New covers available for the diamond here to cover the red

[shaggylive]

you could always get a can of model airplane paint, pick any color you want.

just take the red back off and spray paint it black

You mean a replacment battery door?

That would be a better idea...

sorry... I search and didnt find any threds about this issue... I found a few posts but none dedicated to the question of the red back.

If anyone wants to you can close this thread.

So... Here is my questions;

Who thinks/knows that either sprint htc or some third party accessory manufactures will make replacement battery doors in black or other colors?

Also, who else feels like I do? Am I the only person who is not a fan of the red back on the Sprint diamond? To me It looks cheap!

(FYI... I ordered mine at 1am pst. thats California time and I'm still waiting on my confirmation number)

I ordered one in spite of the red. If I don't like the red, will order a Telus back and stylus, and use black touchup paint on the USB port area. No biggie.

Not to hijack the thread, but I just found out that I may have access to an injection molder. If I am able to make battery covers in different colors, would poeple be interested in purchasing them?

i find it hilarious that you Sprint'ers are in "desperate mode" to change the colour of your diamonds!

Well the red was a terrible design choice on Sprint's part.

The seriously FAILED this time.

But I bought one anyway.

And yes, jmath, make it happen!! PM me when you have pics and I can PayPal you.
