My dog chewed on my tab a little bit, and merely cosmetic but I'd like to replace the back cover. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement?

Try Ebay. I bought a glass digitizer from a seller in china and I replaced my glass when I dropped it. Easy replacement so you should be able to do it yourself.

I just cracked my screen and HTC wants to charge me $230 to fix it. I can do the repair myself but can't find the parts. Anyone have any idea where to get these parts?

I just replaced a few 2 sets of these.
The digitizer can be purchased on the net but I received mine from ebay here

If this is what you cracked be careful removing as to not damage the LCD (Heat gun helps tremendously)
The LCD is tougher to find but you can get them on ebay here as well.
I purchased mine here took about 1.5 weeks to receive since not in the US.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/260906551668?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 $82.00
It is also available in the states through this place.

I would borrow a good heat gun to separate the digitizer from the unit. You will not need to remove all parts on the rear of the unit. Back cover, battery, top main board, and unplug the digitizer and the LCD. The rest will be removed on the screen side. It is more difficult than standard units since they use a good adhesive to hold the screen. There are also some clear pieces than need to be saved as well. Both worked great but still you will have about a $150-170 invested. Since you can by a new unit on sale sometimes for around 230-240, I would weigh my options. If you are on Sprint, think will keep an account, they have it less than 200.00 with a contract. If it is only the digitizer, then by all means, fix it yourself. Things to think about.
WOW parts are almost as much as I paid for it....I'm just going to toss it and get the Transformer Prime
I would be interested in the unit if you want to sale it at a reasonableprice. Pm me. Thanks
hey guys, new to the thunderbolt world. I got my hands on a thunderbolt with a broken digitizer and lcd and I am about to buy a replacement off of Ebay. Im currently looking at this one in particular: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-LCD-dis...576?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43b5e0e0f0 Has anyone replaced one without much trouble? Ive seen youtube videos on it and I feel as though I will be able to do it myself.
Thanks for your feedback.
The hardest part is the digitizer. Male sure to but some double sided adhesive, also I would look at newegg or amazon. I think you'd be better off. Also I don't know if its the same with the bolt but with the Droid incredible there were two different types of LCD so check the part number on the back of the LCD first. You'll also need a little toolkit which you can get from amazon for about 5 bucks. The safe pry tool I got was crap. But you can use the tony screwdriver it comes with just be careful.
Also if you get it from newegg or amazon it will get here quicker it'll take about two weeks to get to the states from china.

The bolt only has one type of screen.

I've replaced this before. I highly recommend getting an OEM LCD and digitizer. They are worth the extra money compared to those coming out of China, I promise.
The replacement is easy. Just follow a good video and be patient. The only thing, though, it IS difficult to get the plastic piece under the softkeys to lay back right. If you're positive you'll never have to pull it open for a replacement again, put some glue on it to help hold it back in place. It usually has one side that won't go down right... but this isn't ALWAYS the case. Just try prying that plastic strip off very carefully.

My back is a little squeaky and was wondering if anyone knew where to purchase a replacement back. Ive found everything from full front housing, screen and digitizer but cant find the back.
The second one that I sent back due to manufacture problems had that squeaky fat back issue I just called AT&T told them that the glue that's holding the back glass on is coming apart -disintegrating- and eventually the phone will come completely apart. they sent me a new one no problem. Manufactures warranty is a year no one had it longer than that. get yourself a new phone.

I have a spare shell (back, sides, top and bottom including bezels) that I got off of eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=150951735574&view=all&tid=868236246005
So a friend of mine recently shattered her note 2... what are her options in going about getting this fixed/replaced?
As the title states the screen, digitizer, and glass is shattered.
Screen and Digitizer come as one unit, so even if only the glass was broken, you'd need to replace both. You can fix it, but it requires a lot of work disassembling the phone. There are a few how to videos on Youtube for it. Also, the displays aren't cheap. Last I saw, they were >$200 for a new display.
Yea best option is for her to use insurance claim for device. Its $99 and in most cases cheaper than getting it fixed. I recently shattered my screen and replaced the phone thru asurion. Here in houston cell phone repair stores wanted $140 to repair.

Yeah he's right..I smashed my screen and bought just the bezel of eBay then tried to heat up the front like everyone does and pull the glass away but, the glass and screen came up and then the digitizer broke. Just get it replaced its not worth trying to fix it yourself.

If digitizer is broken you have to send to Samsung for repair. Samsung repaired my screen+digitizer on my S3 for $140.
Having never changed a screen before my uncle got his changed in an hour or so. Just used a heat gun and pried it off. Taped the new one back on. Even switched to white in the process
You can change the front glass by itself, but if the screen or digitizer are broken, then you have to get all 3 together, at least from everything I've seen. For the OP, it's not going to be a cheap fix no matter what is done, but insurance will be cheapest, if available.
Samsung will replace the whole screen for $179. That includes parts labor and shipping both ways.
I made a video on youtube.com/outleradam about repairing the screen with a new one.

Adam, your video doesn't show about 2/3 of the process. It is just a black video screen.

Only the glass is broken, the rest of the phone works perfectly.
and maybe should the best video my way of how to replace it
The reason you want to purchase the screen with the digitizer is that is is very hard to put the glass on the digitizer with double sided adhesive tape that all sellers of the glass alone don't provide. So most end up trying and get this.
then end up buying the them combined. Good luck but asurion is the cheapest rout for most.

Hi everyone,
After replacing my S3 glass, My digitizer only sometimes works
For example I can usually scroll and type a little. But cannot use swype, or zoom in or anything like that.
I think this is because I didn't really any glue left at all.
The replacement screen had no glue on it, Whereas the original glass had glue on the back, to stick onto the digitizer/lcd
Should the replacement glass have come with this glue or not?
Thanks
There are no official replacement parts. For official support, take it to a samsung service center. Whether or not it has glue depends on the seller. The glass is not meant to be replaced, Samsung always replaces the screen as well, so that's why you're having problems.
If I buy this
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=171037960172
can I put it between the glass & the lcd/digitizer?
No you can't I changed glass on my friends galaxy s3 works fine but is not genuine part you will get problems
