Is it easy to change the cover on this phone? It comes with no intructions, I'm just fed up of the grey one I have now!

No it's not easy-peasy, it's a bit fiddly. There are disassembly guides posted elsewhere (google them).

But I don't recommend changing the housing unless you have to 'cos of damage. These housings on eBay are aftermarket knock-offs by third party manufacturers & won't be as good quality as the original SE housing.

Also when you remove the housing, inevitably some dust will be introduced. The factory assembly is done in a controlled dust-free environment.

& The back of the screen lens of the original SE front housing will have foam edging to stop dust getting in onto the screen. Probably these replica housings won't have the foam edging to protect around the screen, so it won't be as dustproof as the original SE housing.

Can you not learn to love the grey?
