So I've cracked the screen on my beautiful Note 3 and have a dilemma. My dilemma is that I have insurance but I'm up for upgrade in December and don't want to pay the $200 deductible just to give the damn thing back a month or two later. I'm not really comfortable splitting the digitizer and lcd so that makes it tougher for me to do it on the cheap. Does anyone have any ideas on how to a) get out of paying the deductible b) be able to give the phone back with a cracked screen or c) know how or where I can get it fixed for cheap?
Any and all suggestions/advice are greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

This is directly from the Sprint site:
"Can I send in a phone that has a cracked screen?
As long as the device meets the following requirements, it is eligible for the Buyback program:
The conditions of the device must be as follows:
–Device must be able to power on.
–Cannot be melted, corroded, have lost components, or have visible water damage (Ex: Liquid in the screen).
–Device cannot look as if ran over by a car.
–If the device has a cracked screen, we WILL accept it, as long as it powers on. Even if the screen is white/black, as long as there is some sign that the phone powers on, the customer can send it in."
So yes, you can sell it back to them with a cracked screen, what they will give you for it is another question. Next time I recommend getting Squaretrade insurance instead, the deductible is only $50 no matter what happens to your device, even water damage.
Well I'm doing Sprint Easy Pay with Give Back and have to give this one back. Not an actual trade in so to speak. Would this still apply?

You don't have to wait until December. You can "buy out"-the remaining 2 months of your contract and upgrade now.

just do a screen replacement. much cheaper. take apart and replace the LCD screen. go here for the parts http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-rezound-screen-replacements-repair-parts.html
I would wrap it up, kick the box a couple good times and send it back not using FedEx, use other option. You don't know what happened after it was mailed back.

Doubt that will work. you think if I told them my story would understand and allow me to send the cracked one back.
Also I already had the screen replaced once but it ended up in the person who fixed it screwed up the capacitive lights and did not seal screen on tight enough so dust got behind the screen.

Verizon wont let me do that. I just talked to them. SO I got a better idea! File a claim with asurion (how ever you spell that) and say my phone got "stolen" so they will have to give a new phone with everything. I pay the $100 they give me phone with battery, charger, memory card and I sell mine the one I said got "stolen" on ebay for $100 and technically I will have my money back.

Doesn't Verizon put a bad ESN(I think that's it) so that its unusable for service? Have you thought about just donating it to a dev or sell it to one of them for dirt cheap?

Yes it is and yes bad esn but still someone would buy it for $100. I would give it to a dev for the least of $70
Not to sound like a doche but I am going to anyways.. Your own fault for dropping the phone. Man up and pay the $90. Karma is a ***** and will catch up with you one day.
I just payed the $100. I do agree my fault.
Alright, so tomorrow I'm buying the Galaxy Note 2 off contract. On the website, it sticks to just being 700 dollars.
If I go to the store to purchase it (as I'm eager to get it already) will it still just be 700? I heard that already includes taxes and stuff. Or will tax still be added onto the 700bucks?

Every verizon listing on eBay (which are very few compared to other carriers) seem to be used with slight scratches on the screen. Or the biddings don't end for days down the road. Plus if something should happen, I feel safer with Verizon vs going through a hassle with the person I bought it from.
And I live in Lincoln, Ne, not many people selling new phones on Craigslist. I didn't find one listing for it. There was barely even any for the S3.
Plus, it's only about 40bucks cheaper, while it'd be nice, I'll make due.

450 is a VERY rare steal. I'd do that in an instant if I had the chance. I mean, if you know someone selling one for that low, point me in the right direction. But every normal listing is like 675 or pretty much retail price.

Amazon Wireless is the way to go. No tax and free 2 day shipping. If you currently have insurance on your account, it will stay and transfer to new phone once activated. There is also no activation fee.
I have done this multiple times buying off contract. Even had to go in to VZW store to get a micro sim for my S3 and had no issues.
So I have Verizon Wireless and I am eligible for an upgrade now.
I want to pick up this phone and I am looking to spend about 199.99 with a new 2yr activation with the renewal of my contract.
I am trading in my old HTC Rezound at best buy which is ROOTED and FLASHED for $50 plus best buy is offering a $50 gift card towards the purchase of any Samsung Mobile phone I am told.
Does anyone recommend any other tips or suggestions possibly before purchasing and renewing my contract with Verizon and/or purchasing the phone at best buy?
I would greatly appreciate it thanks!
I look forward to possibly start making this THREAD my new home.

You know you could get more if you sold the rezound. Also in the next week you could get the s4 in 32GB version you may want to think about that. Buying from best buy is better then at VZW they price match Amazon and wirefly sometimes. I know because they have done it for me. And you get 30 days return and exchange. I also don't think they charge an upgrade fee which is $35 at VZW.

There is still an upgrade fee that gets tacked on to the first months bill. You also only now get 15 days to exchange or return (unless you're platinum) but still have to do so within Verizon's 14 day grace period to get the upgrade back. Their protection plan is good though despite what some people say... Quick unlimited replacements with no deductible and the majority of employees couldn't tell the phone was rooted even if the damn thing was stuck in the cm boot loop so no worries there

OP - You will get an updated phone.
If MDK is of value, you are now off the ranch and need to go have someone replace the screen for you.
For the amount of the deductible ($100) someone can replace the screen.

Yeah i have an MDK S4 on Swppa.com and there are a few more with MDK. The problem with getting someone to replace the glass is a lot of times they are just tempered glass not gorilla glass. Also, the heat needed to get the glue to release from the digitizer isn't good for the other components, so to do it right you need to take all of the components out. If the digitizer is also bad then you're looking at roughly $180-$220 to replace it and the glass.

Verizon has started open enrollment for warranty coverage again. So $10 bucks sounds like a great deal for a new phone and stick the old in a box.
Good luck!

Don't let them fool you lol $10 a month then $99 deductible..not worth it to me..I think the best repair/warranty service offered is by BestBuy.. No deductible..I forget how much a month.. But no ?'s asked when needing a replacement

Are they offering open enrollement for phones not purchased at BestBuy?
Verizon is and $110 would be the cheapest way to get a new phone replacement.
I bought my Note 2 on ebay last year for $200 and cracked my screen with no warrenty.. called Verizon they have open enrollement right now. Only question I was asked was whats wrong with the phone?"screens cracked" New one in the mail next day..cancel the insurance afterwards if you think it's a rip there's no contract on insurance.
I've never dealt with BestBuy so maybe they can fix it right now cheaper then $110

No they wouldn't fix it now that it is broken..but I do believe they offer insurance on phones..but a: they either have to purchased there or b: you take it in and they (geek squad) exams the condition of the phone and then decides from there

I have a question regarding open enrollment for Verizon insurance.. I cracked my screen on 2 separate note 2's and apparently asurion dropped me months ago. Now I came across this thread and was curious as to if the open enrollment is indeed factual. Any idea? Thanks a lot

@tennisjunkie I used this open enrollment insurance about 1 month ago.. He said it was ending in March or April. Call ASAP and I'm curious to know when it ends myself.
Good luck
Just called Verizon warranty and they said it ended on March 17th. He said they will have it again in the future, he wasn't sure when. Good luck maybe try mobiletechvideos.com to fix it.
Thank you for checking. That is a bummer. I tried fixing one and it was a disaster. Any other options or insurance?? Or am I soL?

I suggested previously send it to mobiletechvideos.com I haven't used them but there highly trusted by people on XDA for there work and have a clean professional website with fees posted.
Mobiletech does great work. Honestly you can get led combos off of eBay for like 130 and it's super easy to change yourself.

This. I bought the full assembly (AMOLED+Digitizer+Metal Frame) from this guy:

And followed this tutorial (there were some small differences since he used a Global N2):

With some patience and a mini-screwdriver I was able to bring a Note II to like new condition. If you get the full assembly with the frame you should be able to restore the phone to near factory state. I definitely wouldn't try replacing just the glass, or even glass+digitizer without the frame, there's too much risk and you're never going to be able to get the adhesive just right.
@funnyperson1 I thought you had a cheap fix for people with cracked screens it's the same price to have a professional do it lol
Heck... I seen a sweet looking mint VZW SCH-1605 - stuck in a simple bootloop on ebay sell for $150 today free shipping
Sadly there is no cheap way on the note 2. I mean if you wanna risk doing just the glass and curing loca glue then yea.

roflcopterssoisoi is right, there isn't really a good cheap alternative for the Note 2.
You can replace just the glass and reglue yourself for $30, but it's risky and probably won't come out right (at least I know it won't if I do it).
You can get a professional to replace just the glass for around $125 (that's what MobileTechVideos charges)
For around $80-123 you can replace the lcd, digitizer, and glass but that still requires melting adhesive, prying,and hoping you don't mess up.
For between $120-150 you can get lcd, digitizer, and frame and replace the components yourself. This is what I did and it was pretty easy, hard to mess up.
For $200+ you can have Samsung, MobileTech or someone else replace the screen for you.
For me the decision was easy because the digitizer and amoled were completely dead, otherwise the MobileTechVideo repair for $125 is appealing. Still, for a couple bucks extra and an hour of my time I like the idea of having a like new, non-damaged assembly.
Yes almost all the options are expensive, but a working Note 2 goes for $300+ on Swappa and eBay. If you repair it and resell it, you'll probably get your money back. You could probably repair it, use it until the Note4 is released and still get your repair money back.
If you had another phone to use you could even sell the parts for a cracked Note2 for more than $200 total. The motherboard is going for $150-180 on eBay, selling the cracked screen and other parts may add up to $100+. You could certainly get enough to buy the bootloop N2 and fix it via Odin.
