Do anyone use this matt finishing battery cover for TD2?
I wanted to change to this matt finishing battery cover but do not know where find this...
Cos firstly orignal shiny finishing cover is a finger print magnet and secondly very easily scatched !
I alraedy have a scatch mark just below the pointed end of the camara....

I here tell that HTC will be releasing alternative battery doors at some point, including a furry one . No dates yet

There already exist 2 different covers, black and brown, but no matt finish (to buy)
at the moment.

I hope the matt one comes soon.

My german Diamond2 (MDA Compact V) has a matt finishing battery cover.
With a brushed alu part, around the cam.

.
But looks like it does not fit to the original HTC-device.

Btw. the diamond (MDA Compact IV) had a similar back cover. The T-Mobile-version of the HTC devices always had matt covers instead of the shiny finishined.

I read on Engadget that it'd go for around AU$30 if I remember correctly... or maybe it was more...

I want one aswell... The diamond is a perfect device, But the gloss battery cover... It just isn't my thing.
Although on ebay... They DO sell full housings, Which contains a matte battery cover, costs 60€ though

you may keep the back cover and resell the rest to someone who's housing broke.

It says N.B. The product image is for illustration only, not the actual bettery cover. Doesn't say if it is matt or black plastic though.

Just arrived for the full housing for Topaz with matt cover!
Absolutely the best!
No more fingerprints, scratches or soap effect.
The cover seems rubberized. It is less creaking and more compact.
Definitely needed!

The matt cover is arrived with the metal front and a set of screwdrivers and plectrum to open the phone.
To have as insurance in case of crash!
