unfortunately I've dropped my beloved g2x quite a few times hence the casing and silver bevel are all scratched up....can the casing and bevel be purchased replaced with an original or after market like some other phones???
just put a case on it and hide it.....why go through the trouble of messing up your phone even more?
You can send it to LG service in the USA. A complete case changeover including front glass digitizer will be probably be between $100 and $150. Many people have reported they will replace the entire front piece with glass digitizer for $70.00.
Just tell T-Mobile that you're having issues with the phone such as Screen of Death, GPS not locking, and Random shutdowns.

Does the original front cover contain the digitized too? My son scratched the front cover and I asked the service center what they would charge to change it and their quote was anywhere between 150-300 usd!!!
I don't think it does include the digitiser as I think the screen is in three parts: The casing, digitiser, and AMOLED/SLCD screen.
My guess is HTC will replace the digitiser too hence the price. I paid £130 for new casing on my phone after I dropped it after 4 days. I was not pleased and I got it back with dust under the screen, sent it back and it came back with a scratch. It's all sorted now thankfully.
I scratched up my screen (its really a small scratch but annoys me that its there), so now I plan on replacing it.
I've replace digitizers for friends phones before but the one thing I never thought about is whether or not these replacement, remanufactured digitizers are made using same gorilla glass that the original ones are made of. I'm sure they aren't OEM even though most of them say they are.
I would hate to replace my outside glass for one less durable because of one annoying blemish.
I have my eyes on this one:

Does anyone have a replaced digitizer and have any complaints about their screen scratching up easily?

I bought a day one Sensation I've Dropped it from a 8foot Ladder.. screen never Scratched or Broken.. I had to get it Replaced because Dust got behind the Screen and now I phoned phone from about a foot off ground and it cracked.. I think they are even using normal glass again.. BS... Stick with Gorilla Glass
That really doesn't mean anything to be fair, drops are a crap shoot, there are about a million different ways a phone can hit the deck. Some survivable, some not, regardless of height.
its all the same, more or less.
No two panels will be the same, even if their both from HTC. Some might have undetectable imperfections that could have a nice place for a break to start.
I was somewhat unlucky with my first digitizer. It might have had an imperfection along the edge that allowed it to break
Real HTC glass: 3 foot drop - broken
Glass from amazon: 6 foot drop - still working
Anyone know a good site to purchase a glass replacement. I found on Amazon but it was shipping from Hong Kong, dont want to wait 3-4 weeks to find out its cheap glass.
Hello,
I managed to drop my phone from not even 10cm(Gosh this thing is Slippy and fragile as F**k) on concrete and the Glass(not the Display!) broke.
So i was searching on the internet for glass replacement and found one on ebay,but i have also heard that it is quite difficult to remove the glass withou damaging the Display/Touchscreen.
If someone knows if it´s possible or if i need a whole new screen i would appreciate it.
Have Samsung replaced it for you. Bring your S6 back to them for repair. It will remove glass compatibility and job quality problems.
Mine was not even a week old and it fell from my fking pocket onto asphalt/road and part of the screen cracked. It's the damn bulging rounded glass on the sides which make the phone so fragile compared to, say, an S4 which had flat screen!
The retailer does not cover broken glass and was asking 200+ dollars to repair!!
Bought a tempered glass for $16 and it's kinda usable although painful to look at now. And the fking dents on the sides of the aluminum case make it a more painful experience considering I invested all my money on the phone and was waiting to buy a cover for it. Wished I bought the $50 clear view cover when I got the S6
The only place in my area that can replace stuff like this is my provider vodafone.
But i dont really want to spend 200€ to have my Display replaced.
Bite the bullet and have the glass replaced then buy a protective case.
It is difficult to replace only the glass for your s6. I suggest getting a Samsung Galaxy s6 screen replacement with digitizer.
Bump..
How much is this front glass worth? A place here in Grand Rapids wants $275. See my g920p sceen isnt cracked but got smashed in a bit and glass under it is crushed there isnt any cracks in the top layer. But few glass chips floating around the front lens. The Phone did started seperating and I put a drop of glue on edge of screen and frame and held it in and its a still truckn. It works fine and I do got insurance with 200$ deductible for a refurbished phone from Phone Claim. Hey any idea how long that takes?. Replace the phone or is there another option out there to get it fixed?? I dont have any of those heating tools and not gonna make this my first replacment. Now the wifes S5 I may try it for a bit of exprience get things I need when its broke.
I've just carefully removed an Ultimate Shield tempered glass shield from my S7 as it had become scratched and I was going to fit a replacement. After removal though I noticed that the screen was discoloured at the top (wasn't before removal). I checked further and realised the glass was actually delaminating from the screen itself.
I was very careful when removing the protector and didn't pull at it hard at all having installed and removed many tempered glass protectors over the years to many phones without any issue. I always look after my phones and this current one is no different.
To say I'm annoyed is an understatement as the phone is less than six months old. I bought the phone off ebay (apparently it was an unwanted upgrade from Vodafone). The screen itself gained a small scratch the first day I got it such is the fragility of the screen on this phone. I've seen many others with similar issues with this Gorilla glass fitted to the S7, hence why I bought the Ultimate Shield.
The phone obviously needs repairing but I don't know what's the best route to take. I'd really appreciate some guidance here as to where I stand with warranty and whether going into my local service centre (UK) will get me anywhere and if not, what's my best course of action is.
You could try contacting the screen protector company and tell them what their product did to damage your phone, and would they be willing to help/pay for repair costs
Or contact Samsung directly (Twitter seems to be best) and tell them that somehow removing a screen protector gently has damaged the screen, would it be covered under warranty as the phone is under 12 months old, and applying and removing screen protectors does not void warranty

Thanks for uploading the pictures and if i was you i would send it for warranty because this shouldn't be normal.
My rog phone screen just broke ,no harsh impact or drop,first time i had a phone cracking like that for no reason. Case since day one ,tempered glass screen protector and i carry the phone in a pouch. The screen protector had zero damage,the top layer of the glass is fine only the digitizer seems damaged and upon further inspection it seems the black finish don't last .Like i said it was in a case since day one and there several spot where the paint is just gone,it smooth not pitted, just seems the coating was not baked or applied properly. I ordered a replacement screen and will attemp to repair it myself as soon i recieve it,will report back if im successful or not with the repair.
Its not to complain against the device,just want to warm people to be extra careful with this one,maybe i just got unlucky considering these are first gen product

Thanks look like i will return on the phone and hope for some result.
The material quality of this phone is garbage, the front and back is all fragile glass while the frame is made out of silver aluminium with black color, after 1/2 year the phone starts to lose the black color coat and silver edges start to bleed out, even when using a case, something that i never had with my previous very high-quality Motorola phones, HTC produced the exact same ****. Disappointing for a 800€ device.
