just bought this phone used, but the bezel is so damaged that it's hard for me to even look at the phone.
i wonder if there's an easy way of replacing the bezel? im not sure i want to transplant the entire screen on the kit i bought, since it seems like the glass breaks easily.
Buy a case, most of the decent cases cover up the besel

You might be able to find some rear housing replacement for the phone but that all depends on if you want to dissect the phone as well.

Alternative like previously mentioned is get a case for it but thats entirely your choice.
Bezel is attached to the digitizer

I read the 1st post and thought I had posted it for a second. Exact same thing happened to me. I was not going to keep it but a case will hide it and it's a $400 phone new. My wife isn't going to let me spend that much on a phone so I decided to keep it.
Glad I did so far.

I have a bezel and assembly without the glass sitting on a shelf in my office. Had a shattered screen and the replacement is a one-piece assembly as was mentioned. I removed the glass and LCD and have a good bezel with the 'touchpad' buttons still in place. Could let it go....if you can use it. Make me an offer.:angel: PM me if you're interested and I'll send a picture.
Can anyone tell me where can i find matte finish screen guard (online)..i stay in India. I found 2 on flipkart that says anti glare... Are two things same?.... And any alternatives??
Thanks in advance
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda premium
Yes, Anti Glare itself is Matt finish....
i think you can get it in the shops....
Bought one locally for 80/- Works great!!
Privacy guard reduces the viewing angle and makes it blurry to people sitting next to you where as antiglare only reduces glare. Both are matte finish though so take your pick!
Press Thanks if i helped :good:

Our phone does not have matte screen guards but yes....we can use matte screen guards of galaxy s2. The person who will apply the screen guard will just cut the extra plastic from the centre button (As our centre button is a bit wide)
I have done it too and it fits well..
Should i upload the pics??
And vikesh, the daylight problems and the oily hands problems have not been faced sine then

But you find it online not in shops as our device is not very popular.
We also have to think for those who dont have debit cards or credit cards.
Loopholes you see
It is just way of getting you SGR with matte finished screen guard.

I'm so upset I wanted to share my sob story. I have had my G3 for 13 days now (pre-ordered and picked up on launch day) and I just cracked the screen. Only about one third of the screen is responsive so the device is almost useless now.
I put a Spigen Slim Armor case on it before even walking out of Best Buy with it so it has been "protected" from day one. Spigen's slogan for the G3 Slim Armor is "Absolute Drop Protection", but that's apparently not true here. They advertise that the corners have an "air cushion", but it fell on the corner. I bent over and it fell out of my shirt pocket literally 2 feet above the floor.
LG can't give me a repair estimate without sending it in. The guy on the LG Chat said probably $150 or so, but there's no guarantee on that amount. I've seen replacement glass on Amazon for $56.99 without the LCD screen and then Repairs Universe has the glass/LCD combo only. They said that it's near impossible to replace just the glass without the LCD and not mess it up. That combo costs $175.
Does anyone have any guidance or know how much it might cost through LG? Should I even attempt to repair it myself? Any advice would be great. I'll apologize in advance if I don't reply to posts right away. I'll be having trouble using the G3 at all. I'm going to get a sim card for my backup phone tomorrow and use that in the meantime.
I've seen in the past that lg has been fair on pricing. But never give an upfront cost. I'd just send mine in. Hate to hear that happened
Thanks for the reply. I may just send it in and eat the repair cost. I'm just disappointed in the whole situation.

I thought about that, but it would cost roughly the same for LG to fix it. That would save me the worry of attempting it myself and scrying it up even more. Although it can't be too hard.

Thanks for the second recommendation on ZAGG. I remember a few years ago avoiding ZAGG because their thick screen protectors had a bad orange peel effect. I'm glad to see that you guys are happy with their glass screen protectors. I prefer a good word from fellow XDA folks over the best buy sales reps.

they are fantastic, I insure all my electronics through them, and if you get emails from them, 3-4 times a month they will send you a code for 30-50% off a purchase with them. so it's cheap and great service

I had a Spigen slim armor on my note 3 and I dropped it from about 5 ft a few times and it never hurt the phone. The case has some marks, but then again I always use tempered glass screen protectors. I think it was a fluke that your phone broke from that unless it landed in its face and something hit the screen. Good luck getting it fixed.

It works with lollipop
I suggest not to buy the case. First it works with the proximity sensor not the magnetic one. So anytime you reach for top of the screen there is a chance that proximity sensor triggers lock screen.
Second, software design is so bad. It doesn't generate good looking effect like HTC cases. Actually it is hard to guess what's displaying in the screen you just should guess. I bought one and Jay use it for a day.

It worths to try for 5$. If you don't like, you uninstall software and use case as usual.

I just picked one up. I am afraid to install the software because its some server based in China. The software should be similar to all, no? ยน
The one that I have is very similar to the ones linked here. The only difference is that the HOME key is oval vs rectangular. There is also a circle to the left of the home key when the case is closed. I do not know if that is a magnet or if that is simply there for design.
I didn't know that case was a thing, haha. I have the official LED case and it runs fine lollipop. Try this. Make sure "led indicator" or whatever they call it is on in display and then reboot. I was having certain things not show up and now asides from the fact that weather has never worked on my locks creep I'm golden.
Guys I bought this case, working decent enough, but I expected more. Cost me 10 bucks, lollipop 910t user here
