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

Re: SPRINT TP2 + Drill Press + 1/16 Drill Bit = Soft Reset No Case Removal

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

Re: SPRINT TP2 + Drill Press + 1/16 Drill Bit = Soft Reset No Case Removal

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.

Re: SPRINT TP2 + Drill Press + 1/16 Drill Bit = Soft Reset No Case Removal

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.

Re: SPRINT TP2 + Drill Press + 1/16 Drill Bit = Soft Reset No Case Removal

If you want the distance front to back to be perfect just take a piece of black electric tape and line up with the center of the reset and carefully put your cover back on and mark it even with the tape. Then measure up from the edge to get the center going up. Too easy.

You drill a hole to access the button in case your phone & your power button lock up and wont respond.
