Replacement Back Cover in Blue

[david.giessing]

Hi Guys,
after putting one of these QI receivers with adhesive on my P9 and having it there for a few month, the back cover got a slight dent. Nothing major but it reeaaally bugs me. I have the P9 in grey but after seeing the blue one i figured i wanted to replace the back side with the blue one. The problem is: I can not find it anywhere. The colours available from release are all there, even the red one shows up here and there but not the blue one. Has anyone of you guys seen it around anywhere?

hi,

you can not replace the back cover as it is a unibody phone. meaning you would have to remove the entire screen, motherboard and transfer it into another empty uniboday frame

This is just not true! Look up some teardown videos or so you can do this! Maybe you missunderstood but i want to replace the whole grey part

it is true and i totally understood what you said. But the grey part is a unibody metal piece that can not be simply removed as if it was the BACK COVER of a samsung galaxy s2 which allows you to put in/take out the sim card, battery and micro sd card.

Probably easier too buy a skin from dBrand

As aceclift said, you can just take back cover from another phone and just put it there. If you actually watched those teardown and read what they said about it, its unibody that contain few major components, and you actually need to put all internals from your device, including most tricky part, the screen, to that new housing.
And I can say that looking and your approach to that question, you would fail to disassemble your device and replace that housing, because its not "plug&play" you need some knowledge, experience and patience to do this.

Also Blue and Red versions of P9 are actually really exclusive versions, and its hard to get them(I wanted red so trust me I searched for it for some time). So if its hard to find actuall phone, finding housing from it its almost impossible.

As telsims said, its better and cheaper to buy Dband skin::

I made one my self with carbon fiber look and its amazing, so if you bought one it would be even better.

I had a Dbrand skin on it for a while but i just did not like at and the blue just looks amazing. I don't know, where you see the difficulties here. I mean you unscrew two screws get the assembled unit out of the frame and disconnect the fingerprint sensor. Done. You can buy the unibody in the other colours including the fingerprint sensor and the you just connect the fingerprint sensor put the unit back in and insert the screws. I once replaced the screen from a HTC One X and that was a lot more complicated.

I mean look at the ending: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDPRtzjqSlo its just that last three steps.

original back housing of Huawei P9

If you want to change the skin of Huawei P9, replace the back housing of Huawei p9. I followed the video of witrigs to replace the back housing. It looks great. Blue is the best color!

Thank you a lot! But as you guessed it's not relevant anymore. I am on the P20 Pro for two weeks now and sold my good old p9 today. But again thanks for reaching out!
