So my brother in law dropped my sgs4 within a week of having it but thankfully the only thing with a small dent is the back cover. I've checked Amazon and T-mobile but can't find a stock back cover replacement. Can someone link me to one?

99.9% sure that's actually plastic painted to look like metal and I don't think it can be replaced.
You will need a replacement body. One for the M919.... which will be hard to get since its new, it is indeed plastic around the edges.
But you will be voiding warranty by opening the phone to put everything in the new housing. Might be better to give sammy a call or tmo at this point and make the troublemaker pay repair.

I just bought a full housing on eBay. Here's the link http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=251272447802&index=6&nav=SEARCH&nid=07242460945. I dropped my phone recently and was able to replace everything but the thin chromed plastic around the screen. The i9500 housing will fit our phones as the dimensions are identical. It's only a few screws to replace the mid section of the phone, and is very easy to do.

Hi, My Phone camera pens has a dint on it and takes blurry pictures. Where can I find a replacement lens, or even a phone case that protects the phone lens so I can just take the broken one out with a scalpel

The lens is part of the whole back casing which you can find pretty cheap all over the net. Takes about 15 minutes to replace it

I bought my phone used with some chipping, some scratches and even a mini dent on the chrome bezel, I've searched and seen this done on the uk version but I'm more interested in the T-Mobile American version as the bezel is attached to the frame that the LCD is glued to. I can get a replacement bezel with the mid frame and battery cover for $28 but I don't want to risk breaking the LCD when removing it from the glue.

There was somebody (i believe in the themes and apps section) who did and said it made the phone look more sleek. I've been considering doing it with a fine grit paper. As long as you take your time, you should be fine.

It might be in the accessories section too. Pretty sure i saw it. It's just blacked underneath...
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Well I suppose I'll look again. What do you mean just underneath? I'm looking to get rid of the scratches on the chrome rim of the phone
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
Someone did in the accessories section..he posted pics of it sanded down and it was just a black plastic finish underneath. I'm contemplating on doing the same and then painting it. Tried looking for it but I cant find it..its probably about 2 months ago. Replied in someone else's thread so not an easy find
Wait did you really think it was made out of chrome lol

yeah like the others have said. some guy posted it in the accessories section.. its not its own thread.. he just randomly posted it with several pictures... its just black plastic if you ever decided to sand it down. It actually looks pretty slick if your phone is black... like a matted black look. I think it'll look retarded if it was done on the white one..
Never thought about sanding the whole thing down and panting it another color.. fancy idea.
Yeah I'd just like to see it.

Anyone know of a legit place to get a replacement front glass for gnex. My digitizer is fine so I don't need that. I've never done this before, just looking for someone to point me in the right direction.

can you post the pics of the phone
$17.90 for front glass, not bad. I have a surface scratch on mine that has been bugging me, might be cheap enough to be worth the trouble. Has anybody had any experience ordering from that website? Is there any instructions included on how to replace the items or is that something that you just have to find on your own?

Any luck with this? Looking to do the same with my i515 gnex, does anyone happen to know if the glass cutouts for the two versions are the same?
From what I read, its strongly recommend to replace the whole unit(screen, digitizer, and glass) because its a huge pain to get glass off if you are lucky enough to do so.

I know its tricky, but i've done it before(heat is my friend). Once you do it once it actually isn't bad especially because the nexus has the slight lip around the screen which helps you big time with positioning the glass. I'm just confused if the two glass cutouts are the same or not.
So I still have broken glass that is finally starting to fall out whilst the cracks have gotten larger, no thanks to my two year old who loves to throw toys.
Has anyone seen the glass replacement, not the digitizer, last long term?
I'm trying to hold out until October but concerned that I'm going to lose the screen entirely soon.

My phone has EXACTLY the same crack pattern!! And I know how bad it feels.
Is this some design issue with the GNex stress points?
I asked the Samsung Care Center and they asked around $185 for the replacement (glass and digitizer)
That is more than half of the phone cost. :crying:
(Edit: They said as the front glass, the digitizer and the lcd are glued together, it is impossible to get a seperate glass replacement)
Luckily I had a screen guard on so the glass pieces are not falling apart yet.
You can get the glass and ask a trustworthy maintenance guy for helping replace it.
I haven't tried yet. But might try soon. :fingers-crossed:
Can someone tell me the link of the adhesive that you have bought on eBay or amazon??

Here is what I have been using for replacing the glass on the S3.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...iveASIN=B004WIQW3U&linkCode=as2&tag=mymmne-20
I have a quick question. Have anyone bought one of these cheap MTK S3 Clones and replaced the motherboard etc with the real motherboard of the S3?
I have a smashed S3, just recovered all photos and such through KIES. Instead of paying a deductible or fixing the lcd/digitizer I was wondering to buy the clone as a shell and just replace internals with the real ATT Samsung S3 parts?
What do you think?
:laugh:
MTK iS9300
MTK 6577
Its probably better just to replace the screen. Those both have super ****ty screens on them. I wouldn't be able to stand the screen, but I guess if you don't really care about it looking good you could.
I can pretty much guarantee you the insides will look nothing alike and therefore not fit at all

Just look at where the sim/sd cards are located.....
Completely different from the S3
Motherboards will be nothing alike.

Thanks.
I have the housing and all parts of the old S3, screen is just broken.
I am concerned about fit and screen. Hmmmm? Am I that bored to play around?

I remember reading somewhere in this forum about several of you that had back covers that didn't fit well, particularly by the volume key. I just had to replace my note 2 and the replacement unit had the Philbin with the cover not fitting well, I was wondering if any one had a fix for this?

I just put a few layers of tape in a couple spots to make it fit snugly.
