Two Tone Nokia E61
Saturday, October 14th, 2006I can't get enough of Nokia E61 mods! I haven't gotten around to try it myself yet so I take great pleasure in looking at what other Nokia E61 owners have created.
Machani from British Columbia sent me an email with these pictures of a nice two tone Nokia E61. Machani writes:
I was particularly interested in modding my E61, without using paint. So I ordered a blue E61 housing kit from eBay (seller in Singapore). The housing I received was much darker in colour than the one pictured in eBay. In fact the blue housing is deep indigo blue.
I followed the excellent instructions here and was able to install the new housing without a problem. I did make a change, however, to the standard housing mod. Since I wanted to keep the original Nokia logo in the front and back, I used the original silver-grey front and back top covers with the new blue front and back housing.
Note: the front top cover with the Nokia logo can be separated from the front face plate by gently prying it open. There is a backing double sided tape thatholds the front top cover in place, but it can be separated quite easily.
When attaching the ORIGINAL front top cover to the NEW front housing, I recommend using some double-sided tape to keep the front top cover firmly in place on the front housing.
Thanks for sharing Machani!
