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.

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
Anyone have any shots of their Incredible with the white battery cover on and the red one? Im contemplating getting one or the other and then a battery from Amazon. Just cant decide and I cant picture either one on the phone. If you can Id like to see front, sides, and back shots.
I don't have photos readily available of mine, however, I have an android green, white and red w/ carbon fiber battery cover. It really is a toss up between the red and white. They look great!

I would have to agree with you.

I did this for my fiance. Not the video, but I copied the idea. Griffin Reveal case with White back cover, makes for a nicer transition in colors rather than black and white split right down the center. Looks really nice. The rubber sides are stiff enough so the phone doesn't slide out and the frosty back keeps the case looking nice even if you get scratches on it.
Start at 2:54 if you want to skip to the phone in case. Without the case the red back looks better IMO.

I'm going to have my paint department match the color and have them spray it at work then i will put it all together. I'm still waiting on them to ship it though.
i will post pics when i get ready to do it all.
edit
after emailing them they send me a tracking number. should have it today or tomorrow.
Post pics of the thing when it's done.
I am highly interested...
The carbon fiber i bought was a pre cut piece i found on ebay. Each piece peeled off a sheet and had adhesive to apply to the battery cover. I put it on a red cover.

Has anyone tried any of the numerous replacement housings from eBay? I don't want to put a link to a specific seller... but if you search "htc incredible housing" you'll get a slough of results.
I'm always a bit hesitant to purchase non OEM pieces for any phone... but some of the housings look pretty decent.

I purchased the metallic red battery cover which was non-oem and generally good quality. It wasn't perfect, but it was much better than most non oem products I've tried.
However my one complaint about it is that it makes the phone more slippery. It makes it harder to keep in your hand. Otherwise it looks and works great.

I looked at them, but you have to remove one of the screws on the front housing that has a void sticker on it. As soon as you remove that your warranty is over.

That is what a needle (removal) and a drop of glue (re-applying) is for.
Does anyone still have an Inc under warranty?
Plus, replacement phones are like... $160 on eBay...
Hi guys,
I could not find a demo device from my local telco stores and based on what you have discovered, is HTC one silver or black version very slippery when holding it with one hand?
I used to have HTC one s grey version which had full aluminum unibody but that beauty was very slippery to a degree that I would drop it when pulling it from my jeans. So how is HTC one doing compared to one s grey version?
Thanks!!

I have seen the dummy black one in 3 store, it was not very slippery but the back was very smooth indeed. I am more concerning the silver one which I would probably get, just really want to know if that is the same as black one or more slippery cos I it seems like they are different finish.
Really want to preorder but cannot decide yet before I know how slippery one would be. Thanks for any help!!

Ohh sorry but I couldn't help you there. I didn't even get the chance to see the device other than on the internet. But thanks! I am buying the black one and glad it's great.
I've only held one briefly, but I did find it very difficult to keep hold of. It's the shape that's the problem - it's too thin at the sides, and because it's all curves and no edges there's nothing to get a grip on.

Silver. I've not encountered a black one, but as I said it was the shape that was the problem, not the texture of the surface, and the black one is the same shape.
Something I should have said earlier is that I don't hold phones the way normal people do. I hold the phone in my left hand and operate it with my right index finger, rather than holding it in my right hand and using my right thumb. That may make a difference.

Hey! That's cool & unique! BTW you mentioned it's all curves and no sharp edges. Is it really "all" edges? Even on the sides there's no edges?

I tried the dummy black the other day, given the fact that I have galaxy s3 at the moment, I have to say I felt harder/sharper edge than holding a s3.
Of course it could be all because the quality of dummy is no comparison to the real thing, that's why I am planning to go to Stratford westfield to try my luck if I could have my hands on a demo device today. will report back later.

Went to Stratford Westfield today, haha super happy got my hand on a silver demo device from 3 store. It felt much better than dummy phone I have to say, the edges are much smoother and surprisingly not as slippery as one s grey version!! I think this is because One is thicker than One s so it gives you better grip.
Overall very very very happy about the silver colour, may just preorder one tomorrow!!

I have held three different devices now, I have not felt any slipperiness
It's similar to the Desire HD .. a bit slippery but not too bad!

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?

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.

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.

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.
Seriously, I can't use the phone without noticing these thick black borders. The soft gold variant appealed me because Oneplus photoshopped out the black borders inside the bezels. Why oneplus why?
Furthermore, I don't have any option to return the phone as I've imported it. I am hating the phone that I wanted to love.
Do not buy in Soft Gold, it's ugly.

yeah... all the white phones have this as the screen that is active does not end where bezels start. That's why on black version is not noticeable even though it is there.

Yes, but not to the level of this phone. Apple, to their credit shiw the border(which is thinner than on OP3 anyway) in the promotional pictures. But if you look at OP3's website the gold color is shown without any border. I feel bit cheated.
I'm overacting a bit but I'm really regretting the fact that I don't have an option to exchange it for a black one.

Why did you want the soft gold version in the first place? Looks like a phone for Russian girls anyway.
Get a normal one, problem solved.

It looked cleaner and elegant in the promotional pictures. The gold on it doesn't look girly. Shame for the white front though.

For me looks nice, question is why people can't check what they are buying, funny problem

Because they might live in a country where they don't have access to do so.
I just received my "russian girl" OP3... first thing, it is not bling-bling at all, the gold tone is very soft, and yes the white face is a little of a shock to me since this is the very first time I have a phone with a white face, but I'm sure I will get used to it. It does not look like a cheap chinese telephone at all as someone said, which is funny because this IS a cheap chinese phone .
The only thing I do not like is the screen protector that comes with it, it is like wearing a size S t-shirt when you are size L .
Forgot to say that the black line around the screen is a non issue for me.

You're able to buy the phone but not to compare the different product pictures?

No I couldn't as I live in Kashmir. My phone was purchased from Dubai by someone else.

Funny thing is I like the gold on the back, white front is not too flashy until you turn the display on. I'm using the phone on dark mode to hide the borders.
May be it's just OCD? no?

Looks like you found the perfect phone since you can't notice anything wrong with the design.

Online pictures are different from what you get actually.

For me this Soft Gold model is just perfect for it's price. The tiny black border doesn't bother me at all, it's on all white front phones I've seen and used. Otherwise it's also much better than I expected after reading these threads here and on OnePlus forums complaining just about anything. Very positively surprised.
It's all about personal taste and preference I guess!
@brickedvice could you post a photo of the Soft Gold phone with the screen protector that has black top and bottom? I'd love to see how it looks
