Vynil Skin for Omnia 7

Found a great website for skins http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/Samsung_Omnia_7
Theres alot of pre set artistic skins and if you cant find what you like you can create your own custom one on the website
I live in Ireland and it took two weeks to get it from the USA. Though you can opt in for express delivery that costs more
The skin is very nice and HQ. Solves the lack of grip on the handset and protects from scratches So pretty happy that i can ditch my sillicon case that adds on thickness

Awesome mate! where'd you get it?

Address above www.gelaskins.com

These look great , can you describe how they fit please ? (can't work out exactly what they are)
Cheers

They come on a sheet of vynil with
Like a template. Its like applying a screen protector for the rest of the phone. It takes a bit to get right
Just dont push it down as soon as you apply the vynil cause you will need to take it off and reapply to make it straight and stretch to cover up all the places correctly (i can guarantee that) Took me 5 mins and i was taking it easy

Sounds great . I bought a slightly slidy case like another in this forum which is good but this sounds much better . As long as it helps with the grip issue

Yeah since it doesnt increase the size of the phone dramatically like a plastic case would

Aye that's the attraction for me , ordered the "mod" one

I hate plastic cases, they make a high end phone look cheap, I always get gelaskins for my devices. This is mine:

Mine arrived today , will fit it later on or tomorrow

FANTASTIC! I want order immediately two.

@evolutionqy7
your gelaskins provides a screen protector or front cover should be mounted over my current screen protector?

No screen protector
Id say just put it over the actual skin

My screen protector covers the whole face of the phone, so I put the skin over it.

Could you please link this Xbox case? I can not find it on their homepage

I made it myself. Just found an Xbox Logo on bing and moved it into their custom skin wrapping app on the website Its easy wasnt a fan of the skins they had.

Thanks alot, I´ll try it

My new skin from gelaskins... made by myself

That looks so cool I need to get me one of those Eboy ones

I order one yesterday.
But i have a question, if you put a screen protector and the this skin, the butons responde good???
2 plastic over the butons maybe are excesive, ¿?
Other method is cut the screen protector and adjust to fit with the screen, i will try it

[Q] Centimeter sized scratch in the middle

Today was the first day that I really cleaned my screen on transformer. I have had for three weeks and am very careful with it. Today I noticed a centimeter sized scratch in the middle. Here is my question. I am a hella lot rougher with my droidx and it never gotten a scratch on the screen. The droid x I have now is about 6 months old still nothing. Aren't they supposed to have the same screen. Gorilla glass I think. Did anyone else notice a scratch on theirs? I can't return it because I got it from Tiger Direct. Honestly it ins't a big deal I am just picky. I do have one coming from amazon this week though. Hmm...

Anyone else?

I bet its not a scratch, as I've thought the same thing before. Take your nail and put it over a microfiber cloth, then try to scratch it off. I bet its build up

If it is a scratch, you need to think about removing your Mr. T gold bling jewellery before you use your tablet. Diamonds, etc don't play nice with gorilla glass.

If you only noticed the scratch AFTER you had cleaned the screen, could be that you scratched it with the cleaning cloth.

I don't wear jewelry.
It's really a scratch too. I tried scraping it off with my finger nail. I honestly have no clue how I got it. Maybe they don't use as thick as screen as my droid x. I really baby my transformer and bam a scratch.

I doubt it. I actually used wipes made for electronics. I meant as in its the first time i got rid of my finger prints.

I also had a tiny scratch in the center of mine that I did not notice until I turned it off and cleaned it. Everything else came off the screen. It also was in the middle of the screen. Mine was only a day old, so I called BJ's Wholesale and returned it. I wouldn't have cared if it was anywhere else on the screen. It was so small it was hard to tell if it was a scratch or possibly an imperfection under the screen. I am hoping my next one won't have the same thing.

See, to those people who say "Gorilla Glass doesn't scratch"!
Still need a screen protector.

I was a firm believer of that because my droid x never had a scratch.
So i'm guessing no but can this be covered under asus' warranty?

Probably not because it isn't a manufacturing defect.

Didn't think so.. Still might try. The body cracks like when I hold it. I noticed it from using it in the sun. It heated up and got loose. I don't know if you know what I mean but it is like it melted the glue.

Digitizer and back covery replacement parts

Hey guys,
Just in case you need to replace your digitizer (glass) or back battery cover you can get them here: digitizer is $68.99 and the back battery cover is $39.99
http://cnn.cn/shop/sensation-digitizer-p-11676.html
http://cnn.cn/shop/sensation-housing-p-12347.html

Nice find! It's pretty nice that a new "battery cover" refreshes the entire phone body.

I'm waiting for some custom backings since it is basically the whole body. I'm thinking dark red on the metal and the black plastic used in the bottom half for both
EDIT: Crude Photoshop of what I want

That's actually pretty sweet. I burgundy/wine is one of my favorite colors I think I would go for that color or the all black one with chrome/silver middle piece like the one in the other thread

Looks good flippy I wouldnt mind that color or in white

Poor me. I just dropped my Sensation and the glass shattered. Is there any experience with this only shop in terms of speed of shipping and reliability?
Does anyone know if it's do-able to replace the screen by yourself?

Oh man, really feel for you. Have a look on Desire forums for tutorial, obviously it's going to be different, but at least it'll give you some idea. It is doable.

Thanks man. I'll have a look on the Desire forum, I owned one before so I'm kinda familiar there.
I'll also browse youtube for Desire digitizer replacements.

New sources...
It would be sweet to modify a back cover...I found this on Amazon for the back cover and front bezel but the prices are pretty expensive...

Very nice find.

How hard is it to fit the digitizer? I dropped mine today and it's shattered - very disappointed, the first time I've dropped a phone in two years and this happens.

hjkl;' why no delete?

Found the digitizer on eBay for $30 delivered

Been dealing with cnn.cn since my Sony Ericsson days. Closest thing to OEM IMO sans pricing lol.
I got a digitizer for a sony ericsson phone years ago and it's spot on, just my error in putting that crap back without the proper adhesive was my issue lol.
They didn't have installation instructions at all, you have to go online to see if anyone has done it yet and do a write up in a forum or youtube, not sure if that changed though.

Hey man ! sorry for bringing up an old thread, Did you get the digitizer of ebay ? What was / is it like, Have you fitted it ?
Can you notice thats its an after-market product or is it exactly the same ?
Got my misses the sensation 2 weeks ago, She dropped it today and smashed the screen, The phone is still useable, its just the outer glass is shattered. And i am thinking of fixing it myself on the cheap.
She complains all the time about wanting a nice new phone. I get her one and she thinks its a bouncy ball !!

When I dropped my HD2 a while back, I sent it to someone to have it fixed, for a little over $80 USD. They did a splendid job and return shipping was free, although I had to ship it to them. Took them 1 day to fix, and I got my phone back in 2 days.

Replacing cracked screen

So I just got the S3 like 2 days ago.. i told myself i wouldnt really take it out the house til I got some protection for it but figured hanging around the house with it wouldnt be bad .. I ordered a rubber skin for it 2 days ago and waiting for it in shipping. Cousin comes over today for a quick visit today than leaves. I took the phone outside with me in my pocket, not thinking about the jersey shorts I was wearing (really slick material) I crouch to pet my dog and it slides out my pocket and hits the ground.. just a bit of the bottom right corner screen is cracked, i think it wouldnt be too noticeable with the case (once that arrives) but it is annoying to have this done to a new phone. I see they have replacement screens on ebay, so Im thinking of just ordering one there. Irony was that I was just telling my cousin he should get a case for his iphone for these very incidents.
My S3 is pebble blue, so this gives me the chance to convert it to white if I want huh. Ive done stuff before like taking my zune mp3 player apart to swap a bigger battery in it, and always mess with computers (modded my laptop). Question is how difficult will it be to swap the screen plate?

Ouch Idk if you can just remove the front panel but you might need to mess with the lcd panel. I would look up a video on youtube.

If it is functional I would say wait. The more use you get out of it, the more other parts of the screen will get stressed, could break. The later you replace it, the better the value for you. Again, only if it works and you aren't too annoyed at the appearance. If you do go for it, maybe this might help:

Thanks for the replies, I am researching it now.. I could probably live with it, once the rubber case is here It would cover up the edges of it and it doesnt go into the actual screen too much. But it is annoying ,
But i see alot of replacement glass on ebay that dont have the lcd screen with it , I wonder how the heck are they selling those if from what Im reading its all one piece with the lcd and touchpad.

They probably mold it themselves. cheap knock off's

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5IPaCPaY_0
his vid really makes it look possible since when he got the glass/digitizer off, the screen was separate , but i cant tell if the lcd got damaged when he took the digitizer off since he used a screwdriver and didnt put much care into it since he said was already broken.

That looks so sketchy and unprofessional. It scares me.

i know the phone is fairly new so replacing just the glass/digitizer seems like no one on the net has experience documented replacing just that.

If you think you can separate lcd from front glass and glue with LOCA it back - then why not

I'm not gonna lie, it looks way Harder than I thought. But still not looks impossible, so my main question is do you think the lens I've send the link will be fine ? Or would be problems about touching sensivity ?
Cool story bro

I would avoid doing so. I've yet to hear from a single person who had succesfully done so and didn't have some type of issue afterwards. Either the screen sticks out a bit and moves due to double sided tape used, or the LCD or some other component breaks when using the special resin/glue needed to make it fit correctly, back light bleeding through spots, etc. etc.
It's basically a nightmare and the only practical way to replace the glass is to replace the whole LCD assembly. Not something I would do for scratches.
Just get a screen protector (maybe glass) and call it a day.

Well, As I said before, this looks way harder than I thought.
So thanks for detailed information my friend.
I'm not gonna risk whole my screen for 2 tiny scratches.
Thanks again
