OK then,
I was going to get a new housing for my sad looking Ameo. They come in the standard Ameo silver or a rather smart HTC black. I already have a silver case, but here is the question.
Do the black housings, wear, scratch, or paint rub away easy? I don't want to get one and find it looks crap after six months. They ain't cheap! before anyone else says it, I know it depends how you treat it. I'm on about normal wear and tear use. How does yours look now? are there any signs of the metal underneath showing?

Black Case On The "advantage"...
Hey Jay,
I have a HTC Advantage x7501, with the black case of course, and have been using it with "typical" every-day use now for about 6 months. I have never even seen one of the silver cased "Ameo" versions of the device in person, so my review is a bit "one-sided," if you will... Also, I have a friend with whom I work with that also owns the same model as I. With saying all that, and without having experienced the silver model, I would bet the silver model would hold up a bit better on the finish due to the fact that if the silver gets scratched, the metal beneath it looks much closer to the silver finish than the black. I have a couple small blemishes on mine, and I am very particular with my mobile devices, but after using day-by-day at work and home, it has managed to get marked up just a bit. The biggest problem is, if you get a scratch on it, the metal below sticks out "like a sore thumb!"
I definitely believe that the black finish is a bit more professional looking, where sometimes the silver finishes can make a device look cheap or make it stand out.
Anyways, to give you my honest account on TWO Advantage x7501 devices (black finish) after 6 or so months of daily use, it is overall good, and neither one shows any major signs of wearing finish. Also, we both use a case that the device "slides" tightly in and out of each time you use it (without the keyboard attatched), and the device really hasn't shown any real signs of wear on the sides where it rubs the case. However, if you do happen to mark it up in any way, you will definitely notice it. Again, I am very picky, so keep that in mind, but so you have a better idea of what I am saying, I attatched a couple of pics so you can see what it looks like when or if you do scratch or mark it.
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
-Ryan
Also Note: Only one of the devices I wrote about is pictured, but are very similar in condition, and were both purchased slightly used.
X7501 Cosmetics...
I have had my X7501 for almost 10 months now and it only has one very tiny mark on the top right corner (you have to look hard to even see it).
Since I'm also very particular about my devices (I always keep them looking new) I just used a Sharpie (permanent marking pen) to "erase" the offending mark. This works great and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to touch-up black anodized aluminum like the Athena housing.
Wow! thanks for the reply Guys, Ryan that was one hell of a reply. Must have took you a while to do that and I appreciate it. toyfreak, the idea with the marker pen is a great one. I think on just that idea alone I will get black. Its harder to touch up silver! It looks better too.

Jay
Indeed is surprisingly hard coating, I carry mine in my pockets and can't say I'm careful with it, rather the opposite, I have it since it came out and there is only a little wear in one of the corners, hardly noticeable, where the scratches are more visible, is on the silver border next to the screen, not that it look bad or anything.
Black housing - Where?
I would like to know where you can buy a black housing for your Ameo, mine needs a new one as well!
And what about your keyboard, can you get a black one too?

Silver / AMEO
Hi guys,
Proud owner of a wonderful brick since 6 months in grey color I should say that if I new I would have choosen a different color.
The grey AMEO housing is far from being "time resistant"...
Since few weeks the "video camera" around the front cam as disappeared and the "Alert" will soon do the same.
I allways take good care of my stuf and I'am bit disapointed for a 1.000 bucks machine to see it !

Hi,
Just a quick update on the new housing. It's arrived, and I put it on. It looks great, so glad I got black. Thanks to those who took the trouble to answer this post so well.
If anyone needs a new housing for their device then let me know and I will let you know where to get them from. He claims to have a few left!

The X7501 does not have the internal or 2nd camera, the X7500 does. So I would have a big hole in my unit if I used that one. I don't know if the inside layout is any different but that's the only visible thing on the external end.
I need a new housing too.
Anychance you could PM me a link or contact for this.
Thanks in advance.

LMAO dude have you been drinking? The 7501 has 1 camera and the 7500 and the 7510 has 2. I own the 7501 which is also cheaper than the 7500. I suggest you google them and you'll see the difference.
tootallk is correct. 7501 has 1.

you are talking about a extra case to protect the athena right?, the thread is about replacing the cover / housing of the athena itself, a step that becomes nesesary when you not use case like your nutshell .
anyhow (and to really come back to subject ) i have to replace my housing too and wonder, why nobody can simply post the web/email adress of a reseller here?. i searched alot now an only find companies in asia and prices 'far away from reality', so if someone know a good reseler please post here.

I was wondering if anyone has any links to dust caps for the mini-USB and 3.5mm phone jack?
I don't use the phone jack all that much and I noticed it getting a bit dusty.
Cheers!
i would like this,
just go to mobile phone shops and pinch the ones of the dummy models, any one surely other manufacturers have caps for this sort of thing.
which phone originally have this? cause dummy phone is exactly the same like the actual model so i think xperia dummy also should not have right
ahh dust caps.. In need of those!
There are only 2 solutions:
1) http://www.instructables.com/id/Apple-IPhone-Headphone-Jack-Plug/
2) http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15259
Tell me if you ordered one for the Xperia. [iphone 3G headphone socket/port should be the same as Xperia's port]. After that tell me if it is a good plug.
i mean pinch them of any dummy phone not the xperia dummy model,
gotta pop to voda shop todaytake my GF crappy W980 back for repair 6 times now, ill have a look,
im not gonna pay for a small piece of rubber.
Dust caps... hmm... sounds useful... unfortunately haven't heard of anything like for these either over here in Singapore.
same here. if any news for where to find in Singapore pls share.

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has one, or has seen one, that will accomodate the HD2? Should be collecting my HD2 within next couple of hours and would love to fire up run.gps for a test this evening...
I use the Run.gps branded armband. It's really designed for the HD but works okay with the HD2
the hardware buttons do get covered by the case, but I don't tend to use anything other than the power button when I'm out and that's easy to press.
also the cutout for the headphones is in the wrong place. If you decide to use a corded headphone, then you would need to cut a small hole in the neoprene.
other than that it's great
little bit off, ...
nice to see some run.gps users ou here.
does the run.gps work well with the 800*480?
thanks!
Yes, there is an armband for the HD2 Leo :
Hello Leo users,
I have searched the internet, and up till now, dec 2009, there still isn't a running armband for the HD2. and i could not wait...
As mentioned above, RunGPS sell's an armband that all most fits. You can also buy it under the name - Tune belt / Tunebelt AB82 - it's fully Neoprene, and fits "like a glove" on your upper of lower arm. Thight, the HD2 will not slip out of it during running.
It fit's my HTC HD2 only after a little tweak : removing two sets of stiches at the bottum en re-sow the neoprene. that's it !.
Indeed the 4 standard buttons are hidden, but the Run GPS buttons and screen works verry well.

The Run.gps branded armband isn't the same as the Tunebelt one..
I tried the tunebelt one and preferred the run.gps branded version.
I don't think (despite the similar names) the branded one is made by tunebelt (but I could be wrong).
Tunebelt AB8
Run.gps ABX2
FWIW I don't think the branded one needs your stitch work, (but I may stitch the hole where the original headphone hole was)
Would something like this work or would it be a very tight fit?

And the verdict is.......
straight in the bin. doesn't fit and tbh i don't think you'd fit an iphone in it either.
you could probably mess about modding it to fit but it's fugly enough already
just so you guys know, i bought this and it fits the HD2 perfectly.
The seller was confident saying the HD2 would definitely not fit but i bought it anyways. It's made for the iPhone but the HD2 slides just fine with a bit of stretching and a new whole made for the headphone port.
It's extremely high quality too.

i bought one of the above and it doesnt fit my hd2 !!!
the link i posted? You sure? It fits my HD2 so i don't know why you cant...
yep same link ! my hd2 is to wide for it? my friends iphone fits ok
It stretches though and doesn't require that much stretching anyways, i'll post a picture of it tomorrow.
I dunno man, not much is available is for the HD2 so i found this as the best alternative.
Bought one of these for £4.99 and it fits no problem!
its a little tight but not that much that you have to make adjustments!

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.

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 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.

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.

both of em are shipped from hong kong

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.
Was looking to buy a new outer housing for the phone as I dropped it and there are grooves/pits in the soft rubber part of the housing. This one on ebay says it oem, but the camera does not extent as far as out on the original case, and there are no metal edges around the camera bezel (these may actually be better for the device). Was wondering if anyone can confirm if this is indeed oem, maybe htc changed the housing in later models?
Link here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ORIGINAL-HTC-HD...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item45f16d3a99
thank you...
It looks like the real thing. not sure about the camera bit though. Also, the mini picture in the first image is definitely not the hd2. Might be worth asking the seller.
hello n4v1n,
same housing as original, when you will take off your outer housing, you will see that camera's extention with metal edge doesn't come with it (it's part of the camera's module, not housing)
agree with kengel77.. the camera module is by itself, therefore it will be on your board..
I can confirm that the camera part is part of the housing as I have taken it apart already. The board has just the lens attached to it, nothing else.
Would this work for the T9193 as well as the T8585?
I scuffed the corner of my housing (dropped it onto pavement in the leather sleeve, just happened to land on the exposed corner...) and removing the Telstra branding seems like a plus.
$20 is a pittance.
Also, how difficult/risky is the actual process of replacing the housing?
Ok I can confirm this is NOT an OEM housing as truesupplier.com has it for $98.00!!! too expensive imo. Also @spike15, removing the old housing is easy although you will most likely damage the original housing in the process as u have to pry it open with some sort of plastic edge and it's really tight. I have little grooves in the plastic above where the earpiece is now.

I don't care about the original housing -- it'll be going straight in the garbage.
Can anyone confirm the quality of these housings? Can anyone confirm that the T8585 housing is identical (at least in shape and size) to the T9193 housing?

Since its not oem and from china, MOST likely will be garbage, considering an oem version costs 5X more. just my 2cents./ Also the antenna leads for the wifi, gps etc. are not included, so you will have to take them off the original, they look like stickers and if they tear, you're screwed. I didnt mess with them but they look very fragile.

Does the truesupplier one include these leads?
No one has an answer for whether or not the T8585 and T9193 housings are identical? : /

The T9193 is not the T-Mobile version, it's the Telstra version...
afaik ALL US versions are the t9193's.
the internationals (europe/asia/etc) are the t8585's.

No, because the T9193 is the Telstra version, and Telstra is an Australian telco.
Do I need to take a picture of my Telstra HD2 box which says "T9193" on it?

yes you have t9193, the housing will NOT fit, end of story.
Are you sure this won't fit?
Someone on page suggested the only reason difference in size might be standard of measure difference. Sounds very ridiculous.
Why are you saying it won't fit?
