I shattered my digitizer a few months ago and I finally scraped up enough money to buy a replacement.
I've read a few horror stories on Amazon about people buying crappy parts that wigged out.
Could anyone recommend a place that's reliable and ships to Canada?
Try eBay.
In ebay there is only one seller. Costs US$40. I would like to know where to buy it too. Got a dead stripe on my phone like a week ago. Going nuts with it. After fixing, im thinking in selling the phone, while it still holds some value.
There are many sellers. Search for "Atrix 4G". Don't include digitizer, screen, etc.
I found 43 different auctions when doing a search for "atrix 4g digitizers" so theres more than one. Here is a link to what would be the easiest option as from experience just replacing the digitizer is really hard.

Thanks for quick responses everyone.
I was hoping you guys could weigh in on what criteria should I buy the digitizer (with frame)?
I've seen a lot options and it's kind of overwhelming. Some are used, some are third party and some are straight from the factory OEM.
Has anyone worked with third party parts and found a drop in performance?
Experienced people recommend not bothering with 3rd party c**p (not worth the trouble) and only ever getting pure OEM.

You need to check the reputation of the seller before you buy from E-Bay.
And even than you are not sure about the quality of the battery.
The best is to buy the original battery recommended by HTC.
Actually, the best thing to do is, whenever you even remotely consider buying something from ebay, have a friend whack you in the head with a brick. There's a reason why the prices on ebay are so low...it's cause 99% of the products are either advertised as something they are not, or the seller is a straight up scammer and won't send you anything at all. Feedback is useless; there are networks of scammers out there who generate feedback for each other that appears to be legitimate.
If I sound a bit disgruntled, I'm sorry, but so far over the past 3 months I've lost over 500$ on ebay and STILL waiting for paypal dispute resolution to take care of it.

......................although; one can always have a great experience, bar the 2 cars I have bought! (Cars were under £200!)
Ebay is good but you have to do alot of research, just received the Seinheiser CX500 headphones.......fantastic and the world is far away due to the quality.........
Will
That's cool...I know I have had SOME good transactions on ebay, but I just hate the fact that when things go wrong they seem to tell you that they will help fix it when they dont...they need to regulate things more, because there are so many scammers on ebay...i would bet my life that there are at least 100 people gettimg scammed right this second
BTW Seinheiser is great..I've tried those and I liked them
For wired headphones though i use Ultimate Ears in ear monitors...theyre amazing but they cost ALOT
I'm trying to some some studio quality bluetooth headphones at the moment with no avail
Ebay
I get just about all of my phone accessories on ebay. Most of the stuff while cheap does what they say. True feedback does not mean much but I have bought all my extra batteris there and saved a lot of money. $ 12 for a battery there compaired to $40-50 eleswhere. I think it is worth a try.
I second surgex0. When stuff goes wrong ebay/paypal doesn't care.
And batteries - I got some 'new' batteries once that were original branded but lasted 20% my store bought batteries did. I'd stay away.
Well, this happend sometime ago but i figured i'd share it just in case.
so, i dropped the stylus pen (for the hunderdth time or so) and it fell directly on the nib, cracking it almost into two halfs.
i started looking for replacements nibs. HTC had no idea what i was talking about, and after a short search i found this:
https://store.motioncomputing.com/TABproducts.asp?SolutionCatID=95&LevelID=3&TabID=1
i have no idea why or how htc, thinkpad and this guys all have the same pens but they are the only ones selling nibs.
i purchased the 5 for 13 kit, got it after a while from a friend living in the states. (shipping is ridiculously expensive out of the USA).
the replacement took about a second, you simply yank one out, and shove the new one back inside.
it's not the original color, but it works just the same.
so incase anyone else should encounter a destructive fall - its a solution.
Hey,
I recently broke the screen(well, the glass, but apparentally I hae to change the whole screen in order to have an uncracked glass) of my S2. I've been looking for a replacement for a few days. I found quite a few on eBay, but I'm only wondering if they're fake or not.
This one says it is not fake
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-New...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item48555c7d27
This one's a bit cheaper but doesn't say it's not fake
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-Digitiz...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3f1864208d
So how do I know if I'm buying a genuine or a fake screen? What's the difference between fake and real? Has anyone got any links for cheap genuine screens?
Thanks.

Me and my father know eBay very well.A tip is to look at the seller's rating(positive feedback and how many stars),and then look how many times was the product sold.If these are good,with rating over 99%,that means the product and the seller's other products are good,and not fake.You can buy any of them.
Yeah okay, the seller seems legit. Thanks.
Both them sellers had several negative feedback.Youd need to look deeper into what item it was for and what others say about that item.

Wrong thread.
Ok...so a few weeks ago, I was looking at replacing the screen on my wifes S2 (same problem...cracked glass, but good screen) did an eBay search and probably came up with the same search results as you......like you, I wanted to be certain that I was buying the genuine article. So I took some screenshots of the listing and emailed Samsung with them and asked about the legitimacy of the listing........
Samsung replied that they DON'T supply ANY ebay sellers and that they weren't prepared to verify that the screen was genuine........
Edit....the seller in your first link is the seller I contacted Samsung about......
Sent from my rooted, de bloated, stock JB powered S2 via PhilZ kernel and XDA developers app
In the past month, I have tried twice to buy a "new" Logitech Note Pro 12.2 folio keyboard. The first, from Ebay, arrived and I touched its keys and immediately heard a weird crunching noise. The keys would not really even depress. It was obvious to me the keyboard was a retread... packaged to look new but horribly faux repaired. I sent it back for a refund. So then I went to Amazon, and bought one from Amazon. Unbelievably, it too was obviously a badly repaired and repackaged broken keyboard -- the right shift key was actually coming off, and underneath it a bunch of glue and white plastic preventing the key from even depressing. I just contacted Amazon and am returning it immediately. I really want one of these... they are on sale all over the place for around 46 bucks (give or take). But I'm very wary at this stage of buying any of 'em. Sigh....
Update: Just bought a kinda raggy taggy one for 35 bucks from a guy who'd actually used it. It has some wear, but at least the keys will work. Anyway, just a heads-up for others looking.
That was a good price as BestBuy is asking $93.99 now.
Did you buy them from Logitech, or a random seller?
In my experience you should always buy these things in a sealed box from an official reseller store. And if they're 50% cheaper than the retail store, that's never without a reason....

I do tend to live on the ragged edge. A missionary's budget doesn't allow for a lot of squeaky-clean geekdom. The two keyboards purchased were from resellers, but large ones -- one actually sponsored directly by Amazon.
This last purchase, counter-intuitively perhaps, I have made intentionally from someone who is selling their keyboard they personally used. At least that way I know it works. Cheapest they are new is near 100 bucks, even now. Will let everyone know if the keyboard works for me. Heh.
Just be careful out there buyin'.
Blessings.

Keyboard came, works fine.
My first keyboard years ago had a hidden flaw that took a year for me to notice. The sync button was broken. I bought a used one for $33 and it works fine.
got a new one directly from Logitech and it had a broken Bluetooth button. They sent me a new one and I opened the faulty one to see if i could fix it. I have to say I wasn't impressed with the flimsy nature of the button & switch.
Uh oh. I just ordered an ebay one. I'll keep my fingers crossed until it arrives.
Edit: I got mine and it seems fine. It was sold by seller: winnerauctions for $41.99 and he's got more than 10 left to sell for anyone interested. Mine didn't come with an instruction manual or the original cable, just a generic cable and the keyboard wrapped in bubble wrap. But it works and seems not to have the issues others have mentioned above.
Just picked up one on ebay for $30 shipped. Hopefully no issues I can't work around. Did notice there are A LOT of them up on ebay for $40 or less listed as refurbs. Can only assume Logitech does have issues with these.
I don't know what forum to post this in, but since I got the S8 Plus and spend most of my time here I decided to post the question here.
Anyway, I was thinking about opening up a small retail shop or kiosk that sells stuff such as phone cases (not cheap china crap malls, ebay carry) chargers, tablet cases etc. and I was wondering if anyone knew who good distributors are and how much the minimal orders from them have to be.
I emailed a few of the case manufacturers directly such as Spigen and a couple others but they wouldn't give me any info except canned reply to fill out the dealer form. I want to know to see how much it cost and if the business idea is feasible or not.
I know many stores buy their stuff from distributors that carry the same brands such as Otterbox, Speck instead of being a direct dealer from the manufacturer so I was wondering if contacting them might be a better help.
