DIY Treo 650 housing replacement
January 3, 2007 – 4:23 pm | by Azizi
Is your Treo 650 smartphone showing its age? My own Treo has plenty of scuffs and scratches — after all, it’s been heavily used (not to mention clumsily dropped many times) for almost 2 years. If you’re planning to use your Treo 650 for a while longer, why not get a replacement housing for it?
Brando sells the Treo 650 replacement housing for US$50. Please be aware that the replacement housing is not new, but rather used/refurbished. For the money, you get the following :
- One front cover
- One back cover
- One battery cover
- One middle chassis
- Keypads
So how do you change your own housing? Of course, it’s DIY. Thanks to Larry of PalmIsLife, Gear Diary has clear photos and translated instructions on how to do it. Based on the photos, it looks simple enough. If you’re not confident on doing it yourself, it’s best to get someone to do it for you — but it’s going to cost you more.

I don’t think you can buy it locally. I know some people bought the housing from Brando (brando.com.hk)
