I did this today with my phone. Came out very nice actually. The left is new, the right is old....
It was a bit annoying to file down that piece (i dont own a dremel) but it turned out OK. I just used the razor of a box cutter. Very slowly.
The speaker stopped me for a min though. Didnt see an obvious way to pop it out and was a bit cautious about it. Popped out pretty easily though when I finally did it!

How do you remove the speaker? I have done everything else but that part and have no clue how to do it

Pics!
I got it figured out. Decided it looks best with a mixture of black and white so I switched the back with the white housing and left the battery cover black. The only modification required is to get rid of the lanyard hole and to switch over the speaker. Not difficult at all since you can just pop the whole speaker thing out. It helped to view some videos of how to disassemble the phone on youtube.
Sorry about the pic quality...I took them with my old captivate

You're not going to be able to keep the strap hole... it won't fit with it still there. That's the thing you need to grind off (on the inside of the case) to get it to fit.
Just out of curiosity, why does the front housing for the i9100 not work?

Mostly b/c the i9100 has the one physical button at the bottom of the screen...

Just to throw this out there, this video was very helpful for me in getting the speaker out of the back of the OEM casing. I was pretty sure I was going to break it - but after watching this guy get his out, I was a lot more comfortable prying mine out of it.

Confused..what does the firmware have to do with the physical button
He is asking if you use the i9100 firmware or a Custom Rom would this make the physical button work and essentially convert your i777 into an international version (i9100). But i doubt that would work at all.

thanks for the pics, no offense, but those pics are terrible.
you could've taken a screen shot or snap a pic with your webcam instead of taking a pic of your screen.
any possible way to get clearer pics? would love to see that color combo (white back and black front).
besides grinding off that notch, everything snaps into place?1I did this today with my phone. Came out very nice actually. The left is new, the right is old....
