Does anyone know of any reliable aftermarket curve housings? I would like to make my curve a different color than crimson or gray and was just wondering if anybody was making aftermarket housings? I've seen this done with other phones quite a bit but can't find any for the curve. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the replies, but I already know about cnn.cn. I was just wondering if there was any place that made aftermarket housings in an assortment of colors. Not just red and gray. But after searching the internet, I have come to the conclusion that there isn't such a place.

Something like THIS is what I am looking for but for the blackberry

lol daydeal products are soo cheaply made i wouldnt put their stuff on my phone again! bad experience when i had nextel and was doing case changes for people and was buying most of my product thru daydeal cuz they were inexpensive
yuck i hate daydeal....

side note
stupid question but are 8310 housings compatible to the 8320?
i wanna make mines red

CNN.cn sells OEM stuff, therefore, it is the best, but you're limited to the colors that RIM has produced.

Do not buy the cheaply made aftermarket stuff that is out there. The fit/form/function is never as good and you'll ultimately be making your $200+ phone look like a $15 plastic toy.

You could also go with the vinyl approach. Do a search on ebay for "Blackberry Skin" there are a couple people that come up and they sell the sticker type of cover for the phones. That will change the color and add a pattern too, if you so choose.

My wife has one of these on her phone. It looks pretty good and has saved her phone from quit a few bumps and scratches.

thanks for the cnn.cn link. Im going to order the red housing

[taimaishuu916]

Will this fit the 8310?

BlackBerry Curve 8320 OEM Emerald Black faceplate w/ lens- 3G, BenQ-Siemens, Mobiado, Apple, Alcatel, NEC, Motorola, Accessories Store, Nok

8300, 8310, 8320 are all the same body.
8330 is a different body therefore things will not fit. Found out the hard way lol

[taimaishuu916]

Ahaha we learn from our mistakes right? Guess i will jump the gun on the housing. Thanks!

[aacosta911]

how hard is it to put on the aftermarket housing?

[j0hnnyv]

definately use cnn.cn, their service is amazing and their standard shipping from hong kong will take around 2 weeks to get to you in the states.

Aacosta: there is youtube videos how to pry it off. The only tool you need is a small screw driver to remove 2 screws in the back inside the battery housing. Its called a Torque 5 T5 torque driver but there is many small screwdriver tools that can to do it. You take the bottom bumper with your carrier logo like "tmobile" on with your hands, its possible I have done it. I then used a credit card to slide around the sides to pop the front loose once the screws were out. It isnt super easy but it can be done without breaking or harming anything. Follow the youtube tutorial and there is a picture tutorial if you google you shall find it.

Good luck!

[taimaishuu916]

Thanks for the info!

[divacheri]

have you looked at mygelskin.com? I love mine. Also its pricey but you could go to Colorware - Smart Phones

good luck!

So I can use the 8320 housings on cnn.cn on my 8310? You would think that they would group them together so people would recognize that. I might go gold then...
