Where can I buy a new (non-red) back battery cover?

[ZUMA]

I don't like the back red cover on the sprint diamond. Does anyone know of a place that sells different ones? I checked eBay and found the covers that have the diamond cut on the back but they don't fit sprint diamonds. Im really starting to think I should just sharpie it black, lol.

or do the ghetto method and use spray paint or take it to an auto body shop and have them paint it.

dying the back is incredibly easy. just go to your local wal-mart, and pick up the laundry dye they have (can't remember the brand name). fill up something round and relatively tall with warm water(ie a bucket, but unless its metal, make sure its something you don't mind getting black or whatever color you choose). then throw your back cover right in there , no masking or prep needed, of course actually throwing it in is optional. I wouldn't recommend it if you like your counter tops though. after a few hours take it out and check it. when its done set it on a towel or napkin and let dry. final step... replace cover, enjoy, and thank

The sharpie method actually works real good, but there is a secrete on how to do it to make it even. and adding a zagg invisible shield gives it a black glass look.
the secrete is in layers (i did i think 5) but between the layers you need to wipe (more of a buffing) the residue from the sharpie off(using a regular ruff cloth not a very soft one) which leaves the dye only, not the uneven ghetto sharpie look. don't hold the back with your hands the same cloth is a good idea. also not a good idea to sharpie the red ring(usb port) or your stylus. it only takes about 20 mins.

Thanks Sophos and caleb02, the dye looks like a good idea Im on my way to get some now.

This works great! i can post pics of my Diamond if you would like to see another final product. the dye was less than $2 and it took maybe 15 minutes...

So no one makes back covers for the diamond?

I bought a Alltel bettery door on ebay that fits perfect on the Sprint Touch Diamond. Its grey in color. You can even get the grey stylus to go with it.
