I don't know if anyone has seen this or not. But I was browsing the CNN.CN website and found that they finally have the 8525 housing (no front camera).

This is pretty cool!!
Thats quite expensive.
I have bought a housing on Ebay for 12€.
Just type
xda dummy
dopod dummy
htc dummy
etc
into the search.
The dummies seems to be original housings for just a few bucks
but from what I've read on this forum, the material is very cheaply made (since its a dummy) and is not a good replacement for the actual housing.
your opinions any different?
I also Spotted This

i was looking for some explanations about : is it possible to change housing from htc tytn to this housing ?
thanks for your response.
Yes its possible, but if you have the 8525 and you put on the HTC TyTn housing, you will have a front camera hole, with no camera

If you have the TyTn I Believe you want this Housing... This WIll Fit the D-PAd for your Phone
http://cnn.cn/shop/tytn-grey-housing-p-1295.html
TyTn Buttona are Wider Than the 8525 I thought.

hope it is compatible.
If that's what you are Looking to do I believe you have to change the Circuit under the D-Pad as well and I wouldn't know whrre you would even get that From ? I've heard a few people Looking for it but to no success. Hopefully someone does find it. I know alot of People with the TyTn who want the black housing but the Buttons don't match up right.

Ok, thanks for this info~~ so i don't buy this housing.
The "dummy" phones on ebay are CANNOT be used as replacement housings.
The side buttons are fused on (i.e., they are not buttons), the USB port is not punched out, and the back cover is not removable without a hammer and chisel. The SD card hole is also fused shut.
Just going on cosmetics, you'd end up with a much uglier phone than the one you're replacing, as you'd have to break the case just to open it and you'd have to punch out all of the buttons on your own.
As if that were not enough, once opened one will find that the inside doesn't have the proper places to secure the motherboard or battery on the inside of the case.
Provided you made it this far, you'd find upon using it that the keyboard sliding mechanism on the dummy phones is cheap, non-locking, and breakable.

Guys I just came across this gps antenna for 8525. Does this work or have they mislabeled it?
Here is the link

8525 OEM housing
For those of you still looking for 8525 OEM housing, here is the link. You have to fill out the order then they will send you the info. So far this is the only one I have found that carries the OEM housing with all the markers.
http://www.cellphonepartszone.com/Products.asp?shopxpbe_id=102&id=425
whats the price tag on this item from this site?
that is a good question, i would like to know too since i bought a used 8525, if its not too cheap i wouldnt mind getting a whole new housing or have a spare in case things wear out before i decide to get another phone or so heh
but again the housing does not have the buttons/keyboard etc... at least not in the pics
I noticed the same GPS antenna.... does this really work?
I thought the GPS is disabled permanently on the 8525.
Here's the wiki on the GPS:

After using the phone for tow weeks the dark gray part of the case (midle body) start to foil down like a nail polish and the gray paint is slowly going off revealing a black material. Did any one else have same problem ???? Some solutions ??? I know maybe is not such a big deal the device is a great tool and this is a small meter!! but i was thinking maybe is possible to wash off the painture until the black color of the material!!! any one did this ???
Many thanks for every body who participate in here!!! This is a great forum !!! the answer to my all questions is here!!!
I've seen the same on my 9100, but only on the right-hand side (the one with the camera & voice buttons). I haven't bothered to do anything about it, but I do keep the phone in a leather case, so the flaking shouldn't get much worse.
That the black paint comes off the device is a problem with all Wizards it seems....I have it also and I don't really like it.
Does anybody here know if there are Wizard cases for sale ....anywhere ?
Mine has that problem too...well, i helped a bit so..now it doesn't have any paint on it.

Do anyone use this matt finishing battery cover for TD2?
I wanted to change to this matt finishing battery cover but do not know where find this...
Cos firstly orignal shiny finishing cover is a finger print magnet and secondly very easily scatched !
I alraedy have a scatch mark just below the pointed end of the camara....

I here tell that HTC will be releasing alternative battery doors at some point, including a furry one . No dates yet
There already exist 2 different covers, black and brown, but no matt finish (to buy)
at the moment.
http://www.gsm4world.us/htc-touch-diamond-2-p-474_210.html
I hope the matt one comes soon.
Here is a link from Taiwan, seems kinda expensive though:
http://translate.google.com/transla...em/p0289289493&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&history_state0=
My german Diamond2 (MDA Compact V) has a matt finishing battery cover.
With a brushed alu part, around the cam.
.
But looks like it does not fit to the original HTC-device.
Btw. the diamond (MDA Compact IV) had a similar back cover. The T-Mobile-version of the HTC devices always had matt covers instead of the shiny finishined.
I read on Engadget that it'd go for around AU$30 if I remember correctly... or maybe it was more...
I want one aswell... The diamond is a perfect device, But the gloss battery cover... It just isn't my thing.
Although on ebay... They DO sell full housings, Which contains a matte battery cover, costs 60€ though
you may keep the back cover and resell the rest to someone who's housing broke.

It says N.B. The product image is for illustration only, not the actual bettery cover. Doesn't say if it is matt or black plastic though.
Thanks mate, When someone can confirm it's a matt one I'm buying!
Just arrived for the full housing for Topaz with matt cover!
Absolutely the best!
No more fingerprints, scratches or soap effect.
The cover seems rubberized. It is less creaking and more compact.
Definitely needed!
where did you get it, i want one
http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=120407614237\
The matt cover is arrived with the metal front and a set of screwdrivers and plectrum to open the phone.
To have as insurance in case of crash!

Ten days: very fast considering the distance!
Hi guys,
Dust has been collecting in my Blackstone's 3.5mm port and I don't really use the port. So I've been wondering if there's some sort of rubber piece that I could buy to fill the whole up to prevent more dust from accumulating?
I've found this post but that turned up dead links on Ebay. However, other searches have led me to i-Close but it's not in English and I'm not sure if they even ship internationally.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.
Dug around a bit and found these, a bit expensive though !!

Steeve,
Thank you so much, this is exactly what Im looking for. But the problem is...Im not in the UK.
Cheers.
I personally like having a rubber cover for it, and if I wanted to block up the port I'd put a small piece of black paper/card over the hole. If you're able to divert sound away from using the headphone socket, you could maybe put a jack in and cut it right down so it doesn't stick out = you'd have a radio antenna.
Hi guys,
I managed to purchase the ebay link mentioned above. I'll report back to you guys how it fares once I've received it.
Cheers.
hi...all!!
any1 managed to find a good/stylish 3.5mm dust cover??? not many can be found on ebay or online...sigh!!!

Hi guys,
I've received the items and I would have to say that this is PERFECT (for me). It is even cute in the sense that the stub makes it look like a little ol' antenna.
Here are the pictures as promised.
Cheers.
thanks for the pics, Wolf. but seems a little big for my taste, doesn't it come off when u slid the phone in your pocket or when u take it out?

Insane,
You're welcome. It really isn't that big in my opinion. And no, until today, it has not slipped, not even once. It's really sturdy.

Hello everyone.
Just wondering, has anyone ever come across an all-metal housing for our beloved G1? Could you imagine how much cooler it would be, in both heat and style, if there was an aluminum housing..?
I looked all over eBay, unfortunately found nothing..
Perhaps someone on these awesome forums would have some info?
Please do let me know your thoughts on it as well..thanks!
youd be better off making one yourself or asking a friend who knows how to do metal work do it for you. just remove the plastic housing and have alll the dimensions measured and use the measurments to make a new one
maybe he meant the case of aluminum metal !!
can be found at http://www.boxwave.com/htc-dream-cases-and-covers/htc-dream-armor-case/bwpdd/pf-tgvt/ and at http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=13172
