Hi. I just got a big scratch on the metal rim of my Galaxy SII. Can this be replaced and where can buy this original part?

This is essentially the hardest part to change on the phone, since there is adhesive between the screen and the metal rim back piece. There are videos on youtube that can provide you with the process, but this is typically related with cracked screens due to the fact that to remove the adhesive is a relatively rough task. Parts can be sourced on Ebay for around $20~30.

(Q) Screen protector for lens

Is there anything like that?
Something to protect the Galaxy Nexus camera lens...
Thanks

the martin fields screen protector i think does have a little cut out that you can put it on the camera lens at the back.

That's true, I bought from them in the past.
But now, I don't put any screen protector in my GNex screen. I am using soft-pouch and my GNex is sexy naked.
However, I am still worried with the lens because GNex battery cover does not protect that like my old HTC Desire.
So, I need protector only for the lens

I highly doubt anyone sells protective stickers just for the lens. You might have to buy a genetic protector and cut it to size yourself.

Scratch on screen easy fix?

Hello!
I have a light scratch on my new Nexus. I searched for some "easy" home made solutions but nothing. The scratch is really not bad barely noticeable but it is bothering the crap out of me. Now I looked on eBay to see if the screen can be replaced. I found two items that can help. One is the LCD Digitizer (sp?) and the other is the outer screen. I am confused which one to use.
Help.
Thanks

You have to replace the entire screen on the GNex unless you are EXTREMELY good and then you could just replace the digitizer. The whole panel is around $200. I would just put a screen protector on the phone and call it a day.

Thanks. I knew it couldnt be that simple.

Cracked my screen. LCD/digitizer or LCD only replacement?

I unfortunately cracked my galaxy nexus screen. I am still able to use touch screen functionality but i hate looking at cracks. Do I have to buy a complete LCD/digitizer combo to replace or can I just get LCD replacement? Any help would be much appreciated.

I would replace the whole combo if I were you. The glass and digitizer is so close welded together it isn't for anyone to separate and change one of those two.
I don't know if the glass is even sold separately?
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus

Check out this thread, he managed to only replace the glass. However, I'd say that it's probably more difficult/finicky than replacing the entire assembly.

I have a gnex that the sim card socket broke and won't read my sim. The phone is flawless except for that. I'd be willing to sell it cheap for parts if interested, pm me.

Galaxy Note 2 small scratches

I noticed that my galaxy note 2 have small scratches in the screen and I never dropped my phone. Anyone with the same problem?

So much of the Gorilla Glass 2. they are not scratch proof anyway.
I was lucky when samsung changed mine when my screen had dead pixels
sometime ago. Get a flip case & screen protector when you buy a new phone.

Please reply if anyone has the same issue.

It's not an issue. Gorilla glass isn't scratch proof, it's scratch resistant. Grains of sand in your pocket can scratch the screen if you're unlucky.

I've been using my Note 2 for nearly 2 weeks now and I am not using a case nor a screen protector.
I'm thinking of buying a flip case but not a screen protector. x_x

Same here - zero scratches without any kind of protectors

Fully agree with you. Especially if those 'grains of sand' got between your flip cover and screen.
Do not use screen protector or flip cover.
