Before:

Besides the peeling layers of skin, the screen was scratched quite badly and had become inaccurate to the point of making allignment attempts futile.

After:

Now she has a perfectly accurate and pristeen screen, smooth velvety soft front housing bezel, different logo, and custom 'chromey' buttons! Just $8.99 will get the parts that make most of this possible, from here:

Looks great Mr.G!
Nice Work!!
I like the chrome buttons!

I still kinda miss my vogue.

Now...did you put a new rom on it too?

WinMo 6.5 is tempting, but an awful lot of my software has known issues with it, including the applications I use most, like AE Button Plus, PaintWM, XnView Pocket, and Pocket Player:

I'd've never attempted a facia fix, if it weren't for this forum having so many helpful posts. Huge heartfelt thanks to: TMZ

Hey, you definitely don't have to put 6.5 on your Vogue. I have 6.1 on my Diamond. I think it is lighter than 6.5 so it uses less resources and you have lots of options for skinning. Unless you really like Titanium or Sense.

Hey - thanks for posting this!

It reminds me that I have another Vogue sitting in the drawer (my wife's old phone - she moved on to Imagio) - the screen started going out in bottom right corner. I'll get this, fix it up and I guess sell it then, works great otherwise...

Those things are hard to kill! Mine has been going strong for 2 1/2 years now...
