So i love my Xoom as many of you do as well.... I have case for it but unfortunately I dropped it and dinged the corner of the battery cover.
I have searched but could only find it for 60 dollars on one site. I know its a rather large piece and it is metal but that's a lot to pau for a piece part.
I'm wondering if anyone here on xda can help me find an alternative.
Thanks in advance fort the help. Cheers!!!
Come on anyone?

Before you do that, it's probably a good idea to take it apart and find out which size connector cable your screen has. The Evo two types, a "small" and a "big" one.
I'm posting these amazon links for reference about the flex cable size, I am 100% sure you can get these for cheaper elsewhere...
A "big" one: http://www.amazon.com/ORIGINAL-Display-Screen-Sprint-HTC/dp/B004RDGTJ2/ref=pd_sim_e_7
A "small" one: http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Evo-Replacement-LCD-Screen/dp/B00427SHXO
Again, there are surely places where you can get these for cheaper, but the amazon links do have photos of the items so you can see the difference between the two flex connector sizes.

And get a replacement... why do you have insurance with BB if you're not going to use it? My understanding is that they don't charge a deductible anyway.
I may be misreading things, but from the OP's description, it made it sound like his phone has a protection plan with Best Buy, whereas his lady doesn't have that or regular insurance.

Start on step 20.
Do your research, ask many Others I have helped on this forum with repairs. Yur best bet is to spend the extra money and buy it preassembled. I had for sale screens with the digitizers already attached directly from htc. Wth the plastic stil on the front. Many members purchased from me but at the moment I'm sold out. Save yourself ANY little or big headaches, spend the extra few dollars and buy it all in one piece. Maybe a few of my friends or customers might chime in...good luck
Thanks guys the help us much appreciated.

I actually know someone who may have one to sell you. Give me a bit to check it out...

i would really appreciate that. Thanks
I have two of them...complete housings(screen, back cover, and battery cover). What would you offer?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Is it white? Because her phone is white...and i only need the back housing and maybe battery door
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Nah, the white one is what Im using right now. There is one on ebay though. Search for sph-d710 housing.
Coming soon waterproof to 2m for 30 minutes, but I'm sure would go much longer. It's expensive but will probably be around $50 on Amazon. It's worth saving your phone and insurance or replace cost. Plus underwater pictures on a cell phone would be nice. Anybody else getting one?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
only 2m?
That is the requirement to meet the IP67 rating. A device that is certified IP67 must survive at 1 meter for 30 minutes.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I think well worth it, how many times will it be under 6 ft? I posted on the Otterbox Facebook asking if they had a waterproof case in the works but did not get a solid response. I wonder how underwater picture quality would be and if any audio would pick up. There is a case for the iPhone that is waterproof, it's about time we got something.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
They now have the srp posted on their sitw. $80-$90, this is still worth it
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Just like the defender is almost half price anywhere other than the otterbox site you should be able to get one at 2/3 60-70 range I hope. Has anybody seen the iPhone in the lifeproof case? Asking in the wrong place maybe someone knows somebody?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
wow pictures underwater sounds nice.. and the price is not too high
after 30 minutes what would happen? will water break through the case or the phone will be damaged by the pressure?
I'm not sure, I've seen iPods in Missouri cases go hours. Get a case put some weight and a paper towel in it to test.
Edit: Lifeproof, not Missouri

I'm excited about this. I've been using a drycase for kayaking and have been waiting for a more elegant solution.

It happened yesterday, i knew it would happen at some point...
Anyone know how much it will cost me? The device is still working fine, but i have no idea for how long it will..
It's pretty funny actually, i was thinking about buying a case, a few hours later my phone fell on the ground.
So, any cheap repair options and useful cases for the future?
Visit cnn.cn I've bought from them before and have no complain. You'll find the rear housing for around $10 and if your screen still responds to touch and asking as your amoled is intact then you probably just need to replace the front glass which is also cheap and around the rang of $10 - $20. However, if your amoled or digitizer is unresponsive then the whole screen assembly would cost you around $320. Good luck.

Hi all.
My wife has a note 2 and the screen got cracked (not the digitiser) Not insured and I wasn't about to pay £289 cheeky gits lol.
I got a replacement screen and followed a youtube tutorial on how to replace.
I got the glass off fine and have put the screen on but keep getting an air bubble appear. I've tried different adhesives and still the same... Has anyone else come across this or is anyone able to shed some light on a solution.
Thanks for your time.
And yes I made it kind of hybrid with a black home button... Completely by mistake ha ha (when ordering make sure you get the right colour... Duh)
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
Yes, there's a solution. Spend millions on a specially designed cleanroom and laminating equipment.
If you can't manage that, your choice are:
a) Live with the bubble
b) Spend the $289 for a proper sealed unit
Sorry dude.
Thanks for the sarcasm... That really helped.
For anyone that might be interested. I found the solution.
The sides require more clearance. So I put more tape on the sides and that has got it sorted.
Easy after all that messing!

How is the quality? Is viewing experience same or are there changes on colors/brightness etc.?
you can try special UV glue for phone digitizers you can find it on ebay. but than you also need strong UV lamp. check some youtube video =)
From what I can tell in comparison to my s4 the quality is very good hardly noticeable... Very happy
