SCH-i515 ANSWER (2/13/2012):
So after looking around and finding nothing cheaper than $220 for the replacement screen on GoUnlock.com, I registered for an account on Samsung.com, called up Samsung Mobile Support (+1-888-987-4357) and after talking to a support specialist, I was able to set up a repair order to send my phone to the Samsung Repair Center in Plano, TX, and the total cost (shipping + replacement screen) amounted to $163.46. Turnaround time was a little less than 2 weeks.

If you're in the USA, unfortunately Samsung will NOT Repair the International Version of the Galaxy Nexus. However, you might find luck calling or Live Chatting Canada's Samsung Repair Centre.

——— Original Post ———
Had a guy while on public transportation try to steal and then drop my phone on his way off the light rail earlier tonight, the screen is busted and talking to Verizon, there's nothing they can do. Apparently my Verizon store rep never did add insurance.
Looks like the only way I can get my screen fixed is by doing it myself (or finding someone who can, I'll opt for myself though). I've been looking and I haven't had any success in finding a replacement LCD screen and digitizer for my Galaxy Nexus SCH-i515 (CDMA/Verizon).*
Has anyone come across a reputable dealer online who has this part?
* = I have found one dealer online who has it apparently: GoUnlocker.com - I just don't know how legitimate they are. The only reviews I've found on them are from RipOffReport ... 2 reviews, both bad. If anyone has had any experience with them I'd be happy to know how they are.
There's this guy who is selling on eBay. It might be worth asking if the screen he is selling for the GN will fit your CDMA version.
I did get my screen on my GSM Nexus replaced but that was through the retailer's own tech department as it had severe banding issues. It might also be worth calling Samsung and getting the quote for a change? Who knows, it might just be quite close to the price of the part itself?

Warranty only covers "manufacturers defects". Some punk trying to steal a GN and dropping it is certainly not a defect. At least not Samsung's.
Wow, that's a freaking BOLD criminal (and clumsy, too). Good luck with your screen replacement saga!
So after looking around and finding nothing cheaper than $220 for the replacement screen on GoUnlock.com, I registered for an account on Samsung.com, called up Samsung Mobile Support (+1-888-987-4357) and after talking to a decent fellow (who happened to be an HTC EVO 3D owner, which is his first true smartphone ever, but he really does want the Galaxy Nexus when it comes out on Sprint), I was able to set up a repair order, and the repair cost would amount to a total of $163.46.
Since my phone is still under warranty, and due to the fact that the Galaxy Nexus is a priority support phone for Samsung, the turnaround time provided is the fastest they offer; The turnaround time will be 2-days UPS shipping to Plano, TX; 2-days for repair; and 2-days UPS shipping to return to me.
Samsung informed me that during this time, unfortunately they could not provide me with a loaner phone, that I should check with Verizon to see if they could loan me one in the meantime. I contacted Verizon, and since they were not going to be able to repair my phone as it wasn't insured, they would also not be able to provide me with a loaner phone, but otherwise would have if I had gone through their repair process (which I wasn't eligible for).
Guess I'm going to have to dig out my Sprint Nexus S 4G and use it as a WiFi-only phone (using GrooveIP) during this time. Fortunately I won't be without mobile data as I also usually have my Xoom 4G with me. Gads, I'd probably die otherwise.
--
@s1977 - That guy never responded and I could not find any solid source of information confirming that the I9250 screen is compatible with the I515 Galaxy Nexus. Thanks for looking though!
@cmdub - Admittedly I contacted Samsung as a second-to-last resort, but you were spot on. Thanks!
@frogskins - My thinking was initially with what you posted, I am surprised and pleased that Samsung accepted my repair.
@McDizzle - The guy probably wouldn't have dropped it if I hadn't grabbed at his vest as he was trying to get away from me. Although the screen cracked, it's still a small victory over losing the phone completely.

I don't agree. They do drop test's on there product and mine cracked at a height of about 30cm. If their tests were done correctly they would realise there product is not durable at all. You shouldn't have to buy a case for a phone for it to be durable. Therefore it should be under warranty.

On a whim, I called the 888 number to see if they could help repair my busted SGN screen as well. Sure as scheisse, $163.46 later and I received the UPS labels in an email and was quoted ~2 weeks turn around.
Thanks for the tip!

It took a little less than two weeks for me to send out my SGN and get it back, and my phone is now in pristine condition. It was reformatted back to ICS 4.0.2 (I had an OTA 4.0.3 on it before I sent it to them, I haven't been able to redownload OTA 4.0.3 for some reason though), and also I haven't had any random reboots (yet) like I have in the past. Since I didn't rip my phone apart, it is still under warranty as how it is explained to me.
Also, I'm running the Otterbox Defender on my SGN now (just in case). It's a nice case and fits perfectly even with the extended battery, and holding it in a gloved hand is a heck of a lot more secure. I'd rather not take another chance.
@Grannypotts - Glad the tip helped!
How in the hell did you come up with that. Sure they perform droptests but it's not covered by warranty. Why? Because it matters where exactly did the phone fall ( side, back, front) and on what ( concrete, wooden floor etc.) Sometimes I'm amazed at some people. I's that hard to think before you speak.

I'm sure they would. You'd probably be charged up front for any repair and you'd probably be without your phone for 2-4 weeks. You should give them a call +1-888-987-4357 and explain your issue. Be sure you let us know what you find out.

sorry to hear what happened... I had a similar thing happen to my cdma galaxy nexus and
when I called a local phone repair shop, they said its 250 dollars for the screen and 60 dollar for the labor cost. so about $310+tax... I honestly thought this price was ridiculous so I have been living with a crack on my galaxy nexus screen...

If you can stand to be without your phone for a week or two, you should definitely see about getting in contact with Samsung for the repair. The price is nearly half of what your local shop would charge you.
I was able to survive because I still had my Samsung Nexus S 4G (Sprint) on hand. I'd had it up for sale shortly before the screen on my Galaxy Nexus got busted, so I took it down from sale, updated it to (the leaked) 4.0.4, installed GrooveIP and used the Nexus S 4G as a WiFi phone using my Google Voice number. It also helped that I have a Motorola Xoom 4G LTE that kept me on a data drip until my Galaxy Nexus got back in.
im not sure if you guys have insurance on your phones but i dropped my nexus face down and really destroyed the screen i called VZW and they directed me to the insurance company they charged me $100 bucks and i had a brand new nexus by 10 in the morning all they wanted back was the phone i kept the battery and charger. along with the brand new battery and charger, and headset from the new nexus they shipped me. although having to go thru setting up your phone again sucks it beats paying $160+ AND you get it the next day. hopefully this helps someone in the same situation
i finally called the number and asked if they could replace the screen on my i9250 but he said they can't because they don't support international phones

That sucks to hear. Did they provide you with a phone number at least? If they didn't you might still have luck by getting in contact with a different country's Samsung Repair Centre such as Samsung Canada.
Here's your i9250 via Samsung Canada: http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/model/GT-I9250TSMBMC
I'd say Live Chat and ask or click on "Request Repair Service" from that page and see where that goes. Let us know if you are successful or not!
Last week, my phone in its Seidio case fell off my fireplace mantle, and landed face-first onto an AC adapter prong. The screen was completely garbled and unreadable.
I didn't do any homework, but luckily it seems like I made the right choice in shipping it to Samsung and paying the $150 or so. I'm glad to hear that I only have to wait another week to get it back. Being without a phone is tough, especially since I had to do a bit of traveling this week. I just hope that Samsung doesn't care that the phone is rooted and the whole bit.
I didn't get insurance because I dropped my G1 and N1 all over the place when I was using them and never even had a scratch. I might get some this time around.
I'm having this issue right now. I've had nothing but issues with my phone (mic dropping out, slowing down/freezing and random reboots daily, Wireless disappearing totally, data connection disappearing, phone totally cutting out/popping during phone calls).
To top it off, I dropped the phone on Friday and now Verizon won't swap out the phone (no insurance) for less than like 350 bucks...more than I paid for the phone. I can sign up for the insurance but would have to wait 30 days before I can put in the claim on the phone.
The guy said if I could find a 3rd party to fix the screen, like some cell phone kiosk or something, they would swap it out under warranty without an issue.
I haven't contacted Samsung yet, but I'm guessing I'll get that 165 dollar deal that's mentioned here so.. I'd do the insurance route but hate that I'd have to sit on a phone for 30 days. If it was just the cracked screen I would deal, but it's about useless as it is.

Does this mean some sort of US support for the rest of us? Meaning if we had to call in Samsung regarding the GSM galaxy nexus the phone agent will finally have a script to read to us?
Hopefully we can get repairs done in Samsung US service centers too.

There's a few cellphone repair companies that could fix something that goes wrong with gnex. However I agree that not having an official service center being able to look at the phone in the US is big downside.

Made a post about this, and got some useless replies. Here's from my post.
Called iwireless.com today...and they are indeed selling the GSM Galaxy Nexus. They'll even sell them to non-customers, though they told me they only have one left right now, but they're getting more Friday.
This is the FIRST time the GSM pentaband has been sold in the USA, correct? This is huge to me, because it comes with a USA warranty. The last thing I want is to import the phone, and then Samsung won't even service it.
So do you think the iwireless version is the exact same as the world phone? Like if I buy an imported phone, will Samsung even know the difference, or will they say "sorry, yours is grey market, it can't be serviced here." Possibly by the IMEI number?
Very intriguing. I'm of course hoping that T-mobile gets it for real soon. Still waiting to hear what the SGH-T999 is. Anyone buy one of these from iwireless?

They'd need a receipt of purchase to do a warranty job. So unless you bought from iwireless I would assume the rest of us won't be covered because our phones weren't bought within the region it was intended for.

When I sent my Nexus S in for warranty repair I was never asked for a receipt (good thing, because I bought the phone used). However, the model number is probably different if the phone was imported.

I wonder if the model number is the same as Canada - i9250M?
And more importantly, are there new radios that come with the U.S. model?
Well, if the requirement for warranty service is a USA receipt...if the phone is identical to the imported phones from europe and canada, couldn't you just buy a phone from Amazon and say "Hi, here's my receipt from the company Amazon in the USA."
Can anyone confirm if the iwireless model is in anyway different?
And even ignoring warranty issues, does this mean Samsung USA will now repair an imported Galaxy Nexus? Because heck, I'd rather pay closer to $500 for some of these imported models and get zero warranty, I just want to make sure I can get it repaired if I have any issues.

Just spoke to a level 2 phone agent at Samsung Wireless US. The phones iwireless are selling are actually imported as well so they technically do not have US warranty. Any repairs or defects you might have will be done through iwireless, I'm assuming they'd have to swap it out or mail back to country of origin.
So we still have zero US support on galaxy nexus. I'm still trying to get my earpiece speaker fixed and they don't even have the part for it.

Already threads on this. The price is ludicrous.
I work for this company and yes it's the same one.
I can't believe how much attention we have been getting. We are a small regional carrier and I understand we are the first here to get GSM version but I was surprised how many android sites had posted about our company selling the phone.
The phone is nice but it's getting old fast and I think it's overpriced. I will actually be sticking to my AOSP sensation...dual flash, 8mp camera, sd card slot, yum.

I bought mine back in January from Fry's Electronics in store. Not sure how the warrany works with them but I had a problem with the one I bought and took it back to the store where they swapped it out for another one (new in the box) after verifying that it was a manufacturing defect.

Its a small local carrier to me so they will handle defective ones just like any US carrier. They'll swap it out for a refurb and exchange it with Samsung.

Not if they are importing the phone as posted above you. They would have to send the phone to another country for warranty repairs, unless they refurbish phones themselves. If you get a phone from them make sure you have a backup phone for the month it will be away getting repaired.

Hello, i've been using a tmo SGSII for a while.
I was going to change into GN when it comes out for TMO later.
but it seems i've been waiting forever for it, and i'm giving up.
I'm trying to buy a unlocked GSM version of GN.
i'm thinking of buying GN from here
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...4353?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item2c642a7221#rpdId
just because it's in US, and it'll be easier for me to sent it back if there's any problem.
Do you think it's okay for me to buy GN around this time?
or should i just wait for the SGSIII in... like Q4? (i don't mind buying both of them)
plus, i heard unlocked gsm GNs' are OS locked, where you cannot upgrade the software via OTA.
is this true? or this doesn't matter? would i be able to get an OTA without any problem? or do i have to use a 3rd party program? or i can't simply do it?

Sorry, not true. Just because you're buying it from a seller in the US doesn't mean that Samsung Europe will honor your warranty. If you want a guarantee (or as close to a guarantee as you'll get with a grey market device) of having a manufacturer warranty, choose a reputable US-based importer (not a random eBay seller) that will help facilitate the warranty exchange with Samsung. Samsung Europe will (most likely) not deal with a US customer directly because the phone is not sold here.

This is not true... Not sure what you're talking about. The entire point of buying unlocked phones is so that you can still receive the updates OTA without waiting for carriers to approve them. The Galaxy Nexus receives OTAs just fine.

also, it says i should get my money back if i return it within 7 days, and only one or two day is needed for me to figure out if there is anything wrong with the phone.
also, feedback of this seller is quite good
oh, can you tell me any reputable us based importer just in case ?

I dropped my Nexus and cracked the screen. I am a TMobile customer and pay for insurance. Asurion just offered me the SIII in exchange for my cracked Nexus for $130 deductible. Looking for advice on as to whether I should do the exchange or pay $200 to have the screen replaced.
I'd personally stick with the Nexus. I bought it for a reason (Latest updates, and AOSP) not for the hardware so I would just want my Nexus fixed and back in one piece.

That's what I'm thinking. The additional $70 for replacement of the screen is a cost I'm willing to take to avoid delayed updates and TouchWiz
I do Believe CM10 is on the SG3 but i would pay for the screen as well. The SG3 is a nice phone but its only going to get left behind at one point where the nexus will not get left behind for along time.
$130 for GSIII
$475 resale value of the GSIII
$345 left
$360 new play store Nexus with 1 year warranty from Google
That puts you at $15 out of pocket for a brand new Gnex with warranty.

I don't want to deal with the hassle of selling a refurbished GSIII.

Tell you what, you get the GSIII and I will trade you my Gnex. You are still saving $70...
Damn, tmo insurance covers a gnex? I didn't think it would since it's not a tmo device.

They cover it but they won't replace it with another Nexus since TMO doesn't sell it.

Yeah I figured as much since they offered you an S3. I am surprised, I didn't think they'd insure a device they didn't sell. I was considering ditching the insurance on my line since I got the nex, but will probably leave it now since I know that.
S3 is tempting... I would go for it, just for the bigger screen. If you don't like it, it's easy to sell and replace with another gnex. But I get serious phone ADD, so I like changing it up.

I work with Koreans and I'm pretty sure they all know about the GS III, (they even know about the Galaxy Note II and it hasn't even been released yet) but they've never heard of or ever seen a Galaxy Nexus. When they first saw my phone they told me it looked a lot better than the GS III and also commented about the clean appearance.
Did you have to talk to a live rep or just submit the claim online?

Because it doesn't have the ugly samsung logo in front of the phone, huge + imo.

I dropped my Nexus and cracked the screen. I am a TMobile customer and pay for insurance. Asurion just offered me the SIII in exchange for my cracked Nexus for $130 deductible. Looking for advice on as to whether I should do the exchange or pay $200 to have the screen replaced.

I think the question of the hour is, are you on tmobile contract with insurance or the new prepaid insurance? A lot of us are probably wondering about that...
Also personally I would go for the SIII... My girl just got one on a upgrade for her sero account. I hate touchwiz, but CM10 is out and I would bet CM11 (Android 4.2) wont take very long after the ASOP is released.
I also wouldn't worry about device support. Samsung has already sold over 20 million of them and it will probably be samsungs top selling phone. Too many people will have them for the developer community here to stop supporting them for some time. I upgrade every year or so myself, I would definitely trade out my Gnex for a SIII..
I really like having some hardware buttons so I don't have to use something like LMT for fullscreen and having the SDCard slot is alos a +
That insurance company will cover any phone you may have. It doesnt matter they even cover the iPhone for that matter. It doesnt have to be a tmobile phone but of course they will offer you a tmobile phone. But for a Gnexus a s3 thats good... oh and one thing they will send it to you brand new not old. because you are having a different phone replaced. so get the s3 sale it buy a gnexus and have some cash on your pocket. Good deal
