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.

HEy..dude!
Don think my ENGLISH is tat POOR! Think u r the 1 who don understand my last statement...looking for stylish/better dust cover!
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.
Cheers.

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.

Brown housing on Ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/T-Mobile-G1-G...14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
black as well if you search, just bought a brown meself! woop.
how are u planning to take it apart?
i wanna get the white housing when it comes out.. but i;m afraid to take it apart
White G1 Housing, Attempt
I have just purchased a white g1 Housing set for $50, don't call me retarded, money wasn't really an issue for me and I hate the bronze color. Anyway, has anyone actually attempted this and successfully got it functioning afterwards? Any quick replies would be awesome, ty!
do a search for the service manual. Its floating around out there. This gives a step by step on how to take apart and put back together the dream
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468673
Let me know how this goes. Curious as to the difficulty level.
What condition is your bronze casing in? lol I have a black, but prefer the bronze.
It's in perfect condition, I only got the phone like 2 weeks ago. No scratches or scuffs, I just prefer a different color. I'm going to give this thing a go lol, unless you're talking about a trade or something.
as long as you follow the service manual perfectly (it's pretty in-depth) then you should have no problems. doesn't look too hard to take apart, just ****ing time consuming
wanna link me to the website where you bought this housing?
i wanted white also.

I'm be interested to know how the transformation goes. I'm not really interested in changin my blakc to any other color, but I'd love to get Telefonica's modded chin installed on my phone http://htcsource.com/index.php/Android/Telefonica-to-launch-HTC-Dream-with-a-facelift.html

Yeah, I'd like to try doing that once it comes out, too!
Any updates with the conversion? Like to know if fitment was exact, etc. Really looking into the modified chin though
Anyone found a replacement housing with memory card cover?
I have dropped my phone and will be eventually looking to replace the housing.
But all the adverts on ebay(uk), none of them seem to list the memory card cover. I could use my original, but I kinda fancy a change to white! ;-)
Anyone know where to get this cover?
Thanks,
Really really sorry to bump this.....
Anyone had any luck finding spare G1 memory card covers?
Little surprised no one else is interested in this issue, especially if they fancy changing their housing (for repair/colour change) in the future.
As far as I can see, none of the sellers on ebay include this cover, so don't lose it or wreck it!
I dont think the G1 has enough of a market to mass produce housings, ebay is prob your best bet. You can try contacting HTC and see if they can give you a lead but other than that I think you'll have to look for someone with a bricked phone.
EDIT: Sorry, forgot u were lookin for mem card cover
@Edit: No problem; glad you noticed before I got round to typing reply!
Like I said, every single ebay listing I have seen does not include it.
Just seems a strange thing to for them to miss out, anyone know a reason?

yah.. no.. you have to send in your phone to them and they paint it or you can get it from them prepainted....
yeah as ya can tell from the torx thread i bought that ebay one planing to change to white as well and its not as simple as i thought when i started i don't think anyone includes one and the main piece the one that the keyboard is attached to has a metal cover that appears to be glued in place and i could not move it to the one i received with the new housing which is why i decided to go with the 2 tone look. http://stryph.googlepages.com/DSCF2807.JPG Also.. the ebay crap is cheaper than Phuk its allready cracked on me a bit WTF? will post more pics l8r just got in from the fight *wtf man wtf??* (Hope hatton recovers completely and suffered no permanent damage)

Wow I kinda dig that two tone look. how hard was it to switch out? Waiting for more pics...
off topic: yeah man I really didn't think hatton would go down so fast and hard. I really thought it would be a better fight than De La Hoya. Hope he's ok tho!
Has anyone replaced the little plastic flap that covers the USB port? Mine has finally broken off.
Is there anywhere to get a replacement online, and is there a resource for disassembly for the g1?
TIA
My device (Touch PRO) doesn't have it at all. I've seen that some devices have it and some don't. I think you can compare it to suspension housing of mountain bikes - some have some don't. It is just a question of dirt management style. While covers avoid the dirt getting in they also keep the trespassed dirt in there which also is not good. I don't think there is a good answer
I dont think he is looking for an opinion, I think he just flat out wants one. I could use one too, mine is broken as well.
As far as replacing, you can carefully insert it using a blunt pointed pin, I used some piano wire that was lying around when I did this to my last G1. Just "push" the ball into the housing. Alternately, you can use the plastic pry tools to lift that area, but it is a lot more work.

I'm not super concerned about dirt, and actually prefer not having it, but if i ever want to sell the device it would be nice to have it intact.

Exactly what I'm thinking! Mine broke recently and I actually like my phone without it better. However, as soon as my contract expires, I will want to sell my phone and get N1, so I think having all parts in place would be helpful, but I can't find it anywhere

Looking forward to it.
I'm in the UK and they ship from the US, so it might take a while. I've ordered it on 15th and got a shipping confirmation the next day, so hopefully some time next week I'll have them.
OK, got them... and I think it's a bit of a waste of money. They're too small and also when you need to for example plug-in the headphones, you have to figure out where to put those flaps not to loose them.
Anyway, you decide:
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 !!

Have you stolen a hair clip from your women? And broke it? I can hear her shouting at you even here, mate. Just kidding.
I have to say this is a genius idea!! Although I'd too worried for it to get scratched...
Good idea, cheap, functional and easy to put in a pocket (or anywhere)
