Can everyone who bought a V400/V500 Faceplate or Housing post some info about it, where you bought it, quality and maybe some pics?

i bought my daughter's from daydeal.com via ebay. the quality is chinese - i would rate it "okay", but i don't think anyone except moto makes high quality full housing's for the v400. i didn't use the keypad because the contact for the flip open/closed switch didn't look very substantial or reliable. as i read other posts, i came away with the idea that the keypads are generally poor: either they had the issue mine did or the side buttons don't work reliably, but maybe i'm over-reacting. no instructions are provided, so without hofo, these guys wouldn't be selling very many of these.

this post/thread will get you started, but doesn't really explain how to open the flip which is an incredibly important step. read the posts near the bottom of this thread's first page by shoman94 to learn the safe and easy way to accomplish that.

Tnx for the info, already opened my phone, was kinda easy

Do you have a extended battery cover? some say that you can tell daydeal to mail you a normal battery cover, is it true?

it came with an extended battery cover, and the snn5705b battery fits just fine. i didn't ask about a regular cover because i wanted to be able to use an extended battery.
