Any ideas on the best/cheapest way on replacing the glass on my Vibrant (sgh-t959)? My screen broke down towards the bottom end of it and put 3 cracks running all the way up the face. I can still see my screen fine and the touchscreen still works, although super senitive around the point of impact, so i'm pretty sure all i need is the new gorilla glass. Any help is greatly appreciated/needed.

Hi, i have a digitizer with slight scratches, is there a filler i can use to fill the scratches and then put on a screen protector?
I got it second hand from someone who hasn't taken one bit of care with it, its a shame really, it works perfectly.
Everyone here knows that Motorola droid razr has a gorilla glass, so do I really need to put a screen guard on the phone? Why or why not?

That is up to you. Gorilla glass can scratch and break like any other screen. I use them because its easier to replace a scratch on a $10 protector than to replace my phone because of a scratch.

There was an article on yahoo testing the screen with & without protector. Keys didn't scratch either, and neither did pocket change. The two things the host tested were a nail file and then she ran a dremel across the screen. The nail file scratched the glass but not through the screen protector. The dremel results were the same. Some argue that the screen protector helps against drops but I'm not willing to test that one out.
I scratched my screen sometime on day one. its a hairline scratch and can't be felt but my eyes are drawn to it. It wasn't in a pocket with keys or change. I did have it the pocket of my khakis but the pockets were otherwise empty. I also put it face down on my couch a few times while I was transfering files to the SD card. Not sure how it got scratched but all I have to say is:
USE A SCREEN PROTECTOR OR YOU SCREEN WILL GET SCRATCHED. Mark my words.
I've had my RAZR for 5 months, I think. I finally managed to get my first hairline scratch last week. I can JUST see it when the sun hits it right. I hate screen protectors, and the actual screen feels so much better than any protector I've found. So I'd suggest not getting one.
I decided to not take any chances. I put a Klean Kare screen protector on it. Fits perfectly and lets your finger glide across the screen , not sticky or anything like that.
Thank you everyone for the advice.
I think I'll be getting a screen guard
Better safe than sorry.
Screen protectors are cheap.
Smart phones aren't.

I Originally had the KlearKare Bulk Invisible Screen Shield Protector which is a wet application and had issues with ripples and such not coming off so I decided to go for the dry application instead and bought the Halo Screen Protector Film Invisible (Clear) (3-Pack) which works great. It is smooth sliding and protects well against scratches, I like that they give you 3 as one will get scratched after use over time. (both are from amazon)
So, after a week of use; I am starting to get little scratches on the glass of the watch. Anybody have any ideas on how I could get a decent screen protector for the watch? I know there aren't any perfectly sized ones for this device but maybe somebody here already found one that fits.
You may be getting real scratches on the screen, but be aware that the sapphire-coating on the TS also can appear scratched when it really is just marked. To clean those markings off takes some fairly serious buffing, but you might find the screen was not really scratched and comes out clean again.
There are no screen protectors currently available specifically cut to fit the TS. You could cut one yourself, maybe using that peel-off sticker it shipped with.

I cut my own screen protector out of an old one (unused) that I had laying around. Turned out horrible.
It was the more rigid type and where the edge of the TrueSmart screen has a bevel the screen protector was just hanging out over it. It ended up collecting dirt and made it hard to access the back and menu swipe actions. I also considered cutting it back to only the actual screen portion but I figured that was just going to make those swipe actions even more miserable so I just tossed it.
My guess is that the only thing that would work would be one of the more flexible stretchable type screen protectors, not sure how well they would conform to the bevel on the glass though.
I've got a Galaxy S III (i9300) with a very shattered front glass. The display and digitizer works just fine though. Menu, back and home buttons too. Everything is working, i just need to replace the front glass. I've once replaced the whole front package (LCD, Glass, Digitizer) on a Galaxy S2 very successfully so i have some form of experience.
Will be my first time replacing only the front glass. Unfortunately i wont be able to put any LOCA there as i dont have any UV light. I do however some regular adhesive 2mm tape that i will put around the screen to prevent dust and stuff from coming in. Also i dont have a IR thermometer and i will be using a hair dryer. I know how hot it has to be by feeling it. I should almost not be able to hold my hands on the glass. It might take a very long time but if its possible to do it, im willing to try.
What i'm worried about is the glass shards that are in the middle of the screen. Most shards end at the edge of the screen so i can apply pressure there when im removing the shards. But the shards in the middle have all edges on the digitizer. I cannot apply any form of pressure towards the digitizer so im worried of how ill remove them. Also the left lower corner around the menu button is full with tiny shards. like 0.5mm-3mm shards. Im wondering what is the best way of removing them? BTW i still got the touch screen protection plastic on. It got bubbles now cuz of the cracks.
Here is a picture of how cracked it is. Its not exact but close enough. Paint is OP.
The black spot in bottom is where the glass is simply gone. It fell of after time. I put some tape over it to cover it up so nothing can fall in.
Any advice on how to remove these shards?
Very appreciated
I got a small little crack on the top left side of my s3. It doesnt spread to the display at all luckily :angel:
But im a bit afraid of glass pieces, so i applied screen protector on that crack.
The touchscreen is still working perfectly fine. But i wonder if there's any reason for the need of replacing it just in case.
No, if the crack doesn't spread it's safe to use, doesn't matter if the screen or digitiser gets damaged as they would all have to be replaced to fix the crack anyway.
