Hi
I am going to buy one of the expensive housings because it will most likely be genuine.
I would however appreciate if any of you can list your experience with any of these shops or parts. All these shops/sellers are in HK or mainland China and ship internationally.

The other pictures.
Sorry, but do you have URL on where I may order these shells? I only really need the back part where the camera is. My used X1 came with a hazy camera plastic cover and I was trying to clean it with a bit of force when it cracked
Hi,
Which did you go for in the end and where from?
Thank you

I bought this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280509675579&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
It looks perfect. The keyboard had some Chinese characters printed next to the English, so I asked them to send me an English only one but it hasn't arrived yet.
Apart from that I'm also waiting for a new flex cable assembly from another store before I will reassemble the phone. I'll post picture then.
I wished there was a full housing on eBay that sold every single outside part.
That one doesn't include any side buttons.
The main front black button.
The two rear rubber screw covers.
i want to buy, but idk how to change it myself. are there any references or nice guides out there?

I was looking into a new silver housing recently on eBay due to my battery cover losing color... yes the black X1... while it looks nice, the battery cover is just bad at keeping its beauty even if you take good care of it. Is it complicated to change the housing?
Update...
So I finally recieved my housing yesterday, and the first thing I noticed was the two rear 'rubber-feet' were not included. WHEN IT SHOWED IN THE PICTURE THEY WOULD COME WITH! The back black piece behind the screen, that slides up, was scratched and looked used.
DON'T BUY FROM THIS EBAY SELLER: tangyunshop899.
It came with a stylus which I wasn't aware of. Wow. It doesn't even hold itself in the phone. It keeps falling out.
The quality I think is almost the same. It looks like the metal is a little itty bitty silverish-color, more then OEM. The font on the keyboard was thinner on the Chinese-made. When the backlight turns on, you can see more then just the 'lettering', you can literally almost see the whole key light up. Kinda ugly and cheap.
Each key on keyboard doesn't quite fit, but it's trying.
When they ship the housing to do, it's already put together, it was a pain, taking it apart, because it was so stiff, I thought I almost broke the rear parts, that border the battery.
Everything fit snuggly. The phone felt study again. I had to reuse all the old electronic stuff, bolts, screws, and anything gold, such as the things that hold the screws in internally. Reuse the white plastic 'flash-lens' from the camera. Re-use side buttons. Don't forget the microphone!
I also bought a new screen that was faulty. Screen lit-up, but no touch-response.
DON'T BUY FROM THIS EBAY SELLER: moonmoonlam.
I guess you could say it was worth the money. I spent $59.00? Looks a hecka lot better than my old one. (Cracking, huge dents, scratches.)
Now I'm just waiting on a new digitizer, and 3600mAH extended battery for this thing.
CNN Housing
This is not eBay but maybe you could check out this online seller: http://cnn.cn/shop/sonyericsson-xperia-c-28_638.html
Can I have my housing changed at a service center? I'm scared of changing it myself. I'm willing to pay more for it, just to avoid the headache.
I found a dummy phone is much cheaper than buying a new housing. So i was wondering would it be possible to take the housing off a dummy phone and put it on my phone?
In short - NO. Dummy phones are only designed to look the part on the outside. Inside, however, they are nothing like the real thing and are not filled with anything, some are solid to add weight only. I never seen a dummy phone that was suitable for housing replacement, no matter how much it replicated the real thing.
Housings are not so expensive at all; about 20 dollars,
Look at Ebay? http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=so..._nkwusc=sony+ericsson+xperia+x1+houing&_rdc=1
they are made of plastic. definitely not. Just go buy a replacement

Has anybody tried this FASCIA housing wichm most of them are from HK or china?
I don't know how they are, and I'm afraid.From what I know OEM are better than fascia. Me also I would pay 25 usd on a housing or 30 on a full housing (with slider part also). What do you recomend?

Fascia means FACEPLATE, it's not a brand or means anything else, so not OEM vs Fascia comparison, rather an original product or a copy. The thing is, the original had multiple problems by cracking and falling apart all by itself, no misuse or abuse was needed, so it doesn't actually even matter which one you take. In all other cases OEM would be better.
so OEM it is not original but is better than a copy. Yeah I know about the cracks of the original ones but reading here i understood that this "fascia" are worse and I could spend the money for nothing in the end because it wouldn't fit.
If you end up buying a new housing on eBay, expect lower quality.
I ordered a body, it came with everything except for the back of the LCD (the part that has the slider that connects both halves together). The battery cover was aluminum (but lighter, less reflective paint). The plastic was quite light, and on the keyboard, where the seam is for the silver sides and the center section, the join is visible, not as nice as the original. However, the fascia was aluminum (or some other metal) - probably the best quality thing of it all, although the camera and light sensor holes seemed frosted.
I never got to using this body, but I'll keep it as a spare in case something disastrous happens.
tl;dr: Expect lower quality from eBay, will do the trick, may have missing parts.
thought id post up on here as i have done on the hd2 forum as to where people out of warranty, not under contract or not wanting to risk some of the crap on ebay can find genuine spare parts for this phone?
i myself would like a battery cover and rear housing but cannot find anywhere that will sell one. are phone companies just making phones now and not parts to go with them and leaving it up to 3rd parties to make knock off goods?
others threads where people have tried htc directly have been unsuccessful. my provider doesnt want to help and i dont want to part with hard earned cash for ebay items or similar as they all say they are genuine items but have subtle differences each time.
anyone help?

I bought a replacement battery cover here: http://www.netimes.com/shop/original-htc-hd2-battery-cover-p-2564.html?cPath=80_731
It appeared to be a genuine part and worked well.
You can find the housing parts here:
http://shop.brando.com/search.php?keyword=hd2&Submit=Product+Search
Note that they also sell the battery cover but slightly dearer, the reason why I didn't purchase from them. However, I have purchased other products from them in the past and they are trustworthy.

cheers for all the links. none look too promising though. as for the htc store. they have a battery cover but nothing else. i need the main housing. found one from another shop. i will post up pics and details when it arrives. looked pretty good in the picture.
just kinda curious,since we are able to replace the lcd screen ourselves,is it even possible to say upgrade it to a SAMOLED screen?
amazon has the orginal battery door for 12 USD
Hello
Does anyone know where I can buy real original spare parts?
I need a replacement for the Main Camera Module and a new Backcover.
I already ordered a Camera Module which should be original, but it wasn´t.
So I am looking for real original parts
Thanks

I think you can't find them anywhere. The only way to get them is by sending your phone back where you bought it and then they'll send it to LG. You can find spare parts for example on eBay but they will never be original.
Tell me if I'm wrong
rounded.com has quiet a few spare parts for our N5x
I bought my replacement screen, digitizer, and battery from Witrigs. $90 after shipping, took 2 weeks to get to Texas from China. worked great until last week when it decided it didnt like being 1 piece, and the screen cracked for no reason.

I just ordered a new back cover last week from here: https://www.fixez.com/store/lg/lg-google-nexus-5x
They don't specify if it is OEM or not, but the fit and finish is superb!
I was able to get a lens cover replacement for mine on Amazon.
It was $6 and cheaper than getting a whole new back plate. Installation was simple once I got the phone pried open.
In a nutshell I have this today:
It's my first day with my phone. I cannot use any case because in my country (Turkey) it's impossible to find any cases. I bought some but they will be delivered at least 1 month ago.
So is there any-where to find a replacement part for my back cover? I asked it to Oneplus itself but they told me that they don't sell spare parts. I looked into ebay but there's not any of it.
I know it's not a big thing but I have a big OCD problem. And it looks like a disaster to me.
ANy help will be appreciated.
I've seen many parts on eBay for OnePlus 3 but no replacement back cover yet. They have everything else though like front glass, vibration motor, battery, antenna, speaker, camera cable.

Ouch, I feel your pain dude.. I would suggest maybe covering it up with a skin for the time being and when they do start making replacement backings eventually, get one then..
two months ago, seen at Aliexpress, price was around 70$, but now item is not available. Just contact with CS and ask how much they will charge for back housing replacement at RMA.

Try one of these in the meanwhile. I'm sure you'll find a combination that suits your style!

Im sure trying to replace it on your own will cause more damage to the device because you can mess up adhesives, screen, other internals & etc
And when they say they dont sell parts it means you will endup with a cheaper manufactured backcover that is not even original. Just keep the device as it is those two dots shouldnt bother you
I'll bough 2 original cases. I think it will be ok when I get them.
By the way on the teardown videos of OnePLus 3 it looks pretty easy to remove the back cover. No adhesive or something. Just removing the bottom screws will do the job.
Man, i had the absolute same problem. When i unpacked my OP3, the charger fell out of the xox and hit the phone on the absolute same place on the bezel
I sold mine on ebay the other day and ordered a new one.
it's really simple to disassemble op3. two screws, and back cover is removed. no glue, ect.

That's kind of a funny comment as the OEM is a lower cost Chinese company.

I know I'm late here but how do you guys suggest it would be possible to produce fake back housings at the price they are charging for them? I mean how many people would realistically buy parts exclusively made for one device, and an oneplus 3 at that? A few thousand people at most? If this is the case I don't think it would be financially viable to make any sort of production line for these parts. Aside from stealing original ones from the factory, or mabye defective ones I don't see how they would produce such a limited quantity for so cheap unless they are originals? Any insight?
There are many options for the back cover. The back on my Oneplus 3 was damaged but not as bad as yours. I was planning to replace my back but all i had was a tiny scratch so it wasn't worth it. I will change it when my back is really messed up. When you search for the cover on ebay just search for battery cover You can tell most fakes as they don't have the oneplus logo and for a different colour, try to get one with the sim card tray. Try to get a cover near Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangdong that's where the Oneplus headquaters is. There's also a midnight black cover as well!
