Thumbs up Bold 9000 Black Bezel w/buttons from Pmonmon (EBAY)

Hi Community!

Below I'd like to share with you my first impressions/review of the Black Bezel w/buttons and Bottom cover from Ebay seller Pmonmon.

I would like to start with pictures of how you receive the product and what you get in the box. All pictured below:
Included: Bezel, buttons, bottom cover, mesh installed on top speaker port.

Now lets get down to business. This Bezel is a PAINTED OEM Bezel therefore there WILL be imperfections to some level. Let's see what we have:

Now that we see the imperfections lets install it and see how many of them are visible once installed:



Now that the Bezel is installed lets talk job quality. Fitment was great, zero difference from installing an OEM Bezel other than the fact that you have to be careful with your screw driver or any other sharp object around this Bezel. Keep in mind, its painted. The paint did not create any wobble or fitment issues with the buttons or other parts. Overall worth the money, Can it be better yes, for $25 is it worth it, YES. With all this said, I will let you admire the pictures and let you be the judge of spending your money or not. I hope everyone enjoys this and finds it helpful in making your decision. Please make sure to read my disclaimer below as it explains A LOT.

DISCLAIMER: I am a VERY picky SOB who likes to review products and picture exactly what my eyes see. That way I can portray to the reader EXACTLY what they will get when they order the product. Some say being picky is bad, I say "your shirt has a stain".

Unfortunately that is a question that will have to be answered by someone who has one from CNN, I don't and therefore cant compare the 2. But i think with my quality of pictures someone who does have one from CNN can do a fair comparison.

I actually ordered this the other day. Not sure If I like it though. The bezel has more of a matte black look instead of glossy.

I really appreciate the review I've been debating on ordering everything separate or something like this and I think you have helped the decision. Many thanks bro!

Well I made this thread as a "first impressions/unboxing" because I just installed it yesterday. Later in the week ill be able to judge a little better, so far so good but who knows what will happen. I'll be reporting back with a usage review. As for overall quality based on initial installation, I'd have to say it is about a 9/10 only because of the imperfections. Honestly they are not an eye sore because the finish is matte and therefore hides them. A polished finish would be a different story.
