Some stores don't keep accessories. From what I understand, the stores which can do minor repairs are more likely to be the ones which keep accessories.

Isn't the Sprint battery cover rubberized enough? I felt the GSM back cover, and it's a different material than the CDMA cover. It has less grip, but if feels much more comfortable.

I tried that first and no go. Left it for 30 MIN and still just washed off. Did you try looking in the laundry dept. or the craft dept? I had to finally look in the laundry dept and they had it there.

yeh id assume most walmarts are set up the same being a corporate chain. The dye should be on the laundry isle with detergents.

My Update:

Well I dyed my cover the same day this thread was created and its been holding up so far. I haven't had any issues with bleeding of any kind under any situation. The only thing now though is that the edges of the battery cover are starting to turn a slight purplish color. I can only assume that its from everyday wear and tear similar to when the original cover was silver at first and then after a while it turned that slight brown color everyone was complaining about.

probably. But for under $2 you can just die it every few months again, it shouldnt hurt the cover.
