Accidentally dropped my Arc, and even though it was in its pull strap case when it happened, there is a small but noticeable chip now at the (top front right edge) of the phone. I notice it everytime I go to use my phone.

Can anyone tell me if they know if there is genuine replacement housing for the Arc at all? I have seen quite a few places selling the battery cover, but no so much the front housing for the Arc.


I had noticed one company on ebay selling front and back housing for the Arc for £23:95, and even though in the description it states it is genuine Sony Ericsson, I am not sure if this is the case, and do not want to end up with an inferior product.


Any info and help would be very much appreciated.

I wouldn't dare go for ebay as it will most likely be fake, the only time I did use it was for my K850i where the case was advertised at 'grade a' and was taken from returned phones only a week old, so they were genuine for sure.

Just checked the disassemble instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.c[....]tachmentid=625054&d=1308061171

looks pretty complex, depending on where the chip is, the chromed edge seems to come off easily enough but everything seems to be fixed to the front cover/screen...
