Well last night was a good night. Playing pool, using msn and sending a few texts when... the shiny new HD went waltzing out of the palm of my hand and then... WHACK... right onto the edge of a table eek denting and chipping the damn front housing. Not ammused one bit
So my question for you boys and girls is... a front cover for the old Touch HD. Does anyone know where to get one from please?
Tried several chaps in Hong Kong via ebay but no joy.
Guessing the answer to this would come in pretty useful to more than just myself who has suffered this kind of cruel fate

Housing+chasis+cover
hello
you can buy from me for completely at $150
HTC TOUCH HD T8282 BLACKSTONE HOUSING+CHASIS+COVER
regard
anyone in the UK selling these please? thanks
and that priceabove is quite high! you can get the cover and digitiser for $10 more on ebay.
Saw a complete housing @ brando for $ 79.50, so it's far cheaper than ugn53's.
Shipment seems cheap also.
BTW, never bought from brando, so I have no experience with them.
I've bought Screen protectors from Brando in the past. Their website is trustworthy.
Sorry to hear about your predicament. Hope it works out. (I'd die if the same happened to my HD !)
This is why i insure my phones... i pay nothing luckly due to my contract but 6 quid for others and it covers accidental damage and loss. I have used in on my old phones (Kaiser and Hermes ETC) i have a 15 quid excess....
Insurance???
I have Orange Care to but... how can you wangle it so i can get one on insurance for something like this? Surely you'd have to tell a porkie somewhere along the lines, wouldn't you?
Nice but not quite right...

Sadly mate, if you look at the contents of that package, it says nothing about a FRONT cover... have a look.......
Features
Replacement housing for your HTC Touch HD.
Package Contents
One middle chassis
One back cover
One battery cover
Nice effort though!
Sorry for you mishaps but at least it didn't hit your screen...
Insurance...
... so that was a decent idea. If anyone fancies doing what i did should they get into this situation, i just rang orange SIM upgrades, registered my new SIM, waited 10 mins and then rang through to Orange insurance.
Told them i simply copied my contacts over and upon switching SIM's back while i waited for my new one to be activated, the brand new HD, due to being very shiny and a little bit slippery (weell thay are a bit, aren't they!) wen right through my hand and hit my desk leaving a very nasty dent with a rough edge.
£15 quid later, a new one is out to me between 9 and 1pm tomorrow
Happy days are here again! lol
*THINK* Now, should i stick the Orange ROM back in it?! LOL

No need. Told em i did the sim swap as they told me to for insurance purposes and it fell out of my hand due to being shiny and handed on the edge of my desk. That's the truth... almost! Cost me 15 quid but hey, i was in credit anyway so no biggie!!!
me sits in teh corner and cries - little un decided it would be fun to scrape my phone face down across a stone fireplace - no insurance = unhappy zoomee.
Balck Stone Service Manual
Hi
i am facing a similar problem mate , my HD slipped out of my hand and bang hit the asphalt in the street , the bottom part of the front cover got a nasty dents.
I went to HTC care center in Dubai and they confirmed i cant replace the frame alone , i have to replace the whole LCD . Check page 88 of the service manual.
The cost of replacing it would be 234.128 USD (860 AED).
i wont pay that for a dent , at least for the time being , the device is fully functional.

I'm curious, was it actually a new handset?
Because Orange tend to just give out refurbs.
So I got my Flyer on Friday, only to see after one transportation in the bag and ~ 1 hour of total usage that I had my first small but noticeable scratches on the display. Even further, I got one a little more visible when writing with the stylus today. Deriving from my experience with HTC devices from the last couple of years, and avoiding playing in a sandbox with it, I thought it was safe to not buy an extra screen protector.
So, how do your Flyers perform? Same experience? Had been asking in another forums where no-one else experienced the same, so I wonder whether this is just a factory fault on mine or if it is that sensitive to scratches in general...
Cheers

None here
I don't really see any on mine! I am kinda worried now however, maybe I should buy an invisibleSHIELD lol... I haven't had a screen protector since my N1 days! I would drop HTC a line, they were really prompt to answer my questions, and I figure getting their opinion is probably a good option!
Hmm, that is strange. I don't have any on mine. I thought these were made with Gorilla Glass?
No issues here, but using matt screen protector now.

None on mine as the first thing I did was put the "invisible" shield on. I don't trust the zero scratches concepts and claims. I always play it safe. You won't believe it, my TP2 is still scratch free for the next happy owner.
Always protect you expensive investment.
You guys are too clever, hehe. Contacted HTC support und will see what they will tell me about my issues...
Already got a deep scratch on it and a ton of micro scratches. Not too happy about that. I could live with the micro scratches. But the big one is really going to bother me.
First one to experience the same... oh well, not a single-case problem it seems. Scratches are really an issue, considering you're not going to use it in lab conditions (weren't they meant for mobility?).
I didn't want to.take a chance, so I'm only using it with a screen protector
I am using the Samsung Galaxy Tab Platinum Easel Folio case (purchased at Best Buy) - tight fit but works perfectly and looks good.
Yep it is a scratch magnet. I really cannot believe that this is GG on this tablet as my sammy tabs screen is much more resilient. Scratches on mine and I have no idea how they got there. Waiting on a protector from ebay and treating it very carefully until then.

How does the pen fare with the screen protector? Everything still good?
invisibleSHIELD
I installed a Zagg iShield on mine today, the pen kind of drags, which had me worried. But y'all that reported scratches, question are you using European models or the US model per chance? I just wonder if that has anything to do with it?
European model. Am thinking of sending it back & ordering a new one elsewhere. No report back from HTC on the matter.
Mh - I guess the best option would be to use a cheap and simple screen protector for now to protect the screen from scratches.
There should be some better ones out once the Flyer is on the market for some time. I bet those will be better suited for the use of the pen.
Regarding the pen a thinner protection "shield" might be better.
Apart from that I think if you don't intend to sell the device at some point I don't really care about scratches after all. My old Samsung has millions of them but actually you can't see it when the screen is on and I won't using it with the screen off. For me that's a typical "So what?" question.
However, I'll get a screen protector too
haha

I've had the same issues in former WM phones which required a stylus. The invisibleshield films are slightly spongy and increase drag on the stylus. Over a while, I noticed some "orange peel" effect on the film also... but that maybe my poor application.
The boxwave clear or anti-glare films are what I'm hoping to find... I may order the matte screen protector from UK Amazon.

I would really love to do so as well, but the Amazon shop seems to be the only one having them, but unfortunately is not shipping to Germany. Does anyone know an alternate shop that ships them elsewhere?
No scratches here, been using it since it came out, also been using the pen on here no scratches or minor ones either. Got mine from best buy.
Screen protector
So I am learning to live with the iShield everything seems ok, the pen still works fine, however the drag is annoying only sometimes, bearable! Oh so my friend's Flyer is still a-ok screen protectorless, and our demo model at work has nothing on it, however that is only people tapping it with fingers. And it seems to me that the European models are the only ones people are seeing scratches on (in this thread at least) and the Best Buy US models aren't exhibiting the problem. Maybe there was a bad batch of glass in those models? This is all speculation of course!
Hey Guys,
I scratched my notes's screen a bit in the middle in 2-3 spots while going camping. Looking at the phone makes me want to flush it down the drain!
I called bell and told them i had all kind of issues and they told me that they do not do any exchanges, they send phones to Samsung and they decide if the phone gets repaired or exchanged.
So my question is , did any of you deal with samsung repair center and did they send you a refurbished phone, or your same phone with scratches all over the place?

Well u cannot lie and say that u have all these issues especially when u clearly don't and only want a new one cuz of your screen. Its called a screen protector and a otter box. That's your own fault and if u lied to them about issues they will try to duplicate the issues and will only attempt to fix anything they may see. Quite pathetic to lie to get a new one cuz u weren't prepared for your adventure .

you can put a protector on the screen now and hide most of the scratches.. i bought a phone and the seller did this.. very very hard to tell, but with the protector off substantial scratch..

Ditto that. A Zagg screen should fill in the scratches and make them almost invisible and prevent further scratches. Also, comes with a lifetime warranty.
I've dealt with Samsung warranty over charging port/cable issues and they sent me a new device rather than a refurb. I retained my own S-Pen, Battery, and sim card. You can send them your phone for whatever reason you want, but once they get it and realize that you just wanted a new device cause you scratched your screen they will most likely charge you for the device.
I agree that you've really got to look at yourself as the cause of the problem. You could have gotten a quality screen protector for minimal cash, and if you can afford the phone and service you can afford to protect it.
Why even take your phone camping? You should never take a phone like the Note camping with you. Keep a backup flip phone and slide your sim in while your camping. People camp to get away from the world not to bring it with them. Also if your gonna cheat Samsung cause you made a mistake and messed your screen up, you will probably never learn your lesson. Buy another Note or deal with your mistake after all Samsung did nothing wrong. Its your fault not theirs. Not only is it lame and dishonest its a crime to scam for free property. Scratched phones are not covered with warranty, but real malfuntions are so I guess your outta luck.

wow, this thread has gone out of proportion! Lets put some facts clear :
1. I did not post a complete post as i was really tired and sleepy ( sorry about that )
2. I am having LTE connectivity issues and 50% drop calls on LTE. we changed SIM cards already and Bell told me to get my phone repaired
3. I got Some pink screens about 10 times in total which worried me. Got them on stock GB, on Perfection ICS Leaks, and on Stock ICS
4. I always had a screen protector, but had few issues with it. It got dirty on the top part next to the front camera, and it had all kind of lines because of the s-pen ( I guess they sold me the wrong type of screen protector as this one sucks! )
I endured it for 6 months but got fed up and ordered a Spigen Glas.t from eBay. I got fed-up of the screen protector meanwhile and i took it off last weekend. Since then ive been scratching my phone all the time, in my pockets, with quarters or keys, or plastic cards!!!This gorilla screen is not really good on the Note.
Anyways sorry for the confusion, hope i cleared out everything.

Just because it's gorilla glass doesn't change the fact that you're careless. I don't use a screen protector either, but then again my note always has a dedicated pocket. Gorilla glass isn't diamond, if something has a higher hardness rating, it will scratch the screen. Plain and simple. Pay for the repair or get a screen protector to fill the scratches in. It's your fault. Samsung will replace phones for manufacturers defects, but the screen scratches will take precedence over the other issues, as those aren't manufacturers defects. Take it as a lesson learned, you pay for expensive ****, so take care of it like it's expensive ****.

Gorilla glass is very weak. The only screens I have scratched or broke were gorilla glass.
For $200 Samsung will replace your front glass, LCD, and digitizer. It is one unit. They will fix your other issues for free by flashing a basic stock rom and recovery, then see if you have bad hardware. It will take ten days. Call them.
So I have a shattered screen on my HTC Evo LTE. (finally after about 6 drops on concrete)
I am more then happy to try and replace it myself. While looking the internet over it looks as if the HTC One X's screen is similar if not identical to the LTEvo. Is this true? When I look on Amazon for the screen I find that most of the screens fit say HTC One X/HTC Evo 4G LTE.
I just wanted to make sure first before I make a purchase! Thank all.
If anyone has pointers, please feel free to chime in!!!
PS the screen and phone still works, it is just the outer glass that broke, so I am not in a hurry and am doing my research.
They are very tough to find at the moment from most suppliers. I know there are some on ebay here and there. I know someone with a few, but more so a private vendor.
I would not get a one x screen, you never know if any of the flex cables are different and be a useless purchase.
Thanks! I will keep on researching.
http://youtu.be/7F_uMEPJgHs
Oh man, not a fun shatter. The first week the SIII came out, we had 4 people bring them in to get fixed, the screen alone is around 250 at least if you can find it.
Screen protectors are slightly different between the 2 and u can notice the difference. The LTEVO is more square so u need one made for the evo 4G ltenot the one x
There are some people on xd a that'll sell them. Got mine for $60. Just learn how to install it before you break your phone.

I recently had the same experience. I ordered an allegedly OEM digitizer+LCD assembly from etradesupply (around $110) and had it installed by a local shop. Unfortunately, it's not perfect. Dust has gotten under the screen, the digitizer seems less sensitive, it attracts more fingerprints/smudges, and I've just noticed a stuck pixel. I wish I would've paid extra and gone with an official HTC repair.
I bought a replacement non OEM LCD from amazon for 55$ its better than original. I installed it my self and reused the digitizer. I am very happy with results, plus I don't think I could have done it for less $.

Hi to everyone,

Do you have some shop to recommend? I'll be so much thankful.

I bought this,
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AT6IDLI/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
it works great, though I doubt it's actually "Original" as the screen seems to scratch much easier, or really at all, where my original gorilla glass never did. That said I bought a screen protector a week later. FYI, it's 25 now but I paid about 80 bucks for it. So, you really can't go wrong.
Also .... this seems like a minor thing but save the mesh screen over the speaker for the ear on the old screen and see if you can reuse it. On all the screens I've bought this is never included, and the one on my old screen on the 920 was torn so I left it off, now I have a single fleck of dust on the screen that drives my OCD up the wall.
there are some great guides on youtube for it too.
