After one year, I finally broke my lcd. Sad.
I wanted to buy a new set of LCD-Digitizer kit from ebay. But there are oem parts and original parts(so called gorilla glass). Prices are $27 and $54.
Is it necessary to use gorilla glass? I mean, I knew it's better, but does the OEM one suck?
You want the Gorilla Glass. Tempered glass on a 5" screen breaks way too easily.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Hi! so after 1 week with my s2 my gorilla glass has 2 big scratches.. I read something about "hiding" it with a screen protector. Is this really possible? If yes, suggest me one to buy!! Thanks!
Don't see how you think a piece of plastic would be able to "hide" scratches. Buy the tools and get to work: how to repair scratches on gorilla glass.
I'd suggest moving to this section.
I have a cracked galaxy s3 screen that I want to replace by myself. Searching on ebay, I found several lens glass for sell under $20. Are these gorilla glass 2 or just standard glass material?
I only checked youtube videos and looks fairly straightforward. Any word of advice from people who had repaired their cracked screen by themselves?
There are a couple of good tutorials here on xda, search for those before you start.

Gorilla glass for $20? I don't think so, it will just be glass. Some are actually plastic.
you can replace just the glass (tutorial with video in general thread) but it is fiddly and needs a bit of skill

If you want to repair your broken glass, you have to replace the whole lcd assembly cause the glass cannot be separated from the lcd. It's impossible to get a Gorilla Glass 2 under $20. There are always crappy goods on ebay.

This is false, it has been done and as slappy said there are even videos of it being done successfully right here on XDA.
There is already a thread n video tutorial to replace glass. Just have a look in general section

Replaced just the glass, saved the digi/lcd (With video)
Thanks for the replies. That was the exact video I saw on youtube, making me want to search on ebay for lens glass. Actually I think it is the only video fixing the lens instead of replacing the whole lens + digitizer.
What I want to hear from people who had replaced their lens, how is the durability of the new cover glass? How is the thickness? I dont want to replace it only to have it break/scratch even easier than the original gorilla glass 2.
Thanks
Hello, does anyone know if it's possible to replace the Gorilla Glass 2 on the 920 with Gorilla Glass 1 or 3? The glass on my Zune HD was amazing - after using it for years I couldn't get any scratches on it, but on both my 900 and 920 I got scratches within the first few weeks of using it. I've purchased a screen protector on Amazon, but wondering if there's any way to purchase a replacement touch screen for the 920 made of another type of glass? Installing it's not a problem, but are there any retailers who sell Gorilla Glass 1/3 screens for it, or do you have to be an OEM to get Gorilla Glass?

You can't do that because obviously nobody has produced one so far, and most likely never will...also, your problem is probably related to the fact that the Zune HD didn't have oleophobic coating, while instead modern phones with GG tend to have it. Probably the scratches you noticed aren't even on the glass itself but on the coating. When you manage to scratch the real glass you can tell it by the fact that you're able too actually feel the scratch with your fingernail. Don't get me wrong tho, GG can still be scratched, no matter what, it's just tougher in general, so it's all up to your luck if you decide to go naked. If you wanna be 100% safe a screen protector is the only option, while instead if you wanna keep the natural look and feel of the glass while still having some sort of scratch protection the best option IMHO is picking one of those flip cases, at least the screen won't slide against the stuff you may happen to have in your pockets. You can either pick the one from Nokia, the CP600, or some of the cases from Nillkin which are cheaper and very decent too. I've ordered one myself, but shipping from Asia takes ages. I'll definitely post a review as soon as I get it.

Thanks for the information, I hadn't considered that it might be because of the coating. I got a screen protector for it so I'm happy Thanks!
Hi guys,
I just bought to me Huawei P10. I would like to ask, does the the phone come already with a screen protection? If yes what kind of glass is that?
After removing the plastic protection i noticed that there is a small glass or protection (very thin but is there) on the top of the screen. After applying a tempered glass on the top of it, because it is slightly bigger than that protection, there is a bubble of air all around the borders of the tempered glass.
So can anyone tell me what kind of glass is that that comes with the phone? It is easy to take it off? Should i substitute it by a tempered glass?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best Regards
It has Corning Gorilla 5 but no oleophobic coating under the factory preinstalled film, which is easily scratched. I have already removed mine and using this glass https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75089574&postcount=32 it is not a full screen but it is not too big and aplies well with no gaps.
Are people really removing that "Corning Gorilla 5" glass and replacing for a different one? Is not good enough? or is one of those debatable things?
Apparently now i have two tempered classes on the top of my screen.
I bought this one:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0759FWFTK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Should i use the "Corning Gorilla 5" that come with the phone, or the one I bought is better?
Or should i buy a better one like the one suggested by ylapas: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75089574&postcount=32
Thank you again.
I dont see how you can remove the Corning Gorilla 5 screen and use a glass screen protector on it. you have to have the screen on to put on the protector.
Does the phone comes with corning gorilla glass as a display protection. Because I was considered to buy this phone but I'm afraid that it doesn't come with any display protection. I looked up on GSMarena and samsung's official website but they have no information on it eventhough some several websites claim that the phone comes with gorilla glass (like kimovil). Please enlighten me, thank you
