anywhere to get the original front/side part of the case?

unfortunately, i have dropped my phone on the ground a couple of times, and now, the lighter grey part (front and side) are full of dents and scratches. As you can see in the pictures below.
i had a lot of searches, but couldn't manage to find a replace original case on the web. Does anyone know if I can get one somewhere?

I called HTC at 1-888-231-4736 and ordered the part for $23.99 shipped via Fedex Ground (3-5 business days). A live person answered the phone after 2-3 rings. Ordering directly from HTC is cheaper than htcpedia.com

Here is the direct line for the Nexus One support line:
1-888-216-4736
That should save you a few minutes. Also was able to get a free sleeve and battery cover. They are shipping out tomorrow apparently. My guess is the folks that said it cost money may have called and gotten thier freebie already.

Could ask this seller:

..wonder if you could reverse engineer this:

Hope this helps!

I can tell you the construction of the dummy phone for the N1 isn't at all like the actual phone - no useful parts at all.

Sorry to bump an old thread but I am also looking for this part. Everyone seems to sell every part except this one everywhere I look. I found a possible match here globaldirectparts.com/Google-Nexus-One-Replacement-Repair-Parts-s/6177.htm but it's a minimun order of 2 and there is no picture so I'm not even sure if iits the right part. You guys know of anywhere to get this part without ordering a whole housing set?
Thanks!

You can get them from eBay, although they are from Hong Kong and will likely take some time to arrive. The site you mentioned has the same part under Front housing. Basically the front housing is the metal part of the Nexus one. All other parts slide out and are placed inside the metal housing, it's not the easiest or quickest of tasks (Especially if you've never had your Nexus one open) but if you take it slow and careful you shouldn't run into any problems.
Oh and I didn't mean to hit thanks

You're more than welcome!
Yeah, I have been searching ebay for a few days now and all I can find are the full housing sets (battery cover + Bottom cover + Chassis + Front/Side) or battery door and bottom cover. I bought the phone second hand and everything is in good shape except the front housing. I thought I would just live with it but now I just find all all the chips really annoying.
And I thought the site I linked was probably the right part but ordering two is pointless unless I sell the other on ebay I guess.
Not worried about taking the phone apart, looked at the fixia page and it looks pretty straightforward.

Ebay most definitely

[Q] Bezel around the screen - replacement??

Hi
I have damaged the metallic black bezel around the screen at a few places (especially the part above the micro usb port). I guess it is called Faceplate.
What I wanted to know is if I can replace this part somehow. If I look at the region under the screen after opening the slider, it appears as if it can come off.
If it is possible to replace it, does anyone know where can I buy one of these?? I have googled but could not find anything.

I have found only a full cover. Try searching milestone 2 housing on eBay.
Or here is the link:

Thanks dude. Now I have to find someone who can deliver it to India. BTW are you sure Droid 2 is physically exactly same as Milestone 2. They do appear same. Just wanted to know if someone has used this cover etc. Plus anything on the quality??

I've ordered one from the link above and I should receive it in the next 7-14 days so I'll let you know how I go but I'm 100% confident that the physical housing between the MS2 and D2 are identical.

I have received the housing (from the eBay link above) and fitted it last night. The case is a Verizon stamped unit and is 100% perfect, next time I think I'll just live with the worn look. Very fiddly job but does give you an appreciation of the engineering ... They use a lot of adhesive, pita.

Well I have managed to knick the display input cable and now have a one centimetre row smack in the middle of the screen that won't respond to touch. My fault, I thought I'd taken care to ensure no damage to some of these fragile cables but alas no
So, just ordered a SGII Stick that where the sun doesn't shine Motorola! Yeah, I know you couldn't care less but I feel better

Well thanks for the info. I won't have the luxury of buying a new one if I ruin my MS2 so I guess I'll stick with a little wear and tear. BTW nice buy!!

Or just take it to your nearest phone repair shop and they'll sort it out. =D

How does the housing attach to the digitizer/glass? Because the tutorial I found on iFixit didn't detach the digitizer from the housing.
My housing cracked badly, I "fixed" a corner with superglue, but I think it permeated through the digitizer, so there's a strip in the left side (the one with the MENU button) which is insensitive. Another drop and the whole top part fell off and I don't intend to glue this one. Probably I'll buy a new front panel and a new digitizer, but I need to know if I'll be able to attach them at home or if I'll need some adhesive (yuck).
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Anyone have to replace their LCD screen?

Mine shattered today and I need to replace it. Just wondering if anyone has a suggestion on what site to use to get a new one and how easy/hard it is.

They are expensive I paid 50 for mine . Your best bet is ebay

I replaced mine, pretty easy. You can check out youtube for video tutorials, and yeah, the digitizer is pretty pricey. Just make sure you have some adhesive available and take your time.

I will be needing to replace mine. The part should arrive soon, this is what I ordered;
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005QXQXYI/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
It comes with a new bezel attached and with power/volume buttons pre-assembled. Rather nifty if I do say so myself.

That's a very handy assembly. I spent probably 2 hours getting the tape in all the right places to put it together.

Digitizer
I had to repace one on the G2x I got off ebay awhile back. I would suggest that you check out the youtube video on disassembly. You have to be careful when you get to the part where you lift out the motherboard. You have to lift up the old digitizer cable connector as well as the lcd screen will be somewhat stuck to a gasket around the face. Once you get past that it should go fine. The best price for a digitizer is on ebay, just make sure you get the one with the frame. Good luck.

Also make sure you buy one with adhesive on the frame cause mine didn't have it and its getting a hole bunch of dust specs

Send it to LG. Factory tech replacement with original part for around $70.00. If I had that option that is the route I would go.

It's very simple to return the phone to stock.

I just replaced my wife's digitizer. I got the white one from California on ebay. Simple if you are good with your hands. Take your time, I glued the new digitizer cause that's how lg did it. Works flawlessly.

I don't know their actual stance on this, but I don't think they should care/find out that it's rooted.
#1 if you are paying for their service, it's not a warranty issue.
#2 why would they even need to poke around in your phone to replace the screen?

[Q] Nexus 5 broken LCD

Managed to crack my Nexus 5 (red) LCD.
Any reliable supplier for a new one?
I've disassembled the broken one from the frame and just need the lcd+touch+bezel "glued" set.
(Well initially I just had broke the outter glass and the digitizer/LCD were working fine, until I tried to remove the broken Glass and managed to crack the LCD at 75% of the work done )

Contact lg

@dicecuber
LG won't sell spare parts
@shri_chanakya
Issue on ebay is most claim to be original LCD+digitizer set, but aren't, ending up being of lower quality...
So I was looking for a reliable source.

Actually I took a good look at their product and it seems OEM and not Original.
Ended up ordering from here:

When it comes to parts I always get them off Amazon. I go by reviews and price comparison. If it's cheap it's fake, IMO. I've had a back and battery, both genuine and very happy with them, bought this way, but no screen, thank God. They have them

Cracked Screen...where to buy

Cracked the screen. Need to replace with a screen+digitizer+frame. Would anyone here have a suggestion as to where to buy, with quality before cost. Can find many cheap units on ebay/Amazon, but want to fix it right the first time. Thanks

would hesitate to trust other sellers on amazon & ebay due to possible cheap quality generic components like this replacement screen I got for my htc one x. it ended up being some sloppy glue job of the digitizer to the screen that I didn't notice until after I installed it.

I repair professionally and I have never had any issues with parts from ebay. Although I do make sure they have lots of positive reviews.
