I'm assuming you mean the faceplates etc. that are attached to the phone?

Sprint currently has no plans of selling those.

yeah...awesome way to void your warranty...you can do it in style when I point to the door and tell you that your phone doesnt have a warranty because you changed the face and broke the wire for the speaker

Yeah, once again Draggar is right. Sorry, no faceplates from Sprint.

However, I have seen pictures of the new Sanyo with different faceplate covers. Someone posted it in this forum recently.

u can get the faces from a few online stores

pesonaly i think that if ur phone does get somthing wrong with it just put the stock one back no and they wont know when u take it back

currupt247 · 10-11-2004, 01:57 PM

no u dont understand i thought they were releasing the full cases that u could buy and then have a brand new case (which by the way would be genious) i was going to buy them and paint them like my phone so prettyly is and sell them to ya'lls but draggar but a dagger through that one

Well changing the cases void the phones warrenty. Sprint does not want alot of people taking their phones apart and breaking them in an attempt to change the casing of the phone. Most people would just put the phone back together and tell Sprint they need a new phone because they broke it trying to swap out the case. Swapping cases on phones is fairly complicated it you do it right. That is being grounded, having all the proper tools, protecting lcds, etc... Even if they did sell the cases they would not want their techs risking damage to 350 dollar phones just to switch out the phones casing.
