Stumbled across this link. Seems pretty legit at 5 dollars each. You gotta buy at least 5 units though. Way cheaper than over 100 dollars for one.

Going to risk the purchase. Will report on the quality of the LCDs once they come in.
Thanks man I'd love to know if they are good. If so I'm buying a bunch and selling them at 30 dollars each.
Holy ****! i will be really suprised if they are good - hell i will buy a few at that price. and hey, doesn't this mean we can change the color of our Gnotes too? all you would need is the back plate
Hmm I would like to grab one. Guess I'll need to put some cash in the bank!

Yeah I'm pretty sure it means that you can change the colour of your G-Note for like 6 bucks.
Anyone receive an order?

Does this include the actual OLED display too?! My Note was a display model...still looks good, but has a bit of burn in (not bad, just slightly noticeable with certain colors) and I'm sure the screen isn't as bright as it was when I first got it...
I'd easily pay $25-30 for a new screen!
Edit: I emailed the seller/supplier about minimum order (since I don't need 5), asked for current pricing, and asked (just to be clear) if this is indeed the digitizer AND OLED screen.
I know all of this is covered on the product page...but something about getting a Note digitizer and the OLED all for $5 a pop just seems improbable. I mean, this has to be GROSSLY under even manufacturing costs...let alone retail costs. I would think the materials alone would be well over $5.
EDIT: JUST GOT A REPLY FROM THE SELLER AND THE PRICE ON ALIBABA IS INCORRECT. THE ACTUAL PRICE FOR EACH IS ~$160 OR MORE. SORRY FOLKS!
Yeah I guess 160 isn't so bad. They should fix that price or sell them for the posted price

What? They should be similar prices, no one in their right mind would sell an HD screen for $3-5...

I replaced the LCD+digitizer on my iPhone 4S last year and the whole thing including shipping and a tool kit (couple screwdrivers, etc) was like 30 bucks, and quality was identical to the original. These things are cheap to make. They're made in such high quantity that the marginal cost is very low and these are probably overruns or something. That said, $160 is about as ridiculous on the high side as $5 would be on the low side.
Do you know what the cost difference are in manufacturing a 5.3" AMOLED 1280x800 screen with Wacom digitizer is vs. a 3.5" IPS 960x640 screen with capacitive digitizer?
Honest question...not being a smartass or anything. I think the Note's screen would be considerably more expensive.
the iPhone replacement digitizers are not original quality, most are close but dont include certain part like sensor braces. Just did an iPhone 5 and it was slightly different but for price vs quality most people wont pay the difference.

Ok, here is what just happened to my Galaxy s2 today...
And I talked to few stores, but they all told me that they cannot replace only glass, it has to be replaced with display so it would cost me 170 euros, so, is that my destiny or they just want to take as much money they can?
Oh, boy... That gem is bleeding...
I'm from the Philippines and I don't know how much 170 euros cost. But try to weigh the cost, sir. If you think that it's almost the price of a new unit, you're better off buying a new one. But if you think that it's a good deal, then good deal it is.
If you are handy you can try to buy the parts on ebay and replace it yourself, should cost you around half that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253969
Fail that, look around, even for dealer replacement that is pretty high.

I just bought a used phone from a for sale site tonight just so I can steel the glass/lcd/digitizer. It really is an easy process to swap the whole unit out, it really only takes about 20 minutes.
So my Aunt saw my Galaxy Note 3 weeks ago. Last Easter weekend, when we saw each other again, I was surprised that she bought one too.
Anyway, I tried it and noticed right away how awesome her screen protector was. Of course, she didn't know anything about it and I'm 100% sure she got ripped off by the AT&T store (reseller, not corporate). So I called the AT&T reseller store and asked what skin she installed on my Aunt's note.
It was the "Wireless Solutions Anti-Glare/Anti-Fingerprint Screen Protectors"
After doing some research on where I could buy it online. Of course, I check the seller from resellerratings,etc. But unfortunately, I can't find any review from the stores I found it was selling. After looking further, I became confused if this are legit sites. Anyway, here are my findings.
I found that you can buy here:
http://www.buywirelessnow.com/smartwireless/buy/accessories/cat/617/accessory/1256578
and amazon here:
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Solutions-SCRNI717ANT2PKSDL-Anti-Glare-Anti-Fingerprint/dp/B007B6YO2Q
First of all, I thought the amazon one was good, but the picture looks like the international version of the note. Even though the manufacturer part # is for the at&t note.
Now, I'm not sure if buywireless is a legit site. I would like to risk $9.99 but of I would still prefer amazon just to be sure.
Anybody shopped from buywireless.com? Or anybody tried that screen protector?
By the way, the screen protector was really awesome. It had better spen accuracy compared to my el cheapo screen protector. I really want to get this. Please help.
Thanks
EDIT: I forgot to mention that AT&T authorized reseller store is selling it for $25. Ripoff.
UPDATE:
Ok I bought one of these from an AT&T store (reseller, not corporate) because it was $15.
It is the worst $15 ever spent. Don't buy this. It makes the screen rainbow-like (I dont know how to describe it).
Does anti-glare/anti-smudge make this in general? Like rainbow like?
Thanks
keplenk,
I highly recommend you ask them for a refund and buy one of these:

or

I personally have the Glass and absolutely love it. It is well worth the money and even if it doesn't prevent all the figure prints, it does stop a good amount.
As for the scratch protection, that's what I really bought it for. Think about it $35 now or $200+ later.

i Second that, i love the glass one too, i agree it does not avoid all finger prints but i love it, its just like ur screen just protected and scratch free. worth the 35.00 IMO, i even tried the ZAGG Invisible shield protector (which i was always a big zagg fan) and i still prefer the glass

I'm sorry to hear that.
I highly recommend you to use Amazon next time for this type of thing, If you were unsatisfied with this product, Amazon would most of the time give you a refund.
This is why I do most of my shopping through Amazon now instead of Bestbuy or what not.
+ I have Amazon student so I just absolutely love the 2 Day shipping haha.

No problem, Good luck man!
P.S. Take your time when doing the Glass, I also recommend you do this right after a shower. I have a pesky spec of dust on my screen but I'm afraid that taking it off would not adhere properly. It's not worth $35 to get a spec a dust out haha...

at my local best buy has them...i bought mine yesterday....its really nice....i like it...
Not a single one in my town. I did spend a lot of time showing my phone off because I'm the only one in town who has it. Anyone care to comment on the fitment of it?; this anti-glare Moshi wont even stay in place but it was free.
*edit* Found one. Nice fitment.
Put it on yesterday within about 2 hours of buying mine. (Took that long to track one down at Best Buy). Wend on easy and feels smoother than a regular Zagg. I'm quite happy with it! :good:
At best buy the front only is 25 bucks on Zaggs site the complete body one is 25 bucks. Just fair warning to all of you!
Though you can get best buy top price match the front for 15

Actually, the one on Zaggs site is not the HD. Zagg doesnt even list the HD version as of yet. The HD are always more than the original because of higher quality. Actually, im sure that might be objective, but to me it is. They just seem more clear, and they feel of them seems closer to the actual screen than most screen protectors. I actually Zagg today because i wanted to register mine for warranty purposes and its not an option on their site. The rep even verified for me that their site does not list this version, and that it will probably be another week before it does.
Now, having said all that, has anyone else experienced any issues with theirs scratching? I have the Zagg HD on my One X, Galaxy S3, and on the OG. Ive had them on my other phones since they day the phone was purchased and they still look wonderful. The one on my OG was placed on it the day i got it, the 3rd, and i actually peeled it off today because it is so scratched up it looks terrible. Im just wondering if maybe there is a manufacturing flaw in them or something.

I went to best buy today and they had a bundle special. I got the Zagg screen & the Rocketfish case for $35.
The reason for the price difference is because the one at bestbuy is the HD screen, which will better compliment that beautiful display.
BTW, Zagg is having 50% off sale for CyberMonday, still going today.

Ghost Armor makes clear protectors for both the front and the back that are just awesome.
12 bucks for maximum coverage (back, front, and sides) on Zagg using InvisibleShield with lifetime warranty is basically a "because why not?" deal. I recall paying 20 bucks some years ago just to have the front of my Inspire covered.

No it did not. I bought it without having my phone yet and when I tried to put it together it was absolutely to small.
Returning tomorrow....on the bright side...with the zagg.com 50% off sale right now, I am ordering the full body for $12.49
Is the zagg LG optimus g for the at&t version without a doubt? They have sprint version listed and then just lg optimus g...thanks
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I was trying to determine if the LGOG kit they have listed on the website will fit the E970 so i tried calling Zagg several times on Monday but they never picked up the phone. I sent them an email late in the afternoon and have not yet heard back from them.
kinda frustrating that they had the 50% off sale but not reply to my inquiry. If I hear back from them I'll update this thread.
edit: was informed that the LG OG (the one NOT listed as Sprint specific) would fit the AT&T device. So i ordered a full body kit.

Just letting anyone know I am selling mine with og box plus a otterbox commuter case and a trident agesis case plus the case from Verizon. And as a bonus it comes with 3 screen protectors plus the one on it.
The phone is OFF CONTRACT I boughtbit out right. The only thing is their is not the pesky charger flap. other than that the phone is flawless has no scratches on the front display and minimal use on back as seen in the images on the site. And I can lower to 500$ maybe
just type http bellow

I'm thinking $500 might be a little steep at this point. $300-$400 might be a little closer. Just my opinion.

Yea, maybe $400 tops. I know you bought it out right, but its even missing the charge port cover (which to some may be a huge deal). But over on Swappa is where you should sell it. Lol.

Looking at swappa.com I see that the last few have gone for around 320 - 330.
has anyone buy the SCR10 from ebay? price vary from $12 to $25. I am pretty sure those $15 one is fake. Also, there are two versions of the official case, one has chrom logo with clear plastic package, the other just printed logo with paper package features Brazil WC.
is this fake?

eBay scr10
Got mine today for £13.50 postage paid. If its fake then its a very good one!
I doubt it makes much difference as the Sony original is absolutely awful and grossly overpriced. I bought one from Amazon and sent it back by return of post. VERY rare do I need to do that. There are several flaws with the case not to mention its lack of magnet closing and if its dropped the front flap opens. If you are quick and mange to catch the flap before the phone hits the floor the phone itself wold become detached from the case and still hit the floor.
I am afraid Sony dropped the ball with this case and the price. Same with the Smart bad replacement bands, half the price of the complete band with sensor itself? I fall out with Sony over their policies regarding accessories. Some of them are either poorly thought out, poorly made and cost the earth.
