I've decided to refresh my beaten up 1520 when I found the shop near my house would do the screen replacement for $140. I'm also getting a new button ribbon since the camera button does not work (first press does but not shutter).

I'm kind of wishing I tried the screen myself as it looks rather easy from the teardown videos. With one torx 2 screw removed I was able to just pry the cover off with my fingernail.

Anyway, I wanted to change out the cover to make it all new and up the resale value when the 950XL comes out. Got tired of white so I think I'll switch out to black. I found this New Black Replacement Sim Card Holder Tray Slot Camera Lens for Nokia Lumia 1520 | eBay but was unsure as it's not listed as OEM. But I find it hard to believe there would be knock off parts for such a small market device.

Most other covers on the market seem to be the non AT&T variant with the charging coil. I'm guessing it doesn't matter so much?

Does anyone know of a good source for the cover, lens, sim tray and SD tray?
