Hi guys my brother just recently bought a Zenfone 2 ... it's just 2 weeks old and he dropped it on asphalt from about 1m.... well even if it's gorilla glass 3 it shattered really badly. He's quite busy and asked me to find him a replacement glass but i have failed to do so, here is where you guys come in - does anybody have any exp with glass replacement? I mean where to buy it from. I found a really clear guide and video how to do it - now i just need to find a place to buy the replacement. It's only the top screen - touch works just fine - no problems wish the image either. So there you have it, we're in the UK by the way if that matters (so i guess no US shops...)
Thanks guys!

I purchased an actual Asus replacement on ebay for $25 shipped, took my about 45 minutes to replace it. You will have to purchase the double sided tape to stick it back in.
A $2 tempered glass screen protector from eBay or Aliexpress is also a worthy investment if your brother does not mind a submillimeter extra layer on the display.

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 ...
Hi guys,
So unfortunately I cracked my Note 2's front screen by accident, and now I'm trying to see if I can replace it.
It's just the front glass, not the actual inner screen.
I just have one question, I found many front glass replacements online on Amazon and ebay, but are those actually Gorilla Glass 2 like the original or that is simply not possible and they are all just "normal" glass?
This seller here:
eby.co.uk/itm/200899972266?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619
Replied to me and said that it is Gorilla Glass because "normal" glass cannot be used.
Other sellers on ebay said that it's normal glass.
I have already ordered this one from Amazon though (hasn't arrived yet):
amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00A2IAUWS/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Any opinions from people with more experience than me? is it true that there is no "normal" glass actually and it must be Gorilla Glass 2 anyway? or they are all just normal glass because you can't get the original one (unless you get it from another defective unit I guess)?
Cheers
yes it is..
hi mate.. i have thesame problem.. i was so drunk and my note 2 fell off from my hand while txting.. and that stupidity coasts me 30 bucks! i got a front glass replacement from UK (same link u have). i did it on my own and it's been a couple of months now since i've replaced it.. seems like it's gorilla glass since i'm not using any screen protectors and it didn't get any scratches.. but i doubt that it's an OEM.. and one thing by the way.. i've applied it by myself and i tried to use my S-pen.. for some reason it's not working.. so please send me a reply if ur S-pen works after the front glass replacement.. thanks!
Hi, I have just replaced glass on S3. On eBay there are two glasses, one with Samsung name on and one without. I made sure I got one with Samsung name on and the markings on the back are very similar to the one I took off. I suspect therefore it is Samsung original.
Also I stuffed the first time and had to take the new one off again and do it again. I gave it quite a beating doing this, so I think it would have to be gorilla glass ...ordinary glass would have broken for sure.
Some eBay sellers state 'original glass' so I think if the name is on it you are pretty safe.

Can i use glass from GT-N7100 on note2 GT-N7105 is that posable
My first choice to getting any parts is from etradesupply. I've bought a housing from there and it was just like the original. Also you won't find actual OEM parts, however what you will find is parts that are up to OEM quality standards. Just make sure you have a hair dryer or preferably a heat gun before trying to take out the front glass.

Hello,
I have also cracked glas. :crying::crying::crying:
Replacing was not the problem, by heating with support of some videos.
I tried new one on it, but there is no touchfunction, only SPen is working.
The double sided glue tape is only at the outdside area. Is that ok or should
there something between screen and glas ?
Do you have a set of glue tape and glas, where you know it is working good ?
Need your help very soon....many thanks in advance !!!!
best regards huggy2008
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.
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.
Dear XDA users!
I have bought this phone 2 weeks ago, with the Huawei hard case. I was using my phone with the case installed, with the pre-installed screen protector, as my hardened glass did not arrive yet.
Today I dropped my phone for the first time and the screen got cracked on the top right corner. I guess, no warranty for this, I have to replace the screen by myself. I found several replacement on aliexpress around 80 euros, but I am a bit sceptic on the quality..
Any recommendations, experiences?
Thank you!
