Results of my "Custom G1 Housing Change"

[edgargeminis620]

you must have ordered the housing without the swivel then. where did you order it from? and how long did it take to get?

has anyone tried to mod their G2 with a different color housing and lived to show it off?

[edgargeminis620]

yes sir. much much easier and less time consuming than the G1.

My G1 is really looking rather battered all over and was considering doing a housing swap. The only thing is I'm not sure where to get the housing from - I would like to get one that will definetely fit properly and is of good quality and of course at a good price. I've done housing swaps before though not on a G1 and purchased some housings from eBay and the like. I know that some housings sold on eBay can be of very dubious quality.

So I was wondering if anyone can recommend from anywhere that they got theirs from. I'd like a white cover as this is what mine is now, but any colour would do as long as it's of good quality. Oh, my G1 is a the UK model (on T-Mobile) if that helps any.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I cracked my screen yesterday but the touch screen still works. I'm probably going to buy a digitizer and I might aswell change my keyboard keys while I'm at it.

Here is a link for a manual on assembly and disassembly of the G1.
