If you living in UK, will cost you 80£

Woah. That doesn't look like screen protector scratches!!?!
That looks like you've cracked the glass. I should know what it looks like because i've done it to my GS2 before :\

Agree, especially because of the shape of the "scratch" to the lower left of the home button. That's a crack.

Indeed.
And it cost me $220 (Australian Dollars) to get my screen replaces. Huge hit to the pocket.

That looks like a crack and not a scratch! Did you drop it or what? Usually it costs much money to replace the screen.

After looking at the pic on my pc and not my phone, I'll state categorically that there is no way on this planet that that's not a crack.

To me it looks like an ice skating rink!

Ouch! That is one big crack! Considering how tuff Gorilla Glass is, that was one huge impact.
there are tutorials on Youtube, and even here on XDA that will teach you how to replace the glass on your phone, but unless you have all the tools, I think you should consider sending your phone to an authorized service center.

[Q] Broken Glass only, amoled and digitizer work fine.

Well, my first drop on my week old phone was apparently enough to "almost" completely kill it.
Anyway, i'm looking for a new glass screen for it. I found some on eBay but they only have the international Galaxy Note glass panel. Does anyone know where i could get the glass for the i717?

No, I prefer to run my phones bare. Never had a drop quite this bad.
It was from a good 3-4 feet right onto its screen
I suggest waiting a bit more. The phone just got launched so there are not many accessories for it now.
Btw it's good to know that the note really has gorilla glass. Your screen would have died completely if it was a traditional LCD.

I totally agree about the gorilla glass. However I feel that the size of the note leads to more flex in its chassis.
The glass is only 15 bucks for the international note, hopefully they get one for ours.
Sorry to hear about your disaster . Hope a screen shows up soon.

Makes me glad I ordered a case even more now.

I wish that was a wallpaper with dark marks making it look like broken glass, but alas it's not... It's real sad, but that could easily been prevented by putting a case. But i don't blame you at the same time because it his a lot more nicer without a case...

[Q] Replacing the glass on this, is it too far gone? -opinions?

Hi guys, just looking at a phones glass and trying to decide whether it's too far gone to repair. I know it needs a new button also. What do you think?

Ouch.
Well anything is possible but depends on how much money are you willing to spend. Try finding a good deal on ebay for the entire front with digitizer, lcd and button like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...058?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item337f67fb42

You don't think this can get done with just the glass and not the whole LCD replaced?

well anything is possible but from my prior experience with other phones, the adhesive holding the digitizer and lcd together is very strong. When trying to pull it apart it usually cracks the lcd...
So from now on I just usually buy the entire assembly.
The glass is not too hard to replace. I broke mine (not nearly as bad as yours). It took me about an hour to get the old glass off, clean it all up and install the new glass.
Make sure to keep the heat on (I just used a hair dryer) and slowly work your way around. After having a look at the photo I'm not sure the digitizer or buttons will work though. They are both attached by a very thin ribbon at the bottom of the phone, which if damaged won't work.
Holy crap it still works!

Tab Survived 13 foot drop!

Just about to come down the stairs, I trip, then bye bye tab over the railings!

Amazing thing is, the only mark I can see is a slight nick on the corner, but it's that small, it may have been there a while and I've just not noticed it, considering it's plastic, it's still very well built. Lol.

You're damn lucky, my tab fell once out off my hands and i already had a small nick in my upper left corner
Blimey! I must be lucky as it's no where near as bad as that! I'll post a pic in a mo...
Edit: It's more of a graze than anything else.

2 options... Or you are darn lucky, or i must be an unlucky person in technology... Broke my laptop, pc, and mobile in 2 weeks (hardware issues) and accidently dropped my tablet and had a pretty hard nick in it... but that's already a while ago
Mine dropped from 3foot up, needless to say it shattered the digitiser. Though, it did me a favour as now I have an all white tab rather then white back black front... Horrible design...

Wow. It feels really flimsy in my hands.
Like I could just snap it in half no problem.
Mine survived an 8 foot drop directly on the corner, and just has a small white scratch. This is just about the toughest non-rugged tablet out.
Anyway, it may be a little shock resistant, but it's NOT waterproof in any way lol, my first tablet Didn't survive Pukkelpop 2011 (if you don't know what happened on this festival, youtube it) the tab was lying in my tent and became a little moist, not really wet... Mother nature decided to kill it anyway but i went back to the store and told them what exactly happend and they gave me a replacement...months later... after a horrible story

HTC DNA with Cracked Screen [FS]

I know that swappa.com is used to sell phones, but I see I am not able to list phones that have a cracked screen.
Wanted to put it on XDA first, to see if anyone is interested for the phone with original box, 2 OEM Chargers and a diztronic matte black TPU case for $215 buyer pays whatever shipping they want. If not I will end up putting it on ebay.
This phone is unlocked, rooted, and S-OFF'd and currently running CM 10.1 23May2013 build.
See pictures. (NOTE: in one of the bootloader pictures I circled in blue where there is another crack, but not showing up)
Phone is still fully functional with the cracked screen.
If you have any questions please let me know/PM me.

I hear ya on that one. I have had numerous phones before and never cracked the screen. Since I had the DNA I have done it multiple times!

Converting Black to White

I just changed my Black 32gb to white. Much easier than I thought! I guess I'm on the only one with a white 32gb ?.
I ordered all the parts on eBay. Rear housing, white fingerprint scanner, and white SIM tray.

Nice! 6P got awful repairablilty scores but it's really not bad at all. I think most people are just scared to heat it up enough to soften the glue and they wind up shattering the camera glass prying on it. I changed mine from aluminum to black. I left the aluminum fingerprint sensor though. Edit- Looks like we use the same cheapo Stanley heat gun too.

Lol yup, I think we do. I was nervous too due to the repair scores. I watched a few videos and it seemed pretty easy. Changing the fingerprint scanner was super easy to. It did help I had a screen separator tool too. I'm really happy with the white!

nicely done, one day i will get a replacement so i can keep for any repairs after my nexus protect expires.
I picked up the graphite because I didn't want to spring for the 64gb to get white.. I'm happy with it.. But that is one creative way to get white on a 32gb, well done!!
