I bought this for my Dell Studio 1537 that was in very bad shape because of a broken/wore off hinge in the power button side. I have to say that this cover comes with every cable nicely arranged and ready to assemble. If you follow the instructions that you can find in youtube, you can do it yourself (I did), though it takes patience and basic assembly/disassembly skills.The cover fits perfectly with the rest of the case and it definitely looks good. The bezel is just the original (silver) color, and the cover is black (mine was blue originally).Why 3/5 stars?a) Well, the product didn't arrive on time; initially was friday night, and I got it on monday afternoon, wich wouldn't be that bad except for the fact that they didn't update the status of the shipment and it always showed the original ETA. So, it definitely was kind of annoying to wait without knowing what to wait for. Oh, and since they didn't update the details of the shipment, the deadline to return/refund showed: Sunday. Certainly something that I didn't need to see.b) Finally the product -as other customers mentioned before- doesn't provide a perfect fit for the screen. The camera is placed perfectly fine, but the screen sits a bit low and to the right (offset?), at least for the studo 1537. Now the screen is a little off place but in my case it's still a better deal than what I have. It closes just fine and you can't tell anything is wrong from the back.I hope it helps if you are unsure about getting this. If you don't care about the issue with the screen, then this will work for you. If not, keep looking

Dell Studio 1535 case replacement
I recently purchased this item to replace my previous case for a studio 1535 which was both cracked around the hinge area and the on button cables were torn. The replacement was easy following the instructions from partspeople.com. It took about 1.5 hours, the only problem is that the front bezel didnt fit perfectly around the lcd screen, there is about a 2mm of lcd frame visible at the top and .2mm of the bottom covered by the case. This is something I can live with though the reason for the 4/5 rating. The case now feels sturdy and similar to when I originally purchase my laptop when opening and closing the screen. For the price also it was a very good deal especially with prime 2 day shipping compared to the partspeople.com price.Just a small note, screws for the hinges that connect to the base of the laptop did not come with this, in case you are missing those

... replaced my broken hinged cover with this and it's nice to have an attractive functioning cover again
I replaced my broken hinged cover with this and it's nice to have an attractive functioning cover again. But, the screen opening was about an 1/8" off to the left and up from my original frame. It was covering part of the LCD, so I very carefully trimmed the plastic on two sides to fit my display.

Worked
It is definitely an upgrade from a broken lid and it came with the cords that somehow got torn inside the cover, the tiny multi colored ones. As others mentioned the cover doesn't match up with the display, about an eighth of an inch off on the left side and along the top, so a little of the bottom and right side display is cutoff. I can live with it for the price and having a working computer. The webcam does match up though thankfully. Buttons worked, completely functional, not completely aesthetic.

Great buy
The item arrived really fast and well packed. Unfortunatly I baught the hinges separately because I did not know it is included. Assembling it was pretty simple. YouTube offers great videos that show how to do it step by step.After putting the bezel on I noticed it does not fit 100% but it's good enough for me. I saved a lot of money with that purchase. Bottom line - if you can handle allembling parts on your laptop by yourself, or if you have someone else to do it for you - RECOMMENDED.

Quick delivery, high quality, perfect fit
This replacement part arrived in 2 days. It fit my Studio 1535 perfect. Took me about 2 hours to install. The advertizing however didn't really indicate that the left and right switches were included but the pictures did show the switches which were the main parts I really needed.

Fit really well
The assembly was a bit tricky. We found a video online to help with the assembly. Make sure you have another laptop while you take off the parts apart. But the end finish was good enough though the lid didn't sit perfectly well.
