Replace cover on Bold 9000?

[Dovi]

I've had my Bold 9000 for over a year now, and I've got a few chips on the edges so that the silver coating has come off. Anyone know where I can purchase a new cover for the Bold so I can just transfer the body from one cover to the other? Just to be clear, I'm talking about the actual phone cover, not a protective cover.

You can order them off ebay but if your SP offers a 2nd year of warranty you'll lose that once you open the case.

You can book it in @ Vodacare and request a cover replacement. They will then quote you. Only VSP phones though.

First of, eat very greasy food with your hands, then use the trackball. Do this repeatedly till trackball doesn't work anymore then take in into your service provider and request them to fix it - 2months later they tell you they can't fix it and send you a new phone.

Being serious now, my sister took her phone into customer service at MTN for her SAMSUNG when the paint came of and they put on a new original cover.

www.berryfix.co.za - I just spoke to the CPT branch. They seem to know what they are doing. Quoted R700 to supply and fit new housing for BB9000 Bold. Housing only not back plate and keyboard etc so just the silver part.
