On an unrelated note, that just looks so cool!

I'd do it if i had a spare cover or the money for a premade, lol
I pulled some off my iphone last night and it came right off without anything left behind. Just heat it a little bit and it peels off easy as pie.

As far as the warranty goes, if you do exchange them, just keep this battery case and swap it with the new one; better yet, just keep both, because as long as it's from sprint, you don't have to send the old battery covers back, just the bare phone.

This is just a customization thing for those who like to the look... Personally, I like the look but it's not worth the hassel of finding a spare cover and shipping, etc...

@Hrshycro: If you come across and spare covers, I'd like to be on the notification list to order one... I'd like to keep my OEM one original and purchase the Carbon one from you. If possible can you shoot me an Private Message so I can place my order? It would be greatly appreciated!!!

TIA!
See above. I'll post when I get some battery covers.

Well I've checked cnn.cn and they usually have every part under the sun; haven't found them anywhere yet. ;( Just hoping the sprint store comes though, but I'm also going to stop at some other stores and ask them.
