    beats the hell out of me
    Guest
    My new puppy got a hold of my i95cl (!) and pretty much tore the antenna,
    battery cover and front casing up pretty bad. Fortunately for me I caught
    him before he damaged the phone beyond the exterior (read: it still works
    fine). But now I have this phone that is pretty banged up and I have been
    considering purchasing the 'housing' or 'casing' and trying to replace it
    myself.

    So how difficult is it to replace? From what I've been reading online it is
    suggested to 'hire a professional' (whatever that means) because it is very
    difficult to replace. And the last thing I want to do is break the phone
    completely. Has anyone in this group ever had to replace their casing and
    was it hard/easy?

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    P.S. This
    (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=3521
    4) is an item that I found on eBay. Is it worth the cost?

    Re: How difficult is it to replace the casing on my i95cl?

    The housing you are looking at on ebay is actually a clear housing that has
    been spray painted on the inside, making the outside appear silver. It is a
    very common style case and looks pretty good, if you want a silver phone.
    The seller is very reputable, I have bought from him, and the price is
    normal for that item.
    As far as doing the swap yourself ........... without knowing you or your
    abilities, I would not suggest you do it yourself. Aside from the technical
    ability needed, the risk of a first timer ruining the phone by tearing the
    ribbon or damaging the LCD is very high. I do several case swaps a week and
    I can offer you my services if you are interested. I charge $45 for the case
    swaps and this includes Priority shipping back to you.
    Let me know if I can help you .......... [email protected]
