I kind of just want to buy it to see if I can flip the kickstand around.

i just need a picture of the tear down to see if switching it would interfere with the chip

edit: they probably couldn't put the kickstand on the other side because the screws for the hinge will hit the micro-usb charge port

Doesn't look good

Check out the site a little bit before you order, people. The ratings for this site don't look very good at all. I'd stay away from them and save your money.

Final5k · Jul 20, 2011

There are many bad reviews about lingosbox on the web - has anyone purchased from them and received it?

I installed the one from repairuniverse and it seems to be OEM in all ways but one. The kickstand does not seem to have the transparent coating that the original did. This is a good thing in my opinion since I spent a lot of time pealing mine off after it started to chip a month after I got the phone. Fitment was great and the rest of the look is OEM as I said before

Nah, that's just the crappy coat on the kickstand coming off. tape off around the kickstand, and take a green scrubby pad to it. a bit of metal polish, and it'll look way better than before.

Not necessarily as cheap, but a bit more established and reputable (ordered quite a few things from them for fixing BBs etc.)

If its the surface chiping off then not chems, mine did it 1st week and I ended up pealing the rest off over time with fingernail.

I recently bought a whole new shell and battery cover for my phone...repairsuniverse is an excellent site, thats where I bought mine and they give you the tools and it looks fantastic

thoward93 · Dec 22, 2011

Can you order one with the blue kickstand like in the first picture? that looks pretty cool.

I think that's just a blue protective sticker on the kickstand. Not an actual blue kickstand.
