Lost my battery cover already... - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

First time I've ever lost something like this. I've looked everywhere, and I cannot find it. Does anyone know where I can pick one of these up?

Call HTC for a new one. They're pretty easy going on sendingbout batt covers and other moving parts. Just tell them that a clip on it or something on it broke. Or just say it broke off and wont reattach correctly. They'll mail one out for free likely.

just call HTC. thats what ive done in the past for my inspire. i used to lose the battery cover all the time.

I called for a replacement sim cover on my Inspire and they sent it no problem, free shipping and all. I do believe I remember the HTC rep saying they only do 1 free replacement per phone so I wouldn't get in the habit of losing it.

The HTC rep I talked to never said only one replacement, but always function on the side of caution. Stop losing your stuffs

+1. i have the white speck case as well and i love the thing.

I had a Desire for 2 years and never lost a cover. I've had my Vivid for 2 weeks and the cover has come off by itself once already. I am ordering a cover for this thing. Probably the Otter cover.

Lol couldn't stop laughing after seeing this one, lost the entire back of the phone hehe.
Anyways, that's pretty cool to learn that htc replaces them. Good to know.

Bought a chinese unbranded silicon case at Ebay for about 3$. Looking good, quality is OK and is very usable, like theres no case at all. I can pick my phone with 1 hand, answer a call or send a text message and all this with 1 hand. It doesn't protect the screen, but I think thats no problem, Im using screenguard (film). Really great protection for the phone.. I already dropped it few times but no signs of any damage, thx to the case
Using IncS for 6 months already and it looks like new unused phone, just from the store.

Thats cool! But I still think that case-mate is the best. They made the tank for iphone. You should see it at youtube.

Self screen replacement

I just dropped my phone. Smashed the screen. I'm wondering how many people have attempted to get the screen fixed for how much. Or if I should do it myself.
Such a bummer. Still owe 200$ on it to.

I replaced my digitizer screen. It wasn't that complicated but it does take time.
I recommend parts4repair.com they sell parts for all brands of smart/superphones out there right now. I broke the screen on my Incredible S, well the digitizer. Got a new one for $20 CAD. replaced it myself (did take a month to ship) and was good to go. Parts were great,got a little tool kit with all the wee torx bits. Check it out!
Ii already voided warranty with s-off
There's a guy in my city that will replace digitizer for 90 can or 130 if LCD is cracked also.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
He says it will take 1-3 business days. I assume cuz he has to get the part
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
I work at a repairshop and I have done several digitizer replacements on the VIVID, its a little tricky since you will have to lift up the upper part of the LCD, or remove the LCD entirely. Doing so increases the chance of you breaking the LCD and then you will have to replace both screens. If you dont have a good heat gun and the right tools, you should take it to someone with experience.
I watched a tear down. While a probably could do it. I think your right. I'll just pay to get it fixed.

T fallen of my HTC

I was looking at the back of my device the other day and noticed that the T was missing from my HTC logo.
Any one else having this isssue.
I think I might send it back to HTC as I am really not happy with the build quality of the device

I'd love to be the sales assistant who you brought it back to.
I'd laugh so hard at you that I'd mess my pants. Then I'd make sure the door slammed on your backside on the way out.
What are you talking about. The overall build quality of the HTC one was appalling.
The silver bezels along the bottom have started to come of. The white strip is coming apart from the body.
So overall I would say that it needs to be replaced. Lets put it like this if some one came in to the store with factory problems like that when I'm doing repairs I would replaceit straight away.

And no offence but your reply is just ridiculous. I asked if anyone else was having an issue with it. Not what you would do if your are the sales person.

Just got my One back from repair.

So I just got my phone back from repair for a broken screen. The repair totaled 189.99. I was however quite surprised that they seemed to replace the entire outer body of the phone. The back was scratched and the speaker bezels had a few nicks in them. All was replaced and my phone now actually has the magical zero gap shiz they talk about. I know its still my phone cause the serial is the same and it came back with ViperRom still on it. Just wanted to share my experience.

Just wonder if they put a new shell on it because they messed it up taking the old one off? Good deal though, you got your screen fixed and new shell.

I sent my phone to Houston, TX and it came back with scratches on the back and a bad power button. The gap was worsened.
Still my phone, probably a new back though.

Case, or no case?

Hey everyone. Just wanted some opinions on whether your going to put a case on this device or not? I am usually a case guy, but I think I'm going to find it hard to cover up such a gorgeous phone!! Also, do u use screen protectors on this device? Haven't used a protector for the last few phones I've had, GS4, LGG2.

I don't like to use any cause I love to feel the nice aluminium body and awesome clarity of screen

Guess our hands just aren't as greasy because mine is not slippery at all on the gunmetal finish =)
I'm getting a clear TPU case with no frost.

I am having the same problem, too slippery for me to feel comfortable without a case. I also have big hands, so it is a little small for me to hold comfortably without a case. I also find I really miss the kickstand that my previous two phones had, so I am thinking about getting one of the cases that include a kickstand.
I always advocate playing safe cell phone, so I wrap it up. However, with my M7, I will take it out of the case while at work because our floors are carpeted.
One thing though: I'm waiting for the silver M8 to come out on Sprint before upgrading because self-proclaimed "careful" people in the unlocked One forum are reporting scratches on the gold and gray versions. The stock silver One has no coating to scratch.

I don't care about the scratch potential. I'll have a case on it anyway. I would just rather have the silver variant than the gold or gray.

Oh, I'm sure you'll be fine then. I guess I'm just scared about going bareback -- even if it's just occasionally -- with anything other than silver. Apparently, just resting the non-silver models on a desk is leaving marks.

I picked up the dot view case. Loving it so far. Gives decent protection too.

For the first time since my HTC Hero (which I ended up getting Ghost Armor on), I'm going without a case.
Didn't HTC say they would replace a broken screen for free within the first 6 months too?
I never had a case on my M7, but I went through 4 of them for different malfuctions, and each one wound up having a dented corner or scratched up grill. So considering this one is even heavier, I know the damage will be worse.
