Treo 180 NL (No lid)...

The Original Factory shipped look........

















The new modified face Plate with built in speaker, to get rid of the flip cover






























The new Blackberry look- New Avtaar Treo 180 NL (NO LID)



















The back side need a bit more work to make it bit more secure for the inevitable falls.


















It took me 3-4 hours to finish this job with lot of back and forth repairing and redoing the joining of the 2 plastic peices (the new extension + the face plate) i used a jagged aluminium strip reinforcement embedded into the joint for further strength. The upper portion is from the redundent flip cover itself to retain the logo . The silver paint job was a compromise as i had some left over paint lying with me , further more didn't had time to go and buy the matching shade. A lot of plastic from the flip cover was melted and fused to weld the 2 peices together useing the soldering irom , finally grindied and smoothened before painting so it loks almost seamless.
BTW i forgot to mention, this is done for my friend's phone who happen to break the flip cover of his new treo using Parry's old treo as the donor. though the entire thing needed couple ofhours but it took me couple of months to to find those precious hours- my sincere apologies to Sant ( My friend- the old style broken treo owner) for the delay!
