I happen to smash the touchscreen glass. Everything is still working: touchscreen with multi-touch, the video screen is not damaged at all. It is just the top glass.
Any suggestions where to get the replacement and how to replace it?

Try Viewsonic customer service
or... buy another one and take the gla... nevermind.
So this confirms the answer to my post about whether it is plastic or glass? The Rain X poster said that screen was "plastic" but I thought it was glass....
Might be a slip of the keyboard. It sure pings like plastic. Maybe the original poster has a photo?

I should have used "plasticky" I don't know if the touch-panel substrate is polycarbonate or tempered glass/pyrex. My tooth test says probably some sort of glass but it's weirder than regular glass... sort of like a clear version of those unbreakable corel plates (tap your tooth onto the surface - you'll get what I mean). The plastic surface I was referring to in the Rain-X thread is the thin UV cured hard film surface that protects the flexible touch detection layers just below. Think of it as fancy thin clearcoat. I should have worded it more carefully (but it was the middle of the night and my brain had already shut down)
Broken glass
Here are some pictures pictures. There are some glass (ish?) particles under the screenprotecttor
Here are some more pictures of the broken glass
another batch of broken glass.
By the way Viewsonic was not able to help, nobody there was able to name any place to get the replacement screen to be installed myself or any service facility.
You can try to some chinese sites that sell zpad. They may also sell just the screen. I have seen some sites selling the screen for the gpad (the ipad clone) such as pandawill.com
Could not find any link to digitizer glass on pandawill.com or aliexpress .
Just for curiosity, how hard did the hit was; it would be intresting to know how durable our really g-pad are.
BTW: I am sorry about the screen.
I cracked my screen too... it's on the corner but it still works. But I rather get it repaired/replaced. I have yet to find any replacement screen online.. It's driving me nuts.
Go upstream
If VS can't help, try asking the integrator (Malata) or the touch-panel manufacturer (Sintek Photronics). Some contact info:

Not to durable.

I cracked my screen in the corner as well. I dropped the tab from about a foot onto a pillow, it fell off the pillow about an inch or two and the screen glass looks like I took a hammer to it. I could have been more careful for sure, but I have dropped electronics much, much harder and nothing. When it hit the floor I kept walking cause I thought it was nothing, when I looked at it in the morning it was FUBAR. If I can fix this I will certainly post details on how to fix it.
Touch screen
I broke mine too and got a replacement from Pandawill for $12, problem was the Post office managet to break it.
do you have a link to how/where you got the replacement screen?

I need a replacement as well. I also looed at pandawill and only saw replacements for Ipad. PLEASE help me! Everything still works on mine but my glass incompletely shattered.
Guys,
I have a situation here.. My dell Streak fell down and broke my screen, i called dell warranty and told about it and they said pay 300 usd and get it replaced.. buy i have already ordered my screen from Ebay.. Suddenly my ear piece speaker stopped working.
I don't want to mess things anymore and having to replace them myself. So since my earpiece is not working, should i send the phone to dell so that they might replace the whole phone since screen is broken?
or call them back and say screen broke in my pocket and get a new replacement????
Awaiting suggestions guys.. really need some help here...
Thanks,
Raj
I doubt the glass would break in your pocket, so, if its under warranty, get them to fix the earpiece for you, then when it returns, you can invalidate the warranty replacing the screen yourself.

Well .. i had my Streak 5 in my pocket and when i sat down one time, the lcd broke. It didn't get any bumps and it did not fall down. And warranty doesn't replace it.
The irony is that on the box it says "Pocket friendly (tm)" ..

I am not surprised its possible, best thing to do, put your beloved in a Otterbox Commuter or Defender.
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.

So my wife dropped her Rezound and the screen cracked. We do have the insurance through Verizon and figured I'd check here before calling Verizon since I need to know how to play this and get a replacement. Will they replace my phone or will they only replace it if our phonse is lost or stolen? Does anyone know how much it costs to get a replacement.

With a cracked screen it will cost $99 to replace. If it was a defect with the phone it would of been free. Kinda sucks but its better then shelling out $200+ for a new phone cause of the insurance. This is from personal experience with my own rezound.
seems pretty lame since that's about what it would cost me without the insurance.

If the picture isn't distorted and your glass is simply cracked, just get a Rezound LCD Digitizer with tools from amazon or ebay and some 3M 2mm digitizer tape. It'll only cost you 30 bucks to repair your screen, and you can choose between getting a verizon branded or unbranded digitizer while you're at it.

ugh, i tried this..only do this if you know what you're doing...i sure as hell didn't, and there's NO repair how to video out there about how to re-assemble the screen..they all convieniently skip that part. i ddin't even know i had to buy new adhesive since nobody said anyhting about that...
in the end, i have a screen with smudges on the LCD from the adhesive i had to pick at, since it was clearly visible underneath the digitzer, and then of course there's dust all over the place because it's impossible NOT to get dust under there, and the ribbon cable is peaking through the top, and i'm sure there's gonna be screen lift at some point. oh, and my bezel is def warped and bent out on the left side from prying with that stupid safe pry tool to get the digitzer out....clearly it isn't so safe!
oh and not to mention that my menu button doesn't fully light up anymore like the rest of them, because apparently you hvae to get teh LED's on there JUST RIGHT for them to light correctly.
yeah it cost $30, but it was a gift to my brothers wife until she can upgrade in a year...sure, she doesn't notice any of that, and it's a huge upgrade from her fascinate, but my brother and i sure do. we both did it together, and if me, someone who tinkers with electronics all the time, and him, a mechanical engineer, can't get it perfect, i'd say to just get the insurance replacement lol i would have, def, especially if you're as picky as me.....
Me doing it myself is probably not going to happen.

$99 later and a new rezound in hand.
Next question!
If I got a lemon, do I just deal with Assurian or can I get a replacement thru Verizon? On the screen when I got the phone it said 1 year Assurian warranty. Do I cancel my $7 a month insurance?
Thanks for the insight if anyone has experience beyond my point so far.
Currently not being productive on my S3.

no i think you need to keep asurion to get it replaced warranty wise through asurion. and yeah, you call verizon, but asurion is who warranty replaces it
I wish I could find a way to get another S3 but if she dropped the Rezound, the S3 would have no chance of survival.

Hey guys,
I dropped my Honor 7 on its back, and unfortunately the camera is cracked now. I mean, it still works, but the glass covering it is cracked. Any idea how I go about replacing it (and where I can buy a replacement glass/camera)?
I think they're really sensitive because I broke mine without dropping in within a month of getting the phone. I'd like to know if it can be replaced too.
@iknighty: I'm quite surprised by this, as Honor claims to use a Sapphire glass for the covering of Camera module, which indeed is tougher and harder than Gorilla Glass 4
