I need to replace my inn screen cover. Not the entire LCD but just the plastic cover that is glued right over the LCD. I have been searching for 2 days on google, ebay, you name it! Can anyone help?

So shoot...my screen got cracked...bad. I had it in a case, inside of my padded laptop case, I took it out to read tonight, HUGE crack. I can't believe this has happened!
Has anybody had any luck with replacement glass for their gtab? I've read that some folks have been getting custom cut glass from their local glass store. Has anybody done this? What type of glass (thickness / type) is suggested.
I'd rather find an actual replacement glass, but am willing to try anything!
Thanks,
Pat
So am I just f*cked or what?! I would really like to try and get some glass custom cut. The glass is shattered so bad that once the bezel (sp?) is taken off it is going to fall completely apart!
Thanks in adavance to everyone!

As far as I know, it is not regular glass. It is touch screen glass. Call Viewsonic.
Possible solution
I posted about this a couple days ago. I had the same problem, hope it helps.

I know this has been discussed before but I would like clarification on what I need to replace on my TF201. I am attaching pictures. I actually sat on my tablet and it damaged the LCD. The glass is fine but the display is not. Can someone tell me what I can do? Do I need to replace the whole screen? It powers on okay. Thank you!

If the digitizer glass on the front is okay, you'll need to replace the LCD panel. The digitizer glass and the LCD are separate pieces. When you open your Prime, you'll see that the entire "display assembly" is a sort of sandwich. The digitizer glass is attached with dobule-sided tape to a thin piece of black plastic. The LCD is attached to the other side of the plastic with thin double-sided foam tape. Additionally, there are small brackets that hold the LCD to the plastic.
You're going to need to separate the LCD from the plastic with an exacto then clean away the remaining sticky foam crap. Order a replacement LCD, then reinstall.
Me, I reinstalled mine without using any sticky foam tape. I rely on the brackets. I'm glad I did it that way because I noticed a speck of dust after I re-assembled. It drove me nuts. If I'd used tape, I'd have never been able to get the piece of dust out.
A few notes: the LCD is VERY delicate and VERY fragile. Yours is already broken, so there's no real risk with the old one. The digitizer, comparatively, isn't quite as delicate. Still, BE CAREFUL when removing the LCD from the bracket. You DO run the risk of breaking your digitzer glass.
Also, leave the protective cover on the replacement LCD until the last possible moment of re-assembly. Use rubber gloves. You'll be unhappy if you leave a fingerprint on the replacement. Cleaning off fingerprints with alcohol or Windex risks breaking the new LCD. Did I mention that it's delicate?
Good luck
Hello. I have had a galaxy s3 with cracked glass and tried to replace it. I have seen many videos on youtube how to replace it. Basically people on these videos heat the screen and then remove the front glass easily, because the digitizer is glued to the lcd. But when I tried to remove it it came off quite easily, but only then I noticed that the digitizer was glued not to the lcd but to the front glass, so when i tried to remove front glass I accidentally broke the digitiser connector and somehow damaged the lcd. You can see photos here:

http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Samsung-galaxy-S-III-/00/s/MTYwMFg5MDE=/z/QREAAMXQ74JTUq67/$_58.JPG (in this photo you can see that the digitizer was glued to the front glass very strongly)
I would like to ask, do you know why the digitizer could have been glued to the front glass but not to the lcd? And why the lcd could have been damaged while removing front glass??
I would really wanna know the answer myself, as I ordered one that should have reached yesterday, but as they do not work on weekends, it will be here tommorow, and I don't wanna brake my display forever, especially because mine is not that damaged.
Any ideas?
my advice don't bother with a glass replacement. I HAVE TRIED TWICE and as the op said the digitizer is glued to the front glass. this has been the case with both the original screen and two replacement lcd/digitizer/glass assemblies that i personally took apart. each time the glass was fused to the digitizer . i used a heat gun and a laser thermometer and still i failed. I was successful replacing the whole screen assembly twice . but those cost about $130 from amazon,com. These replacements may seem at first like oem but the ones i got cracked very easily. they dont use the gorilla glass and the quality is not as good. one replacement was really bad in sunlight. could not see anything. after my screen cracked a third time i got a galaxy s 5 . and started using a case and screen protector.
Hey buddies, The screen of my phone got breked. Touch is working. i can use the phone. Is there anyone who knows how to replace the LCD Screen glass and where to find the glass?
https://www.amazon.com/MOTOROLA-Mot...506525321&sr=8-12&keywords=moto+g4+plus+glass for the hard replacement but cheaper, OR
https://www.amazon.com/ePartSolution_OEM-Motorola-Digitizer-Assembly-Replacement/dp/B0713SWNFJ for more expensive but easier drop-in replacement
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Yu7HpzQU2I shows how difficult it is to replace just the glass of the phone
Don't expect Gorilla Glass 3 like OEM but more like cheap glass so next drop, will break again.
Hello, I’ve cracked my Screen on my Mate 20 pro, I’ve ordered my a replacement (not cheap) but can’t find the adhesive for the front LCD... I ordered the Rear glass adhesive... does anyone know if they are the same? Or would I be best just using B-7000 to glue the screen back?
Thanks pigbait
