No one "sells" a battery door that isn't Red?!

Seriously you'd think some company would be cashing in on Sprint's blunder with the color choice. Hell an obnoxious yellow cover would've atleast made sense. (What made them choose this?!

)

I even googled/looked for those who sell, extended batteries. The GSM version ironically has alot of options in size of battery & they all come with a battery door.
Anything I've seen for CDMA was either Red or rare in availability.

Ugh, is any dealer in the process of offering or making these options available?

*P.S. I already know about dying the cover so feel free to restrain yourself.

I've been also searching for a while now for a CDMA back cover and no luck. Early last month I was on a trip in Windsor, Ontario and I went to a Telus store just to see if they sell their Diamond back, and of course they didnt.

Oh well, I have a black rubber case around mine, I think I can manage with it.

You can dye your battery cover with any color you want...search the this forum for "DYI" i think and you'll find it.

Tried that, according to them they don't sell accessories directly to consumers. They just referred me back to Sprint.

Yeah, sadly they don't have one.
To be fair, thier selection for the CDMA Diamond is fairly new so I'm keeping watch.

Try www.expansys.com They are a licensed distributor for all HTC products with a pretty extensive line up. Gregg is very helpful and knowledgeable. Last I spoke, they were supposed to get a black cover in for the Sprint Touch Diamond. That was a couple of months ago. I never followed up though. Just as a heads up and off topic, stay away from boxwave screen protectors as they scratch very easily, especially in the areas where you use your stylus.</p>
