Re: new housing for the Touch

I used the black Sprint housing for the majority of the time I had my Touch. I was able to get the Sprint branded digitizer off and put the VZW one on. It is held in place with double-sided tape. After taking the phone apart, I twisted the top of the front housing till I could get my fingernail in between the housing and the corner of the digitizer to pull it loose. It is a little bit thicker than a US .25 cent quarter. I ran my nail along the top and two sides very slowly while pushing the digitizer slightly from the back. There is a ribbon at the bottom of the digitizer. Work slowly so it does not rip loose.

Agree with MrGoodtunes... give yourself plenty of time and pay attention. It has been a little while since I've swapped but feel free to post any questions. I'd be happy to help.

EDIT: One more thought... be careful about what housing you buy. I don't think the GSM housings will fit. Something with the camera...
