- I just changed case first time ever, I used, "bestblackberryshop" on Ebay and had problems with cases. The first case had a damaged battery lid latch, no flash, scrap rubber spacer on speaker and rubber around silver button was deformed. The replacement case had bent clasps on case sides, the speaker had no rubber spacer. Between the two cases I managed to assembly but I recieved no help when asking about camera flash, neither of the new cases had flash and it appeared my old one had plastic poles that were not removable, any way, I ended up using my old internal frame as I was not comfortable trying to pull it out and as I saidYes, I searched, but came up empty handed....
How hard is it to change the housing on my 8330? Its not really the housing I want to change but I want a black keyboard (instead of the silver I have) and since I use an Otterbox Impact case, I really don't need the whole housing, but that seems to be the only way I can buy just a black keyboard is with the whole enchilada. How hard is it to do? I am fairly handy, but don't want to do it if I am taking a big chance in damaging my little buddy
bestblackberryshop would not answer my questions about it. I'm still waiting for a refund on postage that I paid to return their damaged first case. Note: the biggest obstacle in case replacement I had was taking apart the face as it is boned to foam rubber gasket to a thin metal frame going around internal screen, my metal frame bent and I had to carefully bend back with needle nose pliers, if you aren't mechanically skilled I would suggest you seek help from someone that is.

. I am wanting to get the whole front black. Since I have an Otterbox case, everything LOOKS black with the case on, and the only silver showing is the front where the keyboard is (The Otterbox covers the sides, top and bottom, but the keyboard area is still exposed. I hope I am making sense....I have a big can of Monster in front of me now so the caffeine should make me a little more verbal
