    FYI, its a royal pain in the *** and not worth it, its really easy to screw up the headphone jack, camera, trackball, etc. not really worth it for a simple cover change.

    Yeh, that's a project I wouldn't think of trying. But I'm in awe of people who are comfortable doing that stuff!

    Ive did it 3 times...im waiting for solid black bezel to arrive which will make it a 4th take apart put together..
    Top button were a little tricky to get of original to replacement.
    Side button were a peace of cake.After taking mine out I let them soak in Superclean for 3 days chrome striped of now their black.
    Removing Carrier plastic peace at bottom peace of cake.

    Slingbox I think your talking whole housing, I'm just talking bezel and its really not a big project guys. Few plastic clips, few torq screws, and a few ribbon cables. Only issue is top lock and mute buttons

    Its beyond me how you would screw up the camera and headphone jack unless your force the housing together. And as for the trackball there's not much to screw up.

    Those two buttons are the top lock and the mute buttons right? The actual button pads? Howd you get yours off? That's the only part I'm skeptical about.

    I'm waiting for my order from cnn.cn to come in:
    Black Bezel
    Black Unbranded Bottom
    Red w/ Chrome Trackball

    Going for the black with a few chrome accents and the red to match the key pad and end call button.

    No problem.

    I also recommend using new T6 screws.
    I striped out top right screw a few weeks ago and it wasn't very fun to remove.
    I had to snap screw by prying up bezel..not good at all

    Were I get them

    You'll get sick of it, and as for me I'm kind of a unique person I like my stuff to not be so generic. You guys are telling me you don't buy parts for your car and customize that? Why not do the same with your berry?

    I've ordered parts for a KRZR and storm from cnn and have been happy with results just long shipping (china to massachusetts) and if you need to get a hold of em you might have trouble (which ill blame on language barriers and whatever else), no big deal to me.

    That's a work of art Sling! Black side buttons and ear speaker screen are like the cherry on the sundae too.

    Nice job brotha.

    It would really be "stealth" if you could black out the chrome bars that line the keyboard. Now that everything else is black those bars stick out like a sore thumb!
