Hinges..
I have never opened the case but from what I see, there a few hinges here and there(2 at the bottom part of the phone) which maybe on lifting a little will release the front case. If you have opened all the screws, then the only thing that would be keeping the case in place would be the hinges.
Don't push hard... and still if you can't, then take it to a service center.
Btw how much did it cost you? I am also planning of getting one.

Thx for replies, and sry for my pretty much late reply,I was "offline" for a while ... It cost me about 10 Euro,so its pretty cheap

Can you tell from where you get it? Link or something?
Thanks.

I think link wont help you much,cause Its Czech eshop working only in Czech republic ( and its in Czech language ). And actually I cant find link for it now,but as I say,its about 10 Euro and I think you can find it on ebay.

New original case
How`s the case? Are you happy for changing it? Have you changed it by yourself?

Yo u cannot remove the front part. It's glued to the screen. The screen and the all come attached heavily with glue or something line that. Watch the I-fixit videos pink YouTube. They will give you as idea how to dismantle it.

You shouldn`t have accepted a phone with a broken seal in the first place. You never know what happened to it and it may be a repaired device. As you should have warranty just keep it for now and i hope you will enjoy your phone mate

just check the SN on the invoice, compare it to the box, and the number under your battery (on your note), if everything is the same, then it should be ok. i myself always use this method to buy my gadget, some people are eager to buy the newest stuff and after couple of weeks they regret it and sell it sometimes much lower than retail price, their 'mistakes' is my gain

Discontinued

thanks

did you have a screen protector on it for the life of the phone ?
aka is there scratches on the screen?

My defy is back! "Old is gold"

So long time ago my defy got bricked while flashing..cos defy sipped all the juice and it got empty while flashing. I gave it for service no one could repair it.
Now I got a defy where only mother board works for approximately 13$ . Changed the motherboard , buttons, display and the back half myself and revived my defy.
Now I'm back to play with my defy even though I have xperia z, I simply love my defy cos
"Phones are meant to be smaller"
I cant text comfortably with such a big screen in my xperia z.
Defy is a great device. I realize "old is gold"

if some illegal thing was done on that handset motherboard , and then that imei u purchased, then u replace motherboard, you would be in the radar... that way i am saying it is risky

but that's like saying no one should ever buy or use secondhand goods since you don't know what the previous owners had used it for any illegal activities? for examples, the secondhand car you bought could have been used for robberies, weapons used for murders, etc?

Its a kind of risk... u can preserve the ebay purchase paper for safety thats the only way out...

Until the phone works I'm very happy guyzzzz..

+1. how many smartphones out there besides motorola have multi-colour LED letting you know, without turning on the screen, if you have missed calls or messages etc? none to my knowledge anyway
and on top of that, water resist, dust proof, scratch resistance guerilla glass screen, and just the right size for a phone.....love it......not changing it for a long time yet.......unless it dies

You are absolutely right with old is gold.
I was searching for an alternative quit for some time but all other ip67 phones are either almost with the same cpu and mem or have a display like an half laptop....
And now with cm10.2 the defy rocks and is fast!
