Well, insurance wants monthly cost plus 150 to replace. Screen with frame is 130 and no monthly costs lol. Hmm I like that our screen isn't glued down

That's why i got the phone at best buy since you don't have to pay a deductible for swapping the phone for a new one

Read your brochure again, you pay $150 deductible, that's why I didn't do it. They also limit you to 3 times a year.
The lcd/frame assembly looks like it runs about 130 or so, so it's still cheaper to fix than paying monthly and the deductible
I got mine from best buy as well. I also verified the deductible when the sales was ringing me up

150 is the deposit that you leave to get the phone next day usually, trust me i did check and my brother had the same plan on his g3 and he exchanged it twice at no cost at all, i did ask at the store many times and they assured me that i would have to pay nothing for a deductible, :Edit actually this is weird in Puerto Rico they don't offer loss and theft protection they just offer accidental damage and it costs $9.99 a month not $7.99 nor $10.99 maybe we are still running on the old plan cause believe me we don't get charged deductible at all and the change was in 2014 to 2013 i think and when my brother got his g3 he still got the $9.99 plan so maybe it's different for us.

Housing replacement?

Does sprint insurance cover housing replacement? Is there any way I can get it done through them even if I need to pay just a little bit? My housing is all kinds of.scraped to hell and.back and I was actually kind of hoping to get the white housing put on if possible
You should be able to buy one online for less than your insurance deductible. Insurance doesn't cover normal wear and tear (strictly speaking).
Another member just asked this. He dropped his phone and bent the housing. He the Sprint store he took it to wouldn't cover cosmetic damage. :-\
You can do this for way less by yourself than any insurance claim would cost, and they don't cover it anyway.
I have a housing for sale its 15 but didn't have a digitizer no scratch tho

Wow talk about price gouging at the mall!!!! Wow.... that f*cker!
Mall and carrier stores are probably the most expensive place to buy accessories. Oh, aside from airport vendors.
E.g. I saw some Sennheiser earbuds at the airport for $129; sounded great. Checked Amazon with their shopping app ... $62 with Prime shipping. (Price has gone up to $99 since I added it to my wish list. Funny how that happens, eh?)[1]
Moral of the story: install the Amazon shopping app. I was able to immediately check prices against Fry's "open box special" prices and found that Amazon was cheaper for new than the Fry's offers + sales tax. (We'll see how long that party lasts ... states are getting grouchy about not getting sales tax from AMZN purchases.)
[1] Those stores do serve a purpose. While I was listening, a businessman came in to get replacements for his Shure earbuds which had just broken on him. I talked him into trying some Etymotics, which I bought on the spot. That's what those airport and mall stores are for -- immediate, gotta-have-it purchases on the go.

The beauty of the Amazon app is you can simply scan the UPC, or photograph the front of the package (which I did over Christmas),[1] and it finds the product if Amazon carries it. Takes seconds.
[1] I was looking at a Monster High "Create a Monster" kit, $19.95 at Target. Amazon price $39.95. Bought it on the spot.

I got the clear one, very handy if you need to take out the case quickly to dock or etc.
Just replaced it with a D3O protector case, a little stiff on the power button but It's better that way cause it won't turn on accidentally.

Both on eBay around $10 bucks. Found housing for $9.78. I think the glass frame that sits on digitizer is about ten bucks. Oem Battery door may be more. I just bought housing so I can have the chrome silver frame instead of my scratched up carbon blue frame.

lol too lazy to leave his gnote.
I like it
My upgrade isn't for another 15 months I believe(Note3!). So I'm going to give my note a minor cosmetic facelift. Replacing the back casing shouldn't be too hard. Remove screw's and it should pop off. Don't have to mess with detaching ribbons or extra components. I also wanna replace the glass over the digitizer without the Att logo. But I'm going to have to do more research on that.

Sent from my SGH-T879 using xda premium
I just replaced the entire LCD/glass/digitizer myself, cuz I cracked the entire thing.
FYI, digitizer/LCD/glass is all glued together. I don't think you can safely separate the glass from the LCD/digitizer, if you need to replace just the glass. More than likely, you will damage the LCD/digitizer in the process.
And if you need to replace the entire glass/LCD/digitizer, replacement is $200+. So, if you are trying to replace the glass only, proceed with extreme caution and be ready to spend another $200+ for the LCD/digitizer replacement.

Does the new housing come with the power and volume buttons?
My power button gets stuck a lot nowadays. It's quite annoying when it just boot loops.
Housing usually doesn't come with internal components. If it is getting stuck, you can take your phone apart and see if you can clean the button and put it back together.
If not, you can just buy the buttons separately.

http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-Samsun...F8&qid=1380813241&sr=8-2&keywords=note+3+case
It fits the phone quite well without adding much bulk to the original size.
Until a more premium leather wallet case becomes available, this will do for me.

Same here. It was like $6 and free shipping, so it'll hold me over until they release an OtterBox for it, or the official Samsung cases. Or anything really, provided it isn't too crazy expensive. Plus, it looks cool.
It was this "leather" map case in case anyone is curious. And I lied. It's $7.

S-Pen Broke in Half

My S-Pen broke, just wondering where I could buy another one for cheap and if it is covered at all by the phones warranty?
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
just superglue it back, or go to the samsung store and buy one. and no it does not cover with the warrenty, its your fault that you broke it.
It's like $15 from Samsung with the 50% off code
Covered by the warranty!?! Really!?! If it was broke when you first took your phone out of the box, then yes, the warranty would cover it. After you've had the phone, not so much.
That's basically like asking if the manufacturers warranty for your car will still cover your car after you've ran it in to a tree! Lol
SwiftKey'ed from my White Sprint Note 3 via XDA Premium
Unless it broke due to a manufacturer defect. Then they should warranty it.
