They don't sell the bezel its self alone. You have to buy a a whole new back.
Ebay would be your best option. Just search "Galaxy S4 Housing".

Isant the metal mid frame part of the back, it comes as one piece
I could be wrong

The 'metal' is attached to the mid-frame. Super easy swap. Remove battery cover, remove a few phillips #0 screws, lift out old mid-frame, replace. Ordered mine for $7 shipped (from China) on ebay.

I have found a craigslist post in my area saying there letting go there phone for $250. In the post they continue to say that only the screen is cracked. A picture they posted shows the phone on with cracks on the screen.
I have emailed them and they replied that if it doesn't sale they will just repair it, because it only cost $18 (this concerns me, why not just repair on such an expensive phone)
My questions: is it worth it?? Also what questions do you think I should ask? And if I meet them in person what should I look for?
Thanks in advanced xda folks!

My friend cracked the glass on his and the screen won't even turn on. I called the phone and it rang but the screen wouldn't light up and the digitizer wouldn't register touches. So I'd stay away.
I have seen replacement screens on eBay for $20 or so, but I believe that the digitizers are glued to the screen.
If you can't cleanly separate the two, you're probably in for the cost of a replacement combo ... about $200.
Still cheaper than a new one outright ...

I've seen replacement screens on ebay for maybe $15-20 but to replace it seems rather difficult: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_70-W9JjVjg&feature=relmfu.
It's really up to you whether it's worth it or not. If you're up for the challenge of replacing the screen (or if you think you can live with the crack, you didn't mention how bad it is) then go for it. If not, I'd probably stay away as this doesn't exactly seem like an easy fix.
Try lowering his price to 200$ then send it in to Samsung they will charge about 190$ to replace it. The digitizer is glued to glass and u won't be able to separate and put on new glass.

If you can talk him down some and just pay Sammy... Most definitely.

It may not be broken but its all one unit.. my guess is they already know this or they would have gotten it fixed themselves
Replacement screens are about 18-20 but replacing them is very difficult because of the adhesive that bonds them... Dont't buy it.. you would have to buy a new bezel with the screen and digitizer attatched to it. about 200-250 itself..A shop around me does it but they said it would be 300 plus labor..
If you can get it at a decent price and can replace the screen cheaply then i would say go for it.

Where did u get that quote I have a broken gs3 and best option is Samsung 180 shipped and returned. OP did the phone need bezel replaced? Here is my damaged phone not one scratch on bezel landed perfectly flat and the SGP case doesn't offer much protection over the screen its almost flush. If it was under or roughly 160-180 plus 180 screen replacement sub 400 gs3 good price.

I live in the Twin cities area of Minnesota... Its a local shop that does all kinds of phones.. But that's what they quoted me.. since it was a such a new phone
I bought a flip cover, but it doesn't go all the way, and doesn't completely close. I removed it, and installed it again but that didn't solve it. Is it meant to be like this? I thought that it was supposed to snap magnetically and fully cover the screen
I have also installed a zagg screen protector installed, but I don't think that that should cause a problem like this. Is this a case of faulty design, or misinformed consumer? Pic included below.
I had the regular one and was not impressed. Did about the same...
Too much money for such a poor performer...
Yeah same issue here.
I am hoping the OtterBox for the S4 is going to be out within 2 weeks. If so, I'll return the S view cover for a refund and get the otterbox
The S-View cover DOES NOT magnetically close. Nor does the regular flip cover.
This is by design.

I didn't expect it to be magnetic, but if I lay my S4 down on a flat surface the cover should go down all the way. Mine stays open about 1/2" and doesn't fully close unless I hold it closed...

Wow, this case was like 60 bucks. This is just horrible design, which is a shame because I was looking forward to it. Back to ATT this cover goes -_-. Now to look for another case.
glad i opted ut of the original and bought a knock off from aliexpress for 8 bucks
It s just new, set it facing down for a little bit for it to set in.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk HD
Yeah I feel it should be magnetic, its 70 bucks for ****'s sake. But like the post above me said, it might just need to break in or be set face down for a while

Tax? Either way $59 doesn't sound any better for a case that doesn't stay shut on it's own, I wouldn't even pay $39.

I think you both got taken as I bought my s-view cover from a Smartone (mobile network operator) store here in Hong Kong for USD$29 yesterday. God knows why it's so expensive in the UK and US!!! It's a nice cover but definitely not worth $60
Yeah and there are $8 knock offs on Amazon already.

over a few weeks, it will loosen up and sit much tighter on the screen......but it still wont stay shut in the even of a fall...
I ordered this case from Amazon, but it must be coming on the slow train, because it's taking forever to arrive. I like that it has the s view option, but still protects the phone better than the official case. Hopefully it won't be a piece of junk.

Mine closes flat and did as soon as I installed it, but others I know at the same event would not stay shut.
I tried this out on my phone yesterday at Best Buy and I didn't like it at all. The fitment felt off for me. It was kinda nifty, though.

Mine was 5 bucks but for a note!
CLOSES TOO!
LMBO!
why this is so funny I do not know...pass the meds!
SENT BY REVERSED ENGINEERED ALIEN TECHNOLOGY.........
Mine doesn't sit flat either. I'm gonna keep it a few days on it's face to see if it loosens up a bit. I only paid $20 for the official one so even if I don't like it it's not a huge loss.
now my nexus 4 back cover is broken , i saw 2 covers replacement.

What are the difference?
Go with neither
Neither is good !!
Go with this one guaranteed and including all the parts of The original !!
Just Unscrew, Replace, Rescrew, DONE !!

I wish somebody would just make a plastic back cover. It would be much more durable.

I agree that you should spend the extra $30 and get a complete unit but to answer your question the first one is the back cover and the second one looks to be just the glass that would sit inside the frame.

Yeah I'm surprised this hasn't come about, though I assume it's because of the complexity inherent in swapping the back.
Hi! I buy this bumper on ebay, and I think is very good choice for galaxy s4. Here the link : http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=300908845468
Only thing is the metallic frame must to slide on protector or plastic, to noot damage the screen
Neat! I wish Taurus would make aluminum bumpers for the S4 ,I loved mine for the s2,..only needed that bumper , screw it on you could take the back battery cover off with the case still on,...made it so easy to switch batteries,..and was very sturdy
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
The good thing on this, is the price. Taurus maybe is better but much more expensive and more bulky. No screws on this, only slide frame
So want this but with a flip down cover to match the old s2 cover...
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Does it fit tight?
Yes, it has rubber inside.
Curious about signal drop with this on. It plagues other aluminum cases and battery covers.
Sent from my SGS4. Go Blue!! Buck the Fuc keyes!!
Is just a bumper. No drop the signal. With battery cover drops.
Update : missing the hole for the microphone on top.. I made it right now. 3mm drill.
though being on work I'm unable to go with the link given here . but surely will catch up it at night .. and if seems suitable it'll get a deal from me..
There more sellers on ebay with this bumper. This is chipper, and is come with normal screen protector and stylus. Outside off eBay on different sites, cost 29€..Oo..and there more different models on ebay also. From China directly is 8€ only
I'm gonna order one too, cheapest I found so far: $6.57 eBay
I dont like the sliding connector thing... the videos ive seen show the slider being kinda loose. I might get one that screws together instead.

here you go sir http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2013...er-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-I9500/952873724.html
Wat about this :
I would recommend going with a bumper that takes screws instead of the slide on bezel. The slide on bezel tends to slide off and get things caught in it.

Dangit... I had made up my mind not to get a bumper and to get the NEO.... now I might have to get that thing.
Anyone know where I can get either a genuine Samsung wireless charging cover, or at least one that doesn't have the lump in it from the contract points?
Nobody?

got mine on amazon. I even went to a samsung store in korea while I was there on vacation and they didn't have any. they're almost always out of stock on amazon though.
Yeah I've noticed that, it's crazy. All I can find genuine is the flip ones.

I went with the fonesalesman slim power card 0.5mm qi receiver. Very slight hump from it with the stock back. Used for over a year now without issue.
i got this one works good for me
http://www.ebay.com/itm/31152501220...49&var=610526703689&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I bought a card that claimed to be super slim and it left a huge bump. So I figured if I bought a 3rd party battery cover it's be at least no bump. But it was just cheap plastic with the card glued to it, still a big bump. I'd rather just find a genuine one.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
I bought the genuine one when the phone came out, and it died a month out of warranty. Been using the flip version since, but all 4 of my batteries are getting flaky. Note 7 shows up Monday.
