deluded: very sorry for this LATE reply...
Got the spare Class A housing from the numerous Muslim traders here in our city. The modding is quite easy since you only need to cut a portion of the concerned wall that I mentioned in my previous posting. Instead of cutting the entire wall, just cut half of it since you only need to have a "way" for the sliding mechanism of the lens cover to pass thru it. Try to check the photo of the w800i chassis I posted and observe very well the said opening or "way". That's the only portion that you are to cut. I am telling you it's real easy and almost anyone can do it. Just be very careful and do the procedure slowly since you are cutting a portion that protects (the wall) the precious camera lens.
I shall try to post the picture of my very own chassis soon so that I could show you how it looked like after the "operation". That way, you could also get an idea on how you are going to do yours...
Ciao...

No worries, and thanks for your very helpful reply! Seems like a really interesting mod, I've seen the pictures you've posted, so I know what you're referring to regarding the modification to the housing. It'll be different for the K750 housing though, if I'm not wrong. No worries, I know some of us here on Esato have done it, so all I have to do is search! Thanks again!

@deluded:
Upon observation of my own fone’s scratches, I think the lens itself is not actually glass but quite of the ceramic glass quality. If it is of the typical glass type, it should not have easily developed the said scratches. Only ceramic quality glass gets scratched that easy. Please correct me if I’m wrong… I myself have done everything to protect my camera lens to no avail. That’s why I came up with this modding project for my fone. I don’t want the lens to be scratched again and again and lose its capabilities It was a pleasure “talking” with you under this forum. Good luck.
I am posting in a little while the step-by-step guideline of this mod project of mine... Please try to see it when you have the time. |

i use the same case(i don't think its good for the screen protection) which u use + this pouch
another small doubt:-
will keeping the phone in this pouch in any way scratch the lens? I have mine free from any foreign material and the surface of the pouch is very soft!

the "glass" is a polycarbonate type of material, neither ceramic or glass. It's tough, but not as hard as glass or ceramic. Polycarbonate is just an extra tough form of plastic. (used in quality sunglasses as a cheaper alternative to glass lenses)
Also the coating often gets scratched off before the plastic itself get's scratched. I know people with K750's who managed to scratch the lens also. I think the only solution is to use a case such as a phone sock, or a case that provides a deep whole (such as Reo's case) so that nothing can rub against the surface.

@deluded:
after my case modding, i have not added another scratch on my lens since then! seems its indeed effective. well, i will not "sacrifice" my chassis for nothing anyway lol. i bought some really cool "H&K" (thats the brand commonly available here) protective film for my screen and together with my modded back, it seems that i'm not having anymore "scratchy" problems. just to be cautious, my precious W810i stays "real alone" in my pocket (no coins, keys, whatever...).
im planning to give this to my 12-year old daughter in due time when i upgrade so i better take care of it...
yeah baby, Walkman rocks and i love my W810i!!!
@max:
thanks a lot, mate. the information you shared is simply wonderful...

Congratulations! Glad your mod has solved your problem. I'm not too worried about the scratches on my camera lens as it has not affected picture quality so far.
