[Q] HD7 back Housing (bottom part)

[Rouz.]

Anyone knows where i can find it? Mine is slightly loose now, (after i opened it for changing the SD-card)

Any help is much appreciated.

I bought mine and didn't even touch it and there's a gap between the charger and the bottom cover of the phone where you can see the SIM card. Just a very poor design.

I have the same problem. I opened it to swap the sd card, and since then it doesn't close perfectly anymore.

I called htc about this, and they confirm that they only sell the upper part of the back cover. You can send it in, but then it'll cost you about 40 dollars for the fix, minus the shipping. I just ordered a silicone cover instead.

I just hope that they will start selling those bottom parts too.

I agree with you I have seen many review criticise this! There seems to be a poor quality control at HTC for the HD7, the gap to me looks like about 1mm that's not acceptable!

Fortunately I have been very luck my HD7 does not have that gap!

It's a shame ... seriously ... the back housing is not the only part of a low quality ...

Even the power button doesnt seem to work properly (after two week of usage!) and i have to press it really hard to get it to work.

and I also saw the "Tarnished camera button" in the other thread ...

HTC!!!! SERIOUSLY?!!!

my local HTC repair shop contacted a lot of people but was also unable to get the part. i am thinking of superglue right now ...

superglued down. no other option but its perfect now

The gap annoyed me after I upgraded it to 32GB... So I carefully sanded down some of the plastic lugs and superglued the bottom part to the body. Yup, I know it was quite drastic but at least I've ended up with a perfect HD7... And a voided warranty! It's a shame that HTC allowed this horrible gap. My old HD2 was much better finished.

As much as i'd like to post a link for some back covers for you all there seems to be a lack of spare parts for the moment . I did however find a coverall solution that although doesn't fix your phones will at least let you hold it together until we can buy some at a later date
