hi,
I was broked my glass on my dell venue. i want to change but don't know where to buy. anyone can help me?
I have the same problem. I dropped my phone 2 feet onto carpet, not even two weeks after buying it, and it completely shattered. The gorilla glass might be scratch resistant but if you even look at it funny it shatters. If you do a Google search, you'll see that many other people have the same problem.
I found one place in the UK that sells a replacement screen but after shipping its almost as expensive as a new phone. Dell wont sell a replacement screen just a new phone for ONLY $300.
It sucks but i'm just going to wait till I can buy a cheaper screen or someone files a class action lawsuit against dell.

Thanks you for reply
I was bought a new one from amerika. And it was more cheaper than buy a new replacement screen.

Hi guys,
I just dropped my vibrant from 3 feet high and gorilla glass had a crack and half of the screen doesnt work and half of it shows random colors. Other than that it seems fine. Does it happened to someone else? I thought gorilla glass is uncrackable and Samoled is so elastic and durable but it seems opposite.
Should I send it to SamsungUSA or just buy a complete digitizer+glass+Samoled kits from ebay around 129$? Which one will be cheaper because I am afraid Samsung will charge a lot for screen replacement?
If you can help me I really appreciate it,
Thanks
If you have the insurance it is 135.00 with tmo or whomever they subcontract the insurance to. Otherwise check Globaldirect for cost. It usually will be cheaper there. Also, be aware that some replacement kits are not amoled but LCD kit so read the fine print on that as well.
Good luck
thanks, i am probably gonna order from ebay and change it myself. Globaldirect has minimum order restriction so its not useful for me
Did you check with Samsung directly for your regular warranty? The way these things usually work is that the normal warranty covers it until the 1 year is up -- no deductible. Since it is supposedly Gorilla Glass they should cover the glass from damage too. Be really charming when talking with them. Call back until you get a representative in your country too (during the day is safest.)
Let me know so I have it for future reference.

that's a misconception abt gorilla glass. its stronger than regular glass. its scratch n crack resistant but not scratch n crack proof. oh and samsung DOES NOT distribute their samoled screens to 3rd parties. all those.sellers on ebay are.selling regular LCD screen replacements.
Sad day today. After several months of being painfully careful I decided to take off my otterbox case and I brought it to class with me. I only dropped it from waist high, but now my entire left side of the LCD is destroyed. Gorilla Glass is still intact.
Just a quick question, do I need to buy both the Glass and LCD to fix my streak? Or can I risk saving a few bucks by just getting the LCD with touch screen digitizer?
I'm thinking about purchasing this from ebay,
cgi.ebay.com/DELL-Streak-mini-5-LCD-W-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-/330545341211?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cf609a31b#ht_1403wt_1139
Sadly I can't post a URL quite yet.
Well, here is a guide I put together in another thread, it shows you how to replace the screen.
Now, when you order your screen, it will come with everything you need, even the gorilla glass, if it really is gorilla glass, who know.
That is a good price, but it looks to be used and I think it may take a bit to get to you.
Where are located? I can point you to a shop in Philly if you want.

Yeah I've actually ready your guide a couple times and I am planning on replacing it. Thanks for that by the way.
I'm in Southern California. Do you know if they can have it delivered fairly quickly? If that's the case I'll pay a little more if that's what it takes. What did you end up paying for with one of the screens?
They should have it in stock. So, I would think they can get it to you quickly. They were able to order it for me when not in stock and vet it the next day.

So yesterday I got a little drunk & waked up today just to realise that I cracked my phone's screen. We somehow jumped over a fence and as far as I remember, my phone flew out of my pocket on concrete from about 4-5 feet. I just bought it & as far as I know, warranty does not apply to these kind of repairs. I searched the web a little & came down to two options. Pay 200 bucks for repairs at certified repair shops or order the glass & repair it myself. 2nd option. Housing itself & digitizer is fine, that's a relief.. Just the glass itself is cracked.
So the question is, I see many options on ebay starting from 8 bucks to 50 bucks. I don't want to replate gorilla glass with something more vulnerable to scratches, so my option would be one of those 50 buck worth gorilla glass that ebay sellers claim to be 'original'. What are the possibilities that that glass is just an overpriced ripoff?

28.7478% chance.
Do the usual things when you buy online mate, check the sellers feedback etc.
The glass is glued to the digitizer, very difficult to separate - that's why the proper repair is so expensive as they won't replace just the glass.

The whole front unit is $200 if I'm not wrong. I've watched many videos on how to replace just the front glass, It's not impossible. Here on xda are many threads about this as well, you don't have to buy the whole front of the phone & you don't have to pay more than 100 bucks for repairs.
Well after having my z ultra for a month I decided to go nearly case less (have the Incipio Watson case) using a thin case, I managed to crack the glass over the screen in my pocket which renders the entire phone useless. I do realize that it was my fault for going without a case and not being extremely careful. But now that this has happened to me I want to let you guys know the after effects. Like I said I only cracked the top layer glass but due to design the touch sensitive portion also is damaged. They sandwiched the glass, digitizer, and lcd together as one unit with the digitizer glued directly to the glass so once cracked the entire phone has to be disassembled and glass, digitizer, and lcd has to be replaced as a assembly ($250us). This is not a cheap repair and I've found one aftermarket online repair shop that's charging $300us to fix with no guarantees. And they don't say whether it will still be water proof after repair. I called Sony before they announced the phone here and they told me due to the fact that it isn't offered here they would have to send the phone to the country of origin for repair and it could take a month or two before it returns. And they didn't have a firm cost of repair but $189 normal phone cost. I think due to the thinness of the phone made it extremely fragile with super thin glass (which is how I think they managed the use of metals as stylus) covering the screen. So I recommend getting protection that adds rigidity and screen protection or getting added warranty coverage to the phone to avoid my bad luck.
If something goes wrong with my ultra I will run it over with my car and use my home insurance. 100$ and i get a new one. Here in Sweden it's called "bad luck" insurance

I wish I had waited and got the lte version and insurance but it was looking like they weren't gonna release the beast for America. I hope now it'll be a quick turn around fix now tho. But considering getting the lte version with insurance.
Did you crack it from pocket pressure or something hit it? Was your phone screen facing outwards?
u misses out the most important thing ppl came to this kinda of post to see
everything u said was aleady clear by your title
so
we re all here to see,,,,
How did you break it ?

Just to let you know, while looking on the brando site, I noticed they had Z ultra replacement screens for $150.... Don't know their quality, etc... but I did see them...
I only have a Skinomi clear skin on mine. Front pocket, back pocket daily phone. Even the hood of my car dropped on it while using it doing a repair. No issues here pretty tough. Although I was sure I cracked it after that incident.
Yeah, I'm on the same boat.. How tf did it break?

Had it in the pocket screen faced towards my leg in a squatted position (wasn't thinking and frustrated at the same time from work) and cracked it from pressure/flexing presumably since all cracks stem from single crack at edge. What's crazy is that it seems to still be cracking even though im not using it. Have pictures in tow.
Did you squat really low? or like sitting down position kind of squat? Did you feel the pressure on in your pocket?
I have the phone as well and I only have a gel case, but I'm always scared to sit down with it cause I feel a bit of pressure when I do.
I don't wear skinny jeans, just regular straight jeans.

its 2 years, u have 30 days from purchase date. it covers everything except stolen.
I dropped my tablet and cracked the glass on the display. Besides the crack in the outer glass, the display and touch input both work just fine.
I've noticed replacement glass on Amazon for about twenty bucks. A local repair place says that doesn't do the job; the display needs to go to a place that can refurbish the display and laminate new glass, at a cost of about $175 USD, with another $110 for the shop to remove and replace the display.
Is this legit? If it really is that complicated, does anybody know of a reliable shop that will just do the whole job my mail, hopefully for less money?
Thanks.

Your better of selling the tablet and taking the hit and pick up a new one, as it's a huge job replacing the glass only!
Also, the screens alone are £300+ and you can't get any local shop to replace the glass only, as you need specialist tools it's no small task but if you’re looking to repair it, the quote you been quoted is pretty fair!
I know it’s too late but why on earth didn’t you purchase a case for your tablet? I’ve got the supcase on my Tab S6 LTE amount of times mine has gone flying across the room I would have had a shattered display and shattered rear glass but thanks to the case not a mark or crack!

I have a case. It was a hard drop.

Sorry for you. In case it is only a single crack - have you thought of only putting a protective glass above it? That way it is sealed and might be less visible. Maybe you want to share a picture.

The crack is almost invisible and I can't even feel it, but it's annoying that it happened. A local repair shop is sending the screen in for refurbishing when they have several orders lined up.

UPDATE: Sending it directly to Samsung turned out to be the best option. It was a total of $280, including an upgrade to two day shipping.
I dropped it off at UPS on Friday, it was received on Tuesday, and I got a notice that the repair was completed today (Thursday, Christmas Eve). Even with holiday delays, I should have it early next week.
At that rate, it's about the same price as a year of carrier insurance + deductible.
