Does the xperia play front housing case has a glass? And how to glue it back?

Hi guys,
I just dropped my Xperia Play and the front glass cracked. I was going to buy a new housing case on ebay but now I'm confused about what I actually need and how to repair it.
This is the item I saw on ebay (Full housing case). Judging by the pics it seemed to me that the front cover comes with a glass already?, but then another search gave me the result for a touch screen digitizer (Touch Screen Digitizer).
Are there 2 different glasses on the Xperia Play? or what's the purpose of the glass appearing on the first link?
Then I found this manual (Installing-Sony-Xperia-Play-Digitizer/7593/4) where they say we need to use a heat gun to remove the glass from the frame. Is that heat gun really required and do we need to glue the glass back to the frame? Any idea which glue could I use for that?
Many thanks in advance. Looking forward to trying my 1st repair...

I think I'm right on this, the housing is just that, the housing. The "glass thats on there is only meant to protect the digitizer. which is the thing that reads where your fingers are.

I understand even less now. I've been scratching my broken glass to see if what I had broken was the glass that appears to be part of the housing in the 1st link or the digitizer, and I'd say that it's the digitizer and there's no any other kind of glass that belongs to the frame!
I'm starting to think that the 1st picture on ebay is kind of misleading and that glass that appears there doesn't really exist?

I'd like to know where I can get the glue also.

I sold a touch screen digitizer some time ago on eBay. I have seen them for around $30 and yes from what I have seen the housing is just the bordering around Tue touch screen digitizer. I would try searching eBay for that. The one I had I bought from hing Kong and it worked jsmust fine.

Ah ok, thank you. The picture of the housing is not very good then as it seems that it's got a glass that goes on top of the digitizer...
Did you replace the screen as well? Any suggestion about a good product I could use to glue it back to the frame?

Be advised the digitizer is glued to the screen bordering. I do not know what glue it is. Sorry.

Note 2 front glass replacement

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

GS3 OEM Gorilla Glass 2 Replacement?

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.

Glass replacement?

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.

Broken back, where to get this part?

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.

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.
