[Q] Anyone found replacement back covers?

It looks like most of the posts in this forum are for covers - should've looked here earlier.
I tend to abuse my phones pretty badly - I usually buy a case, but since the options were slim for the Focus when I bought it, I haven't had one. The other day I put the phone in my pocket with keys and the back cover took a beating.
Anyone found a place to buy a replacement back cover? I figured they would be available by now, but I haven't seen any other than one on eBay that's up to $37 at this point.
I tried calling Samsung's mobile accessories / replacement parts line, but no one seems to pick up.

I have one from a focus I sold for parts. I dont know how you would want to do a transaction but id sell it for 20 dollars.

How much for the earphones?

Me too
I sent Samsung Support an email requesting information about ordering one and got no reply. Sent it weeks ago.

back cover
I definitely need to locate a back cover also.

Hi guys. I too broke my back cover.
I called Samsung, and leveraged my way all the Corporate Help Center through yelling at 3 supervisors.
Samsung unfortunately are not producing back cover replacements at this time. :/
However, I went to the AT&T store and spoke to the manager. He gave me a back cover from Focus that was returned to them and said they do that all time, try that. :]

I saw some back covers on sale on ebay for around $20

EBAY
Search on EBAY for "Samsung I917 Battery Cover" and you will find a vendor with used, refurbished and new covers ranging from $19.99 - $29.99.

What happened to yours? Probably the same wear as some where the small L shaped latches finally break away? Would be helpful to have an extra back cover handy. Does yours at least stay shut so the phone stays on?

Fortunately it stays, but it is not easy to change battery!!

Someone posted on this site that its $30 from dell.com but would be nice locating a better deal elsewhere.

Gotcha!
For those who havent found a replacement yet, I've found a few on ebay from Honk Kong for £17.99, free P&P... Search 'battery door cover fix dell streak'. Obviously, unless someones managed to find a better deal..

There are covers listed on eBay, but you might want to check out this replacement battery. It isn't much more than the cover by itself and you get a new battery.

Parting out Nexus 7

Hey guys, I'm considering parting out my nexus 7 because its digitizer is partially broken. I was just wondering if you guys have a need for any of the parts, and what you would pay for them. I'm not selling the parts yet, just getting an idea of if its worth my time to do so. Thanks!

I'll take the back cover for $10 shipped to Miami.

I'll buy the LCD flex cable (photo below). I'll offer $10 incl mailing it to St Louis.
It's the little short cable that pops off the main board - it's located in a small gap between the battery and the main board.
You have to be very careful with this cable as the LCD end is damaged very easily. Do not pull on it at all.
To remove it, you have to
-remove the battery,
-remove all the small screws holding in the sub chassis - unscrew the speaker
-pop off the upper connector - it just pops straight up - do not pull on the cable though
-remove the digitizer cables - flip up the white cable clamps at the rear of the 2 connectors
-remove the subchassis - you'll have to remove the copper heatsink that is taped to the back of the LCD
- flip up the black cable clamp on the rear of the LCD flex connector and carefully slide the connector straight out without bending it up at all.
Let me know if you're interested.
Thanks

Thanks for the replies. Ill let you guys know it I'm going to sell the parts.

[Q] Nexus One housings on eBay?

Hi guys,
Just got my hands on a quite used N1 from my friend, and is thinking of replacing the full housing.
After looking at pictures on eBay and subsequently asking the sellers, I found that many of the housings on sale are fully plastic. I aware that the front frame of the N1 is metal, so I would like to ask you guys if you know anywhere (eBay or elsewhere) that sells the metal housing for a reasonable price?
Cheers

I saw a set of housings for sale on Amazon. You might wanna check it out

Thanks! But the one that appears at the top of the list shares the exact same photo as the one I inquired on eBay, which the seller said its made of "plastic-like synthetic material" the real metal ones that I found are either refurbished or carries an exorbital price (USD40+ for the front frame alone).

I have a at&t nexus one that I was going to sell body is in good shape ill do 60 shipped has desktop dock? Let meknow
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

That's a really good deal, I paid around $110 for a beat up one with dock, but that was 7+ months ago with 2 batteries, all accessories and box, still working perfect and its working great to this day. I'd like to get a replacement housing to paint flat black but I'm scared to take it apart.

Thanks for the offer, I really wants to get it, but I live a bit too far away, in New Zealand which might be hard for you to ship to. Guess I'll have to live with cheap plastic knockoffs...

Where can I buy original spare parts for Nexus 5X

Hello
Does anyone know where I can buy real original spare parts?
I need a replacement for the Main Camera Module and a new Backcover.
I already ordered a Camera Module which should be original, but it wasn´t.
So I am looking for real original parts
Thanks

I think you can't find them anywhere. The only way to get them is by sending your phone back where you bought it and then they'll send it to LG. You can find spare parts for example on eBay but they will never be original.
Tell me if I'm wrong

rounded.com has quiet a few spare parts for our N5x

I bought my replacement screen, digitizer, and battery from Witrigs. $90 after shipping, took 2 weeks to get to Texas from China. worked great until last week when it decided it didnt like being 1 piece, and the screen cracked for no reason.

I just ordered a new back cover last week from here: https://www.fixez.com/store/lg/lg-google-nexus-5x
They don't specify if it is OEM or not, but the fit and finish is superb!

I was able to get a lens cover replacement for mine on Amazon.
It was $6 and cheaper than getting a whole new back plate. Installation was simple once I got the phone pried open.
