Replacement rear cover

---

Has anyone seen a replacement cover for that ugly glossy black part? I'd love to replace that with a better looking piece of plastic.

I doubt there will ever be one. Unless you can talk joey3002 into making some again, but I think he's done with the covers.

You should wait and see what the phone looks like in person.

I was just gonna take it off and go at it with 800 or 1000 grit wet and take off the gloss

I agree 100%. I don't want to put a case on my EVO but definetly need to replace that ugly glossy black part. HTC should just have kept it matte black.

I'm going with an otterbox defender. I need a heavy duty case though. Have had an otterbox on my Eco 4 G since week two after it launched. Quality case.

I would pay $$$ to get one in CF..

I want to do the same, but it looks like the camera lens part of it is going to be a PITA. Hopefully there will be third party covers available that will match the bottom half of the back.

That's what painters tape is for. If that cover is cheap enough to replace (in the unlikely event that I screw it up), I'll be going this route.

If the reason why that piece of the phone is plastic is due to the antenna placement, then replacing it with a cf piece may cause some signal attenuation as CF works as RF shielding for some applications, as i've read from RC model airplane forums where people discuss when and where to use CF in their planes.

also, NFC does not work without that specific cover in place. There are antennas and whatnot built into the thing. watch Phil Nickinsons quick walkthrough video on android central to see what I mean. he said that nfc definitely doesnt work without the cover on.
