help repairing the metal housing gsm evo 3d

Does anyone know if the metal frame housing on the gsm evo 3d is the same as sprints? I cant find any listings that specify that it will fit. Thanks

It's been a while since I took apart the CDMA one, as I don't have access to it anymore, and I've never compared the two directly, but I'm 90% sure they are indeed identical.

Hope this helps.

I'm also pretty sure that they are the same.
Unfortunately this housing gets scratches and so on really easily.

I dropped mine and the bottom metal piece is bent and disconnected :-\

The glass didn't crack but now I think it isn't as sensitive as it should be. Are all the parts the same between cdma/gsm models?

Well... clearly not all the parts, but upon some research the screen assembly (metal chassis, digitizer and LCD screen) is identical for both models.

Hope this helps

So a deep gouge on the screen of a gsm can be replaced with a sprint assembly??
Awesome. Its a pain to remove the LCD digitizer from a glued display and having it look perfect.

Yep, as a matter of fact I have a sprint logo on the digitizer of the gsm... the major problem is actually releasing the glue behind the LCD without damaging it.
