Dell Streak Casing replacement parts?

Before the streak was announced, Dell said they will have a lot of colors/patterns. what happened to them?
is there a way to order these parts?
(I'm really digging the purple)

I am also looking for a replacement back panel housing, recently dropped mine to tarmac and got scratches all over...

You can order the back place directly from dell for about $30.

Just got my red one and I have to say after owning a black one the colors are #$%t
Looks like someone sprayed it on

Red color
Yes, and if it isn't sprayed on from the beginning you probably have to do it yourself after a while. My red one has started to flake. A little problen compared to all the others I have had before I found out I had to replace the 2gb internal internal sd-card.

As bad as they may be, is there a link to where exactly at Dell I can order one from?

I'm just gonna take off the back housing and paint my own. I've done it with notebooks, like this dell (1/4 down website)
Dell XPS painted

Does Dell or any other vender sell the housing that attached to the screen?
Not the battery door.

people spraying mite not be a great idea and you cant spray the front either but i found something which should cure all your problems http://www.istyles.com/ebook-readers-tablets-dell-streak-c-506_799.html?page=2&sort=2a

Holy cow, that's insane! I like the matching wallpaper. Somebody do a review of this...

Has anyone tried this? If so, how hard was it to put on and how did it look, fit etc.
I ordered a face-plate from Hong Kong
http://www.acceport.com/oem-original-dell-streak-mini-5-housing-faceplate-cover-shell-rear-back-battery-housing-cover-replacement-black.html
and it it took well over two months before I finally got it. It showed up yesterday. It got hung up in Customs. They refunded me after 30 days, now I got to pay them $26 (including shipping) again. I'll install it tomorrow and make a post on it.

[Q] Dell Streak car mount options

Hi all. I am hoping someone here can help me find the right car mount for my Streak. Its in an otterbox commuter case. I want a mount that will fit the Streak securely while in the case and also be able to charge the phone while mounted. Would appreciate any input.

Have you used the search option or looked on ebay or done any work at all? There are a bunch of threads already including one i made, if you search "dell streak 5 car holder" in ebay you will find what you need!

I actually found one at walmart in the automotive department. $15. Fits perfect and leaves room to plug in the charger.

Any further on with this? I'm looking for the same, something that doesn't stick to the window, but mounts on the dash.

I'm considering buying the offical car kit, It's quite expensive (£30) but I think it will be worth it.

Problem Solved!

I bought mine the day u posted this on e-bay and its the best for the Dell streak 5. arrived in the mail last week (the both of them) the original car mount from Dell is fantastic plus u can use the XM-Radio vents .pocketables.com/2011/03/xm-radio-vent-clip-mount-fits-dell-streak-car-kit-holder.htmlwhich gives u a better and closer feel to the device while you drive. Buy both from e-bay cheap. Please view link below

Slipgrip makes a great holder and they have versions from naked to otterbox defender and all in between. Check them out on ebay

Get the part number and call Dell, they may have one or you may get frustrated.

Try ebay, search on ultimateaddons

I was just on-line with one of their sales reps, and she couldn't find it either - she will "let me know when they get them in" - yeah, right ......

Yes, they took them off the market for "upgrades" ;-)

eBay has them but I remember seeing one that held various Otterbox cases somewhere....

Mine snapped and the part that holds my phone broke... I'm also looking for a car dock myself.

I'll sell ya mine. PM me if yer interested. I never use it. It's in perfect condition.

I've also got a car dock I'll sell if anyone wants it. I hardly use it now and I'm moving to the city next week, so I really won't be needing it now.
I don't have the car charger, just the dock.
PM me if you want it.
Sent from Vera, my Iconia A500; All dressed up going places!

Are there car docks that have the right attachment for the outterbox defender case?

I have a Rocketfish mount I got at Best Buy for $10 that has the same style attachment point on it as the defender case. Bracketron also makes mounts with the same type attachment. You can get a variety of 'stalks' to mount the defender on.

No - it seems that Best Buy has switched to Bracketron for their universal GPS mounts. Search BB's site for 'universal gps mount'. You can find the rocketfish mounts on eBay - same search term.

Do you guys think this will fit the Nexus 7?

It may work, but I wouldn't spend $40 plus shipping for a case that isn't made for the N7.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

they sell the same (looks the same at least) case at my local staples....take in your nexus and try it out and see if it really is worth $40.....the one at staples was $33 i think

Its the only case Ive seen that I like so far..[/QUOTE]
No it won't work. I took mine in and it wasn't a good fit.
I ended up getting one from Bestbuy this weekend. Still spent $40, but it fits perfect and looks good.
XDA wont let me post the link but just search for Belkin - Verve Folio Case for Amazon Kindle Fire - Black/Red

Thanks for the head's up, back on the hunt then lol

[VIDEO] EXOTEK Premium Slim-Fit Folio Cover Case - NOW WITH REVIEW

EXOTEK Premium Slim-Fit Folio Cover Case With Multi-Angle Stand For Google Nexus 7 Tablet (With Automatic Sleep/Wake Function) (Black)
Okay, this could be an awesome case. This is a pre-order, and for $8.99 with free shipping, it's a steal.
Here is my video review of this case:
Very nice. I recommend this, for the price.

Thanks OP, pre-ordered one...let's say if it doesn't work well, then only $8.99 anyway

Looks good but is there a speaker cut out?

It's a kindle fire thats in the picture..look at the speakers and bezel. A great deal, if its actually meant for the N7

From what I had read, this is a pre-order, so they probably haven't taken a picture with the Nexus 7 yet.

I have attempted to make contact with the maker to see if I can get a more recent photo with the N7 instead of the Kindle Fire.
They have not responded yet.

Please keep us posted

Rev, please keep us posted. Looks like a good non-bulky case.

They keep changing the price... I pre-ordered that exact case when it was $4.99+ free shipping and expected to ship on August 3rd. The other day it was $8.99 and $5 shipping, and now it's $6.95+ $5 shipping and not expected to ship until August 15th! I might have to cancel the order though, I can't wait that long to get a case.

Just got an email saying that it shipped. If anyone here is interested, I can do a quick review when it arrives...

Surprisingly, mine came last week. I haven't had a chance to do any sort of review (urghh college!!) but I'll be looking forward to your review. I agree, it's definitely worth the money.

I'm such a sucker for reviews... will wait to make a decision on a few diff cases until I see some from you guys, thanks!!

It appears to be. I guess they've changed the price a few times since they first announced it.

Got mine in four days great way to protect the N7 for $10!

Yes, I said heighth. Don't tell me that this isn't a word, because it is.
I have this argument all of the time with a friend of mine.

I got the Blurex brand version of this on Amazon. At the time it was $7.26 shipped. Differences are stylus loop, flap strap and hand strap.

English is made up of made up words all the time, enough people use it, it gets incorporated into it's vocabulary eventually.
Example; okay, o.k. aka oll korrect... It's not a "word", although it's used world wide and has an accepted meaning..
