Hello, I smashed my N5 screen and needed a new screen + frame to replace it , there are many retailers on-line that sell them but was not sure about their quality so was wondering if anyone out there could recommend me one.
Price is not that much of an issue I just want one that is official or as good as the official.
PS: I live in the UK.

Just pick a seller on Amazon with a 95% + rating
Having bought one from amazon and one from eBay, I'd say its not worth it. Both were about $120. One had severe bleed and later got washed out, the other had glossy black sides and no adhesive. Ended up sending to LG and it came back like new for about $150.

i need a screen protector for my phone. however the makes i thought that were the best dont seem to be.
Alot of people including myself havnt been very happy with martin fields SP's lately, and ive heard mixed reviews about the zagg ones.
so what would you lot reccomend for the desire on a budget of around £10 ??
Thanks
I've had no issues at all with my MF protector, got it as soon as they came out (literally first batch) and haven't looked back
i'm interested to know what the official HTC P360's are like, and the ones that come with the case mate cases.
If the HTC ones are anything like the HD2 ones they'll be terrible
The problem with the official HTC ones for me was that they are exactly the same size as the screen, and I found it impossible to get it applied so that none of the edges were hanging over. This meant that air bubbles always leaked in and I just couldn't get a good fit. I bought some cheap ones of eBay which I got a much better application with.
I got mine from SuperEtrader-UK on amazon. only a couple of quid for six and they are excellent. plus they were delivered in 2 days. was so impressed that i also bought a (again cheap) case from them.
I've had the HTC one on my phone since May:

It went on perfectly and I haven't had to use the second one yet.
I have an invisibleshield from www.zagg.com, delivered in about 3 days.
i have used these on about 5 different devices
I put the zagg one on before using the phone. It went on well (front, back and button area) - but the screen one seems to have some nasty marks on it after a few days.
Thankfully zagg do free replacements under their lifetime warranty, so I'm getting a replacement sent out. It still costs $4 dollars postage though, and I have to pay to return the damaged one to somewhere in America! I guess I'd probably be cheaper buying a new one!

I've been looking around for a replacement housing for my G2, it's pretty knocked up (bought it 2nd hand), had a look at faulty used phones and official replacement housing, but both are surprisingly expensive (you wouldn't believe how much people pay for an old waterdamaged phone with an unrepairable screen and dents left right and centre.
Anyway, I've seen a full housing (minus screen/ glass) by Ecell which is (quote) "New Genuine ... For HTC Desire Z", previously it was £300ish on eBay, I've now seen it for under a tenner (still direct from Ecell).
Thing is it's black, so the use of the word "genuine" is questionable (do they mean "genuine" Ecell, or "genuine" HTC?), although in the description they say "Official HTC product". Also I've never bought anything Ecell before.
I just wanted to know if any of you guys have bought one of these replacement housings, or anything from Ecell before? Feedback would be greatly appreciated .
Best I have found is about 40$ for a full housing replacement OEM, if considered it the past but haven't been able to justify that just for aesthetics. I recently stopped using my dock and just use one of the original T-Mobile cases I fond for a few bucks (thick rubber, bulky but real nice) since then I gave up on pretty.
Never bought from ecell before so I couldn't attest to their reputation

I've seen the E-CELL product on eBay for about 10 pounds and it seems a good price for it.
However, while I'm not sure of its' quality, for that value I'd be willing to take a risk and see what's it about.
@demkantor Thanks, according to Google $40 = £25, and official HTC housing goes for around £30, which is absurd 'cause that's well over half of what I paid for my G2. I don't fancy a case, the Vision is already thick and heavy without one (can you even use the keyboard with a case on? )
@geojoking Yep, that's the one I found, previously £300 (wtf?!). Unless anyone highly cautions against Ecell I might go for it, besides as you say it is less than £10 so probably worth the risk. Anyway, if I do get it I can post a review here !
you can slide it fine, i would prefer not to use one but im running low on spare phones at the moment and i dont mind the bulk, but yes definitely bulkier!
i believe the original leaked photos of the g2/dz were of a black model or at least real dark grey. supposedly there is some mystic black version that is near impossible to get a hold of with a different bootloader then all the others, it had a different name but fell under the vision still i believe... cant remember much about it
so that would mean its possible these are genuine and being they were once 300 that may mean that ecell had them since the very beginning as when phones first come out parts like this tend to cost more than a new phone! they could have gotten the original casting and colors prerelease to the public... just a thought
either way for that price go for it, if it turns out not to fit not a huge loss, if it works great then you have one of the few(if any) black visions!
i would suggest getting some 3m adhesive tape (2mm?) as moving the digitizer will require this as well as holding down the flex. let me know how it turns out! maybe ill try it myself
I saw these a while back, almost bought it but was sceptical of the quality. Really wish I did now..
My nexus 4 is at the moment broke the back and front screen. I watched a few vids and was led to understand
its a phone that was not made to be dropped, iv learnt that the hard way.
I have ordered a new back and new screen, from Amazon. Back has arrived just waiting on the screen now to start repair, it seems like it could be a DIY Job?
Anyway my main question is because I do not want it to fall and break again. Can anyone advise me on a cover that
will protect it at a price not too high and were are place to buy? Im in Ireland so it would be best to order from a EU site but I am willing to look at getting from ebay or amazon ect.
Ay help wud be great thanks all.
I broke my N4's front screen twice and paid around 125$ each time to fix it in fixing store, after the second time i searched for rugged case and found an awesome case from 'ballistic' company, it's called 'TOUGH JACKET' costs around 30$.
highly recommended case, been using around year and no breaks so far.
p.s: fixing your phone at store costs pretty much, i also decided to replace my battery alone rather going to store again, just do as DIY videos on youtube shows.

I have just replaced my screen+frame after a double drop smashed it completely. I contacted Motorola Support and while my phone too was under warranty, it doesn't cover accidental damage to the screen through being dropped. I was quoted an eye watering £200 to send my phone to the repair facility in Germany to have the screen replaced and couriered back to me in the UK. Negotiations failed!
This all at the same time the Moto X 2014 was reduced on the Moto UK website to £229 for the same spec and options as my handset. Absolute madness!
By comparison, An Apple iPhone 6 screen replacement directly through Apple costs approx £86.44 without their Apple Care package, £55 if you have Apple care. Motorola are ripping customers off with their repairs.
So what I have done is purchase a genuine screen replacement from a US based reseller on eBay. This cost £72 + £20 postage and £15 import tax, so £107 in total. I performed the repair myself, heating up the rear cover (bamboo) first to make it easier to remove, as there is a lot of adhesive! Thankfully there was no damage and could be re-applied. There are 18 T4 screws to remove, a couple of connectors for the battery, LCD etc.. the whole thing just lifts apart after that. Quite easy really!

This is the one I bought, there are others available from different US resellers:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151642165201
There are slightly cheaper options that you can get from China and Hong Kong too. I went for the US seller because of the speed of delivery to the UK and I had slight worries whether the China based screens where genuine or not.

This might be too late, but check this out http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...ement-for-your-custom-moto-xs-cracked-screen/
Did the screen you ordered already come with everything in one piece? (LCD, touch, glass, maybe other parts to make it all fit, etc)
Don't throw away your money in replacing/repairing the screen! It did it twice and highly regret it. Seems like the screen is breaking on it's own! Such an expensive phone with such an incredibly fragile screen....no case, bumper, protection or a thousand pillows will save your moto x screen from breaking. As usual: Motorola does not care about that = biggest dissapointment to me

I'm thinking of replacing myself, anyone got experience of picking up bad screens off ebay?
This looks Chinese but feedback seems good - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172182739756
This one looks reputable but not sure it's worth spending 100 quid on this phone now, although I don't have any complaints with it, yet - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172221035417

How is the quality? same as original? what about the colors, contrast, etc?
Hi.
Can someone find full housing for the phone?
I need the frame and battery cover... Its not destroyed, It works great, but I want a renew...
Im from argentina, I found it in India, but dont ships here.
Maybe someone can recive my money, buy it, and reship it to me...
Thanks so much
Check Ebay & Aliexpress
Your best bet is buying the full lcd assembly with frame attached. Replacing just the middle frame would be a pain, it's not too expensive, about $120 USD considering it has the lcd, the back battery door could easily be found on ebay. Both those items actually.
