looking for a battery cover. damn thing scrates too easily

anybody know where to get a cheap black battery cover. the one that came with the device is full of scratches
also whats the cheapest place that sells the battery with its it external charger. simiar to this one for the diamond http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.17053 (this works well btw and its only $4)
i wish dealextreme sells x1 stuff

yea.. i am interested in getting a battery cover as well. mine is scratched... grrr... so easy to be scratched

nothing?
what about just a cheap stote that sells cheap x1 stuff?

Also looking for a black battery cover
EDIT: Found one although expensive http://ucables.com/ref/BATTERY-COVER-SE-X1-P-R89657

have you check with sony support about a battery cover? or is it just that expensive. i dont think you will find anyone making a battery cover other than sony for the x1. i could be wrong tho.
if you cover is that badly scratched, why not just sand it, leave the metal bare or paint it. put a cover on it and it will not be noticeable.

Hmm... yes i found it easily scratched... geez...
However i ordered from the authorized service here, and they charge me $15 for it. Not yet arrived, they need to indent.
Do you think it's expensive? For original cover?

How about I give you my account number and you can withdraw the money yourself . Get real.
My cover got scratched from using a PDAIR case that is leather on the inside as well. It started taking the paint off the edges. Hopefully somebody finds something for less than 40$, which is a little ridiculous.

@megacrazy,
I agree w/ you. Maybe on that ebay listing put a offer in. Ive bought from that seller before and Ive put in $7-$15 cheaper than what his asking prices is and he's has accepted everytime. Its worth a try...worst case senerio is he say no. But i definitely agree w/ you $40 is alittle steep.

Haha...thanks for the tip. I put in 30$ and it was automatically accepted. Still a little steep but better than 40$. I guess we can test the waters next time with some 20$ offers

Has anyone seen their new cover? Mine just got scratches while in vacation. I need the new one and didn't find one on ebay.
Any help?

jimcat,seeing that you are based in HK, might be easier for you to contact/pay the seller than us. I would be interested but could I trouble you to get one instead of me buying directly from the seller?

sure... becsuse i want it too.
just want more orders so that i will buy it at once

Can i remove things from a dummy phone?

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

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?

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

Genuine HD2 housing backplate spare parts

thought id post up on here as i have done on the hd2 forum as to where people out of warranty, not under contract or not wanting to risk some of the crap on ebay can find genuine spare parts for this phone?
i myself would like a battery cover and rear housing but cannot find anywhere that will sell one. are phone companies just making phones now and not parts to go with them and leaving it up to 3rd parties to make knock off goods?
others threads where people have tried htc directly have been unsuccessful. my provider doesnt want to help and i dont want to part with hard earned cash for ebay items or similar as they all say they are genuine items but have subtle differences each time.
anyone help?

I bought a replacement battery cover here: http://www.netimes.com/shop/original-htc-hd2-battery-cover-p-2564.html?cPath=80_731
It appeared to be a genuine part and worked well.
You can find the housing parts here:
http://shop.brando.com/search.php?keyword=hd2&Submit=Product+Search
Note that they also sell the battery cover but slightly dearer, the reason why I didn't purchase from them. However, I have purchased other products from them in the past and they are trustworthy.

cheers for all the links. none look too promising though. as for the htc store. they have a battery cover but nothing else. i need the main housing. found one from another shop. i will post up pics and details when it arrives. looked pretty good in the picture.

just kinda curious,since we are able to replace the lcd screen ourselves,is it even possible to say upgrade it to a SAMOLED screen?

amazon has the orginal battery door for 12 USD

What's the difference between these cases?

Is it just me, or do these two Galaxy Note II cases look pretty much identical?
One is made by Bear Motion and the other is made by Evecase.
Link to Bear Motion case
Link to Evecase case
In the pictures the Evecase one looks darker, but I think that's just the photography.
Anyone see the difference?

Most likely the same cheap HK case companies buy in bulk from Aliexpress retailers and re-sell under their own name at a premium mark up

I have the evecase. Its fairly nice but the corner kinda tore/broke so theres a piece that is dangling. Otherwise, I like it. Kept its shape pretty well and the slots are big enough for multiple cards. You can either keep the backplate on or take it off. Don't expect a ton of drop protection.

Aliexpress.com is like ebay gathering of all HK retailers that either sell in bulk or individual items. The problem is that when you search - a ton of results will return. Try the same names as you have mentioned in original post, although some ebay retailers give their own name to a product to distinguish themselves so you would think theirs is an original product But like I said, searching my take awhile. Listen, if you like those products you listed in OP, just buy either of those and don't worry about it. Aliexpress retailers usually don't take paypal, only credit cards anyway. My point was there might not be any difference and if it looks the same - it's the same products with the same quality!

I'd imagine that the battery would slip out a bit if you took the backplate off. Is that not the case? Also, can you access the volume rocker at all? Would it be easy to cut out a hole in the side for the volume rocker?

Nope. I'm not sure if they have pictures of the inside of the case, but it basically is just a black shell that the phone snaps into. I've both snapped it in with and without the the backplate and never had any issues either way. I keep the backplate on now just in case I want to take it out.
While the volume rocker is not openly exposed, the spine of the case is soft and you can easily press the volume rocker through it.

Thanked for the very helpful post. Aliexpress looks pretty cool. I don't think I'll be buying my case from there (free same-day shipping from amazon!) but I'll probably get some other things for super cheap that I can actually bear the shipping times for.

Also, in regards to cutting a hole, while unnecessary, it could probably be done. I'd be worried about fraying though.

Replacement Parts for Back Cover

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.

https://dbrand.com/shop/oneplus-3-skins
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!
