Guest RHodgett Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Out having a few beers over new years I drunkenly dropped my phone and lost the back cover :unsure: . Does anyone know where would be a good place to purchase one from? Can't find anything on eBay. Would love to have one without the Orange branding if at all possible (San Fran Back) but anything would do at this point. Thanks for any info in advance!
Guest That-Guy Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Good luck with that lol, I was looking at getting another but had no luck finding. I have just come to the conclusion that I will have to wait for people to start breaking the San Francisco and putting them on Ebay :unsure:

Guest isambard Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 some people imported spare parts directly from china. but i guess for cool factor, you can just stick a plaster over the back from top to bottom :unsure:
Guest samjam Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 mines got a crack thats growing now too... if you've not got any warranty goodness to rely on, then carefully applied superglue may stop the growing. You may want to apply the superglue with the tip of a needle to the part of the crack that is growing. If you also use a needle in the old part of the crack it may open the crack enough to help you apply the superglue into the new part of the crack. Then work backwards applying a little superglue along (as best inside the crack edges as you can) up to the needle that holds it open. Then remove the needle. Exhaling onto the glued area provides moisture that may help cure the glue, but don't breath in the fumes from the glue! Sam

Out of interest, how many people here would be after a back cover if I was to put an order in?
Guest fox2000 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 That might be an option. Out of interest, how many people here would be after a back cover if I was to put an order in? interested but, as I live in Italy, I'll have to order it on my own. Do you know the website which sells such spare parts? thank you :unsure:
Guest jt_mcg Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 That might be an option. Out of interest, how many people here would be after a back cover if I was to put an order in? I would buy at least one and possibly six as spares for family/friends. The internal part of the power button attached to the back cover has become a little worn and sometimes has difficulty making contact with the internal switch that is fully functioning.
Guest heavyduty00 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 you could maybe just buy a soft gel case to use for the mo? as a back cover?
Guest lordofangels Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 That might be an option. Out of interest, how many people here would be after a back cover if I was to put an order in? If someone can get a regular supply of back covers, batteries etc there's a huge earning potential there for somebody.
Guest rbbrslmn Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 That might be an option. Out of interest, how many people here would be after a back cover if I was to put an order in? I would especially if you could get one with a better lens cover (or even no lens cover)
Guest Spies Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 Both front and rear spares would be awesome.
Guest samjam Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 If someone can get a regular supply of back covers, batteries etc there's a huge earning potential there for somebody. earning potential which is offset nicely by risk. ebay increases supply of spares directly in proportion to the "hugeness" of the earning potential thereby decreasing the earning potential. The risk can correspondingly be reduced by taking advance orders (which I observe is happening in some fashion). This is demonstrated nicely to me with screen-protectors, where I see single protectors for blade selling at around £8 (or did before Christmas) and packs of six selling for about £2.50 Someone's huge earning potential was dashed there!
Guest stanno Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 That might be an option. Out of interest, how many people here would be after a back cover if I was to put an order in? 2 for me, and a few batteries also.
Guest Spies Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 I'd take a back cover. To be honest you'd have no problem selling them if you bought say 400.
Guest chrisonrails Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 I saw some in China during Christmas break, but instead of 'Orange' logo, it has 'ChinaMobile'. But guess no one cares about the logo. How much you would vote for it ? I would personally accept 5-10 quid.
Guest buster13 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 That might be an option. Out of interest, how many people here would be after a back cover if I was to put an order in? Hi, I would also be very interested in a couple of back covers. Cheers
Guest modelman Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 My back covers starting to become a bit of a loose fit due to the battery removal from Rom flashing. Don't know how long it's going to hold out. Could be market for these shortly!!!

Guest rory12 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 I REALLY REALLY need one of these, someone please help ;) Thanks.
Guest landwatcher1 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 I REALLY REALLY need one of these, someone please help ;) Thanks. I have imported back cover with China Unicom logo on the back. Will come in ten days.
Guest Briteuk Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 I REALLY REALLY need one of these, someone please help ;) Thanks. Someone sells in china. Back cover is about £ 5~6. (including the glass of camera, but the white is without power button) A set is about £12~ £15.
Guest rbbrslmn Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 how does it function without a power button??
Guest Briteuk Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 how does it function without a power button?? i think you may use the old button. but it seems that u need to destroy the cover to take it from.. lol i'll confirm with the seller tomorrow ;)
Guest rbbrslmn Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 i think you may use the old button. but it seems that u need to destroy the cover to take it from.. lol i'll confirm with the seller tomorrow ;) the button from the old one is part of the case though and moves on a sort of pivot attached to the top... it would no longer work if it snapped off...
