Can anyone once and for all provide links to one or more store that sells genuine HTC parts which they can vouch for? Does that even exist? Preferably a EU store or at least one that ships worldwide at not-so-prohibitive shipping rates.
There are a lot of sites out there and a lot thrown around in these forums but there always seems to be some bad experience with them or some people that are skeptical about the "genuinity" of even the advertised pictures. (I wish there could be an "HTC General" forum with sticky for reliable parts resellers)
In my case I just need a genuine digitizer for my Sensation whose touchscreen I've shattered the hell out off, to the point that some tiny bits are falling off, leaving the LCD exposed

Sounds about right
But how would I go about contacting/ordering from them? And will I get abused on the product cost in similar proportions as if I sent them the phone for repair?
Thanks

I have PHP plan wondering how much it cost to fix the screen and are their any cheaper places. I check T-Mobile can't find it and I never used a third party. Has anyone used any other company than T-Mobile? Thank you for your time and all help appreciated

PHP is insurance. They send you a new device, not repair yours. I dont remember the exact pricing, but i think its about $120.
Damn I rather just have the screen repaired oh well. Thanks time call them any idea how long it takes

Edit: After thinking about it, you would need the LCD not the touch. I did not see any but if you look a bit harder then I did you may find them. But let us know what you do.

I talked to one of the reps and they said the only way they could change your color is if your original color is out of stock /:
Idk I know standard insurance with a defective product you have to send in the older model. Idk about going through asurion if I pay $130 they should send a whole new phone.

I've ordered one of these and the cost came to around £15 once converted.
Was ordered from: mugen-power-batteries.com/htc-sensation-usb-desktop-cradle-with-2nd-battery-slot.html
Free delivery to the UK and some positive reviews on the company, I'll be honest there was little reviews so they could be fake.. but for £15 I will take the risk and await its arrival. May be a while as they expect to get it in on the 22nd July.
If the older docks for HTC phones are any indication I'd guess the price to be around $32
Here is there webstore

I emailed. Will let you know what they say. Phantom skins add no bulk at all to the phone right?

I wouldn't claim no bulk. Its a layer of film about as thick as two screen protectors.

Don't know about the extra battery slot, I never carry 2 batteries but I did email them about having a skin on and here's their response, "Dear Aaron,
Sorry to let you know that HTC Sensation usb cradle will not fit if you put the silicone case on the phone!
Kindly noted!"
Now, the part of their reply that says SILICONE CASE is what throws me off. I asked about a skin and even provided a link for the skinomi skin because that is what I have. I'm hoping they misunderstood and it will fit. Either way, I would rather have this dock than my skin so I'm ordering one.
Anyone get one of these yet? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the one with the extra battery charger.....I just wish it had hdmi out...and maybe audio out too.

Phantom Skinz is very minimal (less than 1mm in thickness), so I am sure you will be fine.

Slim pickens at 2 stores, only have the Body Glove case. So I'm waiting on them to get more...
Don't dare waste this on a $30 case... get a bluetooth headset or something else big ticket!!! If I pick up the new Jawbone headset for $60 I could easily sell it on ebay for $100 in my paypal. How many cases could you buy with that?
I just returned home with the docking station for my G-Slate. I would never have purchased it for $70 but couldn't pass on it for $35. I saw a Sensation case there that is also a 1500mah Battery. It seemed pretty nice, even if thick, so it might be worth taking a look for some of you. Mine lasts too long to justify the battery at this point but I'll go back if I change my mind.

Look forward to the reply

yes HTC will send you a free one.
about the number, i would give it to you but id rather you search for it.

What a douche. It took you more time and board space to give a smart-ass answer than to just give him/her the number. What if you walk up to someone on the street and asked for the time, only for them to tell you "Well, I would give it to you, but I would rather you search for it, since it is so easy to find." I would probably call you a dickhead and tell you I did search for it, but apparently people, and the interaction that goes along with it, are not sources of information anymore and are no good for society.
You could have just not gave him the number and just the information about the back cover, but instead you decided to be a douche. Think about it.
Here you go, try this number in the UK:
+44-845-890-0079

My situation wad worse .. dropped it and broke the screen along with the back casing. I sent it back in to get the screen replaced (160) and also ask for a replacement casing but they said only if I can proof that there is something wrong with the original (non-cosmetic issues only). So I told them wifi death grip causes by the casing .. a week later I received the new case .. of course this was tmous htc .. not sure if they will give you one in uk

how about you use some common sense? looking up numbers online is pretty easy, asking here would take more time than searching for the number, and it only makes sense that when you go to HTC website the number will be there.
I ddnt want to sound like a douche but dude, this type of question is pretty easy to find an answer if you just look

woah... thanks, aha. to be honest i find that really funny.
I just got 2 small questions. Couldn't find any topics about it in the forum.
I cracked my screen of my sensation. The LCD is fine but the digitizer is totally broke.
The local telephone repairman asked 180 euro's for it. He said he won't be able to just replace the digitizer but that he had to replace the lcd too. I found that a bit strange since I can buy a single digitizer for 60 euros online. I'm quite handy with stuff so I could do it myself.
Today I called HTC in the Netherlands to ask what they would ask for it. They said they couldn't give me a price for the repair.
Do any of you know how much it will cost, or at least give me a close indication? Preferably a dutch person because prices may be different in other countries.
And what do you suggest I choose?
Thanks in advance guys!

Did it crack by it self? Or due to fall? If it was not your mistake, why not ask for warranty?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
It fell when I was taking it out of my pocket when biking to school. So I don't think warranty will help here
Why not just say you dropped it in your house? kitchen floor maybe?
In the UK you could claim accidental damage from household insurance and you'd just have to pay your excess, typically £50
Not that I am advocating such action (telling lies) but it has worked for me in the past ;P
Doesn't work that easily here. You got an idea about the price HTC would ask for replacing the digitizer?
