REMOVING FRONT:
It is much easier than i thought it would be. Take off the back cover, there are then clips 3 on each side of the phone, and 1 in each corner. Pull these back one at a time, and push down slightly on them. when the side ones are release get finger nail between front cover and side of phone and prise apart. If the bottom doesn't come out, release the clips using a small screwdriver.
Once the bottom half of phone is loose, pull it away and upwards and the top should then unclip.
REMOVING TOP BACK:
Once the front is off, you will see 2 screws above the LCD screen. Take these out using a t6 torx screwdriver. Then unclip the same way as the front, and slide the back bit upwards.
Put the new covers on, and remember to put the screws back in, as well as the buttons

It reads so nice but it is difficult to perform though because inserting da finger nail or screw driver in phone might cause physical damage which i am sure you dont want before taking off any cover take da camera cover it is fixed by side clips on each side of da bottom of camera cover caution these clips are fragile dont break them once da clips are pulled slid da cover up then you will see da clips for da front cover take then off carefully as well 1clip on each side and replace da housing but take care.

no problem, where did you get the case from? I bought a cheap one of ebay and it was pretty poor, paint soon chipped off, battery cover was very loose and the top part didn't fit properly. In the end i just used the front cover, but once paint started to chip i removed it, also the words sony ericsson above the screen looked like they had been written on by a child

its easy - if you know where to remove the clips etc, ive done one, and they're are times where you need to put a little stress on the clips and you think they'll snap - they dont...
you need the screwdriver as well...not too much and most people sell them with the replacement covers on ebay |

You can always do as my father did when he got dust under the screen on his k700, use a to big screwdriver and open it with force so that all the clips broke, use adhesive tape to put it back togehter, looks very nice

@madnezz - Might as well just bring the cover and your fone to the  Service Center pal, as they are the expert in replacing the fone's covers etc.  Good Luck !
