360 Looking for spare parts - Specifically the Cover

askyn · 03-06-2011, 02:36 PM

Hi all /wave

Im going to be attempting a project here in the near future, and I was wondering if anyone has a broken / nonfunctional PB360?

Specifically, Im looking for the removeable front cover. Im going to need a couple I think.

Im going to experiment on a custom cover for it ( yeah I know, not really needed with the cover etc .. its for fun =), so if anyone has a cover or two they arent useing, or knows if I can get couple from some were pleast let me know.

Thank you

you could try asking in the broken screen thread

Is this "glass breakeage" or manufacturer's defect? (judging from the picture)

For your first attempts you can play with a standard Jewel CD case, the PB fits its dimensions almost perfectly.

I was thinking of being able to fix the cover to the back of the custom case such that could "snap" it in place.

I would then be able to flip it around when i want to read, and back around for storage, so as to protect the screen etc.

I'm not sure I'd trust the cover's grip to safely hold the 360 in place indefinitely. Not if you're going to be flipping it around regularly; it's just a hard plastic friction grip.
Why not just use industrial strength velcro along the 360's rear "slot"?
That's how I hold my (much heavier) IQ in place. And it's both cheap and readily available. I use two strips for the IQ, so one should suffice for the 360.
