Finally got my orange coloured facia for a K750i, thought it was something a bit different! Despite it's slight problems and things I love it, think it looks really quite good! 
It was described on Ebay as being a 'genuine' item, but it isn't... but still not too bad a fit, though had to use the old mid-chassis as the one that came with the orange facia was a bit cheap and flimsy, and have heard stories of malfunctioning speakers, aerials etc. when fitted to non-gen facia.
Some pictures:
Note the slightly wonky 'quickshare' sticker!
The back:
As you can see, it does have the '2 Megapixels' text on the back, just not quite as obvious as a genuine facia:
Fit not quite too good here, but overall think the facia looks great, love the orange keys too!
What do you think - good, bad, indifferent?

It's strange indeed as we've only seen red, silver and black. Anyways, congrats!
Btw, i made a thread for these cases: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=141492

@samboy - Yeah there is really NO original orange-fascia for the K750 model fone dude 
But what you have is very appealing . . .
Now your fone reallylooks like a candy 
Congrats on the hard-work !

It looks great, but it is too girly for me.

I agree with JoJo it really looks like original. I've seen many horrible copies, but this one looks real.

@sally - Yeah . . I even tried using a magnifying glass on my PC's LCD - monitor to meticulously check on the letterings of Sony Ericsson - logo (too) at the back . . . really looks like the real thing !

Cost £9.99 off Ebay. A few things make me think it's a very high quality copy rather than genuine, and the mid-chassis is decidedly non-gen! I'll try posting some comparison pics tomorrow.
I've never seen any orange facias either, except maybe some cheap and nasty ones!
@antichrist - how about a 'go-faster' stripe?

I'm currently just finding a nice orange-coloured theme to go on the phone from Esato's free themes, found a couple of good candidates!

All you need now is w800 middle panel of the housing and w800 firmware and you have COMPLETE ORANGE Walkman W750 . It's great!
