HTC 8525 Plastic Casing / Housing

[Superman859]

Does anyone know where I can buy a new plastic casing for the Cingular 8525? The phone works great, but the outside is chipped a bit and a little beat up. I would like to replace it if possible. Everything I find when looking it up just returns cases / holsters - I'm looking to replace the actual casing the phone is in.

Alternatively, are there any good, hard cases that are not bulky and protect the screen as well? I had a metal one for the 8125 that worked well (although a bit bulky), but this phone doesn't quite fit it.

I would like to know too. I have too many scratches now and would like to clean it up. I don't want to switch phones until that Blackstone comes out!!

Hey, i was searching for Hermes Housing few weeks ago!
First thing you have to look are the different Hermes Models
HERM100, HERM200 and HERM300

The 200 has got a unique design so these Housings are not compatible to the other ones, but the 100 and 300 are nearly the same, the exclusive difference is the Front-Key-Layout.
The Key Layout does no effect to the compatibility of Housings.

As far as i know the 8525 is a HERM100 but it does not have a front camera.So if you want to put a 8525 Housing on a normal HERM100/300 you will loose your front Camera.
But inverted if you put a Hermes 100/300 Housing on a 8525 it will fit and you will get an empty front camera hole.

So if you got an 8525 you're able to buy every Hermes 100/300 Housing!
Here is for example one:

But if the pictures are true, it will only fit on 8525, because missing front camera.So the description is wrong, it will not fit for example with MDA Vario 2 (HERM300)

and here's my favorite Housing Seller:

There you're able to find a 8525 Housing:
