Re: anyone elses battery cover becoming discolored?

Heck, mine is dyed black and it's fading around the edges and around the plastic camera lens part. I guess I'm gonna have to re dye it cause IMO, it looks like crap when it's pulled outa my case........

Never seen that before... You can try getting a new cover from a Sprint store... Probably get it for free

Hey BigDiesel, that same thing happened to my phone. Thanks for the heads up about going to a Sprint Store for new covers.

Re: Any one have a discolored Back on their touch pro

Wow, I was about to post a new thread about this, I don't know how I missed this, as I've frequented the Touch Pro forum since it was created, and more than just frequently around release when I got my phone. But yea, mine definitely changed colors and the funny thing is I didn't even realize it was so bad until I just got a replacement (the chrome was flaking off pretty badly).

Anyways here's some comparison pics. I've got an invisible shield in the mail right now for this new one and I'm not gonna take it out of the wrapping until I can put the shield on. But yea, it is severely yellow and nasty looking in comparison.

Re: Any one have a discolored Back on their touch pro

I used teflon spray wax on a soft cloth and wiped my entire phone with it, now I didn't get it soaked, just enough to let dry and then I wiped it clean and polished it like polishing a car.
Less finger prints, no decoloration, and chrome looks awesome!!
