Hello.Iam hapy user og sgs2 i9100 from about week.I just replace my htc one v and pay 50 pounds and exchange to second hand sgs2.Iam happy with this phone but I want make it like new,couse there is a few small scratches on screen and on the whole case is looking like used,so I thinking about repalce all that things,screen,middle silver case and back as well.The colour of my phone is white but for me is doesnt matter,I can replace to white or black,I just want make full refreshing and also put the lcd screen protector and buy the protection case.
I asked in gsm service but they said full housing is expensive,because that lens with digitzer cost a lot of money and all that job is not worth it.Also they said all that housng on ebay are just cheap china copy and without digitzer I wiil be not able to replace the screen.
So I want ask here,where I can buy in good price full housing with screen,or mayby there is a pasta for fix that small scratches on screen so I mayby only need to buy middle silver case and back case without lens digitizer screen?
Please reply,best regards.

Hi, found this screen protector on HTC europe shop. Bit exepnsive but is it worth it? I mean the screen protector provided byt HTC is really good. THey offer also a 5 pack for 31 euros.
What do you think guys?
It is not expensive. Brando has one screen protector for 10 dollars. Clarivue has 2 for 9,99 US$. So, 5 for 31 euros is cheap.
Thanx for letting me know. Then I'll buy the 5 pack as soon as I can.
why would you want 5 screen protecters. you just can put one on your phone
Go cheap
I bought a set of six really cheap ones on ebay for under 5 euros delivered, and they're excellent... I've had more expensive ones in the past for other devices, and these cheap ones are just as good. Search ebay for elf protectors - the seller is german.
It's all down to how you apply them, as with all screen savers. Even if they say they're removable and washable etc, if you don't get them right first time you're stuffed.
Secret is to get the screen clean first - I use stick tape to pull off all the dust and bits, then apply the protector from one end, using a credit card or something to press down behind it whilst installing.
The screen protector that comes with HTC boxed in India is the worst! Its almost like a cello-tape on big size. Screwed my screen completely when removed. Then I had to use some shampoo for removing the sticky stains.
So carefull sticking..
Regards,
Carty..

check out this site, lots of goodies @ good price!
i had 1 screen protector (orginal) for 10 euro in france
so 5 for 31 euro is a good deal
HTC Orginal protective screen (not the free one they give you)
Just got 6 decent quality protectors for £3.00 inc carriage. Found them on ebay from a UK company - the ebay shop is E-Cell Global. They are miles better than one I got from Play.com, applied easily and I can honestly say they are invisible - i had to double check it was on it! Must be the best bargain ever.
PS: The reason I have been looking for new protectors is because I did a stupid thing with my new HTC Touch Enhanced. I put on the one supplied wth it and it looked rubbbish so i threw it away. After a few weeks use I saw a very small mark on the edge of the screen and lifted it up with my finger nail. Seems the touchpad / digitizer has a very thick plastic protector already on it fitted at the factory. Because I had lifted the edge it looked bad so I pulled the whole thing off. BAD move as the screen underneath it is very easy to damage and I got a few scratches on it before I fitted the new covers above. It now looks as good as new so I seem ot have got away with it.
Has anyone else removed this thick protector? In theory if you got a bad scratch on your screen you could pull this off and wack a new protector straight on fixing the screen for just a few quid.
Hej there,
i got some of these:
http://tinyurl.com/5gaobo
dirt-cheap (especially in euros) and really good quality, easy to apply and no scratches from the stylus at all (the protector i used before got scrachted immediately) ...
and the best thing is it ships free worldwide, really can recommend these
At BOL you can get the original HTC screenprotector. A 2-pack for only 5 euro.
Or.... a whole new digitizer for $10 Euro... I considered the prices of screen protectors and decided to skip placing one on my Touch altogether. I carry mine in the protective pouch and if or when it will get too scratched to look good, I'll just replace the touch screen.

I also decided to skip using the screen protector. I keep mine in it's case all the time (except for when I am using it). I have gone through 2 screen protectors in 6 months - They scratch way too easily if there is even the slightest bit of debris on your finger and they smudge to easily as well. Now that I am not using the screen protector, the screen is clearer, Colours are more vibrant, sensitivity to touch is better and I can write with the stylus better.

Exactly!!! Hated the protector on it too!!! Love the "naked" look and feel.
Chinese screen protectors are available for 1dollar only. im using one & its not too bad. i keep changing evry 2 months.
the screen protector supplied free with it in egypt is very bad it is massively scratched but i hesitste to remove it because it may leave marks of adhesive substance
Any place to buy this in AUS ..i also need a new one..
has anyone here used the TMOBILE "in the box" screen protector ?
mine already had a thin film protector and a spare one in the box ... been using it with thin film one since last few weeks and i am not completely sure if i should change it
any experiences / advice would be highly appreciated ...
So I've barely had my first android phone for a week and its already slipped out of my hands and into hard concrete. The result is that I have some ugly dents on the silver ring that surrounds the phone. I have the marble white version, Any idea if I can find a replacement for it? Either I'm putting in the wrong search terms or I there are none available on the internet. I'm feeling really bad right about now
I have the same issue,, I hope someone help us :s
I cant help with the bezel but I can HIGH recommend you two buying a case since you have already dropped and dented the phone... Preferably a TPU one that will cover all edges.

pretty sure there aren't any until a Chinese knockoff reseller (cnn.cn or etc) makes one. even at that, you'd have to take apart the phone.

I bought a Case-Mate one,,

I found the bezel in ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-HOUSING...753897?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20c7114f69
Not sure if I should get one
Hum, you do realize that's quite a bit of work to change that part, right ? (besides the fact that you void the warranty)
A guy made an almost complete video showing how to disassemble the device. I'm saying almost because at the end he explains the screen is heat sealed with the frame (the one you found on eBay) :
http://youtu.be/eo93EF7rVIw?t=9m27s (timing is included in the link)
You need to un-seal the two parts with heat.
So to resume, changing the bezel is as complex as changing the screen, or even more complex since you can buy screens already sealed with frames (but I suppose you don't want to pay 300$ just for bezel replacement ). Meaning this is surely the most complex piece replacement on the Galaxy S III ...

You mean the ones that dont cover the entire edges?
My point exactly. Thats why I recommend a TPU case.
Also the case will cover the dent and you dont have to worry about it anymore.
No point disassembling the entire phone and probably voiding your warranty for a dent.

Guys, Nonepse is right about how complex of a job changing the bezel (it's actually the phone's frame) is. The same guy did a video on how to take part the frame/bezel that the LCD is stuck on with adhesive. It is NOT a pretty sight.

There goes my dream of using the GS3 without a case and simply replacing the housing whenever I feel like it.
Try CNN.cn they usually have replacement parts

It is the frame, seems like alot of work, and practically impossible to swap out without replacing the screen since they are glued together . Just get a nice case, you won't see much of the damage. I got at least a nick here and there when i dropped my phone when i first got it. Now I got full case and front tempered glass screen protector that hides most if it (besides the little crack still visible, but it doesn't bother me). http://i50.tinypic.com/xpqa03.jpg
+1, a lot of effort/cost to fix it....Just put a bumper case on it at this point.

Got the same thing on my white Metro S3. Was looking into replacing the bezel/ frame until I saw that video. Just not worth it IMO.

Hi there,
May I know where did you get your case?
Cheers.
Your best bargain would be to get a TPU case off ebay!

Looks like a UAG case in white.
guys the truth is that its imposible to change only the bezel of the phone. why? because its imposible to remove the LCD withou braking it. the bezel is only $30 but if you brake the LCD (AMOLED) Screen its about $300 so just use a case.
when i bought my s3 it was black, and some of my friends drop it and the screen (gorilla cracked), i decided to buy the whole front part of the phone. i decided to change the color so now my S3 is Titanium 100%.

Whats the name of this case looks excellent!
I'd just get a really nice looking case if it's esthetics that you worry about.

UAG it is...
I've had a white and now I have a grey one. On both of them I used some 220 grit sand paper and carefully sanded the cheap silver plastic off revealing a beautiful soft touch black plastic looks especially good on a white phone. I'll put some pictures of you want

Is there some place I can buy a near OEM replacement glass screen?
I ran into a table with my phone in my pocket and the glass is destroyed, the Digitizer and LCD still work at all locations though so I guess that's good. I have since gotten the S4 (Free thanks to Best Buy on black Friday) but I would still like to fix the S3 in case my mom/sister ever want it.
I have found parts on ebay/Amazon but I don't think they are authentic enough, and I'm a stickler for having it as close to original as possible.
I wouldn't be opposed to paying more for something better quality. $10 - $40
I think you should buy the ebay one's, you wont find a glass only oem replacement because samsung only repairs the whole screen(digitizer,amoled, touch) not only the glass. I've repaired mine with a glass bought on ebay and it's been good for 8 months or more now.
Hi ive just picked up a HOX for a good price but its a bit marked up and the camera lens is a bit marked too
Just a few questions
Was wondering how easy is it to replace the housing or should i just get a case for it and save myself the hassle
Also is it possible to remove the camera lens cover without taking it apart?
If i replace the housing does anyone know where i can source a genuine housing here in the uk?
And can someone recommend a screen cover that would be good at covering up a few scratches
Thxs
The title says it all actually:
My G6 fell and the back is broken. Anyone knows where to order this part? A replica or original does not matter to me.
I generally buy this sort of stuff from eBay will be well worth a look.
This happened to me today. Apparently the gorilla glass 5 is not as hard as I thought it was. Dropped my phone from a height of 50cm and the rear glass is broken. Thank goodness the camera glass is ok.
Btw, this is the link where I bought the new glass (with adhesive). It costs $10 and I think that's a reasonable price.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1Pc...32815415775.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.Q1wSza
Now I just need to find a tutorial video of how to replace it. Please share if you find a good one.

Did you manage to replace the back cover? I guess I have it worse, as I have my front screen glass shattered. Any idea where I could find the replacement kit?

I haven't tried it yet. I ordered the glass from china so it'll take some time to arrive.
You can get official LG parts from Spares LG website:

There's Witrigs.
I can't recommend them though, I never bought anything there.
