Hi,
I had troubles with my Trinity screen several times, and ordered screens from different vendors on eBay.
Some vendors are proposing very cheap screens with poor contrast, nothing like the orginal.
I finally found one vendor who provides good quality screens, and suggest to whomever is looking for one to go to that one: ebay id: joeweiderx
and yes, I'm not the vendor, but just giving you a tip that will save you money ordering screens several times like I did.
you put your thread in the wrong forum! Might want to change this...
I think the rule of thumb is to go with the same screen (not a replica product). They are easy to find. I got a great screen from johnnyhs321
The first one came and it had an error, so he sent another and it was perfect. Easy.

This may be the wrong forum because my phone doesn't look like the icon for this board - if so, please could someone direct me towards the correct forum? My phone is an XDA Orbit.
Anyway, it came with a screen protector - which was a nice touch. The only problem is it's pretty poor (still better than nothing, mind). Can anyone suggest where, in the UK, to get a good one? I think I've used a Martin Fields one before and a Writeshield, but I can't remember how I liked either one since I don't remember which was which!
So, where can I get a good screen protector for an XDA Orbit in the UK?
I ordered mine over the net from Brando. It takes a while to arrive but the quality is good. I've got one each for my Charmer and Wizard, they ought to have one for your Orbit. It cost approx £7 (I think) including P&P.
Seach for the forum topic on screen protector and you'll get lovely recommendation from other members. There is another brand of srn pro that is heavily recommended by the members as well, not sure if you can get it in UK.
You can try eBay also if you want it fast. Just make sure you get the brand name right.
So Brando is an okay place for buying stuff in the UK then? Also, I suppose my main worry is that the XDA Orbit is the same screen dimensions the Artemis - I don't really understand, are they the same phone with a different shell? Is the Orbit a P3300?
The orbit is the HTC P3300 and you can also find screen protectors at gpsforless.co.uk

Well, I haven't really bought 1,000 stuff from Brando yet, but from my 2 experience with them, they are good in terms of speed (considering the process of it getting from HK to UK), packaging and quality of their product. I dont have an Orbit, but if you (and epmulligan) can confirmed that an Orbit is a P3300, then this ought to do the job . Dont worry about the picture showing you the Palm PPC. Check the words under the description on the compatible devices when ordering.
ANYWAY, chances are, if you were to buy a screen protector for a 240x320 device made by the same company, chances are, the size should be alright (e.g. chances are, the manufacturer will be using the same screen all over).
BTW, did you search the forum for other advises. There are some other brand which the members here also recommended. See if they have Orbit specific ones and probably UK delivery.
UPDATE: I had a look at the screen protector offered at gpsforless for Orbit, which is a 12 pack for £5.99. I've tried some similar 3 pack set from someone from ebay and the quality is REALLY different. Hence, I would advise you not to get it from there.
Thanks for the advice guys, very helpful.
If you don't mind waiting a few days for delivery from the USA the Boxwave Cleartouch Crystal is second to none. I used these on my XDA2i and now on my Orbit.

I got mine from this ebay seller dx_accessories
He sells the multi layer stuff and I can confirm it does work. Two main differences from the O2 supplied protector. 1, the top layer is much harder and much more resistant to scratch. It is also smooth (glossy finish) and the stylus glides over it with ease (not the case with the O2 protector). 2, the so-called 'gel' layer that adheres itself to the screen works brilliantly. It left zero air bubble with very small effort. I spent 15 mins getting dust and air bubble out of the O2, this I spent 1 min getting the screen squeaky clean and it sticks on to it perfectly. The size is also perfect, leaving no more than 0.3 mm to any side.
The only problem I have is the glossy finish, making the screen a bit more difficult to see under strong light. I own a Wizard and had a similar protector for similar price but with a matte finish like a normal LCD monitor.
It comes with a screen wipe which is handy. I won't complain for GBP4 all in.

Looked for him and it apears he has nothing at all on sale at all at the moment.
I remembered where I got my writeshield from - globalpositioningsystems.co.uk so I spoke to them on the phone, found the one for the Orbit and ordered it. I just figured I'd stick with what I know because I was satisfied with it before. The main reason I chose this was because the guy on the phone could guarantee me it would fit the device.
I bought mine at http://search.stores.ebay.es/DuraSe...sooZ1QQfsopZ1QQftsZ2QQsaselZ136025443QQsofpZ0
Very quick and impressive quality.
Regards
It turns out the person I spoke to at globalpositioningsystems.co.uk was wrong. The writeshield they told me to get is too big...
for my lg e980
i found this at ebay and its good to buy it ?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/201266543439?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
thanks !
IMO one reliable seller is repairuniverse.com. I recently just purchase a screen from them. Not only did it arrive within 3 days, the package even came with the prying tool and the double sided adhesive. When you're buying the screen, one thing you should be worry about is the quality of the replacement. That's is why you should always get the replacement from a reputable seller like repairuniverse.com. Also you should know I'm not in anyway affiliate with repairuniverse.com. This is my first purchase with them. I read about them on xda forum's ogp how to replace the broken screen thread. I wasn't too sure at first because of many other people has gotten the counterfeit screens. After I read many good things about repairuniverse, I decided to gave them a go, and I knew I made a right decision when I saw how good the replacement screen looked. You can also try another seller etradesupply.com. There are also many good review about them, and the only reason I didn't go with them was the postage. Otherwise, they are also reputable according to all the reviews I've read.
I just purchased a back cover for my Z3C and noticed that it covers the camera lens too. That's a nice feature considering so many have scratched their lenses.
And it goes without saying, I DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY! Just trying to share the deal I got.
http://www.xtremeguard.com/
I got in on this for another phone but didn't see anything for the z3c, otherwise i would have ordered something for the back
Guess my brain wasn't working that day, just found it. This will be perfect for the back plus better grip. Ive used these in the past with great results
thanks for sharing! just ordered one too!
does it fit with devilcase?
I don't see why it wouldn't. It's just a thin piece of tpu
Sent from my Xperia Z3 Compact
Nice!
Thanks for the heads up!
These were so cheap, I purchased two of them. I've noticed that these films tend to yellow over time, and it really shows on a white phone.

Now that you mention it, I recall the yellowing from past use
On a side note, I got an email today for 91% off the entire site. Will have to place an order today

I hope not, I really like their protectors; mainly for the back. However they do need to work on the yellowing issue as you mentioned.
Also they just came out with their spartan glass screen protectors. Really hard to say, what's going on but I'm not complaining
Will have to stock up on a few items just in case
Edit: Just went to their page and saw that they now offer lifetime warranty on their protectors, granted most will update at least every 2 years I imagine. So the warranty is kind of pointless; good marketing scheme though. Also looks like they are starting to offer more products overall. So I'm not sure why the low prices, maybe to stay competitive?
EDIT 2: maybe you are right, just reread the email and says "*Limited quantities are available in tempered glass and other accessories by XtremeGuard. These products will only be available while supplies last"
Sorry to double post but wanted this separate from my last post.
I believe this code is good for more than 1 use; so anyone wanting to use it on the site is more than welcome. I just ordered a bunch of protectors, etc for various devices we have.
price comes out to dirt cheap.
91% off 2-15 items storewide: BEACH91 enjoy! At this price, you can't go wrong
otherwise they still have their summer80 off.

Nice find! Thanks for the info.
Soo here it goes....a few days ago I dropped my phone vertically ie headphone jack side straight to the ground while I was using it(Thanks to my slippery hands) and now the screen has shattered a little on the bottom around the fingerprint area but everything is fine touch works display works its just the glass above it cracked, I went to a local shop nearby (I dont think going to a lenovo service center with a shattered screen will help as it can only shatter my pocket) and they reckoned it to be around 2400rs or 37$ for a 99% copy I guess and 800rs extra or around 50$ for a original one so I did a little research online and found I can get one display with lcd for as low as 19.60$ on alixpress,I'm confused between these three ones this one's 19$ but no customer or seller reviews but with slight fast shipping in just 15-25 days(https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32856511836.html), other two are about 24$(One's 23.16$ another is 24.20$)with good rating and orders and normal 30 days shipping (https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32796869178.html)(https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32825740296.html) if you have any other suggestions or experience buying one its most welcome, now coming to the tutorial part this one seems legit the best one I found (https://youtu.be/-osJu7OMxVk)this chinese forum post had one guy do it and posted about 100+ pics while replacing it but now I can't seem to open it anymore :crying: (http://bbs.lenovomobile.cn/z2/t260432/) here too if you get any better ones please suggest also there are a tons of teardown videos too if someone can make me understand lol,I'm a noob when it comes to replacements,teardown things and my first time and I have to make sure not to **** up as I can't buy another phone for at least a year,the post I made is lengthy with every details is because some day someone else will be in the same spot and I hope this post comes to their help too...
Now I need answers to these-
1)Can I do it myself or should I get it done for almost the double price considering this will be my first time doing this.
2)The best choice among the lcd+digitalizer according to you
3)A suitable tutorial to do it myself at home
Thanks a lot

Get only the glass replaced by a professional, no need to change the display. It'll cost less than ₹1,000
IF its possible change only digitizer
But that operation cannot be done without special tools for heating etc, putting back can be tricky
As for buying new screen, see if you can find on your local advertising sites some Z2 with dead motherboard
Original is always best
If you buy from Ali, buy the most expensive one because those cheaper can destroy your experience with the phone...

I haven't tried to even dissemble any mobile yet so replacing just the digitalizer as said by many is too hard without the required tools and I have none of them I'll try asking any professional once again if not I have to go for aliexpress for the lcd and digitalizer as it can done at home

Also be aware of the fingerprint scanner. I think that should he also disassembled, or ask seller does it have fingerprint scanner with lcd... Read about that
If you don't have experience, I would say go with the service center. Opening this phone can be tricky.
So...I polished my HWatch a little too much and wore off part of the bezel.....In my incessant searching, I found this.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...3489-4c2a-acd6-843db467ef02&priceBeautifyAB=0
I hope this helps anyone looking for a replacement bezel / screen. I purchased one myself....waiting for delivery. However, it does not come with a side button. I plan on using mine....but have no idea how to place it on the new bezel. The seller indicates one needs a professional tool, but does not specify what.
Update: They indicate that they have cases with the button. I'm looking forward to replacing my beat up one. $14 for a shiny new watch, can't be beat!
Thanks for your suggestions. May i see what damage have you done to your bezels? Just out of curiosity
Thanks for the information! The contact points on the back of my HW are completely burned. I ordered replacement case + back for $10, allowing me to repair!

https://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_nkw...+1.TRS0&_osacat=0&_odkw=huawei+watch+1+screen
Bought a new screen due to burn in, but I can't seem to separate the screen from the frame.
I'm sure there used to be an ifixit teardown for this watch (that I followed when I changed the battery a few years ago, but it's not there anymore!
Any ideas how to get the screen out?
