Where can I find FULL Legend housing ?

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.

Found this:

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.
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App

Look for htcrepairparts.com, be advised it's quite expensive though...

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

dbrands skin

My dbrands.com skin came today for my OP3. It looks and feels great. They are now shipping if you want one. The installation is easy just follow the video on their website. Mine is yellow top and bottom with blue carbon back. Mahogany front.

lol omg how hilarious, i was just getting ready to create my own thread of this, i got mine in today too, i'll just share mine on ur post too
i like urs, great job on applying urs, the top and bottoms was a pain in the a... for me, but the easiest skin i have ever applied, no bubbles or anything, i don't think it will last long but at least they gave me 2 of them.
it does feel really nice and great quality (no cheap), no longer keeps slipping either
Top/Bottom/Logo - Red
Back/Camera - Matte Black

Ha ha good timing then. Yours looks nice too. I agree that it's an easy to apply skin. The tops and bottom was a pain. The key I found is use a little more heat on the tabs. My top doesn't look as good as the bottom. With the extras I'll just replace it if it bugs me too much.

Are you able to use your case with the skin?
All designs are looking awesome!

How well do these skins typically hold up in respect to edges peeling up, etc. i do not like using cases but would need a skin on an aluminum bodied phone.
My main concern would be the edges peeling back up due to use and pulling out of pocket all the time, or even just moving around in the pocket.
I have used another type of skin before and sometimes it does ok but other times it only lasts a day. Granted the skin i used did not fully wrap around to the front, more for back protection

How is the difference in texture between the Colour series and the Matte Black?
And anyone here know how the texture of the Concrete is?

Nope. Just like blue and yellow. Wish the blue was a hair darker to match Michigan colors and my car.

So far the only issue or disappointment I have is with the front. It picks up the dust and hairs from my pocket and did get the side edge of the front screen to shift some. The back I have no complaints. No shifting, peeling, or residue collecting hairs like the front.
For longevity someone who's had these skins on longer will need to chime in. This is my first experience.

Looks awesome guys!

sorry, the matte black

Am loving the look of these will have to see if I want to use one instead of my case to take away some of the bulk

I've got a really good set up coming in the post

Here's a couple different variations of Dbrand skins I have done for the OnePlus 3. I am about to do black carbon w/ blue carbon accents. They fit really well and add a lot of protection and extra grip. I am very happy with it.

Do the matte black and the color series have the same texture?

Luphie Tempered Glass and Metal Galaxy Note 8 Bumper Case

Here's a very nice metal bumpercase I've bought at AliExpress. It looks outstanding, offers a decent protection level and the manucaturing quality is on a very high level. Signal quality is perfect like the manufacturer promises. The case is available in serveral color, black, gold, blue, etc. It is offered for a very reasonable price around 15€.
@Mr.Ash.Man
Especially for you. Added two pictures showing my device with one of your custom AOD backgrounds.

Do you have pics of your phone in the case rather than marketing images?
just wanna make sure your not advertising for them
The last time i used a Luphie case (similar to this) was on my Note 4 and it was terrible.
Looked great on my note 4!
but
1. effected signal badly
2. poor build quality (the lock mechanism was loose and only got looser as time went on)
3. the back glass cracked extremely easily, i didnt even drop it one day i took it out my pocket and it was cracked.
once it cracked it destroyed the only thing it had going for it (the looks) was dissapointed!
if they have fixed all these issues then it looks pretty nice

And well, i've not posted a link to any special seller.

I had started my reply before you had posted the pictures. When the phone is face down, does it sit on the phones screen or does the bumper case have a lip?
Thanks for adding those pics.

It has a lip, something like 0.5 mm. Maybe a little less.

The Ebay seller ships from china too, i think.

How tight fit is this bumper and back glass? I had on the patchworks level ITG case on mine, dropped from a 3ft bathroom sink, landed in the corner and cracked the screen even with the tempered glass on! I could not use the phone for a week until I realized the display was separated from the gorilla glass panel so I pried it up so it can "glue" back. Thank god I got Square trade warranty.
I have yet to find a good case to protect it since. My guess was the more tight fit the case, there is less room for shock absorption so it goes straight to the phone itself.

Well the phone is not moving around within the case. But the inside of the aluminium frame and the metal frame of the tempered glass back are covered with a foam material. That's necessary to not scratch our Note 8 for sure and it should prevent the phone from being broken if it drops. Anyway this is not a hardcore drop survivor case like the UAG cases are, i think. I've already searched for a drop test, but wirhout success. There are some aluframe test, but not for one of these.
If the community donates me another Note 8 i'll try that for you guys for sure
The Mi Mix i have owned was covered by a Luphie metal bumper having the same material inside. It dropped once out of the carmount between seat and middle console onto the metal mount of the Recaros. Just a tiny mark on the metal frame, but nothing happened to the phone! The corner it dropped onto, perfect condition. Remember, the Mix is ceramic! These frames definitly offer a decent protection. It's for sure a high quality aluminium.

As you can see on the pictures of my phone (last two attached pictures), yes. The rebranded one Zizo offers has a Zizo Text and the bottom text. The top one is missing if i remember right. Well, if you don't like the writing, don't buy this case.

My mother droptested it for me in the meantime. From the wireless charger, around 75cm height, onto a wood floor. Well, everything fine, no scratches, simply zero damage.

Nice case! Just cancelled mine after heaeing feedbacks on the GPS glitch when used with this case on. I wonder if you've experienced that? Especially, when inside the car?

White ceramic unibody

I purchased a black Mix 2 on release and have been liking it so much since that I ordered the white ceramic version, mainly because I am a sucker for premium materials. Well today, it finally arrived!
Initial impressions are that the build is indeed quite special and the lack of seam between the back and the frame makes it so smooth. The finish has an almost translucent look to it. But boy, is it slippery! To put a case on it would be criminal so going to have to handle it carefully.
Have not used it much yet but the 8GB does feel even more zippy - maybe it's a bit imagined but it does seem to open and switch between apps faster.
For me, the size and weight of this phone is perfect.
My pics don't really do it justice!

Nice!!!!

I bet that one is really a ***** to find a case for since it's slightly different dimensions from the regular one.

Yeah good point - though it does come with a white case. Looks like it would get dirty pretty quickly however.
This one is going naked!

Looks amazing. I couldn't imagine how slippery that thing can be, but you're right, you can't put it in a case. Maybe go with a clear skin for added grip? Mobile Outfitters sells skins for the Mix 2. I know the dimensions aren't the same, but it still might work.

I had the first mix... and it was a nightmare to get a decent case for it. The Mix 2 is better...but not by a ton. I originally wanted to get the full ceramic version but I doubt there will be any aftermarket cases at all.. a niche within a niche.

Are y going to use some screen protector or protective film for the back?

No..it feels too nice. My black one is still pristine so I am confident in the quality of Xiaomi's ceramics.

I haven't used screen protectors on phones for a while now. I find the glass on recent phones just doesn't scratch anymore.

I am curious where one can buy this full ceramic version.

I wish... I don't remember the last phone screen I scratched and I never use screen protectors. Probably 20 phones a year I go through... I've had this mix 2 for less than a week and I already have some scratches just from it going in my pocket. Haven't dropped it or anything. They aren't super noticeable but annoying.

iPhone 11/XS Pro MAX screen protector?

I'm in need of a new screen protector for my Pocophone F1, but almost everything I find on Amazon here in Mexico looks pretty bad.
I bought a set of Ringke ones back in the day and they were fine, but I already went through 2 of them and I can't find the last one, however they aren't available for purchase anymore.
I read in a couple of places that iPhone 11/XS Pro MAX (what a mouthful) protectors work fine, but I thought it would be a good idea to ask around here if anyone has tried it and how it went.
I hope you guys can help me gain some insight, thanks!

But is that because you bought the kind that has a shaded earpiece/camera area or is it something else?

currently using 11 pro max tempered glass, its working perfectly, speaker grill and notification LED is aligned well enough.
