I just stumbled onto this site that has a lot of evo parts. I know people were looking for a place to buy the back cover.

Fantastic find! I know I've been hunting for a place to buy a new back cover because of how quickly mine got scuffed up.

It does look legitimate. Have you been able to figure out how to remove the bottom cover on the back? Ideally, I'd love to know that I can replace that at any time as well.

The bottom piece will snap off. It just has a sticky tape wich makes you think you're about to break something but you won't. Took my phone apart after jumping in the pool with it last week.
via eVo.
There is a video link from this company somewhere in these forums that shows them totally dismantling this phone.

Awesome find... I don't have a problem so much with fingerprints on the back cover, but how easily it gets scuffed up!

Has anyone noticed that the shiny top back cover is as much as the battery?
It's like maintenance for a Ferrari or a Lambo. Prepare to part with some serious coin, peeps.

The shiny back cover has some stuff on the underside that nfc needs to work properly I bet that bumps the price up a little too.

Not everyone needs a kickstand. So for those who want one then go ahead and buy this "accessory". The End.

They need to make it as a backside cover replacement rather than a wrapper case. You'd think thicker battery replacement would include a kickstand with back cover replacement.
nice topic where did you find these pics at? never seen them before.

Yea, let's not give them more ram, more memory, dual cores, latest version of android, latest (unreleased) version of sense, 3d cameras, bigger battery (both are why there is no kickstand), better screen, better resolution, or anything else new. Let's just give them a kickstand instead.

Thanks for the info. Cant wait for this!!
Is that a belt clip case?
I use, my kickstand on my evo a lot. Ill be buying this when I get my e3d.
I don't understand why people are complaining. If you don't like it don't buy it, or get a case without a kickstand godamn.

Looks gorgeous!
I'm more for the original color but this looks sweet. With the original feel of the battery door, the white gives it a nice touch. But If its anything like the old white EVO, it looks sh!tty after having it for a while.

Two things would need to be in place for me to get this over my current black one.

The employees at the Sprint store where I got my Otter Box Commuter were tossing their Evo 3d's around in the store to show me how good the case was. Sold me on the spot. They were bouncing them off the walls and the hard carpet floors. Crazy. Not as crazy as the op though. That is really crazy.
Does sprint insurance cover housing replacement? Is there any way I can get it done through them even if I need to pay just a little bit? My housing is all kinds of.scraped to hell and.back and I was actually kind of hoping to get the white housing put on if possible
You should be able to buy one online for less than your insurance deductible. Insurance doesn't cover normal wear and tear (strictly speaking).
Another member just asked this. He dropped his phone and bent the housing. He the Sprint store he took it to wouldn't cover cosmetic damage. :-\
You can do this for way less by yourself than any insurance claim would cost, and they don't cover it anyway.

I completely agree! I was just posting a cheaper alternative in case you were planning to pay for a new one

good luck, you might be able to get it exchanged since you haven't had it 2 weeks. Most likely they'll throw out the "it doesn't effect the performance of the device" excuse.
Nevermind the image didn't load for me before. Well that sucks man. Best of luck replacing it. Going to take extra special care now when handling the s pens.
Day 2 of owning my device, I somehow already chipped a very very small part of my screen. No idea how either
I have the same problem I have the vzw note 2 and the paint is chipping on the silver painted part of the pen but mine is chipping from pulling out the s pen its in the little crevis part ill take pic now ... Please advice me on if you were able to get Samsung or Verizon to replace orv what you did

My Spen has been chipped since after a week. The phone was built crappy IMO. Im careful with my stuff and my screen is scratched and there are a couple chips around the phone.

Im in the same boat I here ya! Samsung makes great products but cut cost on cheaper meterials I too have a small scratch on my screen and I was babying the crap out of it when I was cleaning with a micro fiber cloth my last 4 phones over the past 2 years had no screen protectors and rarely did I get a scratch and I was much rougher knowing in advance from other threads that the note 2 was using cheaper quality material to cut costs ... My question is why they're making billions not millions but billions ... It pisses me off ...I want a replacement pen I know the scratch on the screen is so small that a screen protector will hide it

The plastic for the SPen is rather soft. So yes it is an issue, but it doesn't affect performance at all, and the phone itself doesn't have the problem.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
I didn't notice it until I read this thread. Slight chipping here as well.
Wow guys. Really? You guys are whining over some microscopic paint chip? Be glad that's the extent of your problems with this phone. Every phone is going to have its problems. Paint will naturally come off if suffers regular abrasion, either from sliding in and out of the phone or from us handling it. I'm just glad this phone doesn't have real problems like a poor radio or battery over heat.
