I managed to scratch my Gorilla Glass where can I get my screen replaced? (Parts and service I'm scared to do it myself)
This place looks reputable. The have a pretty good video on how to do it. I just cracked mine on Sunday. Still not sure if I'm going to replace it or live with it.

Hi guys,
I just dropped my vibrant from 3 feet high and gorilla glass had a crack and half of the screen doesnt work and half of it shows random colors. Other than that it seems fine. Does it happened to someone else? I thought gorilla glass is uncrackable and Samoled is so elastic and durable but it seems opposite.
Should I send it to SamsungUSA or just buy a complete digitizer+glass+Samoled kits from ebay around 129$? Which one will be cheaper because I am afraid Samsung will charge a lot for screen replacement?
If you can help me I really appreciate it,
Thanks
If you have the insurance it is 135.00 with tmo or whomever they subcontract the insurance to. Otherwise check Globaldirect for cost. It usually will be cheaper there. Also, be aware that some replacement kits are not amoled but LCD kit so read the fine print on that as well.
Good luck
thanks, i am probably gonna order from ebay and change it myself. Globaldirect has minimum order restriction so its not useful for me
Did you check with Samsung directly for your regular warranty? The way these things usually work is that the normal warranty covers it until the 1 year is up -- no deductible. Since it is supposedly Gorilla Glass they should cover the glass from damage too. Be really charming when talking with them. Call back until you get a representative in your country too (during the day is safest.)
Let me know so I have it for future reference.

that's a misconception abt gorilla glass. its stronger than regular glass. its scratch n crack resistant but not scratch n crack proof. oh and samsung DOES NOT distribute their samoled screens to 3rd parties. all those.sellers on ebay are.selling regular LCD screen replacements.
I dropped my HTC Legend yesterday onto concrete, and now my screen is cracked. I've looked online to see if I could buy the part myself, and try and fix it myself as a local cell repair shop says it will cost 180$ to fix, for that price I'll just buy a brand new Legend and cut my losses with this one. Looking around online though, I'm unsure as to what I need to buy? I've found an LCD screen, or a digitizer... My touchscreen and all those functions work 100% all thats wrong is the glass is spiderwebbed pretty good. I'm thinking that I need the digitizer not the LCD screen? Or is there just a part thats just the glass? I'd post a picture of the phone, but I can't due to site restrictions.
Question to anybody that can answer:
Do I just need to replace the digitizer? The phone still works, it just has a terrible spiderweb crack in the screen.
Hi there, sorry to hear about your accident. It depends on if the LCD (the black underneath the glass) is also cracked. If just the clear glass is cracked then yes, you would buy the glass it has a film on the under side that has a ribbon attached and that is the glass and digitizer you would need replaced. If you also cracked the LCD you need both.
I have a brand new glass + digitizer, never used but tested to be working that I will sell to you for a fair price. We could setup an Ebay + Paypal listing to keep us both safe and protected. I will ship it out today via any carrier, even overnight if you want. Obviously if you want to get it tomorrow we have to finish the transaction earlier rather than later, or it would get there Wednesday instead of Tuesday.
If you are confident you can replace it, let me know, I have been wanting to sell it for awhile just haven't taken the time to list it. If it is going to help an xda member I would much rather do that than a stranger. Let me know what you think. Good luck with your screen!
Stop by my store and I'll replace it for you.
If you're in east TX that is.
i recently dropped my phone and it got a crack in the bottom right corner around the back button stretching up to the middle of the left hand side of the screen, and i need help repairing it.
Im not sure if i can just replace the glass myself or i need to replace the digitizer or any other parts as the screen and back button still work perfectly fine.
I'd also like to know whether this job is easy enough to do at home as i am on a low budget, however i dont have much experience fixing phones.
much appreciated if anyone can help me
Replace the screen assembly, glass plus digitiser and oled screen. Trying to unglue the glass is very hard and the heat can kill the phone.

Replacing the whole digitiser is a lot easier, but beware cheap(ish) ebay parts - I replaced my digitiser with an assembly from ebay, but the glass in the replacement broke very easily.... replaced it again and it's cracked again, without even having a hard knock. Nowehere near as sturdy as OEM parts. Screen still works so leaving it for now
Words of warning...
I attempted to replace the glass on my S3 after I dropped it. I have over 20 years experience as a computer engineer and access to loads of tools. I watched numerous YouTube videos on the process before I started yet still I managed to break the digitiser. In the end I bit the bullet and bought another brand new S3 for £200. The cheapo replacement glass I bought from eBay did not seem very sturdy either - I'm certain it's not gorilla glass. My advice would be to get it fixed professionally by someone who uses OEM parts but then again, how close in price would that be to a brand new phone?
I know that these threads exist for other phones and such but couldn't find one for my s3 that fits the current timeline. I dropped my phone from my pocket while walking and only cracked the glass part of the screen. Touchscreen works fine, there aren't any damages done to the actual screen part, I believe only the gorilla glass is cracked. Service wants $100-$150 to repair it but judging by the current phones that are out there is it worth repairing it? I could sell the phone for the parts at around $200-$300 and add up money to buy something like a Z2. What are your thoughts about this?
