Best place to buy an online display/touch replacement - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Hello,
I've managed to crack my screen (jut took the phone out of my pocket), and of course, Sony blame me for this, so they won't honor the warranty. No matter if I showed them the pages where Sony is repairing this screens for free on other parts of the world.
They want to charge me $600 USD, so obviously I'm trying to buy a new display/lcd combo online, where I can find prices varying from $150 to $250 USD. The problem with this approach is that most of the vendors are not well known for me, so I don't know if they are worth of my trust.
Do any of you have a recommendation for an online vendor?
Thank you very much for your help. I've been without my phone for one month now, and I really miss playing with it.

I haven't personally used it but try etradesupply, they're selling the Z ultra display for $204.
Erica Griffin from Youtube has used them so at least they are trustworthy i guess if she recommended them.

[Q] Selling My X10....

I was just curious does anyone know of a good site other than ebay or kijiji. This question is more for My Ontario Canada brothers.....I understand every community or region may have a certain place to sell used tech stuff. Hey if anyone is interested pm me. Also what do you all feel is a good price? Thanks ahead of time for the responses.
Hey man i feel you still I bought my X10 on the day it was released here in Canada with high hopes, and it been kinda of ****. But to be honest If you got your phone with a contract just keep the phone for a year or something and just wait for the next gen phones to come out to Rogers/Canada. I know some people are have switched to the Desire and stuff, well it may seem cool now it is kinda outdated and the "next gen" phones are coming out next year as well. So yeh.
Also try ebay. I tried to sell my X10 at a point but people are kinda aware of the lack of multi touch and stuff so I gave up. One guy was asking me 250.
Redflag Deals might be a good place, but plenty are already selling their X10s there.
The going price in the UK for a used X10 in good condition without scratches is between 200 and 250 pounds. I think it's a good price. You could can sell on ebay as long as you are priced right.
I get one free device per year of up to 1,000 euro in value from my service provider. Plus the local dealer let's me get a second device at the same price as a new customers with contract. So I bought the iphone4 in the beginning of July for 300.
I got the X10 for free, so 200 pounds would go towards covering the cost of the 4. I am taking mine to a flea market next weekend and going to try to get 300 to 250. If not I will put it on Ebay with a buy now price of 220.
Are you just trying to sell it or do you want to replace it with another phone? I'd suggest offering a trade for some other phones on Kijiji and various message boards...
Good grief. Nobody here want to use XDA's own marketplace?
im looking to pick up an x10 if youre still looking to sell. send me a msg and maybe we can work something out? im in ontario as well

Cost of etting a X10 repaired

I can’t imagine the answer to this is going to be cheap but does anyone know how much it costs to get the mobo fixed/changed on an X10i outside of warranty? I am in the UK so would like prices from Britain but experiences from any where most welcome. Also any recommendations for a reputable repairer would be good.
At the moment I am getting only one reboot a day so I can live with that but if (when most likely) it gets worse I would like to know my options.
If you don't mine me asking why is it outside of warranty?
As you get 2 years as standard on this handset.
I do not have the receipt as it was bought second hand and I am pretty sure SE require this.
Depends... In Aussie here it would cost like at least 20$ fire a phone repair, which in GB would be like at least 10 dollars. Depends if it is a software problem or hardware problem or software problem. If hardware expect around couple of hundred dollars.

Had a couple of quotes, one firm thinks it is a software issue but I don't think so. Another firm (mobilerepaircentre.com any experience of these gladly welcome) are quoting £52.50. So not to bad - IF they fix it that is.

How much !!

I have a virtually brand new sgs2 (white ) its only been used as a spare for my girlfriend until she got her new phone,so its about a month old. It has been rooted but no custom ROMs as she just needed the temp sim unlock which I have now removed again but kept the root enabled. So I would like now to sell it and was wondering how much these are worth today?. Its 3 UK carrier with all leads,headphones etc and boxed and has a screen protector under the original over covers.
Looked around but the variety of prices makes it unclear how much I should sell for,any ideas.........

eBay will give you a guide as to what they're going for I would have thought.
Edit - Scrub what I said about Marketplace. Seems they closed it a couple months ago. Or sites like this. I'd be surprised if you didn't have them in the UK (Google = friend).

Mmmmmm I wanted a community perspective on pricing because like I said I have looked but the variations on pricing are so different everywhere I look. I want to give somebody a bargain/fair price but I don't want to get ripped off either. The phone was free to me and I have a nexus 4 so I don't need the s2. Thanks but no disrespect I don't need links to here and there but would appreciate a comment like.....
" I would not sell it for less than ? "
" I think they are worth about ? "
Kindest regards

i made a research on the used price of the s2 for a friend of mine, and it goes from 250€ to 350€.
i think around 300€ (or 257.55£) is a fair price
Always go a little higher than what you want to sell it at ( 250 = 270 etc.) because people always wants to go down in price .

Well If you're thinking of selling it...do it fast, samsung might drop the price of SGS2 anytime soon, coz its already doing that for many phones like S3 and note 2 etc..
Well it should go for about british 250 pounds(shouldn't go more than that) if you have all required stuff and accessories...
depends on buyer how much he's willing to pay..
Youll get nowhere near £250.I sold mines for £205 on boxing day,and a 3 month old note for £250 the day after that.Done it via eBay and that cost me about £50.
I believe Orange were selling brand new s2 for £199.99 not long after that.
You list the phone for whatever you think its worth and see if anybody bites.
Thanks all
So if I say £200 then that's a fair price yes ? Give or take a few £
Like I said its virtually brand new with I would say no more than 30 hours use.

Well in India you could sell that for about Rs.18000 to a dealer who deals second hand phones... Coz its only a month old...
That guy will increase the price to Rs.19-20000(220 pounds) and sell in the market... That's all I know... confirmed..
Plus markets are pretty different from places to places... Idk whether it's a good or bad idea selling it online...
Better sell it to a friend or someone...coz that person will feel a sense of security and already knows how less you've used it so will be willing to pay more..
Now u shouldn't be selling it nowhere below 170 pounds... Coz am already getting a 4 month used galaxy S2 in that price here...
Rest is your choice..
Sorry I was saying 250 pounds cox I had got conversions wrong..

The price would totally depend on where you want to sell it... Ebay is one thing, local Craigslist is another. As always, it's not what you want to sell it for, but what someone is willing to pay for it. In my local market, my target would be somewhere around $220-$250. $200 would be the lowest I'd sell it for. I bought my SGS2 a month ago for $140 on Craigslist. The only problems with it were the crappy battery and a scratched lens cover, so I had to buy a replacement casing and a new battery (about $30 worth in total)...
Duty free shop:
S II Brand new: $ 640 bucks
S III brand new: $ 740 bucks.
crazy right?
Sell it as Brand new.

US Preorder???

Has anybody heard anything about preordering this in the US market?
I was going to get a Z3 Tablet Compact at the end of this month, but, if the price rumors are true, the Z4 Tablet will have a release price about the same to $50 more than the Z3TC is currently selling for. Why spend full price on a tablet when the next model comes out in a couple/few months for about the same price and has much better specs (or being able to get the current model at a reduced price when this releases)?
I have been searching for the this for the last month. As far as I can tell the US has to wait till July.
Price isnt the decision factor here, you need to consider the size you want. I had the xperia z2 tablet (10 inch screen) and it was too overwhelming, it was heavy and big. Though it was pleasing to the eyes i find it difficult to carry it around. Just few days ago, i sold it and purchased the Z3TC.
in the end, its really your choice, 10 inch tablets are just not for everyone.
Any update?
I just ordered an unlocked one on eBay from Taiwan. Should be in by the middle of the month.
How much was it?

Please let us know when/how it comes in. I saw a few on eBay from Taiwan and was leery about the low feedback count.
Don't waste your time and risk your money on eBay. Expansys is already selling the LTE version for $700 including shipping. For another $35, they'll extend the warranty they provide from six to 18 months. (With their warranty, if Sony USA refuses to cover the device, Expansys will return it to the country from which it came, handle the warranty repair for you, and then return it to the USA once more.)

I got the tablet in yesterday and I love it. The battery and display is fantastic. I took notes on LectureNotes, at full brightness and recorded for 3 and a half hours and still had 75%. My only major issue is the remote play (main reason I got the tablet). It seems that it runs once after the initial setup. If I restart the device it gives me error code 88001003 and exits the app. I think it occurs because the tablet is unlocked. Huge bummer and I'm thinking about returning it and waiting for it to come in the US at the end of the month.
Edit: I removed SuperSU and everything is okay now. Unlocked was not the issue.

Good luck! All I can tell you is that I bought my HTC One X, my wife's HTC One X+ and my Xperia Z2 from them, and every one was a good experience. The One X+ was the only one where I had any problems at all -- I'd actually ordered a One S, but they couldn't source it and so after waiting a while, they offered me the much better One X+ at well below their retail price.
And for my Xperia Z2, I ordered the phone, two docks and headphones, then they contacted me to let me know I could save money by buying a new, unopened Z2 UK kit that a customer bought and returned without opening, with that specific kit including the headphones I'd bought separately. They actually saved me a good bit by doing so, when they could've just filled the order I had made and got more money out of me...
So yes, three good experiences and I'm very happy with them. Hopefully you will be too! I'm pretty certain once I can afford the Z4 Tablet, I'll be getting it from Expansys, unless somehow Sony USA miraculously sets a reasonable price for the tablet. (Last time around, I paid less to them for the phone, two docks, headphones, extended warranty and expedited shipping than I'd have paid to Sony USA for just the phone by itself.)
We'll see. Here's to hoping. I'm not overly concerned with the timeframe as much as I am just getting it.
Anyone know where I can get the Keyboard seperately? They never released the keyboard for the Z2 Tab Internationally so I'm going to use this. The only one I have found is this one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/301652441507?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
But $288 AUD for a keyboard alone IS CRAZY. I was expecting to spend like $100...
*EDIT* Found it a bit cheaper on http://www.expansys.com.au/sony-blu...or-sony-xperia-z4-tablet-black-qwerty-275344/ $240 + 18 Postage AUD
http://www.amazon.de/Sony-BKB-50-Bl...&qid=1433574303&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=bkb50 Comes to $214 AUD but no shipping to Aus.
http://www.mobilezap.com.au/53608-official-sony-xperia-z4-tablet-bluetooth-keyboard-case-black.htm $233.50 + $30 postage AUD :/

You're not going to find it for $100 or even anything close to that. The keyboard alone, direct from Sony, costs 15,880 yen in Japan. That's the equivalent of AU$166 in their home market, and you've got to add the cost of international shipping PLUS a profit margin to make it worth their while for any company selling you one as a parallel import. I'd figure $220 is the absolute minimum you're going to find it for anywhere...
I bought at Clove - 482.50 GBP, but it bundles BKB50 Bluetooth Keyboard!
