Zagg invisible shield.. getting rid of mine

I just bought a case so I don't need my zagg shield anymore.
I was just wondering if anyone wants it? I'd send my stuff in for the brand new replacement and then simply mail it to you.
You'd just have to pay for the shipping/handling that Zagg makes the consumer pay. And if YOU ever needed it replaced, mail it back to me and I'll send in the used pieces back to zagg. again, you only have to pay the price of shipping/handling.
Just doing this for the sake of not wasting a Lifetime warranty. I know it's kind of a hassle for you, but saving money, even if it's not mine, still makes me happy.
If you have questions just email: [email protected]
EDIT: I just checked with zagg, they say the shipping cost is 2.99 +tax. So you'd be getting it for pretty much 3 bucks.

I have a zagg invisishield. couldn't stand it on the screen anymore so took it off about a month ago. been debating taking the full body coverage off since its starting to et ucky and i really didn't like that it made the phone look glossy in the first place.
Anyone use their nexus one with no coverage? how has it fared? I am religious about my right pocket being for my phone only and nothing else, and regularly use the sleeve that came with it. I'm thinking if i get rid of the shield i won't have problems.. but i just know the second it comes off i'l drop it for the first time or throw it in a pocket with something hard and sharp.

haha, +1 about the right pocket. Its my designated 'phone pocket'. Honestly my phone would be perfectly fine if i didnt' have the shield on (from scratches) and i've never dropped my phone yet.
However, it's only been 3 months with the phone, and since i rooted mine, I'm really worried about someone dropping it and breaking it, which is why I bought a case.
I DO know that the shield has given me a lot less to worry about, that tiny things on my desk or dropping some coins on the screen won't damage it.

Screen protectors and cases - really necessary?

Are these things really necessary? I guess the Body Glove gel case is OK, but I don't abuse my phone and think these things might be unnecessary.
Also do teh screen protectors make it obvious that they are on the phone?

i got both just in case since i cant get insurance on my phone because i used a cross upgrade on my account and ATT wont let me...but regardless i say do it.

I'm careful as well but I slipped my iPhone one time and it bit pavement... Good thing I had a hard case.
With THIS phone I'm considering going the Insurance route and just using a bodyguardz for scratches.
Edit- after thinking about it... Pay $5/mo with a $50 deductible or pay one-time $30 for a good case (when they come out)??? Makes no sense to buy insurance, for me anyway.

I usually have not carried a case but honestly I have dropped every single phone I have had since the first gen iPhone at least once. Sometimes I can't help it no matter how careful I am. A couple times it has been other people dropping my phone.
Less than 24 hours after getting the captivate I was getting out of my car at work and the phone is large enough that I guess when I sat down in my car it poked out of my pocket a little. When I got out of the car it fell out of my pocket and hit the ground. Luckily I had a case. Better paying 25 or whatever for the case than having that 1% chance of an accident ruin the phone.

Should protect your phone but look sexy too.protect your phone but look sexy too.If you are absolutely against a case then just get a carrying case that you take it in and out of.
Screen protector is a must with touch screen if you're a guy. Screen films are not noticible if you pick a good brand. Read through the captivate accessory sub forum for more info.

slippery grip -> cracked screen

Pretty sure most of you can tell where I am heading with this thread based on the title. I personally find the One S has a rather thin and slippery grip on the side, and I am wondering if the fellow One S owners share similar sentiments.
I had the phone for about 2.5 weeks or so, and was totally loving it, except the fact that I always had a hard time getting a good grip with the phone in my hand. One day, I accidentally dropped the phone, from maybe not more than 3ft high. And unfortunately the screen completely cracked. I was extremely upset, partially at myself for not using a screen protector, but more so at HTC.
Phone is not covered by T-mobile's warranty (no insurance), HTC could not even give me a quote for repair due to the phone was just released. So now I have arguably the latest and best android phone in the market collecting dust at home.

Sorry to hear, dude - was this the grey version?
I don't think a screen protector would have helped you as they're more to protect from scratches, not impact.
Did you buy it with a credit card? If so, you may have insurance without even knowing it.

Dude thats so bad
I new i would break my phone if i didnt get a case... after a few minutes it was slipping out of my hand...
The design is awesome, but they should have implemented so rubber grips down the sides or something..
Anyway, if you do get it fixed...... GET A CASE !! its the best thing i ever bought

Check the House Insurance (if you have it) you may be covered....mine is!
Edit:
Ebay are selling the screens

I know Discover cards have a insurance clause on some of their stuff so you should check that out like the other guy said . . but yea it's slipped out of my hands onto my jeans countless times because of the lack of grip lol .. that's why i bought a case first thing ..and as for screen protectors i've cracked 3 phones with them on (one with a case on as well) so they don't really help from drops and places should tell you that when you buy it too

Can u post a pic of the damage

I just got my New One S today as I bricked mine.
:'(

My wife just dropped her One S.... Screen cracked but I'm within the 14 day insurance purchase from T-Mobile. Just got off the phone and within a few weeks we'll warranty the phone. Looking at about 100-120 after all it's a said and done. Needless to say we're lucky on this one.

I dropped my iphone4 a countless of times on concrete and the glass never shattered. I dropped my 1S a couple of times already on ceramic tiles and still nothing except that MAO paint problem.
I think cases are butt ugly and a waste of money. I wouldn't even go for the 1S if I was going to use a case. Seriously put a 1S in a case and what does it have over the SGS3 or the 1X?
Anyway just my opinion

i actually dont believe in phone case either becuz i think they make the phone look ugly and bulky, thus ive never bought phone cases.
however, due to this phone being so thin and slippery, I felt like a grippy phone case is a must have. after surfing around the web for a little while, i found diztronic matte back phone case. Just got the case today and i love it!
high quality case, its made of TPU so it has a good amount of grip. All the holes are cut out perfectly (it doesnt cover any speaker/mic/sensor opening). The case is also thin so it doesnt make my phone bulky (sure it makes ur phone look a little thicker, but it's not a bad compromise at all). And last but not least, i really dig the look of the case, very well designed in my opinion. It also come with a screen protector in case anyone needs one.

And this is exactly why I'm putting a case on my phone for the first time ever. Sorry to hear about your phone mate.

I've checked online and seen it listed but can I just verify that this phone has Gorilla Glass 1/2? Obviously, that doesn't make it crack proof but I work construction and end up putting my phones through their paces and found that my Milestone (Gorilla Glass) held up a fair bit better than my Desire Z (no Gorilla Glass).
And yes, in my situation a case (And insurance) is a necessity on a three year contract.

I've had the phone for all of 5 days. it fell from my hand as I put something down on a rock, litterally no drop whatsoever, but it slid a whopping 6 inches down the rock on it's face and the screen cracked and scratched. if it is supposed to have gorilla glass, I was gypped. I have no renters insurance and didn't buy it with a credit card, but I do have a plan.
-get the insurance from t-mobile, as I'm withing the 14 days
-enjoy not caring about the phone for the next 6 months
-pay the 130 for a replacement through asurion
-sell new phone for 400+ (if the release of the S3 doesn't drop the market value too much)
-buy Galaxy S3

oh, just to rub salt in the wound, when I got home, today, after cracking the screen, my dritztronic case, with screen protector, was in my mailbox... mocking me...

Get one of these TPU cases, very minimal and offers a good grip, easy to take on and off and has a ever so slightly raised edge around the front so even if you drop it face first the screen won't impact any surfaces. I got the clear one with the curved sand blasted part. I think I paid like $9 shipped and it came within a week.

Thanks
Thanks everyone for all the sympathetic and constructive replies. Unfortunately the phone is just right over the 14day US T-mobile insurance, and my credit card does not provide any.
I never believed in cases either, always thought it kills the design of the phone, but after this incident, I may think differently. Such a shame though, it's a such a slick looking phone WITHOUT the case. I am considering writing a complaint email to HTC, not sure if it will do any good, but worth a shot.
I had also checked screen replacement online, but they are still in the $150-$200 range.

I doubt HTC is going to help you. You dropped it, and therefore are responsible. Yeah, it SUCKS.
Also, I'm surprised that this screen is Gorilla Glass, based on these reports of cracking. What's the point of Gorilla Glass if it breaks just as easy? I know it's scratchproof, but it's also supposed to be much more resistant to breaks.

LOL at the plan BUT what i've learned through all the warranty exchanges i did with my G2x is just call tmobile tell them the phones fine (physically) make up something so they send u out a new one and when they find out its cracked or water damaged or whatever they charge you $74.03 which is almost half of asurion or w.e the company is .. i cracked the F outta my g2x told them it was overheating and they sent me a new one called me in a couple days saying my screens cracked and they're charging me $74.03 just if you wanted my sources it's legit

It's what they SHOULD be doing..seriously. But to explain the process:
Call tmobile
Ask for technical support
Tell them "i don't know what's wrong with my phone, the touch screen isn't working on certain parts and it keeps freezing and calling people on its own" or make up any other non physical issue you can think of.
They'll make you trouble shoot the phone and just play dumb and stick to your "my phone isn't working" excuse
Then the technical support person will tell you "okay, we're going to send you a phone exchange and you just send back the one with issues" they'll ask you if the phone has any PHYSICAL or WATER damage... SAY NO. They'll tell you if they find any damage they will charge you ___ which as the previous poster stated is A LOT cheaper charge than anything the insurance or htc or anyone else will bill you for. You might have to pay for the shipping of the new exchange and that's it.
(and if you end up getting nervous about this and chicken out when the new phone gets to you... just send the same phone back... tmobile sends you a little white box and inside that white box is the shell of the "new" phone with a pre labeled mailing slip and a little sticker to seal the box up again...no big deal)
Make sense?

[Q] Broken Screen, but not broken glass

Just last night, my SR fell out of my pocket and onto concrete. The bezel got some road rash, but the glass is fine. The downside is that the AMOLED screen didn't take the fall so well. And here are my options:
1) If I buy this, is it possible to separate the glass from the screen to transplant into my phone?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-ATT-Samsung-Galaxy-s2-Skyrocket-Replacement-LCD-Screen-/280890366865?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41665edb91
2) Buy a new screen w/ glass and digitizer - $170
3) Add a line and buy HTC One X - $199
I personally like option 1 and 3. I love my GS2, best phone I've had so far, but I'm really ticked it broke after such a short fall! I'm currently using my N1, which is on it's last legs, so I need something kind of quick. I don't like the GS3, hence why I'd purchase the One X.
If anyone has input on option #1, please let me know. I can pull the phone apart, but I'm just not sure how the screen attaches to the digitizer.
Thanks!

Option 1 will not work as they are glued together. Option 2 or 3 are the only viable solutions. Although, you will not be happy with the OneX screen. They have a lot of variations in the production quality.

Broken phones go for tons of cash on eBay.
Just sell yours as-is with 100% honest description.
Then fork in another $200-$300 for a used/mint Skyrocket.
Better than adding a second line, IMO. Unless you know someone in your family who needs a line but doesn't need a superphone to go along with it. Otherwise you're just compounding your costs over two years and turning it into a bad deal, IMO.
I sold a Dell Streak 5 phone for $125 recently. And it wouldn't even power on. And wasn't as popular as the Skyrocket.

I had a bad feeling option 1 wouldn't work
I'm leaning towards option 3. I would miss being apart of this community, as you all have been awesome, but I just have a hard time dumping $200 into a GS2. I have a love/hate relationship with my SR's screen (blobs and lines... I finally settled on my 3rd replacement), so I can't imagine the HOX being any worse.

I already have a second line, so this would be my 3rd. lol But I don't see it as a bad option. I know at a guy at the COR store by me, so I know he can dump the data fee on the line, which means my bill will be roughly $10/mo more. In essence, if I go option 3 and buy the HOX with an additional line, it will cost me roughly $440 over 2 years vs buying a HOX out right at $550.

See if you can get a refurbished SR. I got this one for $19.95 from ATT and its perfect.

I bought a replacement screen for my SR months ago, and was worth it to me. Paid $169.00 for it and was fairly easy to do the swap. Just my experience. Hope you get back up and running soon, either way!
I thought i might add that the screen replacement comes with the bonded screen and glass digitizer already mounted in the front assembly. There are NO "void warranty" type seals inside this model. Big plus.

I recently dropped my phone for the first time. Glass cracked but amoled is just fine. I so want to just replace the glass but apparently it is extremely difficult to separate from the led. If you do do route #1 and separate them, I will buy the glass/digitizer from you for $40! I don't want to pay 160 just for the broken glass that costs 2 dollars to make!

Option 1 should not be totally ruled out. I have seen the glass only changed on an S3, which also has the glass glued to the screen, and it can be done, it's just really difficult.

I am going to try this process this weekent. I don't know if you even still need it, but I got the glass for mine from Amazon for 8.99. If I have success I will post a video link to the youtube vid I plan on making during the process. Also I will post a link to what I bought just in case anyone else has the same problem.
Update:
I failed in my excursion to replace the glass only, however, I know why this happened. The main thing to keep in mind id that the entire glass is glued to the digitizer, so the key to successful replacement is consistante heat, it would also help it you had a second pair of hands, or something to hold the device in place while you are heating and prying the glass.

I had a S II Skyrocket fall flat on the screen and the glass cracked. I searched the internet for options to replace the glass, but none were really encouraging, specially if you are like me not really into opening up the phone and un gluing the glass from the LCD. And any spare part to replace the LCD and glass was costing no less than $150. In short what i wanted to let everyone know is, i went to a AT&T Device Support/Service center not the regular retail store, just to check if they had any spare parts which could be less than $150. And lucky me!!! they replaced the entire phone for me for $100 + taxes. And just to let everyone know, this phone was a $10 refurbished phone brought from AT&T about 8-9 months back, so no warranty or anything. A plain $100 charge and i was with a new phone. I gave in my old phone with a cracked screen and got a completely new phone and the back plate and sd card from my old phone. So anyone who is ready to spend upto a 100 dollars for fixing up the screen, you might as well try this at a AT&T service center.

Dropped my Moto X Pure for the 100000x time. [TLDR: Broke :( ]

So today i have finally broke my phone I am currently phoneless until my replacement screen comes in so i will be going phoneless from here until atleast 4/20!! So i would like to describe what happened. Usually this phone is a tank and i can drop it 1 million times without it breaking until today happened. I was already having a really bad day i woke up late in the morning and almost missed my bus. i went to school looking like trash and then i end up going through the whole day with a really bad headache. I had to deal with a horrible mat teacher who gave me a (no joke) 66.60 for the marking period. half the class failed. So whatever i dealt with her then i went through my day until i was in my last period class. i was wearing gym shorts today so my pockets were really loose and i had my phone in my right pocket. I was sitting in a chair that was 2 feet off the ground and BAM my phone smashes into the floor. At this point I'm like "oh crap its done" so i flip it over and there was only a tiny crack in the top left hand corner so im like oh okay no biggy I can deal with that. That wasn't the worst of it. The screen powered on perfectly fine nothing looked wrong however only one half of the touch screen worked. Touching the screen anywhere under the power button wouldn't work. Running a DPI of 420 puts 2 essential things right in that exact area (dpi wont matter for the second thing) 1. My lock password is toast so i cant unlock my phone 2. even if i could unlock my phone (some cases i was able to unlock my phone but it works for 5 seconds then stops) the nav bar lives in that zone so im screwed. I just find it funny how a tiny drop can be so fatal and disable half a screen while i drop my phone daily from many different heights and thee wort it got was a scratch. I'm curious what are your drop stories?????
PS. if you don't see me participate in the threads I usually stalk its because I prefer to browse and post to XDA from XDA Labs. The website sucks.
I have repaired my phone and ordered the black dualpro or whatever its called case by insipio I ended up getting it for $25 should be here in a few days the company who ships it is very reliable

photos to follow within the week

Same thing happened to me. But replacing the screen on these is really easy, provided you get the screen/digitizer and frame assembly. Ijust did mine last week. Now i wont take off the case again. I have never cracked a screen until this phone. But up and going again.

Maybe if you just got black or something. Some of us customized them in Moto maker or skinned them. It would be useless to cover it up and I don't like the clear cases. Sure you have to be careful but you really should even with a case. The thing is accidents happen and a case isn't a guarantee that the phone won't break anyways.

If only they weren't so ugly for this phone. Good thing I take care of my stuff...

@WelcomeToTheSkye Sorry to hear about your phone. And your class. I was so scared I was gonna drop my MXP until I got a case. I was expecting the rubber on the back to be grippy but mine is slippery compared to my old moto E and the metal makes it worse. If you'd like a case recommendation, I have the Diztronic case and the Incipio Octane. They're both good. The octane looks better because it lets you back material show through and it adds more grip, but the headphone port cutout isn't big enough for my ATH-M50s
The Diztronic is really really nice. It just doesn't add as much grip. The buttons are also really easy to press. It's the one I usually use.

I got a pretty nice looking carbon fibre look case off eBay for less than £5 and it's saved my phone no end of times, if you go caseless and your phone breaks you only have yourself to blame

Wallet cases are also a great way to protect your phone/screen. I looked around on Amazon for a while and the only well reviewed one was the one by a company called J&D. I purchased it in turquoise and paired it with the Pleson tempered glass screen protector and the only downside is that all tempered glass protectors for this phone come up a little on the sides due to the curved screen but otherwise this is a protective and attractive combination.

PS. if you don't see me participate in the threads I usually stalk its because I prefer to browse and post to XDA from XDA Labs. The website sucks.

Make sure you head over to https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-X-Pure-Moto-X-Style/bd-p/449 before having Moto Mobility work on it. There's some disagreement over whether it's a scam or negligence, but either way you're in for a lot of trouble.
I don't use a case either because it makes the phone too large for a pocket. Too bad Moto didn't put a rim around the glass like every other Chinese and Japanese phone has. I guess they wanted the iPhone look with a minimalist white face and a cracked screen.

Same thing happened to me I stripped 6/20 of the screws... Turns out if you rip the screen off by getting a screwdriver under it you can still the stripped screws out of the back frame. It doesn't need all 20 screws it needs the one to hold the motherboard to the screen and at least 8 to keep it in place

Everybody says this so I'm betting Leno glued the screws in. It's fixable if it's into plastic. Lift the edge of the screw head with a knife tip as you turn it. Once it's out, clean the threads. Dip a thin wire into plastic welding glue (modeling and pipe glue works) and wet the inside of the screw hole. Clear out any excess glue. Let the glue dry somewhere warm for at least an hour. The screws should fit now.

Can you post a link to the replacement you got? I bought one of the higher priced ones on ebay and have had three with screen issues. The seller just wants to refund me at this point, so I need to find one that will not have light bleed, dead pixels and an unresponsive screen. Thanks in advance!

I am not recommending anyone do this and am not responsible if you mess your phone up. but this worked For my stripped screw. Replaced my screen today. One screw stopped I drilled the head of the screw out. I used a left handed bit because you drill in reverse with these and if the bit grabs it may unscrew. May but didn't. It made me very nervous but worked. And the part of the screw that was left in didn't matter since I bought the screen with the bezzle/frame. And I had a extra screw same size. It was Philips head but worked. There is a good chance if you try to drill out your stripped screws you will completely brake your phone. But there is that small chance for success?
