Usb cover is what I know it as.
Dust and water resistance is it's only purpose and you can use it without it.
They go for about 6$ on eBay for a replacement

OEM part for USB cover
Here is the original OEM part from a source other than eBay, just in case that one disappears. Simply unscrew the little retainer above the broken cover and put this one in.
IP67 fully restored.

Mine broke today. I didn't want to deal with refurbs so I don't want to replace the whole phone. I still thought I should stop at a tmobile store and see what they could do. To my surprise, they had a returned S5 and were willing to take the cover off of that one and put it on the new one. The other sad part is they said I wasn't the first one to have this issue. Apparently it's pretty common. I'm pretty disappointed in Samsung.

You are correct. They should send a permanent part that will snap shut... to everyone... for free. Seriously.
Sent from my SM-G900T using XDA Free mobile app
Yeah I have noticed that if you are not really careful with it they do tend to break easily
When opening it you need to open along the lines with the hinge and keeping it parallel with the screen and shouldn't have any issues.
'But if it is twisted above or below the phone at all or anything beyond the straight in or out it will break after a little repetition.

This the thread from last week where I discussed this. Since then there has apparently has been a run on the black pads.
And they've gone from 18.90 to 47.49.

What was good about Thoth's Camera Store is they're in New York.. You don't have to wait for ePacket delivery from China.

So, I dropped my phone just now and spider webbed the glass pane. Now it looks like most of the iPhones I see in the wild. The screen and touch matrix are still functional as I'm typing on the phone now. I'm just wondering if I should sbf back to stock before I go and see if insurance will get it replaced. I'm on cm9 right now.

Just make sure if you told them you still have the phone (didn't report it lost/stolen) that you send it back asap or they're going to hit your bill with a huge fee.

I would just replace the screen myself. It's probably a lot easier than you think and you can get the kit off amazon for $20. So you'll save money and you won't end up with a refurbished phone.

I've seen mention of the bumper case in a few posts... is there anywhere to purchase it online? Or for that matter, anywhere to purchase it besides an AT&T store?
I haven't found it on Belkin's web site and the only other sites I've seen it on said it was "Out of Stock". I passed on buying it in the store because it was $35 and I know it isn't worth that much!

the best phone ever
I agree it's not worth $35. I bought it at the at&t store the other day, and stopped using it today. The tiny amount of extra width it added to the phone was just too much for me. The OG feels much better in hand without a case. It is a little too slippery, though.

The Belkin case is a cheap piece of crap. I've already managed to crack the hard plastic shell taking it off to clean. And yes, it is very slippery.

Well it was on my bed and I didn't notice. I turned around, pressed it accidentally against the mattress and then it broke. Pretty stupid thing to do isn't it?
By the way, does Samsung ship to Israel?

The same quality S pen, you have only one choice, go to Samsung shop.
I couldn't find an S-Pen in the Samsung shop. I assume it's there somewhere, can anyone post a link? Search function let me down.

Also, there are cheaper options for "original" "OEM" s pens on Amazon as well. They fall in the $10 range, but who knows if they are truly OEM or not.

I am not a big fan of Best Buy but have to say that it is hard to beat their Gear Fit insurance. No hassles of mailing, just walk into any store and get the replacement. I bought my Fit from AT&T coz of the 25% offer so I had to go with SquareTrade. Paid $35.

Ya, I think we all have had to replace a screen. It's not easy, but doable. Here is a good price on a replacement screen http://www.amazon.com/Black-Samsung-Galaxy-Replacement-Screen/dp/B00HDAPL68 and this is a good video on how to do it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMEeWEbtqcU I would watch the video a couple of times first. Or take it to Sprint corporate store they will usually do it while you wait, and may or may not charge you. Good Luck !!!

Yeah I did this and it worked fine just go slow when taking off the old screen heat it with a hair dryer as you peel it off and clean it real good after b4 install of the new screen try to find some kind of glue that may come with the new screen cuz after I did mine the first time it worked fine but the touch response was a lil slower then b4. But still way cheaper then sending it out for repair.

The glass itself only has the bottom connectors for the back, menu and home .If you decide to install yourself just take your time and go slow and you'll be fine. Like the jimzweb1 said there are a number of youtube videos that will walk you though. http://youtu.be/S_BadHtLPbU How to Separate Glass Only on Galaxy Note 3!: http://youtu.be/HwrSdrySqec Hope these help a bit.
If you have insurance through Sprint, take it in, there is no deductible for just replacing the glass.
