Mix It UP, Y'all

[RumoredNow]

I was inspired recently by this thread from Loco5150: http://forums.windowscentral.com/nokia-lumia-1520/331838-thinking-about-changing-cover-color.html

He had a white 1520 and wanted to swap to a black case... along the way I suggested he use the white buttons and trays in the black case. The result was very nice.

I thought it looked classy and should be called the "Tuxedo."

I was geeked to try something similar. My Yellow 1520.3 has black buttons... Add black trays and TaDa!!!!!

The white on black "tuxedo" was done by Loco5150 and the details are in his thread which I linked in the OP: http://forums.windowscentral.com/nokia-lumia-1520/331838-thinking-about-changing-cover-color.html I believe he started with a white 1520 and moved the components into a black case, borrowing the trays and buttons from the original white unit. See his thread for complete details.

The black on yellow "bumble bee" was much easier. I already had a yellow 1520.3 and noticed it had black buttons. I simply ordered these black trays from Amazon and swapped out my factory yellow trays. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUwpUvbUpU3013891

I have a white case, can I get the black buttons anywhere separately? And can I change the buttons only?

I'm pretty sure you have to buy a body to get the buttons.

so I just received my yellow L1520 international phone and took the sim + mem tray out of my black AT&T L1520 and decide to mix em! check out the pics I took, sorry for the bad quality as my SP3 takes horrible pictures!

Or, instead of being limited to a few colors, you could get yourself some painter's tape and a can of your favorite brand and color of spray paint and go nuts. You can even do glossy or matte, textured, chrome, primer gray, etc. The skys the limit.
