A great tool that I don't see a lot of people use is the magnetic placemat. If you're unfamiliar with what this is, it's a magnetic placemat. Uh... I guess that's pretty self explanatory. You can pick one up for only $20 from ifixit and you'll never have to worry about screws going missing again.
I've used one of these in the past and it really does make disassembly much easier. You don't realize how much time you spend fumbling around with screws until you use one of these.

since the plastic is coming out... I would like to buy a new part, do you know here i can find it??
Best regards.
if i understand you right, you mean that the plastic protection is peeling...
just buy a screen protector that comes with a protection part for this area.
just like this one on ebay - http://cgi.ebay.com/3x-LCD-Screen-Protector-FOR-HTC-Touch-Diamond-P3700-NEW_W0QQitemZ320492259683QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item4a9ed3c963
I've found this, but i really don't understand if i can make it on my own...

Made my own car mount.

well, i got the body glove case that comes with the kickstand. put the little round thing on the back of the case that used for the kickstand, but dont use the kick stand. go get a cb radio mic mount. the one i have is small and fits pretty much anywhere in my truck. i don't have any pictures of it right now but i'll get some tomorrow if anyone wants to see it.

Good idea. Sugru is awesome stuff.
Damn, thats ugly.
Just thought about buying a lot of sugru to make a desktop dock/stand. make the bottom part first and then make a mold of the phone for the top. might try it.

Now just spray some platiDip on that sugru and give it that rubber/matte feel and look

I have a real similar item I used to use on my iPhone, the Streak is too heavy and it gets wobbly. The way the handle looks bent on the photo of this one makes it look like it might have similar issues.
Need something like a rear mirror hanger with a slide-in that contain the streak on both sides and the bottom

What are these little speakers called?

Trying to find some surplus ones for use in small laptops. These are Motorola phones.

I thought the image went in the first post but this is a valid link to it on Imgur.
I think the metal bar is the speaker cone and it's mounted on something rubber/plastic that flexes. There could be a voice coil type thing in there or it could be piezo- electric like those annoying little beepers.
Those look like blocked. Are you sure are not fake?
I don't think so. Most cell phones seem to have them, some have tiny holes in them.
I suppose I could try a stethoscope on them, or make something like it with a microphone and headphones. By a weird fluke I have a real medical stethoscope in the other room. Mechanics use them too.
