In need of a replacement front cover, which includes the capacitive button area and LG area up at the top, along with the brushed metal color bezel. I was able to find this, http://www.parts4repair.com/lg-optimus-2x-full-housing-cover-brown/ but for the O2X, everything looks similar and I know the phones are practically identical, but are they EXACTLY the same?
don't quote me on this but i'm pretty sure the G2x is just a t-mobile branded O2x, so i would assume the hardware is the same

I thought so also, some pretty good prices on that site, but it's china. Who knows if I'm actually getting what's in the picture, everything there is LG and Google branded, I hope the same stuff comes in the mail!
I see tutorials about taking this thing apart, and they're all like 5-7 minutes long, so it shouldn't be that much of a chore.

Ebay no, but I checked Amazon, I'll have to look. I'd MUCH rather get things locally with actual pictures of what I'm ordering, and not generic pictures.

Looking at eBay, there are US shippers that have bezels and front capacitive covers for like $30-$40 for both the g2x and HD7 that I need.
Now I have to get a Y cable with SD card reader to root my hd7, such a hassle.

I think it's (425) 861-9174. All they ask for is your IMEI and a mailing address. So I'm betting there's a limit of how many you can get.
Do you think they'll also replace the SD/SIM cover? Mine is creaky to the touch and doesn't seem like it fits too well.

I didn't ask for one, but the rep was telling me about how they just got an email about how users were complaining about broken battery covers and I think he even said SIM covers too. Wouldn't hurt to ask, but let us know if they do if you call.

Think ill call and order a spare in case mine breaks.
has anyone confirmed this? also about the SD cover?
If someone wants to try emailing them, here is their email address: [email protected]
I just emailed them and when they reply, ill update this post with more info on what they say.
I requested them to send me both covers. My battery cover is all messed up from removing it too much and my SIM/SD card is missing the tabs that keep it flush with the body of the phone.
I'm still not sure how such a poor design got past R&D, and field testing...
Just got off the phone with them. Told them that my phone is unusable because the cover is broken and the battery keeps falling out. I also told them that my sim cover is bent. FREE overnight shipping on both of them. I was surprised at how great HTC customer service is.

Ok so I know it has been talked about but I would like to know if anyone has tried to make one. Just did a quick search and those sim covers are quite pricey. ~$20 being the cheapest on eBay. Any ideas? I saw the ONLY case with it built in but that is also pricey ~$30

Seriously? Because ONE phone out of hundreds builds in a kickstand it should become the norm? LOL.
Really tho, It's not something I think most people want to add bulk to their case for. Sure there's a market for it, but not enough to justify most making it. There are tons of pocket stands (even some that fold up into a credit card) available on eBay. I don't regularly sit in front of my 4" phone to watch things long enough to warrant having a stand, tho.

Agreed however when you get an "updated" version of a phone that has a kickstand it's kind of a bummer when it's not an option. I can honestly say i've never really had the need for a kickstand but having it available is definitely a nice thing.
So I don't live in the US but I'm in need of a new battery door for the G2X.

I am in the same dilemma. Extended 3500ma batteries and covers for P900/999 are available on eBay for around 11-15, so I am going to go that way I guess.
Hard to believe the regular covers are so scarce.

For those that have managed to get a battery door from T-mobile: How much did it cost?
I've read that many have managed to get them for free. Would anyone be willing to get one for me and ship to Aus?
I'll cover shipping and will even add some cash on top for your troubles (provided it doesn't cost more than $45!)

Samsung Infuse 4G SGH-I997 Replacement Parts and they seem to have battery doors, i know some of you needed some. they seems to have screens and digitizers but out of stock. Cameras, batteries, speakers and what not.
i have not bought from them so i would not know if they are legit. maybe someone here can confirm. Just thought id share.
Hehe yeah that site is good buuuuuuuut...
You need to be a reseller, repair or some settled bussines related to phones.... They sell you by batches and you require to apply for membership.
I once tried to apply to buy 1 battery cover...
I was contacted about 3 days later just to be informed about all this.
Thats it basicly you need to buy a whole bunch of em; and/or be a repair industry, reseller etc.
Yeah... dissapointing i knoe...
Stil if someone here is a reseller, repairs phones or something like that give it a try maybe my mistake waa mentioning i only wanted 1 battery cover haha
