Where can I find FULL Legend housing ?

Hi mates,
Because of 2 little dings and scratches on my phone, I'm looking for a new aluminium body spare part for my Legend but I can't find it anywhere...even in e-bay. What can I do?! Should I contact HTC support and send my phone to repair center?!?
Thanks

I would also like to know this...
probably the same location when the black legend comes out...

Same, I don't think we'll see any because it's an odd designed phone.

Found this:

NICE !
Now we just have to wait for the black one...

Has anybody had any luck finding the black housing yet?

Somebody find something?

haven't found one, but I do have an phantom black legend at my disposal.
My thoughts about it:
It looks very "bad", very nice, when I put my silver legend next to it it seems a lot smaller (the black one).
However I do have my doubts about the housing.
It isn't black aluminium its rather silver aluminium with a matt black coating.
So I'm afraid that the scratches are going to be silver...
The screen is surrounded with a silver edge just as ours.
Very nice housing but time will tell about the scratches...

Closest thing I could find

There's a good video review of the Legend in all its black glory.
I can't understand a word the guy's saying, but it's good nonetheless

How funny is norweigian?

Not that funny as English.

OK, despite being a bit more expensive, which I didn't see for a bad thing, the spare part that came to me from htcrepaitparts is awfull...I wrote them and e-mail to correct this mistake and we will see how they react, but I was very much dissapointed when I unpacked it...It was not anodized, but simply coated aluminum, the upper cover hiding flash, camera etc was a complete fake - there are no antennas inside, just painted "pads"...
the only thing looking decent is the battery cover...

So has anyone else find an authentic site that is able to sell the HTC Legend full housing yet? It'd be wicked if there was someone who would anodize these babies to a sexy red tinge. Hmmm

Nexus S Pure White Skin?

Herro peoples!
I want to buy a skin for my Nexus (not a "case").
I was wondering if there is a skin out there that is pure white. What I mean by that is a skin that is just white, with no menu button designs, NOTHING but white. If there is a white skin with cut outs for the menu buttons (so that they appear black when not turned on and glow white when active) I would be more interested in that though.
I desperately want to turn my "white" nexus to a completely white phone . If there is another way to do this besides skins, like changing the face cover or whatever please tell me.
Thanks ahead of time!

...Could I suggest a spray paint bottle ?

You can buy a bezel online and paint it white. You can also get an already white back cover. That's the whitest you'll get, since there's no screen with a white portion.

My phone is already the white Nexus S from Telus so the battery cover won't be needed. I might try the bezel.
Unique skins (http://www.uniqueskins.com/Products/Samsung/Custom+Samsung+Nexus+S+Skin?t=c) and decalgirl (http://www.decalgirl.com/category.view/Samsung-Google-Nexus-S-Skins) both have a white skin... Unique skins also let's you make your own skins so I can make a solid white one. I'll try that before anything else. Only worries are that the skins won't cover the 2 sides of the front screen that are black, only the other areas (only the top speaker area and bottom buttons area). I'd get upset if that happened lol. So I am going to end up getting a pure white case too

The decal girl one looks like it has sides (and there's a solid white one). Dunno about the uniqueskin one. Since you already have a white back cover, there's only the bezel left.
Edit: It has the buttons though. >_>

Eh I;m actually not that upset about t having buttons I'd still get it LOL. Tough choices... I either make my own solid white skin on unique skin without (assuming) buttons or get the decagirl one with buttons... Which would look nicer?

Just to help you out some, I was trying to find actual pictures of the Decalgirl skin on a nexus s, I found one review. Here is a good idea what the phone would look like with the skin on, you just have to imagine it white Like I said in my thread about Decalgirl skins, when mine arrives I'll take some pictures. Hope this helped!

No problem always willing to help!
I believe when you get the skin you don't have to use the cutouts, you can leave them on to cover up, we shall find out tomorrow or Friday.

yeah i know the one your talking about i got the same thing.. that is just a Battery Cover What i am after is a replacement for the Front, and side panels and also the back battery cover. They are called " Faceplates, Or Housings "
You have to disassemble the phone using specific tools and a certain method of disconnecting plugs and stuff to get it done, but you take the phone down to the base parts.. then assemble it together in a new housing
Cost roughly between $30 - $60 depending on where you get them from, you need Paypal to purchase them over ebay, which i dont have.. !

I have changed a screen, and my phone work perfectly.

Black vs White subtle differences

I got a chance today to get hold of both variations. Other than the obvious color on the back, there are several subtle differences:
1. Earpiece color, black vs white
2. Side finish, matte vs glossy
3. Back finish, soft-touch vs regular matte plastic (contrary to what Engadget reported)
I was going to grab the white one for the look, but after getting them in my hands, I changed my mind. That soft touch back on the black one is really comfortable to touch (I don't plan on using a case anyway). Also, I prefer the earpiece to be black.
Also take a look at this post:

Weak, I didn't know that (about the finish on the back) or I too would've opted for black.

So the conclusion is that white has the better looking and the black is more comfortable for using?

16gb white was all that was available when i hit the play store yesterday so that's what i ordered. i like the black / white combo on this device and ordered the white spiegen ultra fit case to show it off.
won't really matter how the back compares against the black once the case is on there.

Well yes, this is my opinion, although IMO white is just slightly more appealing if it also have a soft touch back.
I guess having soft touch on white is either very difficult, or will make it stain/turn yellow easily
I always believed that the white one will not have soft touch, until I read the Engadget report...but it turns out to be false

I have a white GS3 and love white devices but after never being able to get a case or bumper that can stay clean, I opted for the black Nexus 5.

Man, if I had known the white wasn't a soft-touch stain magnet, I may have considered it more. That white ear piece grill is ugly, though.

Now that you mention it it makes sense that they wouldnt go soft touch with the white. Makes me long for the black one now. Im not usually one to put my phone is a case, but I think without the softback I might go with a case this time around and see how it works. Regardless, they both look like great pieces of hardware

Man thats disappointing. I was looking forward to the white. Did the back cover feel like the same type of plastic on the white HTC HERO? I Wish I could get hands on both. I was really up for the white but the ear piece looks silver in pics and I thought it would really detract from the gorgeous screen always catching your eye.
Shame they really should have documented that there was a difference in the two models and how they are finished.
Also how did the glossy sides feel of the white one? Im assuming the white is aimed stereotypically at the female market hence the glossy glossy sides.

I don't know how it compares to Hero... My first Android device is the GNex. It feels similar to white Note 3's back.
The sides shouldn't make that much difference in feel, I guess (I didn't check that out).

Looking at these pictures it seems the black one is fingerprint magnet:

I've got it in hand and it is really good looking, the back is a soft touch plastic but it is different to the black. The black is identical to the 2013 N7, where as the white is smoother and less absorbent, but still very comfortable.
Let's put it this way, in was stood with the black in one hand and the white in the other, could have had either and I walked away with the white

ALL the phones/tablet he show in the comparison have greasy prints all over :laugh:
Even the two-year old phone I use everyday is much cleaner...

Yeah looking at YouTube vids the white is soft touch. The sides are definitely glossy I actually think it looks more premium than the black.
However the white earpiece cover is freaking unforgivable in my eyes who thought that was a good idea. Its so freaking distracting.
It may be good so you can quickly pick up the phone the right way up but coming from a gnex my eye is drawn to it since its the same size as the notification light on my nexus.
Also watching any video on this and your always going to be drawn to the white dot. If they were willing to do that they may as well have made the whole thing white. The point in the black front is to stop glare or light reflection so as not to distract from the screen. This does the opposite.
It reminds me of a mini galaxy tab when it first came out. I liked that and I like this just not the white earpiece. Silly design feature.

Damnit, so does it feel something like the black Nexus 5? that weird soft/gel type feel?
Also, looking at the middle plate that I ordered and it seems like I only need to swap out the camera and a couple of other things. The small delicate pieces seem to come with the new housing. The battery being the biggest thing to have to remove, should go smoothly tho since I'm not separating the digitizer from the front glass.
Did you have any hiccups or anything like that?
Oh, I have a white Moto X and it looks like the sim tray is the same part number as the tray of the Nexus 6, so I'll just swap them over. Where did you find the replacement battery cover for the Moto X Pro?

I had no issues at all doing the swap.

Awesome, thanks. So you didn't swap out the actual bezel piece?

Yes I did, in the first picture it's blue and the second picture it's white/silver.
Here is the link to the frame I bought.

This weekend I'm going to switch back to the one that was once blue because I've done this to it.
Polished aluminum!

Ohhh you did the polishing thing? That's awesome. What all did you have to transfer over from your complete middle plate to the new white plate? I'll be able to tell once I get my hands on it but it would be nice to know what to expect.
If there was a way to flat black the entire bezel, I'd be down for that. Similar to the black HTC one.

If I remember correctly it was just the battery, the top speaker, and the camera glass.
Battery was the hardest part as the other two just pop out.

Hey did you have an issue with the adhesive on the back cover? meaning did your replacement back come with adhesive already attached? I've seen that you can purchase the adhesive separately so I wasn't sure if it comes with the cover.

Mine came with the adhesive already attached. It is a real pain in the a$$ to get the stock one off. I use a heat gun to warm it up a little and it helped a lot!
At first I thought it might be tough to line the new one up on the first try but it was easy. I pulled off the adhesive backing fully and then lined the top up with the camera hole and it went down fine.

I wish I found this video before I did mine because getting the back started was the hardest part for me.

All of the parts came in the mail yesterday, so that's the middle plate, tools and white back battery cover (with adhesive attached). I went through TMO to get yet another warranty replacement since my power button is kind of wonky, so I'll have a couple of N6's to take apart and compare to make sure things are done correctly.
Thanks for the tips.

I was going to wait to switch to my polished aluminum frame until I got another back because I when I took my stock blue one off I scratched it up a bit.
But since I found that video I went ahead and switched the frames out again before the other back I ordered came.
I don't think I have ever received so many compliments on a phone (and I've had almost every flagship phone) as I have on my Nexus 6 with the polished aluminum frame and Moto X Pro back.
