Joined just to bumo this thread. I bought a used Micro since even though the faceplate was scratched up, the screen itself underneath was perfect, which was no a problem considering the main design and selling point of the entire system was the removable faceplate.

Little did I know, FACEPLATES DO NOT EXIST FOR THIS DEVICE! I've checked everywhere, and I honestly don't care about design, color, or anything apart from it being new or at least free of blemish. If anyone has any faceplates they can sell me, please let me know.

What's the point? It's out of stock.

Might as well give up. They are super hard to find. The GBM didn't last long, so they stopped making them pretty fast. The ones that exist have been long sold...

Your best bet is buying a GBM with 3 faceplates (of which 2 most probably unused) on eBay...

I doubt that it will be restocked considering it's been out of production for a number of years.
