Replace your HTC Fuze glossy battery cover with the matte HTC Touch Pro version
The HTC Fuze features the same glossy battery cover as the HTC Touch Diamond, making the device a finger and smudge playground. Many have wondered, and now Raspster from XDA-Developers have confirmed the battery cover is in fact interchangeable with the much classier and matte version as found on the GSM HTC Touch Pro.
The cover is available from eXpansys for a pricy $29.99 (plus$2.50 for shipping) but who can put a price an practicality. Fortunately for WMPoweruser readers we offer eXpansys vouchers which brings the price down by around $15 (but you may need to spend around $31 to qualify however).

@rileyfreeman: I had no idea anyone would want the glossy one. Guess I will ebay it to see if I can recoup some of my expense.

For the Fuze, I have to say that I’d prefer to find a back that’s just flat/smooth/not diamondesque. Ideally, it would be double flat; flat in shape and flat in sheen. If anyone ever comes across one contact me: company dot contact at yahoo
thanks.

Can anyone who got this tell me how it looks? The “Details” tab on expansys’s listing of this indicates that it’s incompatible with the Fuze due to color differences. Is it a different color? If so, is it that bad? I REALLY want a matte back cover, but if it’s hideous or incompatible, I’ll pass.
Thanks in advance.
