I'm interested in this as well. Someone wrote awhile back to just yank it off...

What kind of plate are you going to replace it with?

not that color mind you

so those 722 faceplates have a window in them and not just a blank? That's what I've been looking for.

so far i've been using a flathead screwdriver to carefully pry the oval up. might start heating up the adhesive first though. hope that helps!

I took it off on my buddies t730 very easily with a flathead screwdriver also.. just take it really slow

It comes off w/ a flathead screwdriver. I converted the front of my T720 to the new T730. When I scratched the T730 oval lens (I dropped it, luckily I bought 3 of them) I just pried it off and put on a new one. GOOD LUCK! Always keep a couple of X-tra lenses on hand, because you never know when you will scratch it!

Where can I get just the lens to the t730? I scratched min in the conversion of my t722i... long story, very stupid. Thanks all for your help!

You can only buy the lens from a dealer that sells Motorola parts. Motorola doesn't sell the product to anyone but dealers. I picked my 3 up from Phones Plus here in omaha for the T730 for $7.50 ea. If you need the part for the T722 you're in luck because I have the part # for it (PART# 6187718NO1) Hopefully that helps. Good luck!!!!

Anytime!!!!!!!!!.................... FYI the part # was for the Black insert (lens) for the T-722. I don't have the part # for the lens on the T-730 sorry.

That's cool.. I'm sure I can find it now that I know where to look.

Try warming it with a hair dryer. Don't get it too hot.
Really strong adhesive.
