Open Flip Remove the 4 Protective Covers & Screws
Slowly and Gently Pry the Fron Faceplate Off of the Phone
Theres the nice ribbon cable connecting to the front buttons so go slow
You will notice once youve done that looking at the underside of the face you will see the tabs holding the original face cover in place
push them inward
doing so will allow you to remove the Blue Verizon branded cover and to install your new cover

Good Luck

I just like change once in a while
the black looks nice and I'm able to get Verizons advertising off the phone
Wonder what the US Cellular Model will look like
Red Perhaps?

I love the blue, and would hate to possibly break the phone by putting on a (probably cheaply made) cover.

It really Depends on Where Sellers Get Faceplates Some are good quality Others... Well not worth the 2 cents they charge for them
Ive Gotten Faceplate from Many Different Sellers on Ebay Aside from Some Not Fitting Correctly Some Feeling as If they will break as soon as the phone gets dropped
I havent found Any I would buy from
Regarding Where to buy I got Mine from a friend who was at the China Electronics show
Usually once they are there its only a matter of time

Okay, Thanks VZW_Midwest for the info on faceplates 😁
I just drove to Day Deal and got two faceplates and wanted to let you all know what they're like. (Luckily for me Day Deal is in El Monte, California.. -a suburb of Los Angeles-) 😉
I got this one

as well as a blue flashing battery http://www.daydeal.com/LG_LG_VX6100_Accessori es_LG_VX6100_LED_Flashing_Batteries-p-1-c-141 3.html
So, these faceplates are made in China and the plastic seems only slightly weaker (possibly thinner) than the original LG faceplate. But they're still strong enough to withstand a...

just a heads up if you tinker with your phone like replacing the casing they are not going to waranty it for you if it breaks! also be careful, must of those faceplates are of poor quality! You don't want your 350 dollar phone to look like you spray painted it!

I would never replace my faceplate for fear of breaking the original in doing so or screwing up the phone, and I think they all look so cheap, plus I like the blue. If you do try it, though, and are concerned with your warranty, all you would need to do is put the original back on if you ever needed to take it in for repair/replacement.

i got the clear blue and its a nice change.it lights up all different now when it rings.i also blacked out the window with the disco lights no more goofy disco lights. and no harm came to the phone no lightning struck me !
im not sure what you kids are afraid of adventure?
change? and as for warranty you put the old cover back on just like mary said shes coo an stuff and seems to understand some of us need to explore.and yes some of the covers look a little goofy i admit not for everyone i just get bored easy.
