I cracked my rear glass and purchased the replacement 'JerryRigEverything' recommended on his how-to replacement video on youtube. Not only did it arrive with a crack, but it has adhesive covering the entire back side and not just the edges. I bought another one on ebay which I just received today and same thing, adhesive covering the entire back (minus the lens and sensors of course), even though the seller assured me the adhesive was only on the edges.
So does anyone have a good source for replacement rear glass that has adhesive only around the edges like the original one?

You can try this one. I think it might have what your looking for. I would just get some double sided tape. I found it works better for me.

the lens on my back cover cracked when dropped a while back, and to get a good photo i now have to remove the back cover to get the obstruction off... is there anything i can buy short of a whole new back cover? all i need is a sticky piece of glass like the one that comes on the original cover...
thanks!
Why don't you just take a piece of plastic and work on it with sandpaper? You could even use some cd jewel case. The material is usually fragile but if you make a cut on its surface with a sharp knife it will tend to brake along this line. So it's fairly easy to break it down to a rectangular shape roughly the size of the camera cover and work with sandpaper or a file until you have a proper shape. Putting some sticky paper cut to shape of the cover on the plastic (preferably on both sides) will help in achieving the proper shape and will protect the surface from scratching.
Just look around the hose and be creative - i'm sure you'll be able to find a piece of clear, non-scratched plastic somewhere If you feel that the cd-case plastic will be too soft and will scratch too easily you could apply a piece of screen protector to it. It sure isn't worth buying a new screen protector just for that but if you already have one on your phone you could use a piece of it to protect camera cover and get a new one for the screen
As for attaching the cover to g1 back cover, there are many ways ranging from glues to double-sided sticky tapes. Use whatever you have at your disposal (just stay away from cyanoacrylate adhesive aka super glue - its vapor will ruin the transparent plastic).
a new back cover is cheap, like $6.

what is your phone model? Different phones have different camera lens with varied shape. A camera lens can not be just replaced by a plastic stuff as the guy said above and it is a prttey tough thing to shape the plastic. an original camera lens does not much. It may be no more than $1。
Hello. I have had a galaxy s3 with cracked glass and tried to replace it. I have seen many videos on youtube how to replace it. Basically people on these videos heat the screen and then remove the front glass easily, because the digitizer is glued to the lcd. But when I tried to remove it it came off quite easily, but only then I noticed that the digitizer was glued not to the lcd but to the front glass, so when i tried to remove front glass I accidentally broke the digitiser connector and somehow damaged the lcd. You can see photos here:

http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Samsung-galaxy-S-III-/00/s/MTYwMFg5MDE=/z/QREAAMXQ74JTUq67/$_58.JPG (in this photo you can see that the digitizer was glued to the front glass very strongly)
I would like to ask, do you know why the digitizer could have been glued to the front glass but not to the lcd? And why the lcd could have been damaged while removing front glass??
I would really wanna know the answer myself, as I ordered one that should have reached yesterday, but as they do not work on weekends, it will be here tommorow, and I don't wanna brake my display forever, especially because mine is not that damaged.
Any ideas?
my advice don't bother with a glass replacement. I HAVE TRIED TWICE and as the op said the digitizer is glued to the front glass. this has been the case with both the original screen and two replacement lcd/digitizer/glass assemblies that i personally took apart. each time the glass was fused to the digitizer . i used a heat gun and a laser thermometer and still i failed. I was successful replacing the whole screen assembly twice . but those cost about $130 from amazon,com. These replacements may seem at first like oem but the ones i got cracked very easily. they dont use the gorilla glass and the quality is not as good. one replacement was really bad in sunlight. could not see anything. after my screen cracked a third time i got a galaxy s 5 . and started using a case and screen protector.
Hi Guys,
Any one has idea about where can I buy Front AND Back Tempered Glass Protector
I am egarly waiting for it.
Thanks & Regards.:good:
i bought it from an accessories store in my country. you can buy one from amazon, ebay, etc
if it's not high quality i don't recommend it as it will cause some weird feedback from the touch panel because of the dirt, fingerprints, fluids .. etc "result from my experience with my current bad screen protector"
so i do recommend getting a high quality Tempered glass screen protector with oleophobic coating
You don't need for back only buy for front side
You can get them for like 8 to 10$
Or on aliexpress.com for 2 to 5 $
sent from either my xperia Z2 or teclast x98 air 3g using TAPALK!!!
I ordered this from aliexpress

Has anyone experience with broken tempered glass instead of the screen? I broke my screen 2 weeks after i got my z2. (It fell from about 30cm to a carpet xD) Touch didn't work anymore, cause of a little crack.
Now i am using tempered glass, and i hope it would prevent the screen from a damage
I have tried 2 different brands of glass screen protectors. Both of them interfered with my proximity sensor. So now I don't use one at all.

I had tempered glass on both back and front cause I never use any cases. I dropped my phone from about 9 Feet (From the first floor), the top right edge hit the ground and the then the it spun and landed face down. To my surprise only the tempered glass broke, So glad I invested in one.
The only damage is that the top right corner is scratched like crazy and because of the sheer force of impact the metal frame has deformed a little near the micro SD card.
Is there any such thing as a tempered screen with oleophobic coating and also covering the camera? My camera's outer glass is so damaged (there are bubbly deformations on it) that it can not focus properly sometimes.
Google Rhinoshield by evolution labs. They have tempered glass protectors for both front and back.

I need for the back cause it scratches easily because when I put down my phone then I put it on the back side of the phone. Now I use a screen protector just on the back side
Hi Guys,
I found a seller on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Back-rear-c...i-2-3-4-Mi2-Mi3-Mi4-Redmi-Note-/272046963773?
Who is selling the replacement glass for my phone, I have a slight crack along the lens that is causing focus issues when I take photo's,
It's cheap and I want to go ahead and purchase it, however before I Go ahead I need to know if I will be able to easily remove the piece and replace it? Is it just held in there by glue? does anyone know or have any experience in doing a replacement?
I changed camera glass on my Xiaomi Note 1 easily. You just need to open a phone and push glass from other side of holder. Replacement glass has adhesive tape on it. The quality of photos was increased very well. Replacement glass can be found on Aliexpress.
The mix 4 came with a screen protector installed?
There is seemingly to be a piece that intentionally left out the circle at the Top, hence making the front camera position very obvious.
I've been trying to remove it, from the sides, but have difficulty doing so...
Yes it has low quality protection screen foil.
thanks, i've managed to tear it away.
found some tempered glass on ebay, looks a very good fit, but no tried them yet,
Has anyone found a protector without holes/cutouts? I bought two sets and both of them have holes for the front camera.
Yeah there are some tempered glass on amazon, good but fingerprint sensor stops working.
I am currently using a film version now, ok but peel at the edges.
