Ok so my wife got her original incredible run over by a car. I called it into insurance over the long weekend but needed a replacement immediately as she is pregnant. So i went ahead and bought her the incredible 2 (full retail). She let my 3 yr old daughter hold it while coming out of the store who then proceded to drop it and ran over it with a shopping cart shattering the screen on that one. i got the replacement incredible in but now need to replace the glass on the INC2.
I cant find anyone online who has them yet and i cant file another claim on the insurance as it wasnt manufacturers defect and im maxed out on claims. Any ideas on where i can get a replacement glass and bezel? my only other option is to set the phone back up on my third line and pay the fees till the insurance kicks in which will cost me more than the glass replacement. Any help would be appreciated.

Here it is hope that helps.
Edit: actualy thats the LCD, my bad. But still
you have 30 days to buy insurance for this phone as well? i know this is almost a fraud but.... maybe should buy insurance for this phone and then claim it in a couple of days...
p.s. i am not suggesting anything. i am not responsible for any lawsuit, liability, etc. in regards to your equipment.
I think this may be all you need. http://bit.ly/MjIYJ

Sixteen2nd I am not sure this will work. I appreciate the thought but I was thinking more along the lines of this http://bit.ly/lyWC6M and a bluetooth.

Anyone know where I could find a spare battery cover for my black mytouch 4g? I had my phone taken apart on my bed and when i came back my dog decided it was a nice chew toy to play with. Its completely bent to the point where i cant get it on the phone no matter what.

sometimes people sell display model fake phones on E-bay. these phones are usually the case with a fake screen plastered on the front and may be of use to you... i don't know if that will apply to this phone, but it's worth a try
This One is 20 bucks and is a non functional dummy display... It might be made of plastic, but usually in my experiences these are actual phone bodies, with fake insides (or no insides as it were...)

looking at this image it looks like the battery door on it may be able to work... no way to tell unless the seller is willing to let you know or you take the plunge and try it
one of the auctions says "can't be used for spare parts" but that could be referring to the internals. you should ask one of the sellers if the battery door is removeable and have them send you a pic of it removed if it is so you can determine if it will work.

Ok, So a few months ago I bought zagg invisible shield for my MyTouch 4g. I followed the installation instructions and it looked pretty good. The next day the screen protector had developed very noticeable black 'streaks'.

This was obviously quite upsetting as they were quite distracting and I cant get them to rub off. I dont think they are on the outside though. I was able to replace it with the warranty, but shipping was pretty harsh and I had to ship it to an friend in the US and have them mail it to me so I could avoid some of the shipping cost. Anyway, I got it, watched the installation video again, cleaned the screen thoroughly and applied it. I then waited about 16 hours before using the device as per the instructions. THE SAME THING HAPPENED!!! The streaks developed after about 3 hours of use! Does this happen a lot with Zagg protectors? I would not recommend Zagg to anyone at this point. Sure they replace it for free but the product is not good based on what I've seen. I am not going to do the warranty again unless I know what I'm doing wrong because it is going to cost me more in shipping. Perhaps someone can recommend a product that doesn't do this or tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
zaggs are IMO overrated and a pain to install. I buy the inexpensive ones off ebay (5 for $1.70) and they haven't let me down

Zaggs are more difficult to apply correctly than mustard to a hot dog.

I'm not sure I follow. Isn't mustard quite easy to apply to a hotdog?
I ordered one from bestskinsever. Lets see how that goes...
Hi.
how much does it cost to fix/replace the screen of the galaxy nexus device? i dropped my work's galaxy nexus and the screen is cracked with a small hole near the edge of the screen.
the phone seems to still work and the screen is still responsive as ever but actual screen casing is cracked.
I dont think its insured by work but just incase , how much is it to repair/replace? Same cost as the device? i hope not as im already stressing about it lol.
Who would fix it? Samsung themselves or do i ask a specialist?
I am based in london by the way if that helps.
thanks
id suggest you fix it yourself, just buy the sreen which is about $250 :s, but hey its at least not as much as a new nexus
taking the phone apart the device is quite easy try using these links here:

And if he send it back to samsung its gonna be 160$.... at the moment its not worth to repair it by himself.
Youll need to wait for the price to go down if you want to replace if yourself.
Yea i seen the prices of the digitiser and it aint cheap. they start at around £160-£200
I have paint peeling off and was wondering how I can fix it without replacing the whole screen, do not want to spend $200+.

In Canada with Rogers, bought it off someone on a trading site with no receipt. Am I completely screwed?
Pretty much..
Might not be screwed. Its seems as a deficit. Call Samsung. Might still be able to do a warranty claim.

If you get no result with samsung warranty you can try to buy a new screen on ebay and replace it. Since the faceplate is glued to the screen its the easiest way i can think. Be sure to buy the screen for the i747 not the international version or it won't fit. Theres a lot of video on the net showing how to replace screen on s3.
So did u ever get it fixed or replaced

Does anyone know where I could get a "Rear Housing Back Plate Replacement"? Honestly don't care if its the OEM or not, I tried to reach out the Samsung but the rep couldn't give me a clear answer. I found two places online but they are charging ridiculous price for them considering its a piece of plastic.
Bummer

Both of those honestly. I would expect a piece of plastic to cost closer to $20 or so considering the cases themselves cost around that amount. I got the number to Samsung's repair department. Going to call later and see what prices they can provide me with. Otherwise I can just wait for a broken one to sell on ebay or something.

Thank you, its about the same price with the exchange rate. I will keep looking.
What happened to yours and how bad is the damage?
You could always put this case on and cut off the front part.
