Hi guys,
as probably many of you, my G3 has also scratches on lens glass.
Has anyone tried replacement part that can be found on Ebay?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Camera-...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item2ed99c9a04
If someone tried, what is the quality of the part?
And, has someone maybe came around for lens glass protector? I remember for Nexus 5 Slickwraps made lens protetor and they were great. Maybe there is for G3 also somewhere in the wild

They have been selling the parts in China, around 1.69 for Glass only, 9.50 for whole assembly.
The ebay one seems authentic enough. I would just get the Glass only if I can, even if bad quality, 1.69 nothing to lose.
I contacted general LG service in my country and it is actually cheper to go with them then with original part from Ebay

Hello, does anyone know if it's possible to replace the Gorilla Glass 2 on the 920 with Gorilla Glass 1 or 3? The glass on my Zune HD was amazing - after using it for years I couldn't get any scratches on it, but on both my 900 and 920 I got scratches within the first few weeks of using it. I've purchased a screen protector on Amazon, but wondering if there's any way to purchase a replacement touch screen for the 920 made of another type of glass? Installing it's not a problem, but are there any retailers who sell Gorilla Glass 1/3 screens for it, or do you have to be an OEM to get Gorilla Glass?

You can't do that because obviously nobody has produced one so far, and most likely never will...also, your problem is probably related to the fact that the Zune HD didn't have oleophobic coating, while instead modern phones with GG tend to have it. Probably the scratches you noticed aren't even on the glass itself but on the coating. When you manage to scratch the real glass you can tell it by the fact that you're able too actually feel the scratch with your fingernail. Don't get me wrong tho, GG can still be scratched, no matter what, it's just tougher in general, so it's all up to your luck if you decide to go naked. If you wanna be 100% safe a screen protector is the only option, while instead if you wanna keep the natural look and feel of the glass while still having some sort of scratch protection the best option IMHO is picking one of those flip cases, at least the screen won't slide against the stuff you may happen to have in your pockets. You can either pick the one from Nokia, the CP600, or some of the cases from Nillkin which are cheaper and very decent too. I've ordered one myself, but shipping from Asia takes ages. I'll definitely post a review as soon as I get it.

Thanks for the information, I hadn't considered that it might be because of the coating. I got a screen protector for it so I'm happy Thanks!

from amazon, cheap too. gonna give a try. its not thick like verizon's.
I posted this under the cases thread already before you should make another topic about this.
you should split it ? make a new thread? i don't like cases.
Also looking for glass screen covers, BUT...
I want ones that have no cut-outs in them; one for the front and one for the back.
It confuses me as to why these are manufactured with cut-outs where the front facing camera is. That's certainly an important area of the screen to protect.
Sooooo...
Still looking for screen protectors like this.
(Guess now I have to find the cases thread...)

I think you can buy tempered glass from Verizon online for much cheaper than what it used to be for better fitting.
I'm from india.. how can i get a case?
I dunno how you can get a case in India. How would I? But this thread is about screen protectors.
Anyone here knows how to replace the camera cover glass lens? Do you have any guide? Thanks.
remove the back cover.. remove screw, remove the top part carefully .. using some safety pin remove the glass n done i just remove by myself just before 2 days .. its easy ..
Bought mine some days ago.... Waiting the good moment to do the swap...

Another question. I removed the coating from the lens glass cover last time that's why I'm getting glare on strong lights. Are the replacement parts available online includes the coating that is applied on the original package or just the glass? Thanks.
Ok, just changed mine. Definitively better than the old one scratched/polished, no more halo. Probably the original made by sapphire glass is better when new, but almost the camera is usable..

You mean the replacement is not a sapphire glass but it has a coating that reduces halo?

My replacement seems to be policarbonate (2€ shipped.......) but the overall image quality is better than before.

Thanks a lot, maybe I'll try to replace mine.
Could anyone provide a link to the part they ordered please. I need to change mine also but I'm curious what you guys have found.

Dear ,
I have my s7 for a few days and I wanoticed protect it against scratches.
I already have a tempered glass for the front
But the question is,is there one for the back..
Now, don't recommend me any sort of case. That it not why I bought a 700 dollar phone. I want to feel the premium materials etc
So, is there any tempered glass for the back?
If yes, where? (Preferably ebay)
Thanks
There are screen protector films for back in eBay but I don't think there is tempered glasses for back side.
Slickwraps
I would recommend checking out slickwraps. You can get coverage of the back of the phone and the sides, in color or seethrough.

How about a clear case?

a clear case poses the same problem. He said he wants to *feel* the materials of the the phone. Not just see it. I was actually thinking something similar. I had always put my phones in cases, thin ones because I carry them in my pocket. But this time, I really like how the entire phone looks and feels. I wish they could have used sapphire for the glass, then I wouldn't even care about trying to find a tempered glss protector
Bumping this.
Would really like to see more focus on tempered glass for the backside. What I have seen from videos the back seems to be more fragile.
Doesn't seem to be very common though?
Hey guys, my lg g5 ships out in a few days and I was just wondering What tempered glass screen protector you guys run. I've spend hours looking for good ones and can't really find anything. Heard the yootech one is the best on Android forums but they're currently unavailable. Thanks
After trying many that covers the entire front i ended up with nilkin temperr glass that only covers the screen.
After changing 4 3d tempered glass none of them fitted properly on my phone and they didn't have adhesive in the center.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/accessories/tempered-glass-screen-protector-lg-g5-t3330404 already has a ton of recommendations.
Personally I went back to a "regular" screen protector - the glass ones all either don't fit properly or don't stick right on the edges, letting dust + dirt creep underneath
