    I wish I could help you but I'm keeping my old m9750 for my wife.

    Can you get one from A.W. or Ztronics?

    I don't know for sure if it fit's but looking at my m9750 and M17, it appears to be the same.

    Go to the resellers store or contact himif you don't see the hinges. It looks like he has a lot of A.W. parts.

    I just bought one for a spare. At $19 and free shipping why not?

    EDIT: Be aware though, it doesn't look like the Alien head is included. It's just the lid shell.

    Yeah,

    That's what I was thinking. I can play around without screwing up my lid.

    all you do need is the back panel ... the green one was all i needed and it was cheap

    the only blue one they had was the 50 dollar one with the webcam and the hindges but i had to pay for it all to get it so i did

    Like Rob says, for a future project that would be awesome. Or like whizzo says, paint a sweet design.

    I wonder what happened with that dude that wanted that design painted on his. He was looking for the hi-res images of the mALX. That would look pretty awesome with the Ripley cover.
