I think im fixing to order a replacement non white housing and do just that. Sand it down, paint it with white krylon plastic paint, or what would be the best paint...amy ideas. Im tired of waiting for the verizon version to come out and I can get the white battery door so should look pretty good just painting the housing.

So where can I find the i515 housing for cheap? Cheapest I've seen was about $35 where as you can find the GSM version for 15 shipped.
I dropped my phone two nights ago and it has a nice chip in the corner. I want to get rid of it that instantly.
The GSM i9250 rear housing can be found at the below places:
Link 2 (Perfect fit confirmed in post 195)
I purchased this after reading that it fit well on this thread, but upon installation, i found that the volume rocker does not sit correctly. It remains depressed because the cutaway does not allow enough space for the rocker to fit all the way through. When i tried to turn it on, the buttons remains depressed (forcing the phone into safe mode). You can clearly see that a piece of the plastic should be shaved off more but it was not made correctly. I do not recommend this one from ebay. I'm going to try to get my money back and try the one from parts4repair unless anyone has a better source.

I'm trying to find replacement housing for the SPH-L700. Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I thought VZW might be compatible, it is not. I cannot find anything on the web..help?
Just wanted to let you guys know that I ordered the housing from Link #2 in the op which post #209 reported did not fit properly.
It arrived today and I literally just finished installing it 5 minutes ago.
I had NO problems with the volume rocker not fitting. I tested it out beforehand to see if the volume rocker fits all the way through the cut-out and indeed it DOES.
So contrary to post #209, this one fit perfectly for me and my phone looks brand new again. Total steal for $15
edit: Also wanted to add that this one looks IDENTICAL to stock housing. There are no dimples on the vol rocker and the power button symbol looks just like the original.
I just ordered this, some matalic green model paint and some primer. My housing has some good scratches from a drop but they aren't deep so the pan is to put the new housing on as is, then sand and paint the old housing a custom color. I'll let you guys know how it goesI actually just replaced my rear housing an hour or so ago. It took me all of 15 minutes. Remove 6 screws from under the battery cover > separate housing edges from screen area > pry out core. Super simple really. Then just pop the core into the new housing.
Also, if anyone is looking for the Verizon Gnex housing, I found a seller on eBay that is selling the OEM housing. Its EXACTLY the same inside and out and fits perfectly. Here is what I bought:

I took a few pictures if anyone wants me to post them as well.
Are there any tutorials on how the LTE/CDMA variant comes apart? I imagine its similar to the GSM one...
Also since VZN is releasing the Gnex in white, will the rear housing be different to accommodate the smaller storage? I would kill to have the real housing on my 32 gig
