White replacement parts

We all know about the OEM white battery cover.
Do other white parts for the DINC exist? I've been Googling for half an hour and haven't had any luck, thought someone here may have found something. If not, how hard would it be to order a new body and digitizer then turn them white?

Would also like to know!

So, the white battery cover:

I guess that somehow, we could paint the front housing white.

But I don't know what we would do about the digitizer....

And the power/volume buttons would need to be done as well. Haven't found a link for those individual parts yet, but I'll keep looking.

gotta ask IncDoes.. i do believe he had an all white inc.. until he lost it

They'll start selling the white ones soon, just have to wait I guess...
About The HTC Droid Incredible Front Cover:
The cover is available in both black and white. Currently we only sell black front covers. We will sell the white units later on.

They're probably just saying that because there happens to be the OEM white battery cover and the evo had a white version... But I'm still hopeful.

You can get a white vinyl to go over the front of your Inc.

I cracked my digitizer at the top yesterday so i'm dying to replace it with white parts.... how long do you think it will be before they start popping up?

Dunno... how long after the evo's launch did that white version come out?

I wouldnt think they would now be making white parts for our phones....we can't even have wireless charging without modding....theres just not enough backing for our phones. I'm not saying it wouldn't be awesome but that just seems to be how it goes

Just thinking here that all the desire to have a white Dinc would be better served to just get an iPhone instead of trying to make a Droid look like it.
Don't put much stock in my thinking on this subject, black in my favorite colour (or lack there of) and white would be my least favorite colour next to brown. Guess I'm lucky it comes stock in black, no custom skins or anything needed to make it look it's best.

iPhones (at least the ones out now) aren't white. So its more like theyre trying to make it look less of an iphone than more to it.

The whole white thing just makes me think MAC/iPhone.

Looking like an iphone never crossed my mind when wanting a white phone. I just think it looks boss.
I may order the regular black parts online and paint them glossy white. If I do, i'll post a lot of high-res pics.

I don't think iPhone owns the color white ;P
Most of the iPhones have a metal backing anyhow, I think that white version is a customish sort of iPhone- similar to how HTC gives us an option to have a white backcover.
I'm looking for white parts too but guess I'll be waiting with the rest until (or if) they come out.

White Nexus S skins

Hey so I stumbled upon this site tonight.
http://www.uniqueskins.com/Products/Samsung/Custom+Samsung+Nexus+S+Skin?t=c
They seem to sell really cheap bit high quality skins for the nexus s. I was thinking about buying a full white one and turning my nexus s fully white. Anybody want to give it a whirl and yell us how it goes? Ill do it pretty soon but I gotta wait til I get back from a trip.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure you won't get a "fully white" Nexus S because there will be some gaps when you apply the skin (due to Nexus S' shape -- something like the pic below.)

Definitely post pics please. I'm very very interested but I'd like to see it on someone's phone first.

I want to know how the front will look with the capacitive buttons on the bottom. When you design the skin, it looks like the front covers the whole bottom...

Anybody get theirs yet?

mine has arrived, i didnt design the front, so it was just white. I did however apply it just out of interest. It looked ok, perfect fit, but did cover the capacitive buttons (which still worked)
The back is really just a very well placed sticker, with a second part to attach to the 'chin', which i didnt bother with.
All in all, as you can see, it looks pretty good, and i will be ordering another darker one, this was just a quick test really

can you take a picture of the front? I'm curious to see how it looks.

I'm afraid I took the front off already, I'm ordering another soon and this time I shall design the front and show that as well.
It fit perfectly but was white and didn't show the screen at its best, and the screen is one of the most important things to me!

I found a Quality case

Thought i'd share a case I bought for my nexus s because I feel like they are all super cheap quality... Like hard plastic that scratches the phone and traps dust, or rubber that attracts dust and doesn't slide into your pocket right... And the brand name cases look ugly overall... I found this one on ebay for about $12. It's not too bulky, is hard put pliable, and looks good imo (its got pearl in it).
Here some pics...

Wow, these actually look very nice with the marble-like look of the case. Especially looking at the black one, the front view of the phone with the case on almost looks like there's nothing on.
However, I don't like the branding on the back. While the "Nexus | S" is nice, the "Mercury, design by New York" is a dealbreaker. Shouldn't it be "designed IN New York?" Don't want a spelling mistake on my phone.

That is really a dealbreaker for you, one word? I suppose you could rub it off with some kinda solvent.
oh I forgot to add the seller included 2 screenprotectors which was a nice surprise.

Well I'm not a fan of all that writing and the logo on the back to begin with so the grammar mistake was the dealbreaker.
Anyways, the white one looks pretty good and hides the logo and writing fairly well. Just wondering, how much bulk does it add? Considering it's a hard case, they are usually fairly bulky so I'm just wondering if you can compare it to any other case.
Thanks.

Truthfully i haven't tried any other cases, i just have an invisible shield on the phone. I'm not sure how to describe the "bulk" but it does make the phone feel larger in the hand. The back portion is also kinda thick so... overall it becomes a slightly thicker phone.

I want that white silicon case now ....

I just ordered one.
Thanks for the info.

I want one of these for an i9023 Looks great (though the text really shouldn't be there).
Guess I'll have to stick with my hard black mesh.

Ordered mine last week. Should take about 2 weeks-ish to reach here. lol.

I just bought a white one myself...
So I have a transparent/diamond plaid pattern TPU case and i'll get that shiny white TPU case in a lil while.
So many cases, too little time.

Got brave with some Sharpie's!

Well as the title says I got brave with some sharpies and added the one last thing I wish Google would have. Pics below. Idk if it will last or wear away or what but figured I'd chance it. So far seems to be holding the ink pretty well and nothing smears or anything since letting it dry a few minutes.

They each got their added bonuses I think. With the black one ya get the nice feel of that soft touch like the nexus 7, which helps with grip. The white one has a nice contrast look between the black n white, but it's white back is slick and I'm afraid I'll drop it without a case.

I'd give it a try on my N5, but I've never been good at coloring inside the lines. I'd end up with a rainbow backed Nexus.

I hate the white speaker. Always makes me think I have a notification and why is the notification light on the bottom of the phone? I always pick up my phone upside down since all the other phones have the notification light at the top. So weird. Maybe I'll sharpie the speaker...

That's exactly why I went through the headache of returning my white one and waiting 3 weeks for a black one to arrive. If I had to look at that white speaker one more day, I was going to hurl. LOVE the white back, but after I put a case on, all I had to was the nasty white speaker to look at. It also too drove me insane thinking it was the notification light.

I believe that the Nexus logo is created out of ceramic pieces and those markers are supposed to work on glass, so it should be fine.

Very nice. Will definitely have to give this a try.
And yes I thought thread was a hey look I changed my white ear piece to black. Which I actually like a lot. Don't know why people hate on it.

Customized Skins

Got bored and went ahead and played around with my plotter. I think I did a pretty good job myself...what do you guys think?
Managed cut-outs for all the ports, including top and bottom. IR still works since it's behind the power button.

So i've got some black and some red carbon fiber if anyone is interested.

I'm definitely in if the price is right

ooohhh drool. I am interested too:fingers-crossed:

The carbon fiber works great!
And fits under a spigen ultra hybrid too! It just takes some jimmying to keep the side pieces from being pushed off buy the case...
Here's a link to an album with more shots and angles if you're curious.

How much do you think is fair for a custom wrap?
Please let me know if there's interest for these, and I'll go through the work of setting up an Etsy or Ebay listing.

15 would be fair. As long as they last a while and have a standard warranty

It is cut out, but out of the same piece, and the whole back is removed at once from the paper backing, with masking tape keeping the designs lined up.
...that doesn't seem impossible, but it will take some extra detail work to get it aligned properly, and more materials.

that could be interesting. i will definitely keep it in mind. I have a plain black carbon from another company right now and am getting bored with it. I might hit you up in a week or two.

Anonymous mask?
I was thinking this cut-out would look cool. Not sure on what sort of texture it would look best though!?
I just googled around, can't post links annoyingly, but if you go to qvectors DOT net SLASH vendeta-mask-vector there is a vector example.
I am thinking of trying to get some splash screens, boot animations and backgrounds too, would go well on a completely stripped down ROM with XPrivacy and AFWall+ installed.

That would look cool. Unless you have a clear back case, I'd probably do it negative. The white parts would be in red, with a thin border around it for the outline. That way there wouldn't be lots of small pieces to get lifted off by routine handling..

Can you like make just like faces symbol? Like just iron man face or transformers face only.? It's cuz I like the silver/metallic.

Good point, awesome idea. I'm going to try and put the phone in the clear baseus skin that people are talking about - seems to be the thinnest out there.
