Arrive battery cover

Anyone spots an Arrive battery cover let me know. I want to use my drill press and do a custom design in it, maybe even do a polish job but want to keep the original for backup.

I just lost mine today. I'll report back if I can find one

...so got tired of looking for a battery cover to tweak (Sprint was no help) so I e-mailed HTC. Awaiting reply, will post soon with results.

UPDATE: Returned email and a phone call to HTC.... I can not purchase this through HTC directly, only third party websites. Duh! already tried that

I found my battery cover right where I left it

Same story as you. I couldn't find a battery cover to save my life so I'm really glad I didn't lose it for real. Surprised there aren't ANY to purchase through any type of channel.

Thanks for reporting back. Glad you found yours, I'll still probably tweak mine on an impulse moment but wanted one for backup just in case.

Have any of you tried going to a sprint store w/ service center? I've been given extra covers for free with my previous phones before; I wouldnt be surprized if they have some spares laying around.

Yes sir, and NADA. The person at my former store suggest I go to ebay or craigslist where I could purchase a replacement phone to use the battery cover.

have you tried the thread starter of this thread? http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-arrive...sassembly.html

He purchased a spare phone as his screen broke. I'd imagine that he may have a spare cover.

Thanks Esqueue, I did finally get one. Sorry, forgot to update. It took many circles and emails going round and round. If I ever get the time to perforate it I will post a how to and results if helps in cooling. Anyone got any cool design ideas PM me.
