Looks sweet I got a rattle can kit with primer clear n a can of color changin chameleon paint I cud paint mine with so it wud change colors as the sun hit it n how many coats I'd put on but only thing stopin me is I don't wanna take it apart n get dust under the screen u pulled urs apart didn't u?

[symptomsofy0u]

yes ive taken my blackberry apart soo many times! lol if you get dust on it just wipe or blow it off. i make sure that i clean the screen pretty good before i put the screen back on or the housing back on... i want everything to look as clean and new as possible =]

popping off the faceplate is harder than it looks. cause on the sides, there are little hooks in the middle and towards the bottom that attatch itself to the metal frame on the screen. you'll see what im talking about when youre actually doing it. but just be careful and you will be fine... its well worth it =]

all i had to do was make a few tiny adjustments to my screen and the housing so that the keypad would fit perfectly. i had no problem at all =]

[BlackBerryBob]

[agula001]

Congrats!! you finally did it! looks great. do you have any problems pushing on the menu keys or do they press nicely?

[symptomsofy0u]

aahahaha thats just my temporary one until my CLear Protector screen comes =]


and the keys press perfectly, no problems at all. all i did was a little filing, no cutting. it was real easy
