full faceplates/covers for s5830 - Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories

Im living in australia, and ive been searching on Ebay for a white faceplate to replace my black one. They have them but they are from Hong Kong and you need Paypay, which i dont have. BASICALLY.. the question im asking is, Does anyone know of a place where i can get a white one.. OR maybe even something a bit better? Seen so many good faceplate replacements in so many Variations for iphones.. Glow in the Dark, Leather, All sorts of Metals, Mirrors.. but NOTHING can be found for my poor s5830..
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED

yeah i know the one your talking about i got the same thing.. that is just a Battery Cover What i am after is a replacement for the Front, and side panels and also the back battery cover. They are called " Faceplates, Or Housings "
You have to disassemble the phone using specific tools and a certain method of disconnecting plugs and stuff to get it done, but you take the phone down to the base parts.. then assemble it together in a new housing
Cost roughly between $30 - $60 depending on where you get them from, you need Paypal to purchase them over ebay, which i dont have.. !

I have changed a screen, and my phone work perfectly.

That would be cool, let me know if you come across this

try the samsung shop.. some say they do sell orig.white faceplate for our ace.

Any link? From where did you heard that they might sell white parts?

Also found a lot of white digitizers in white but from hongkong and as you've said. you don't have paypal...
This one is from a seller in Australia..

I actually got a white back cover with my ace.....I hate how it looks though....too Iphone-ish

I am probably buying a replacement for the middle thats black, this one is already wearing out and black looks better

How hard is it to change the Xperia housing?

Hi,
I'm asking for some guidance from the people who have actually changed their housing on the Xperia.
I bought a silver one with some cracks, and some marks on the housing. However, €60 for a brand new black housing would be a good deal for me, as long as I would manage to replace it succesfully.
I changed the housing on my SE P1i from the silver one to a black one before, and already found that quite hard, and now that I've seen the instruction video and read the service manual on how to change the housing, I'm a bit hesitant about replacing it, in the fear that I would break my new €200 smartphone.
So, have any of you done this, how hard was it, and how much experience did you already have dis- and reassembling phones?
Also: Did any of you manage to break anything in the process?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my bad English,
Ed Banger

I think you can get complete housing for approx $100 if you shop around. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....Category=20345&_trkparms=algo=LVI&its=I&otn=1
Hi I also would like to change my housing because of some cracks, this is my first time. so will it be really difficult for a newbie?
also, where to buy to get the cheapest yet legit?
I found this cnn.cn is it safe everyone? it currently offers 79.99 USD for the full housing. is that the market price? thanks guys.
I changed a lot of phone houses and the one of xperia is easyer than nokia ones. if you follow the instructial movie on youtube you will not have any problem there are some dificult places.
here read this thread its posted by Crank1 its his experiance with changing the housing. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550258
80 Dollar is the market price i think the cheaper ones are used or not originaly SE housing.
goog luck with changin the housing.
thanks for the reply, now its quite a dilemma which one I should buy, the used one is 43AUD while the new one is almost 100AUD. Is the new one really worth it? The used one description says its fascia while the 100AUD is OEM. any suggestion would be great. thanks
much harder than it looks

Yhea i beat yha
I did buy a new housing for 80$ and i did get buy a hard case for preventing it getting scratches.
so what did you do, you gonna give it a try?
80$ for housing, it must be gold housing to be charged at the price,
seriously, checkout ebay, amazon they offer lots cheaper.
i would pay $20 for housing only
Ive done a few already, not too hard if you know what you doing and be careful.
I have changed the housing of my Xperia partly. Read the story here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4403612&postcount=14
It's quite easy if the housing fits well, the cheap housing does not fit very well....
hey guys... i dont really want to change my housing cause its more or less 100%...
HOWEVER i have a slight problem with the screen not being tight (mate has the black one and apparently they dont have the problem - and i can feel his one doesnt move a mm when its extended... whereas mine has a slight give)
whats the best method to tighten it?
(will it be obvious when i pry it apart?)

Replacement G1 / Dream Cover

I have looked far and wide for a replacement cover for the G1 / Dream. It is fairly easy to find replacement battery covers, however finding the front cover replacements is another story.
To specify, I am referring to the plastic surrounding the LCD, the plastic surrounding the Menu, Home, Trackball, Back and End Buttons AND the battery cover ideally.
To confirm, this photo points to the plastic I am referring to and wish to replace. - http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/phot...authkey=Gv1sRgCN_V3MeRuKPz5AE&feat=directlink
If ANYONE can guide toward a location where I can purchase these replacement parts, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
Again, I have looked and looked and found nowhere where I can purchase them together or separately.
Thanks in advance.

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.

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

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...

Colored Battery Covers

Anyone have any shots of their Incredible with the white battery cover on and the red one? Im contemplating getting one or the other and then a battery from Amazon. Just cant decide and I cant picture either one on the phone. If you can Id like to see front, sides, and back shots.
I don't have photos readily available of mine, however, I have an android green, white and red w/ carbon fiber battery cover. It really is a toss up between the red and white. They look great!

I would have to agree with you.

I did this for my fiance. Not the video, but I copied the idea. Griffin Reveal case with White back cover, makes for a nicer transition in colors rather than black and white split right down the center. Looks really nice. The rubber sides are stiff enough so the phone doesn't slide out and the frosty back keeps the case looking nice even if you get scratches on it.
Start at 2:54 if you want to skip to the phone in case. Without the case the red back looks better IMO.

I'm going to have my paint department match the color and have them spray it at work then i will put it all together. I'm still waiting on them to ship it though.
i will post pics when i get ready to do it all.

after emailing them they send me a tracking number. should have it today or tomorrow.
Post pics of the thing when it's done.
I am highly interested...
The carbon fiber i bought was a pre cut piece i found on ebay. Each piece peeled off a sheet and had adhesive to apply to the battery cover. I put it on a red cover.

I purchased the metallic red battery cover which was non-oem and generally good quality. It wasn't perfect, but it was much better than most non oem products I've tried.
However my one complaint about it is that it makes the phone more slippery. It makes it harder to keep in your hand. Otherwise it looks and works great.

I looked at them, but you have to remove one of the screws on the front housing that has a void sticker on it. As soon as you remove that your warranty is over.

That is what a needle (removal) and a drop of glue (re-applying) is for.
