Anyone come across replacement rear covers yet?
I'm looking to buy the 5" version but can only find black ones that will ship to me, so I was considering buying black and changing the rear cover to white if I can buy that by itself.

The Z3560 is used in the 2GB models right? I have the Z3580 with the 4GB model.
Same here.
I bought ZE550ML 1,8Ghz in black color because it was the last one but i wanted everything except black at start.
So if i could buy a new back to change my black one to silver or white , it would be really nice.
I dont find anything on internet for now (maybe/probably too soon), so if someone find that, thanks to share

I got them. They are meh. Look better on the picture than what they really are. Aluminum bumper with a plastic/acrylic sliding back. Adds tons of bulk to the phone. Doesn't seem very durable if it falls, at least the plastic/acrylic panel.
Let's talk only about rear cover replacement here, so others can find what they want.
The link for case above is not a rear cover, so must go to cases topic.
Rear cover replacement is exactly the same as original coming with phone. It can have different material, texture, etc, but main idea should be kept.
So far, i couldn't find custom back covers for ZF2 yet.

Those are back covers, but with flips (similar to original flip). I couldn't fins only back covers yet. Especially some special covers with textures or leather finish. For my Samsung Galaxy S4 i saw a lot of different covers (although the best one is original black edition cover). I hope ZF2 will get more attention from accessories manufacturers.

The most important - it will be very ugly. Since ZF2 has arc surface on the back, any attempt to make a flat case will make this phone very bulky and ugly.

The second one that I order is more polished and round edges. Still bulky but way less.
I've been hunting around for replacement battery covers for the Zenfone 2 and can't find anything. Asus have shouted loudly about the interchangeable coloured backplate but I can't find any for sale anywhere.
Has anyone had any luck finding any? I don't mean clip-on cases, but backplates that replace your current battery plate.

Hi
I think I've found a site that sells spare parts for asus that has what u want:
http://www.asusparts.eu/partfinder/Asus/Mobile/ZenFone/ZenFone 2 ZE551ML#Cover
The back cover contain the NFC module so it's probably one of these:
Under "Cover" section you'll find items like:
ZE551ML-6J BATT-COVER ASSY WITH NFC ANTENNA/CN
After "ZE551ML-" comes the color-code there are 6A,6B.6C.6G and 6J. (there are 5 available colors so...)
I sent them an email regarding this and they've answered that they are not sure which color goes with which code.
Hope this helps
I haven't been able to find any either...so I'm guessing no one is really making them yet. Hopefully they US launch will expand the market enough that someone decides they're worth producing.

I don't think they care, probably they deal in bulk for repair labs. Such customers would buy all colors anyway...
Anyhow you're more then welcome to send them an email and try getting a better answer. As I'm not intending to buy a cover now, I don't want to push for an answer. I feel I'll be waisting the seller's time on a non sale...

So the clear plastic ones from ATT seem to be junk (plus they're clear).
The "carbon fiber" ones from Samsung were a letdown.
Anyone find anything decent yet? I must say this is one of the very few areas that the iPhone benefits from.
Anyone have experience with Pdair? They seem high ($28) but they might look promising. There are no pics of the Captivate Version of this yet but they come in black and silver aluminum, here's the iPhone version:

Honestly the PDair leather cases look alright but the metal cases look ridiculous to me and the clasp that keeps them shut looks pretty cheap. I say we need to petition for some Otterbox love! Otherwise I really haven't seen any hard cases out there.

They just released like the Droid Defender case like a year after release I would not hold my breath for them LOL
I'd like a leather case except that stupid flap would get in the way when I'm trying to use it.
And yea, I had the same thought about the metal case. I wonder if it FIRMLY snaps down or what... Was hoping someone would comment that has used them before.
i bought a case from ebay. its a pretty nice case and i luv it. since i cant post links so search "FUNKY STRIPES Phone Cover Hard Case Samsung Captivate" on ebay. you'll find it.

Hey please check out my post about what I have found out about the hard case situation for the Captivate!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=758778
I got a case from ebay, just searched "snap on case captivate" I got the black one that says it is rubberized in the description. The thing snaps on very securely and is very difficult to take off, so I think the protection is good. Access to all the physical do-dads like the usb gate are easily reachable. My only gripe is the notification bar is harder to access with the case on, but if I use the tip of my finger I can get it and I've gotten used to it but it still deserves mention. I'll post pics if you want but it is nothing spectacular. Cheap too, like $8 with free shipping and come in different colors. Looks like the same design as the carbon fiber one just not as much of an eye sore. What was the letdown with the carbon fiber one for you?
Looks like there's also a "carbon fiber" case that's different than Samsung's on Ebay now too, for $8.
For $8 if it snaps together well and is clean looking: it's better for me.
There's really four complaints to Samsung's:
1) Doesn't fit together SUPER well, but this isn't bad enough for me to return it on this point alone
2) When I bought it I thought it was clean, but I got a case with a Galaxy S logo on the back. Again not enough for me to return it on this point alone
3) Some of the rubberized coating was coming off
4) It's not really carbon fiber as it originally stated...

Alright, I'll go a head and get one and do a review on it.
I have the AT&T hard rubberized Body Glove case - but it looks like Body Glove has posted a hard shell snap-on case. Looks interesting with a removable belt clip that doubles as a kickstand (at least in portrait mode). Anyone tried it yet?
http://www.bodyglovemobile.com/prod...205034&ManufacturerId=1204552&ModelId=3529492
No but for $30 they can suck it. LOL
So for 12 bucks I got this case and a car charger. It definitely adds bulk, and this is probalbly moreso than most.
I had a couple thoughts today, thought I'd share them and see what people think. Perhaps even get the attention of someone that has the skill to implement some of these ideas.
First thought:
LED's don't really need much power, and if one was only used for a flash, you could power it off a watch sized battery for some time. Have they ever made cases for phones that have an LED that could be used as a camera flash in them? This could be a nice mod to any hard case out there. I for one do not have the skill to make anything like that, but would be very willing to pay for something like that.
Second thought:
A case with a modified back to allow a slide out keyboard. I'm thinking something like the following
http://www.adapt-mobile.com/multimedia/product/view/adapt_adk_100_micro_keyboard
but integrated into a case. I realize you would have to charge both the phone and the keyboard, but it could be an interesting project for someone that knows enough to do this.
Just some thoughts. If anyone knows how to do any of this, let me know. I'm aware i just described most of our missing features from the Epic, but I think using a case to overcome our missing features could be a big seller.
Those are the two reasons I almost switched over to Sprint for the Epic 4G.

Again, how is the phone going to communicate to the case?
I mean if you truly want something like this then you should really get a different phone (like the Epic). I personally don't like it because A) Sprint sucks here, and B) slide out keyboards add bulk and weight and thickness and C) I don't care about a flash.

I like and still use Swype for one reason: easy one-finger messages.
It's not highly accurate when you are moving quickly.
And two-finger "pecking" messaging (a'la iPhone) is still faster than Swype is.

I've started looking around the web to find places that sell the rear housing for the Galaxy Nexus i9250 (GSM version). I'm finding that the rear housing seems to be relatively cheap ($15-20). According to iFixit (step 6), the removal/installation of the rear housing is actually really easy.
Video tutorial (Thanks to snidrx). Rear housing removal is 1:19 - 1:33:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC0Wo7a_FqI
Necessary tools to replace rear housing can be found HERE for $3.50.
The GSM i9250 rear housing can be found at the below places:

Link 2 (Perfect fit confirmed in post 216)

The i515 (Verizon version) rear housing can be found at the below place:
Link 1 (Perfect fit confirmed in post 112 with pics)
It's been confirmed by superlj in post #86 that the eBay seller cellphone_parts is selling a rear housing for the GSM Galaxy Nexus that is missing key features which make it unusable. BE AWARE!
** If you have successfully purchased the rear housing for the i9250 or i515 please chime in and post the link to where you purchased the housing from.**

Hey guys,
My TPU case started causing some slight scuffing on the corners of the back housing on my Galaxy Nexus. I've looked on eBay and the rear housing seems to be relatively cheap ($43-46). And according to iFixit (step 6), the removal/installation of the rear housing is actually really easy.
So I was thinking about picking up a spare rear housing for whenever I decide to go without a case or switch to one that doesn't leave scuffs. I've always been pretty weary of eBay so I figured I would get your input. Does anyone have any experience with any of the below sellers, specifically with the Galaxy Nexus rear housing?

if you do replace it, id suggest protecting your next one with a skin... Skins go on the phone but they are thin enough to fit inside cases. my skin is a carbon fiber skinomi.. it prevents scuffs and scratches on the part your replacing. i had it on my phone before any cases touched the new phone.

It's the Black Cruzer TPU case. It's pretty soft. To be honest I'm not entirely sure how it's even causing the scuffing but considering the case has been on since 5 minutes after I took the phone out of the box, I'm positive it's the case.

Please keep me posted either in this thread or via PM when you get it. I am really curious to see if one of those ebay one fits perfectly. If so I will definitely pick a spare one up.
I dropped my SGN from a very short distance (maybe 2 feet) onto pavement, and it tumbled. The screen is fine, but all 4 corners have some sort of scratches.
I'm considering pulling the "hey VZW, my phone keeps rebooting on me, can I get a replacement?" maneuver, but if that DOESN'T work (or, if they say they'll be sending me a refurb - dunno why, but I HATE the idea of it having been owned by someone else - call me crazy), I'll gladly shell out the $45 for a replacement housing.
And if I'm looking at my phone correctly, there are not "your warranty is void once you jam a screwdriver through this sticker" sticker, like my Incredible had. Liking that a lot.
Keep me posted on what you end up doing.

I have a similar story to yours. I dropped mine about 3-4 feet onto asphalt and have scrapes on all four corners. Most aren't bad however the bottom of the phone is pretty beat up. The screen has no scratches miracuously. The only other problem I noticed is when the phone vibrates it sounds a little rough but oh well, everything else functions fine! I too wouldn't mind paying $45 for a new housing provided the installation was easy.

Only removing the digitizer is more work so it might be harder then it looks (they tear-down phones for a living and it doesn't cost them a dime if it goes wrong). But any way let us know how it went.

I ordered my SGN on my work account (a government line). I was talking to my sales rep today in normal everyday business, and calmly mentioned that my SGN was rebooting on it's own (it's not, really... but she doesn't know that), and she said "Oh really? Well, do you want me to ship you a new one?"
"Oh. I hadn't thought much about it, but... I wouldn't want it to become a big problem in the future... so... yeah, I guess that'd be nice."
Couldn't have scripted it better myself. She didn't say anything about it possibly being a refurb tho. Maybe I'll ask her about it tomorrow.

Haha Nice!
You are going through Verizon though. I've found that exchanging phones through your carrier is very simple. However, in my case I have the GSM model and T-Mobile won't help me out with it at all.
I'm not really looking for an exchange anyway. I love the phone and aside from the very tiny scuffs caused by the case it's 100% perfect. I just figured that since the rear housing replacements are only $45, if they fit perfect I might as well pick a spare up.

I dropped my SGN from a very short distance (maybe 2 feet) onto pavement, and it tumbled. The screen is fine, but all 4 corners have some sort of scratches.
I'm considering pulling the "hey VZW, my phone keeps rebooting on me, can I get a replacement?" maneuver, but if that DOESN'T work (or, if they say they'll be sending me a refurb - dunno why, but I HATE the idea of it having been owned by someone else - call me crazy), I'll gladly shell out the $45 for a replacement housing.
And if I'm looking at my phone correctly, there are not "your warranty is void once you jam a screwdriver through this sticker" sticker, like my Incredible had. Liking that a lot.

So you damaged your phone and you want to fraud your carrier? You sound like a real good guy.
You need to man up and take responsibility. If you want it fixed you need to pay for it. Or you should have put insurance on it. If you can't afford to fix it, put a $10 case on it and cover it up.

Hey XDA!!!!!
We were so happy to see that there's a 2013 N7 section on the Forums. Hopefully a few of your will have heard of our skins, but for anyone who's not familiar, feel free to check out the 400k view, 380 page thread about our Nexus 4 skins over in the N4 section of XDA.
We just completed and launched our offering for the Nexus 7 as of today. We won't bore you with too many details, but here are the key points:
Made in Canada using only authentic 3M vinyl
Guaranteed to not leave any adhesive residue
Supremely precise fit (we measure each skin hundreds, if not 1000+ times before finalizing the dieline)
Genuine textures that reflect the light accordingly and have true depth
Fast, Worldwide shipping for $3, regardless of order quantity
You can mix'n'match front/back pieces at no extra charge using our interactive purchase interface
We love drawing stuff. Ask for a drawing during the Special Instructions section of checkout and we'll hook it up
You can order the skin without the "nexus" cutouts at no extra charge, just write "NO NEXUS" in the Special Instructions. Same applies if you want "JUST THE X CUTOUT"
Pre-orders began today. We'll be shipping them on the 8th so that delivery lines up with the release of our how-to-apply tutorial video. One of the biggest pitfalls of skins is that, regardless of how precise the fit is, it really comes down to how well the skin has been applied by the end-user. We remedy this by offering kickass, high production-value, concise tutorial videos. You can view an example here: http://dbrand.com/subhowto/htc-one.
Price is $8 for the front, $12 for the back. We're in the process of taking mind-blowing photos of the device in every skin style, but you can see some temporary photos by clicking the style of skin you want to preview below.
Red Carbon
Black Carbon

Dark Titanium

I like Red. Two questions:
1.) Which would you describe as more "grippy"... the red carbon, or the red true color?
2.) Do you have plans for a red titanium?
Thank you.
We'll also go ahead and answer some questions that we know are going to come up sooner or later:
Q: Do the corners peel up?
A: Absolutely not! We have designed the skin and tested it thoroughly and can guarantee that the corners will never peel or bunch up.
Q: Why doesn't it go EDGE-TO-EDGE??!?!!!! I WANT BETTER COVERAGE!!!
A: As do we, sir-yells-a-lot. The coverage we offer is limited to 5.12mm from the edge (yes.. exactly 5.12mm) for multiple reasons. First and foremost, the soft-touch rubbery material that the N7 is made of does not bond well with the 3M adhesive. This means that if we were to extend the skin even 1 extra millimeter, it would peel up over time. Not only that, but the rounded corner would end up being larger, meaning potential for the corner to peel up easily. The second reason is for the feel. What does that mean? It means that, if the skin were extended any further, the material would give you a sharp feeling on your fingers when holding the device. The coverage we offer makes the skin imperceptible to the touch.
Q: Well, if you're saying the rubbery backside doesn't bond well with the adhesive, doesn't that mean my skin is going to come off over time?
A: Not at all. The Nexus 4 is a similar situation. The material sticks to the device, but (when you're ready to remove it), it comes off so easily that you'll have wondered how it stayed stuck there at all! Because of our precision and thoroughly planned coverage, the adhesive bonds very nicely to the area it covers. Once you're ready to remove, it won't be a death-struggle between the skin and device. The skin will remove and (if the lettering is removed carefully), be quite re-usable.
We'll update this post when necessary with the most commonly asked questions.

Haha thanks buddy, we take our videos VERY seriously.
1. Because they are made of the exact same substance (100% PVC), one isn't really "grippier" than the other. We'd argue that the powder-coated texture of the True Color Red may give it a slight edge, but then again the weave on the Red Carbon Fiber is equally as grippy under the right circumstances. The great part about our skins is that it leaves enough of the edge (~5mm) exposed so that when you're holding the device, you have just as much grip as if the device were completely naked!
2. Unfortunately we do not. While we would love to offer a Red Titanium variant, we're committed to only offering the highest grade materials on the market. This means that unless 3M puts it in their line-up, we're not able to put it for sale. They don't currently offer a Red Titanium material, but if they ever do, we'll be the first company on it!
Thanks!
I plan on using a tempered glass screen protector once they become available. Do your products work on top of those?
Just ordered. Don't wanna hesitate because I know you guys will be slammed I once people start seeing this thread hahaha. Now the waiting game...

Indeed they do!
Also, because people are inevitably going to be purchasing screen protectors, we're going to share the exact size spec of the screen cutout. Many screen protector companies allow users to order a "custom-cut" size. Should you happen to order from one of these sites, order a screen protector that is exactly 95.3x151.9 millimeters. The template is 99.99% complete, but we'll likely make another few adjustments before shipping on Thursday. If we make any updates to that size, we'll let you guys know!
Anyway the front skin can be a one piece screen protector and skin?

Logistically, this would be impossible. Clear (screen protector) vinyl and opaque (textured, colored) vinyl are different types of materials. The closest possible solution would be a skin plus a precision-fitted screen protector. We are working on introducing screen protectors, but in order to manufacture transparent protectors, we’d need a 100% dust-free facility. Even a single speck of dust on a clear protector would render it defective. We’re considering opening up a separate warehouse specifically to make transparent protectors, but that’s still at least 6-8 months away. As we stated earlier, there are various companies who offer a "cut-to-size" screen protector option. Should you find and purchase from one of these vendors, make sure the size is exactly 95.3x151.9 millimeters. This size will fit flawlessly within the screen cutout on our skin.

man these look amazing!! my one and only question, does having the skin on the front make the screen size seem different? seems like in the pictures the screen appears smaller with it framed in the skin. probably wont be able to tell untill i see it in person as pictures probably dont do it full justice, but they look amazing none the less, and i will definatly be picking up a back skin!

TBH, this issue was present on the old N7, but because the bezel is so much thinner on the sides of the 2013 N7, it really doesn't make the screen look smaller. Looking forward to hearing your feedback (aka relentlessness praise) once you receive it!
Just writing in to support dbrand. Have titanium for N4 and love it!

I have been using a skin protector on my phone for some time now, but have started to look for a case to have just in case.. (cough)
I came across this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/330843591897?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
And I have never seen this type before and thought I would ask the community if anyone has used this case before.

I have used it a few months.
It a good case if your phone drops
For gaming it's not good the case makes the phone fat :sly:
And it's for phone speakers :sly:
So less sound.
If you want to use the volume buttons they wont work good :sly:

Thank you, much appreciated.
I absolutely love this case. I had this one for more than a year now.
I zoomed in on the case and I can see slits for the speakers... so they are not covered up as I thought they were. Can you tell me if the sound is muffled on this case?
Thank you in advance.
Decided to buy the case, awaiting final invoice with correct shipping to the US. I emailed the seller and he informed me this case would be his last, once they sell out they are gone for good from him. I bought one and there was 1 left.
Soon as I get the case I will throw my thoughts into this thread and request a mod to move this to Accessories thread.
If anyone with experience with this case can still leave their thoughts here I would very much appreciate it. Thank you.

Here are some pictures. Btw the case is around a year old and ive dropped it a lot of times, so there are some scratches. I cant take photos with the phone cause im taking the photos from my xperia play, but i put a photo with the back cover on.

When using the case does it push the screen and gamepad Away from each other? I had a case that was similar and if iooked at the phone from an angle of the headphone jack you could see it clearly pushing tje screen apart from the rest of the phone. I appreciate your feedback.

Looks to me like after ayear this case has held up pretty good. I went ahead and ordered the case from ebay. Turns out the price is for two cases. So.. here's to hoping it works out better then my prior cases. And thank you for the photos. Really gives me an idea of the case and reliability.

I do have to say though, that after removing the case A LOT of times, it starts to "bend" and a small gap opens, and dust seems to go in there and ruin the look. I dont know if its just me, the phone or the case. Heres a pic
Sent from my SXP [R800i]
Ive found using a spare battery plate and some flexible adhesive allows the case to seal up nice, its bendable without breaking and wont grt dust and junk inside.

So a bit bummed/irritated. Seller contacted me to inform me the case is discontinued and no longer available. Despite the fact he still has a listing on ebay. I'm guessing he decided he didnt want to ship the US.
Can anyone tell me the brand and perhaps the model of this case? I really liked it from the looks and would like to continue to search for it elsewhere.

Even though these cases are cheap I really want to get one that people have used and can tell me if its worth getting or not. Ive used both a Otterbox (worst freakin case in the world at least for the XP) and a Trident.... didnt care for it too much.

I have uploaded several pictures from each side I could best provide, The Xperia Play is a AT&T variant with the use of the pacer carbon fiber skin from the gamepad and the back cover which should not be a problem with the use of the case, it makes the back cover press on the sticker slightly but still give that firm hold.
I did drop this phone a couple times for the 6 months I had with this case and the phone was bought pre-owned, the phone is fantastic still, the case edges does not rub on the pad or the side as the sides a slightly down by a fraction of a millimeter (this could be the case because of the skin on the back cover) but it could be flushed to the pad, visually it looks flushed. I am planning to carry my Xperia Play for a long while, maybe another year before I go on another device, I just gotten the 2nd case from the same seller and same package as you seen from my last reply, the second case has a better quality but each case from I seen can vary if the case comes with tiny defects, it wont be anything to send back for refund. If I want to buy another case I will because it fully protects my Xperia Play other than the open ports and the shoulder buttons but that's a given from any other case other than the Ottercase which I found a review for and my opinion of sholder buttons was the same for me.
There are also case that comes in different colors which I found on eBay and they also have grey, blue, purple, and white. I had experience with case worth less than three bucks and the same dilemma keeps comes back, the teeth of the case are cheap and the quality of the shells scratch even if you don't try to drop it. but unlike the cheap cases, this mixed case has rubber teeth that goes all around the phone to create a large hold which works great, it's hard to remove if dropped and that problem of teeth breaking is solved; the plastic part of the mixed case it durable from scratching lightly and has a space for the Sony Ericcson logo, the color is like foggy transparent white, it's not a problem to me personally and it would look like a slight grey on any phone, from normal room lightly it looks like dark grey. The thickness of the mixed case is the slim on the top of the phone, the buttons on the bottom does not touch the surface and the sides of the bezels are covered by the case, the case bezels does not interfere with the touch operations when I used the phone which some cases do. The bottom of the phone the case is average in terms of case thickness, In my opinion this is because of how the phone has to be curved and creates some resistance
In summary the case met my expectations and has not failed me for over 6 months that I use this case, it saved my phone from drops and will continue to do the job for another 6 months, its slim to hold and fit in your pockets, its a trooper! The case is inexpensive and does the job better in terms of drop protection from scratches though not for huge drops, then a trident would do that fine. I am not a guy that goes out much and goes to college and this case is perfect for me, I recommend this case! :good:
so to make a long story short, i managed to shatter the screen on my att branded lg g4. Its so bad that NOTHING displays on the screen when powered on (but the notification led still works lol)

First, Is repairsuniverse a reputable site? Id rather not get jipped for almost $100....
Second, are they US based? I live on the east coast of the US so I'm kinda hoping i could get it sooner then later (because for now I'm stuck using my old iphone 5c and the tiny screen is killing me!!!!!! Hahaha)
And third, are there any other REPUTABLE places i could order from that wouldn't be AS expensive? Because with me being an unemployed single father, i don't have much money to throw around, so id like to try and save as much money as possible....
Thank you very much for your responses and such.
How did you break the screen anyway. what kind of back did it have and were you using any sort of case.

they have a youtube channel with a guy who speaks in an american accent, they dont have any grammatical or spelling errors on their site. They look legit. Credit card means you're protected.
In my market LG offers a free screen replacement within the first six months from sale, worth around the $100 mark. That is the limit of their liability.
Just ask at the service centre closest to you then decide.

Sorry for the lack of reply lol. I will answer all the questions to the best that I can. First off I need to thank ONE TWELVE because I DID order the screen with frame from that site and it actually came in 2-3 days before it was supposed to. It only took 3 days to get from nv to nj.
The only few issues I had with the new screen is FIRST, pulling the headset speaker out was a pita!! Everything came out fine. I think I spent more time just pulling the headset out then I did pulling the ENTIRE phone apart lol. SECOND issue (was kinda my fault) I had forgotten to take the bracket for the proximity sensor out of the old screen and put it into the new one (duhhh, guess I was so excited to actually have a working phone again that I missed that super tiny peice) and the THIRD issue which I haven't assessed yet; the notification LED IS NOWHERE near as bright as it used to be, but I think there may be a piece of film or something that I may have forgotten to remove from the new screen..
As for how the screen broke..... The phone was naked at the time (no case, no screen protector) and it has the black leather back (which I got because it felt like the plastic one would be to slippery cuz theses no grip to it). Me and my son were getting ready to walk out of the amusment park and someone bumped into me as I was texting for my ride (with only one hand, Because the other was holding my son's hand obviously) and being bumped had caught me off guard and the phone fell face down onto the STONE gravel walkway and shattered it right at the bottem of the screen. I'll find the box that has the OLD screen in it and upload a picture.
Mind you, this is the FIRST screen I have ever shattered. And I've owned every iPhone sinch the 3g hahahah

The phone was naked at the time (no case, no screen protector) and it has the black leather back (which I got because it felt like the plastic one would be to slippery cuz theses no grip to it). Me and my son were getting ready to walk out of the amusment park and someone bumped into me as I was texting for my ride (with only one hand, Because the other was holding my son's hand obviously) and being bumped had caught me off guard and the phone fell face down onto the STONE gravel walkway and shattered it right at the bottem of the screen. I'll find the box that has the OLD screen in it and upload a picture.
Mind you, this is the FIRST screen I have ever shattered. And I've owned every iPhone sinch the 3g hahahah

You did not drop your iphones because they're smaller. One hand use when the other hand is busy is why people get phones with smaller screens. But the reason (amongst others) that you got a bigger screen is because those small screens no longer cut it.
Leather means no case so the only thing left is a tempered glass protector. it will protect against a face down drop but not a corner drop, either putting it into or taking it out of a pocket, this too with just one hand.
Look for amfilm. Generic with good reviews on amazon.

Accually I find a case on Amazon that actually fits the leather back (after MUCH searching lol) it's a SPIGEN branded one. Its got a rubber back that slips into the phone and then a hard plastic bumper that clips around it (it's kinda hard to explane, I'll post the Amazon link)... But after a week or so of using the case I'm really not a fan of it. I might try and find something else that doesn't feel so cheap.
(sorry for the crazy long Amazon link lol)

Its called the neo hybrid and i have two of them. Good grip. rather than cheap i'd have thought you may have found them bulky.
other options are verus verge, uag, caseology if you don't mind the size.
Anyone else have luck w/ a reliable source for the screen / digitizer AND housing for a sprint variant? ereplacementparts.com said theirs does NOT work w/ the sprint variant. Anyone try the ones on Amazon?
Thanks.
Why don't you try the one already mentioned earlier ?
am surprised to hear there is even a difference between sprint and others when it comes to the screen.

Would not call a 2 pg thread a lot of people.
But it has also happened to some that are not on sprint too.
Screen incompatibility?
Hello.
Has anyone encountered or does anyone know of incompatibilities with screen and G4 model? I recently bought a screen replacement but it doesn't seem to light up. The LED indicator and other components attached to the screen work fine though.
Actually the long story is I got hold of 3 replacement screens. The 1st one lit up but had problems recognizing touch and the display was fuzzy so I asked for another replacement. The 2nd one behaves as described in the paragraph above. The same goes for the 3rd one.
I noticed my original screen and the 1st replacement screen's ribbon were different from the 2nd and 3rd in that the 2nd and 3rd had a metal sheet which was not present on the 1st and my original one.
This is what the 2nd and 3rd replacement screens' ribbons look like: s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/usetsfiles/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/r/e/replacement_part_for_lg_g4_f500_lcd_screen_and_digitizer_assembly_-_black_-_lg_logo_-_a_grade_3__1.jpg
(sorry, I'm not yet allowed to post links)
I haven't tried removing the metal sheet as I haven't seen a tutorial video that does that.
The image isn't showing when i entered it into the browser. Says something about an xml file
Reduce the size of the filename and host it again.

It looks like some sort shield to protect during shipping.
How do you fit this thing ?
i've not heard of incompatibility between G4 screens before.
