Just what im looking for to, think ive read somewhere that gpsforless may be stocking them, but there is still no confirmed date.
Anyone know where and when these will be available.
A case or skin for this would be great.
I am awaiting a silicone case myself, but for now, I use the stock case without the keyboard. It still works good, IMO.
I was hoping that Vaja Cases would have one but it may end up that we're at the next great device before they come out with one. We'll see.
I like the look of this case:
http://www.pielframa.net/prodi.asp?id=465
I have confirmed that it will fit the device without the keyboard.
The issue obviously is the magnetic strip on the device itself. Can this be be removed? If so then there is no risk to credit cards etc and I will be happy with both the device and the case...

Uhm...interesting...but if it'd have a belt clip too it would be better...because this way it'd have Bible-carry effect.
...I was watching to this model http://www.pielframa.net/cartridge_cesta.asp. Did you check if its dimension fits to X7500?
OK then,
I was going to get a new housing for my sad looking Ameo. They come in the standard Ameo silver or a rather smart HTC black. I already have a silver case, but here is the question.
Do the black housings, wear, scratch, or paint rub away easy? I don't want to get one and find it looks crap after six months. They ain't cheap! before anyone else says it, I know it depends how you treat it. I'm on about normal wear and tear use. How does yours look now? are there any signs of the metal underneath showing?

Black Case On The "advantage"...
Hey Jay,
I have a HTC Advantage x7501, with the black case of course, and have been using it with "typical" every-day use now for about 6 months. I have never even seen one of the silver cased "Ameo" versions of the device in person, so my review is a bit "one-sided," if you will... Also, I have a friend with whom I work with that also owns the same model as I. With saying all that, and without having experienced the silver model, I would bet the silver model would hold up a bit better on the finish due to the fact that if the silver gets scratched, the metal beneath it looks much closer to the silver finish than the black. I have a couple small blemishes on mine, and I am very particular with my mobile devices, but after using day-by-day at work and home, it has managed to get marked up just a bit. The biggest problem is, if you get a scratch on it, the metal below sticks out "like a sore thumb!"
I definitely believe that the black finish is a bit more professional looking, where sometimes the silver finishes can make a device look cheap or make it stand out.
Anyways, to give you my honest account on TWO Advantage x7501 devices (black finish) after 6 or so months of daily use, it is overall good, and neither one shows any major signs of wearing finish. Also, we both use a case that the device "slides" tightly in and out of each time you use it (without the keyboard attatched), and the device really hasn't shown any real signs of wear on the sides where it rubs the case. However, if you do happen to mark it up in any way, you will definitely notice it. Again, I am very picky, so keep that in mind, but so you have a better idea of what I am saying, I attatched a couple of pics so you can see what it looks like when or if you do scratch or mark it.
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
-Ryan
Also Note: Only one of the devices I wrote about is pictured, but are very similar in condition, and were both purchased slightly used.
X7501 Cosmetics...
I have had my X7501 for almost 10 months now and it only has one very tiny mark on the top right corner (you have to look hard to even see it).
Since I'm also very particular about my devices (I always keep them looking new) I just used a Sharpie (permanent marking pen) to "erase" the offending mark. This works great and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to touch-up black anodized aluminum like the Athena housing.
Wow! thanks for the reply Guys, Ryan that was one hell of a reply. Must have took you a while to do that and I appreciate it. toyfreak, the idea with the marker pen is a great one. I think on just that idea alone I will get black. Its harder to touch up silver! It looks better too.
Regards
Jay
Indeed is surprisingly hard coating, I carry mine in my pockets and can't say I'm careful with it, rather the opposite, I have it since it came out and there is only a little wear in one of the corners, hardly noticeable, where the scratches are more visible, is on the silver border next to the screen, not that it look bad or anything.
Black housing - Where?
I would like to know where you can buy a black housing for your Ameo, mine needs a new one as well!
And what about your keyboard, can you get a black one too?
/HM
Silver / AMEO
Hi guys,
Proud owner of a wonderful brick since 6 months in grey color I should say that if I new I would have choosen a different color.
The grey AMEO housing is far from being "time resistant"...
Since few weeks the "video camera" around the front cam as disappeared and the "Alert" will soon do the same.
I allways take good care of my stuf and I'am bit disapointed for a 1.000 bucks machine to see it !

Hi,
Just a quick update on the new housing. It's arrived, and I put it on. It looks great, so glad I got black. Thanks to those who took the trouble to answer this post so well.
If anyone needs a new housing for their device then let me know and I will let you know where to get them from. He claims to have a few left!

The X7501 does not have the internal or 2nd camera, the X7500 does. So I would have a big hole in my unit if I used that one. I don't know if the inside layout is any different but that's the only visible thing on the external end.
I need a new housing too.
Anychance you could PM me a link or contact for this.
Thanks in advance.

LMAO dude have you been drinking? The 7501 has 1 camera and the 7500 and the 7510 has 2. I own the 7501 which is also cheaper than the 7500. I suggest you google them and you'll see the difference.
tootallk is correct. 7501 has 1.

hi
you are talking about a extra case to protect the athena right?, the thread is about replacing the cover / housing of the athena itself, a step that becomes nesesary when you not use case like your nutshell .
anyhow (and to really come back to subject ) i have to replace my housing too and wonder, why nobody can simply post the web/email adress of a reseller here?. i searched alot now an only find companies in asia and prices 'far away from reality', so if someone know a good reseler please post here.
thanks mad

P.S if im in trouble "Madbird" made me do it
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

Thanks anyway, spikegotti.
Does anyone know if it's possible what i asked?

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?
Like this: http://mobile.brando.com/sony-erics...ment-front-battery-cover_p04302c0670d088.html
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
Hello,
I have the Razr i and the lack of accessories is killing me. So can anyone tell me what other phones have the same dimensions as the 890? I have seen on here comments about the Razr M being the same, except for the camera button, but also that things won't fit as they have been designed for the M, suggesting sizes are different! So can anyone confirm what's for the M will or won't fit the i? In particular I look at the Otterbox cover for the M and think it'll do the job (bar the camera button cutout)
BTW, I've been on to Motorola UK back in November who assured me the accessories were 'imminent'.
Yeah right..... :laugh:
The M has exactly the same shape as the I .
I do use the official M car dock with my Razr I and it fit perfectly.
Of course for a cover you'll have to cut a little bit if you want to keep an access to the camera button.

Hi,
I can confirm that the Razr M has the same dimensions as Razr I and equipment shaped for M also fits Razr I except the hole for camera button. But if you're looking for cases I must warn you that I've already bought two hard covers and neither of them fits perfectly. The obvious reason is that both RAZRs are wedge shaped and it's hard to hit such shape. Possible solution is in buying soft cases or more expensive ones.

That was my concern with the cheaper cases. I usuaulyl keep my phones for a couple of years at least, so a more expensicve case is fair enough, and as the Otterbox jobs are ~£30ish I'd expect a bloody good fit! :laugh:
Hey all, I've just ordered an Xperia V and it will arrive next week. My problem though considering I cracked the screen on my Nexus S is protection. I really don't want to damage my phone and need it protected well. I want to get a flip case with card holders as they are very convenient however, there don't seem to be many manufacturers of Xperia V cases.
Does anyone have some suggestions of cases or had experience with any of them?
