Replace TI 84+ exterior?
« on: September 14, 2014, 01:04:15 pm »
My 84 is getting old and battered, and is starting to bother me. The calc slides right out of the case when held upside down and is missing a couple rubber grips. Is there somewhere I can buy a new casing (and grips)? I did this for my nintendo ds lite a while ago and I'd like to do it to my calc.

For the sliding case, you can also buy one that is not monotone like this one for example (not the most beautiful but the first one I found).
I own: 83+ ; 84+SE ; 76.fr ; CX CAS ; Prizm ; 84+CSE
Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

I am surprised TI isn't charging $129.99 for each part. But yeah that would be the best place.

Hmm... Is there any way to replace the whole outside though?

np. Do know you need a torx 6 screwdriver to open the calculator case!

If you have a tri-wing, it will work too. Just don't screw and unscrew with it too often or it will strip.
