ok thats not oem so it will crack, scratch, and get chewed up and knicked easily... i wouldnt pay more than 5 bucks for that version myself.... and it isnt too hard to tell the truth but it does void all warrenty and insurance claims through your provider unless you claim through insurance like asurion.

yeah it says htc but it doesnt have a service provider name on the shell and without that its not oem... and if you notice in the auction also he doesnt add that it is oem and non oem stuff from ebay can never be trusted unless it is a brand that you have used before like seidio.

you odnt need it to say sprint.... you would need it to say sprint, alltel, verizon, bell, etc...... any cdma version would work. and look in the auctions for it to say cdma oem.

post the links here and i will look and tell you if it is oem or not.... the non oem ones are garbage as said before and will not only feel really weak but will crack and discolor easily.

even though its from hong kong i read through the listing and the user said it was taken straight form a phone so on that one you should be straight because of course all phones come with the oem housings.
