Nice job! I'm just happy that I have VZ and therefore the superior looking color imo.

The guy is trying to share his work. You should be thanking him and not picking at him.

i'm with you 100 percent. Sprints looks so nice, i don't know why someone would want to mess up the cover. The color they chose is just right and the orange accents are tasteful

another experiment...A little red white & blue... Definitely not everyone's taste, but figured I'd share

First off...great job on the different looks...Thanks for starting this thread because there are some folks that didn't have the first TP...and they probably didn't know about the RIT dye process.

Second of all...smart to start a Sprint specific thread since the original TouchPros were different devices (esp. under the hood...I still would have loved the faceted back that the European versions had)

Third of all...if you like your phone the way it is...then leave it at that. If you're on PPC Geeks, you're looking for a way to get the MOST out of your phone...so this is just another way. Stop flaming the thread starter that wants to share and contribute to the community.

I've been trying to get xtra covers from my local Sprint repair center with no success. Obvious reason being the TP2 is not IN the stores yet. But, for all those of you that might consider doing this, the Sprint centers keeps the battery covers before they send the phone in for repairs...and when the phones come back they have a replacement cover. So usually, they'll have onesies and twosies back there...just gotta ask.

BTW, love the speaker mesh cover only dye job...I'm considering that one

Thanks for sharing your custom work on the Pro2 SolApathy.

ps.

You should post a/your Youtube video showing how to remove the orange and also illustrating the dyeing process.

Although I still think the Sprint cover is pretty ugly compared to either the VZ or T-Mobile design, I got to admit it loks A LOT BETTER without that hideos orange color!!

It’s clear that the Verizon poster is way too narrow minded about this and probably life in general to see that there Is obvious merit to this post for Sprint specific users.
- the guy took the time to take several good photo examples, and has given ideas to others on how to be creative to the back, that is unique to Sprint. -Whether you like it or not - I say well done and thanks for the info.
