Umm. You can never spot fakes until you installed the new display on your xperia play. Or compare your display to theirs.

Odp: Original screen replacement? How can I recognise fakes?
So could you point me to the place which is supported by Sony or somebody else so I'd have some kind of proof that it's original? You know just particular site, user, seriously, anything that could help me with correct choice, worldwide shipping is a must.

What I mean is that it won't be a cheap Chinese display so it won't perform worse than original, what do you mean by make a good search?

I bet your not an ebay buyer, if you were you would've been aware of ebay's buyer protection programs against merchant scams. Its not hard to spot fakes you just have to be aware of what the display looks like.

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.

Any unlocking cell shop in Florida can carry the devices parts. Might have to wait a few days but by then it would be cheaper than getting a new phone

I don't have insurance for t-mobile, I use simple, so I have to buy the part straight out I guess
Ahh that sucks. But my opinion, I rather buy another one just to have . Extra battery which is how I got mines. Paid 100$ and it came with a battery charger and 2 batteries included. Someone was hurting for money I guess. I didnt inspect it or nothing. Had water damage. Sent it in to tmo and the sent me another one for an extra 20$. Can't beat it for the price I paid

true, I'm going to have to see if I can find a stronger case, if not, I might just go buy a commando for verizon, these phones are getting to expensive to repair these days

Is this legitimate price??

Hi Guys....
I just saw this on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blue-Black-...121926?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27c8d4ec86
IS THIS FOR REAL ????
I am just AMAZED and thought share this with you guys here....
Lol
For that price the phone should be included.
Can't be correct

They do this when they dont have any in stock because they know nobody will buy, once back in stock they will lower price.
It saves them relisting the item and additional costs for relisting.
My friend priced his home 100k above market value thinking if anybody was stupid enough to buy, he will sell..
Now he has 1 week left to find a new place to live...

Understand - 1 photo even shows proof of being authentic with hologram sticker!
I've had friends order the fake neo Hybrid cases and they look and feel EXACTLY like the real ones..... Why pay 4 times the price? I'm not trying to put anyone down or instigate anything just want genuine answers. You could own one in every color if you got the fake ones for the price of an authentic one.

Any original Spigen - as it appears this one - is a steal when around $25 or less
It was a good price, as I paid £19.99 for mine, although with the button problems so sent it back. Went and bought a fake one for less than half that from China. Meant to not have the same button problems.

Support authenticity. I guess you're ok with supporting China making counterfeit items. I'm not. There's a reason why it's such a big deal. Then you purchasing fakes have no correlation with the country's debt to China. You are a horrible person.

Hey smart one, I've never bought a counterfeit item in my life, learn how to read before calling me a horrible person. I was wanting to start a dialogue (conversation just in case you don't understand the word) about peoples opinion. Just an FYI our chin high debt to China has NOTHING to do with people choosing fake cases over authentic ones.....more than likely Spigen produces its cases in China so please quit trying to start a politically fueled discussion.

Who cares what people buy. If you can afford to buy the authentic then good for you. There are people on these forums that actually want to save money like me and I couldn't care less if my money went to china if I could get "Fake" products for half the price, and you have no right to call people horrible for that.

I wouldn't trust the op.... He seems shady. I'm willing to bet that the listing is fake / Chinese knockoff.
Also if you haven't figured it out, the OP owns that ebay account. He should have been honest about that from the beginning.
