I took my phone out of my pocket and it looked as though the glass was separating. It's not cracked and wasn't dropped. I have it in a crizerlite case so it is protected. Anyone ever see this happen? If it's the glass I will just replace it with a new glass. I just wanted to make sure I get the gorilla glass and not cheap eBay knockoff. Links welcome!

Screen protector?

It had one but no this is under the glass. It's very weird, I have never seen this and have owned many gorilla glass devices and I love my s4, don't want her all sick and stuff!

Hmm, maybe it was left out in the sun and the glue adhesive loosened up?

Never done that either, plus it's only about 40 degrees here now. 26 at night brrrrr. I am going to replace the glass and go with that just seems like the glass is coming apart like it is laminated or something. Really odd.

I figured out that it is the glass separating from the black backing. I have never seen this happen, I know I'm hot but dang. Didn't think my body heat would cause that to happen. Haha.

I have a cracked screen and im thinking of doing a glass replacement, was it difficult?
Mine is doing the same by menu button same good case screen proctor and all i never saw this on any of the s3 me friends or family owned maybe went to cheap glue. Want to complain to Verizon but don't want to loss my mdk bootloader phone.

I ended up breaking the digitizer in my s3 and had to pay the 100.00 (asurion) anyway to get replaced on top of 40 for glass I never used. Fell free to try but takes lots of heat and time "TAKE your TIME".

You guys putting one on?
If so found any yet?

Skinomi works great! Its like a knockoff of Zagg, but it is pretty decent. Same type of installation. I have one on the front/back (regular full-body i.e. no skin) and it fits perfectly inside the keyboard dock. Check it out at http://www.skinomi.com/aseeetrp.html
Also, if you use the promo code 'get25' during checkout it will save you 25%! I spent only $22 for the full-body, which is originally $30.

Why would you want one? It has Gorilla glass.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Because, for many and not all, Gorilla Glass can scratch. Perhaps not as badly as other types of glass but it does. I use screen protectors on the premise that it's often better to have one and not need it than to need it and not have it. Good quality protectors seldom interfere with touchscreen functioning....at least in my experience with many types of machines.
I've tried Skinomi but have never gotten the "hang" of applying the wet protocol. Succeeded only with a Zagg on my Droid X. Am plaing a BE on my TF when it arrives.
Often using or not using a protector comes down to personal preference.
HTH
I have the silver carbon skinomi full protector and it looks unbelievable!
it looks nice! and works great.
here some pictures sorry if they are not clear.

Does the skin cover the sides of the device also? As in the corners and around the ports?

Just ordered a skinomi fullskin. Will share how i feel about it after i get it on there
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
nice skin. i installed it and i am impressed with how forgiving this thing is with making mistakes on install. lil tricky to install perfectly but i got it after a few tries and i like the feel of it and when the screen on there is no way i can tell its on there. when the screen is off if i look closely i can tell. but when am i ever gonna look at the screen when its off. heh
the back skin is nice too, i just like the fact i can now put it on a table and not feel scared of getting scratches from dirt on the table.
nice purchase imo

I just got a free tempered glass screen protector! I had one of the sp that came with the sgp rubber cases. And it started to peel. So I contacted them, and they said they would send me a replacement. Well I check my mail 2 days later I get this. Which is today when I got it! I can't believe they sent me this for free!

It's good to know there are companies that care about their user-base and do things like that. If every company was like that, the world would rock!

Yea. That was very nice of them. How do I put this thing on? Lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Its actually very easy. Before you actually lay it down be sure you have the ear puece hole and bevels lined up. Lay it down and apply medium pressure with one finger in the center and watch it adhere. Be sure the surface is clean as can be before yoh apply it and wash your hands

I'm looking to replace the back cover, housing, and whatever this circled portion is called. Anyone know? I've looked at the mid-frame and it's not it. The raised lip of it.

The earpiece?

Look up i717 housing on ebay man......btw i seen u post in the skyrocket forums.....mind if i ask how much u got ur note for?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Oh maybe I read it wrong. I thought it was actually apart of the digitizer, and those aren't looking pocket friendly.
Yeah I was looking at getting a broken one and fixing it but passed on it. I got my note for $225. Already unlocked, in the box. Could use a back cover, the housing. The phone looks great, but I'm just picky.
Ah crap. Looks like I'll have the remove the screen from that section via a heat gun. Oh well.
Yea that's a pretty good deal......and for the housing part.....getting that digitizer separated is going to be a b***h even with a heat gun.....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Yeah it wasn't too bad. Since I plan on keeping this one, I'll most likely just get a a case for it and call it a day.

I just dropped my phone right on a rock yesterday and the screen is cracked. I see two different replacement parts online, one called an LCD Screen Replacement and one called a Touch Screen Replacement. Which one do I need? The top glass part of my screen is the part that's cracked. I'm pretty sure underneath it is fine

The lcd and the glass are glued together so you would need to separate it.

$150 to asurion and you can get a complete replacement.

This is a good deal and I would jump on it if I was the OP. I got mine from etradesupply and paid ~100 shipped. Yes, indeed, you might only need the glass part. however, as it was posted, it is glued to the touch screen part, good luck taking it apart without damaging the touch screen, and good luck gluing it back together.
This is how my touchscreen came apart (I had one complete with digitizer and lcd ready to go, but I decided to try and take them apart just to see if it's possible).

Don't forget to get some glue for the touchscreen/digitizer assembly to the back of the internal case/skeleton part. I didn't use any as I thought there was plenty left on the skeleton part, and while my screen isn't anywhere close to falling out or not functioning properly, there is one corner that sits maybe 1/32nd of an inch higher than the case, so it does look goofy...

This fell into my lap during frist time assembly. Can anyone give me a pointer?
It has fallen off the slot where the charger plugs in. It sits on the back part of the case and helps it's quite self evident how it fits due to the curve. My one did exactly the same

Can it go back once it comes out or do you throw it away?
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
It will go back in easily. I held it in with a few drops of CA and accelerator/kicker.. Never to come undone again..
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
HaHa It took me a while to figure it out too. When I popped the two half apart it fell on the floor. I thought I broke it, but I finally figured it out. It fits like a Lego piece I think.
Heh I threw it away didn't know what it was.

I hate when i buy something new and something falls off... sadly, i usually throw it away too after a very small amount trying to identify the piece.
