I'm soon gonna buy an used Sony Ericsson Xperia, but the thing is that it's battery cover and front buttons are a little scratched. I was thinking of buying a full housing but soon changed my mind due to it's price(80€). And besides, i don't need a new Qwerty keyboard and camera cover. So i checked for a dummy phone, which has a price of 25€. I was thinking, is it possible to remove it's battery cover and front buttons and place them on a real Xperia X1?
Here is the link to the dummy phone: http://cnn.cn/shop/sonyericsson-xperia-dummy-phone-p-6107.html
why dont u call sony ericsson and tell them about ur battery cover? i did and got a new one few days ago

Thanks anyway, spikegotti.
Does anyone know if it's possible what i asked?
if u have anyone livin in the usa or uk u can still call and have them ship it to the other address, or buy one from cnn, only 10 usd

I know some people from UK and USA, but then again, the shipping will cost some money. And besides, It's not just about the battery cover, but about the front buttons too. That's is why i'm asking if Dummy phone parts are removeable. If they aren't, then i'll just buy a battery cover from Cnn, as you suggested.
So, do you maybe know if it's possible to disassemble a dummy phone?
Thanks for you answers
Just buy a battery cover from ebay or something.
shipping should not be much dude, i got SE to post my cover to my mother in the USA which the paid for, she only paid about $4.00 usd to post the package here (barbados) regular post...it took about a week
i dont know anything about dummy phones except that they do not make them 100% like the original
Nope, dummy phone parts are usually not removable... at least, not in the way you want them to be XD None of the ones where I work are, so I'd say it's a safe assumption that you'd be better off buying new parts.

The front buttons seems to be included in a front cover. See for yourself here: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/x1-front-cover-p19247.htm

Thanks for the link. Helped me a lot. But, is it possible to buy front cover and battery cover together?
Like this: http://mobile.brando.com/sony-erics...ment-front-battery-cover_p04302c0670d088.html
Just with the soft buttons included?
It appears to me being a f***ing nightmare to change the housing of the X1...

Well, mobilefun sells both parts, just not bundled (battery cover £17.56). I suppose you're looking for a cheeper price and there I can't help you. I've shopped at mobilefun before and they work flawlessly even with orders abroad as in my case.

Well thanks for the help. The faceplate looks really awesome, but i think it's overpriced. At lease in my opinion.
You can see for the battery cover which is £17.56(about 18€?), while on the cnn.cn is only 10.99€(about 8€). It's a shame they don't sell the faceplate tho
Battery cover on the dummy phone is plastic. The battery cover is the same piece as the entire bottom housing.
On the back of the screen when the keyboard is open...those little rubber screw covers have fallen off on my xperia! Any idea where i can get some from can they be removed from a dummy phone ?
Thanks
Hey everyone, I am planning to mod the back cover of my Incredible and would like a few spare covers in case I mess up
Do you any of you know where I can buy them? I just want the stock one that comes with the phone.
I'd also like to know as I'm about to invest in a Full Body Invisible Shield, but would like to start off scratch-free on the back (already has a few nicks and cuts)

I'm pretty sure they are 15 a piece and I think you can get them from VZW.

This is true. $14.99 if ordered directly from Verizon.
In a nutshell I have this today:
It's my first day with my phone. I cannot use any case because in my country (Turkey) it's impossible to find any cases. I bought some but they will be delivered at least 1 month ago.
So is there any-where to find a replacement part for my back cover? I asked it to Oneplus itself but they told me that they don't sell spare parts. I looked into ebay but there's not any of it.
I know it's not a big thing but I have a big OCD problem. And it looks like a disaster to me.
ANy help will be appreciated.
I've seen many parts on eBay for OnePlus 3 but no replacement back cover yet. They have everything else though like front glass, vibration motor, battery, antenna, speaker, camera cable.

Ouch, I feel your pain dude.. I would suggest maybe covering it up with a skin for the time being and when they do start making replacement backings eventually, get one then..
two months ago, seen at Aliexpress, price was around 70$, but now item is not available. Just contact with CS and ask how much they will charge for back housing replacement at RMA.

Try one of these in the meanwhile. I'm sure you'll find a combination that suits your style!

Im sure trying to replace it on your own will cause more damage to the device because you can mess up adhesives, screen, other internals & etc
And when they say they dont sell parts it means you will endup with a cheaper manufactured backcover that is not even original. Just keep the device as it is those two dots shouldnt bother you
I'll bough 2 original cases. I think it will be ok when I get them.
By the way on the teardown videos of OnePLus 3 it looks pretty easy to remove the back cover. No adhesive or something. Just removing the bottom screws will do the job.
Man, i had the absolute same problem. When i unpacked my OP3, the charger fell out of the xox and hit the phone on the absolute same place on the bezel
I sold mine on ebay the other day and ordered a new one.
it's really simple to disassemble op3. two screws, and back cover is removed. no glue, ect.

I know I'm late here but how do you guys suggest it would be possible to produce fake back housings at the price they are charging for them? I mean how many people would realistically buy parts exclusively made for one device, and an oneplus 3 at that? A few thousand people at most? If this is the case I don't think it would be financially viable to make any sort of production line for these parts. Aside from stealing original ones from the factory, or mabye defective ones I don't see how they would produce such a limited quantity for so cheap unless they are originals? Any insight?
There are many options for the back cover. The back on my Oneplus 3 was damaged but not as bad as yours. I was planning to replace my back but all i had was a tiny scratch so it wasn't worth it. I will change it when my back is really messed up. When you search for the cover on ebay just search for battery cover You can tell most fakes as they don't have the oneplus logo and for a different colour, try to get one with the sim card tray. Try to get a cover near Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangdong that's where the Oneplus headquaters is. There's also a midnight black cover as well!

I bought phone in local shop in Georgia... I contact Oneplus support and they sad that i must contact shop where from i bought it and they must send the phone...
To send then my phone without service coast, it becomes 250 $ only read...
On ebay there is only one damaged Oneplus 3 with damaged cover....
Finding a new housing in good condition will be hard for sure.
Usually when people damage the phone they also damage the case ...
And you also won't find actually new housings for sale because OnePlus doesn't sell parts alone to resellers. Only their service centers get replacement parts.
Soo ... You have a pretty big problem ☺ï¸

Would be nice to see a pic of how bad your back cover is. People might give you cheaper alternatives like using a debrand skin or some like that

2 best options for you
This is the back cover link from the Witrigs people, very good quality, it is OEM: witrigs.com/oem-back-cover-for-oneplus-3-graphite-black
Or you can buy it on Amazon which includes a kit in order for you to replace it by yourself, here the link:

I'm also looking for a replacement back cover and I searched all over the internet. Any of back cover in the links above are just fake and bad quality product. Not original. Just watch some youtube disassembly videos of OP3 and compare the back cover with the selling ones. Especially there's many difference on the battery side.

They're everywhere on eBay UK. Waiting out for the Gunmetal one though. It won't be long this time.
I don't recommend you to buy them. They are not authentic.
I have bought one from AliExpress and I am very satisfied with it ,just made one mistake. Ordered back cover without OnePlus logo ,it's pain to transfer from one to another,so look for one that has logo attached already.

Did you manage to transfer the logo successfully? If so how did you go about it?
So yeah,the unthinkable happened. I literally threw my phone out of the window while trying to use Google pay. Not my proudest moment. Ended up cracking the bottom of the back glass. I've heard stories of Samsung replacing broken devices within the first few days of purchase. I bought it yesterday. I saw a replacement back for 40$ on eBay. I ordered a dbrand as well. Not sure if I should just sell it at a loss or try if I could get a replacement from Huawei.
What do you guys think my best options are?

My phone came with a case, did yours? And if so, was your phone in it?
If it was, I think I'll go get a better case for myself

You can try ordering one from Aliexpress:

Wrong cover but I appreciate the reply. I found the right one on ebay. Fun fact is I could actually get the blue one which is cool but ubreak ifix won't let me bring my own part so I'm still trying to figure out what to do. I ordered a dbrand for the mean time.
