there are no genuine housings out there, unless they actually took apart the phone, but it'd cost a hell of a lot more.

I bought one of these, although it looks genuine in the first glance it's not. In fact Sony Ericsson wasn't spelt right on the one I got!

Not so. It is possible to by OEM housings, I have done so myself from my local phone repair store. However there are also non-genuine housings available, some good quality, some utter crap and not even worth the small amount of money you pay for them.

Like the black K700i housing I bought 3yrs ago. Matt black (not gloss) and didn't fit properly.
