Colored Battery Covers

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!

Where did you get the carbon fiber? Id love to have one of those. I cant decide between white and red. Im hoping images will change my mind.

I made a video review for the white one a while back.

No way you found a front piece! I looked for ages! D:

I, too, am wondering where you got the carbon fiber back for it. I think it would look sweet

Ordered the white one tonight.

i just cant picture a half white, half black phone looking good.. however, the thought of an all white incredible gets me all hot and bothered.

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...

Black - White hybrid

Hi fellas..
Now that back covers have slightly reduced prices on Ebay, I decided to take the plunge.
Ordered a white back cover for my black G2 and here are the pics.
I think it looks pretty neat and fingerprint visibility on the white one isn't that high.
Got the cover from here:
http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/28122764...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

That looks pretty nice. Was it hard to pry the back cover off?

WOAH. that's cool!
But why didn't you just get the quick window case in white and pry the window off? I have a white G2 and just bought a white and black QW case for when I get bored of the colour.

Well, initially it was difficult. But once ya got the first latch out (with a click), ya just gotta apply enough force for all the latches. An important point to note is that you'll have to use a plastic opening tool, or anything plastic, and relatively sharp. Any other material may damage your device.
Got my guidance from:

Well, this might sound crazy, but nothing beats having a complete naked device in terms of feel in the hand. I just wanted it to be small.. real small. And yea.. I've used the slimArmor for a week.. and then the Korean Nekeda case for much longer, but eventually ended up naked
I'll get a QW case when I pass this phone to my wife in April/May.

Does the case just snap back into place, or do you have to use some kind of glue to keep it in place? Really tempted to get a white back.. Do you think if I were to sell it later I'd be able to put the black one on again and you wouldn't be able to tell it was ever taken off?

It snaps right back on. There is no adhesive used at all.
Yes, I think you removed the back without damaging it, shouldn't be a problem at all.

Nice!

Great. But what is that ob pic nr.2 back of the case. Do you get everything (all the connector) in the case,
Is it possible to add a wireless charger into it. (D802 international.)

Sorry, don''t get you on your first question.
Yes, all the antennas (black portions) are intact, together with the centre NFC piece. I doubt you can add wireless charger inside as there are no pins for you to connect to and also space restrictions.

Cracks in Note 4 Frame

Hi,
I was just inserting a sd card when I discovered some cracks at the bottom of the frame.
Does everybody has this?
See pics:

Also could anybody tell me it is normal that the tooth in the backcover in the red circle is missing, compared to the thoots in the green circles?
Thnx

Doesn't seem like cracks. Looks like fusing of plastic and aluminum was not perfect, but nothing to worry about.

Just checked mine. It looks almost exactly like yours
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app

For the cracks at the bottom, mine as same as yours and it looks like the draw lines.
HOWEVER, for yours second picture about the tooth (red circle). Yes you are missing 3 right there

mine is also like yours and the others, i think i normal because everybody have it

Well.. called my Local Phone shop and will receive a new back cover. But the cracks.. it should not crack and I think it is a HUGE design flaw.. even more so when more note 4's have the same cracks. A 780+ euro should not crack! Dont get me wrong.. I love the note 4.. And maby there is a little samsung fan boy with in me, but this, I just can not accept this.

I wouldn't call that a crack, it's at the point where metal frame is molded onto plastic chassis, I'd say it's expected to split due to the heat and etc.

Everyone has that on the bottom I think it's normal

Again, you do know that, that plastic and the metal frame are one piece? They don't come apart. In the process of fusing plastic to the aluminum, there are some tolerances, especially considering that it is under the cover.
When you say crack, one assumes, it developed after the purchase. I would probably assume you bought it like that.
And no, all back covers are supposed to be like that.
Just return your phone please. Thanks.

So what? You probably broke it by removing it and putting it back on again. Just buy another back cover, they're cheap.

The back cover wasnt the problem.. was just checkin.. and i didnt broke.. sure about that.. the tooth did not break off.. its a molding issue.. but again.. that is solved and wasnt that big off an issue.. The cracks in t phone it self was the issue. But thnx

I understand what you say but everybody has it so I think it's normal

Think the cracks are there on purpose. I think I read somewhere that its for the antenna.

Dude. You're just bumping thread to try to stay relevant. It is normal, it is hidden under cover, and has no bearing on the look and function of the phone. Does not get worse. Give it a rest. Replace your freakin phone already. Sell it. Throw it in a garbage.
Btw if you started disassembling body of most of the products, I bet you'll find imperfections that are not detrimental and are generally not visible until disassembled.

Less than a month and beginning to fray at edges. As much as I dont want to case this thing I think it's time. Anyone else?

Thinking the same thing. Hoping Diztronic comes through with a BN compatible version soon.

You could probably stop it with a little heat from a lighter or something. Mine has a small melt mark similar to a soldering iron tip burn. I wouldn't have noticed it if I didn't look at it with a magnifying glass.
EDIT: The melt mark on mine is the rear camera mic hole.

Why I returned my BN Turbo.
Basically the nylon became loose from the back so it wasnt sticking to the bottom part of the phone where the droid logo is. So some kind of "bubble" formed. I returned it for the smooth back version. Its a shame because it really looks cool.

I would like someones opinion on this phone. Its works and everything just separated a little from housing. Is there anything i could do? Maybe just a case to cover the back? The screen just has couple stratches other than that phone is fine. Here is a pic. Im getting this for real cheap. Charging port is fine too

I think you can get a a new back replacement - couple that with a skin, and it might hold together. tough to tell really from that pic though.

But a case could hold it together too? Maybe even electrical tape around the side of the charging port going up the right side of the phone?

. I was told just now from the seller over time i could get dead spots. The back is separating its not separated. The digitizer is part of the glass. Was told could get develop dead spots over time. Anyone else go through this or might have a solution to keep it all intact? Its functional the way it is i heard

Honestly, I wouldn't accept it if it was badly damaged, even for free. You can get very good phones for ~$100. Check swappa or eBay.
