I am really thinking about doing this right now but I just know I will find a way to f this up.

Here I did it using my Rotary Tool. Unfortunately the Verizon version also covers the reset button. I did it by measuring from the edge of the Vol - button & the inside edge of the cover. I still ended up a bit too high & too far left....I drilled by hand. Not too bad though.

I wonder what this does to your warranty? I guess if you have TEP it doesn't matter.

haha, great idea. Any other verizon users thinking about repainting the back of their tp2's? I think I'm gunna tape off the speakerphone and have my buddy sand down and spray the back black to match the rest of the phone. If I do I'll get pics!

It will not do anything to your warranty.. the 5th time I replaced my TP I forgot to put the original back over (mine was painted black) and they didn't mind.. I think the guy took the back cover for himself since he had a TP. lol

I'd buy one too. Seriously, you can just buy a bunch of battery covers, drill holes, and mark them up for $3-$5 each. It seems like it's easy for you to do it, and a lot of people don't want to mess up, which makes the premium worth it.

I did the modification. The distance from the volume key assy was fine, but I was too high. A bit of rounding out though did the trick.
