I have back doors for the TP and Diamond. PM me for more information.
Also for those who don't want to do the work themselves I can also provide pre-dyed
back doors for both the TP and Diamond.

I was at work when I tried it. I took an extra back off of a return, went to Wal Mart and got the dye for $1.62, and then I took a bowl filled it with hot water straight from the sink and then I put it in the microwave for 5 minutes. Put the back into the water for fifteen minutes and pulled it out and it was perfect once I ran it under cold water and let it dry. So anyone with any question of temperature try this and see if it works. The microwave was set to high for five minutes, thats all it took.

Picked up an extra at a Sprint Store today. If they don't have them the first time you ask come back in a couple weeks, they will get some especially if you ask for it. Just ask nicely or come in without a cover on and make up a story.

I did mine on low heat with a full bottle of liquid black for exactly 15 and it came out perfect. Buffing is a must but it only took about 5 minutes to buff it. It did shrink a little bit width wise but still fits on the phone just fine. Looking back on it, I wish I had none a gunmetal grey color, that would have matched a little better with the front than the jet black I was going for. I'm going to pick up two more covers and do this again (this time probably with a half bottle of dye instead) one in Tennessee Orange for game days and one in a forest green. I've also got the hook up at the IS kiosk in my mall and I will get a free IS for the back.

I called my local Sprint store. They have 3 in stock, and she said I could have one for free out of courtesy. Then I asked if I could buy the other two and she hung up on me! LOL
