller at a quick glance selling a black housing with the grey/silver midsection rather then the red midsection.

Luckily, I've 2 Magics and not myTouchs, so it's far easier to find housings. I've 2 of every available color.
I like to match.
I don't use no fancy cases. I like my phones bare. Just use the hTC sleeve.
I was actually looking today and they are not at all hard to find. If you CANNOT find one on eBay (which you can - I've was JUST looking at them maybe an hour ago) here:
http://cnn.cn/shop/
That's where I get just about everything else. A little pricey, but convenient none-the-less.
UPDATE
It arrived today!
The case fits nice and snug. Pictures forthcoming (may take me a week before I have time). It stretches a bit at the bottom but I believe that can be remedied with a little bit of creative sanding on the inside of the case. Honestly though, it's almost perfect without any modification.
I recommend

I've tried searching and googling to no avail. Found one (questionable) post here from a while ago that states it fits but I want to make sure so....
Does the Capdase Soft Jacket 2 Xpose case fit the TMOUS HD2?
This is it btw: http://www.capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid=1&bid=5&mid=321&pid=5277
While I'm here.... any docks that fit the HD2 with a case on? (I know of plenty that fit it bare)
Probably so,i have the silver chrome metal one from capdase. It was marked for the euro version, but it fit my tmo hd2 just fine. So I would say your good to go.

Oh, you have the alumor? (this one: http://www.capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid=1&bid=5&mid=321&pid=5156) and it fits?
Please confirm because I will get that one then!
The dimensions of the HTC HD2 and the T-Mobile HD2 are slightly different.
Since all Capdase case are custom designed to fit the device it is intended for. The Soft Jacket 2 Xpose (HTC HD2) will not fit the T-Mobile HD2 perfectly.
Although the Leather cases should be okay.

I still prefer the Otterbox because it also protects the screen from impacts.

I don't know, I just checked ebay and it specifically said:
"15 Feb 2011 - All colors are in limited stock
* IMPORTANT: This case is designed for the international version of HTC HD2 and DOESN'T FIT perfectly with the US T-Mobile version."
http://cgi.ebay.com/HOT-Capdase-Alu...434176?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20b22098c0
Since the US version is larger, I don't see how it would work. But I believe the people who say it does. Just be advised...

That is interesting. The Otterbox, for example, will most definitely NOT fit the T-Mobile HD2 in the International version. Difference in design, I suppose.
I think it just depends how much 'give' there is in the case. Otterbox isn't flexible at all, whereas as I understand it the alumor has rubber inside which can compress. Everyone please remember the tmous version is only about 2mm taller.
Anyways, I ordered the capdase softjacket. I'll see if it fits. I'm prepared to file down the inside ends in order to make it fit, I'm sure I could get 2mm out of that.
If it won't fit, i'm out $12, not a disaster.
I'll update with pics if it fits. (PS. if you're reading this 2 months from now and I haven't posted anything, PM me)
rkarsk, have you received the case yet? I'm interested to know if it will fit the t-mobile hd2.
It's only been about 3 days since my last post and I expect it to take several weeks (at least 2) to arrive.
