Hey all,
Just purchased a great 2nd hand Galaxy S.
Wow what a great product... very impressed with the screen
So, I have just replaced the old screen protector with new one and now need to find a genuine back cover with the black carbon fibre look (with google logo) and also a chrome bezel which has a few nicks in it.
Any ideas where to buy these at the lowest cost?
TIA
I think this is what you might be looking for
Thnx xmsnx,
Where is the Samsung logo in that picture?
Looks OEM not genuine..
I would like a genuine rear cover and chrome bezel. Not easy to find on ebay all are fake.
I think I found this:

Looks very genuine and has the chrome bezel part too
EDIT: Just bought the parts from this guy. Will report back how it all goes..
How do the new parts look? My chrome bezel also needs a replacement
Sent from my I9000 with 4.0.4
Thanks for the resources, I was actually looking for a new backplate or potentially housing.
My Stock backplate started getting cracks on the side really early on. Having to take out the battery far too often when learning about flashing and ROM hacking ;P
Hi All
I have the samsung S4 and have to say I love it!
Does anybody have any suggestions for a car mount that can be used with the s-view cover open, ie: folded over the rear of the phone please?
Also what are the best spare batteries to get for it?
Thanks
PJB
If you want a spare battery and charger for it, you can register your S4 on samsung's site and get 50% off accessories under 50$. Also don't know if this will help you but some people have been using the infuse dock for the S3 and I would assume the S4 but it definitely wouldn't hold with a S-view cover. How are you liking the S view cover btw?

50% offer not available, I am in the UK, typical!
Like the S view cover alot, very handy to be able to see time, answer calls with cover there. Never had a screen cover before but as I could do those it sold it to me!
I imagine this would work with an S-Cover:

...works with a Trident Kraken on the S4
as above - i've used my s4 for almost half a year, and the color on my samsung genuine flip cover is just horrendous - off-white color.
tried using bleach, toothpaste, 'magic eraser' and it didn't improve the appearance much.
any other chemicals i can use to restore the condition to as good as new?
Thank you.!
Hi. I cracked the glass on my S4, and cant seem to find any replacement parts on the internet which are original.
Is it at all possible to get an original screen glass, and if not - Where would be the smartest to buy an non-original if considering quality?

My kid cracked his phone as well. Went to this lil kiosk in the mall and they cost like 150 to fix. Better off going thru the asurion to get a new phone.
I'm also interested, there's no way to find any information of the screen quality on the Internet as far as I can see.
I'd like just the glass as the phone works well, don't mind trying to replace it with tutorials available.
A friend of mine actually broke his screen and found a place to buy a replacement. He has the Sprint variant... I doubt they're not compatible... I'll ask him and see what I can find!
I have replaced a glass (on a separate phone) and glass+digitizer both purchased from etradesupply dot com. Their stuff seems to be legit OEM. I recommend them.

Ah, I was wrong, he literally only needed the outside glass so.... that's why it was so cheap. Sorry!
But that site looks like they have legit stuff.
At SSC very Expensive

You can buy from witrigs.com. I heard it from other members who bought the replacement parts of Sony Xperia Z1 from here. It seems not bad.

Good luck. If you are doing just the glass, just remember to take your time. The adhesive on the OEM glass is quite a pain to remove but it can be done without damaging the digitizer. Slow and steady! :good:
I replaced my severely cracked screen with a $6 replacement off ebay. Slooooow, steady process to remove the original screen being stuck to the digitizer with a clear adhesive. There are several videos on youtube to demonstrate the process. The new one works fine, although it is a little more reflective than the original. The touchscreen works well, but perhaps slightly less sensitive than before. A nice touch of the new screen is that the Back & Menu buttons are now blue, which looks good and is less bright than it used to be, which is an upgrade, to me. I'd say it leaves the phone about 95% as good as as it was before I dropped it. To me, well worth it to save $170 to extend the life of the phone until the S6 or S5 Prime or LG G3 or whatever phone is a big enough upgrade to make me jump. I did have a Note 3 for 9 days and it was epic, noticeably better than the S4 in pretty much every aspect, except that it was simply too big to deal with on a daily basis. But it did give me a nice dose of the level of performance I can look forward to with my next phone.
I also broke my glass few days ago and was thinking with replacing it with the new black edition glass that has no texture, just pure black. Does anyone know where I would be able to get my hands on that glass?
Thanks in advance!

Thumbstarrepair.com fixed my wife's busted screen on her S4 for $58. Looks like a brand new phone.

If you don't want to mess with the adhesive buy the screen with the frame included. It's more expensive but much easier to replace and keep the phone in perfect condition.

Search eBay for "galaxy s4 screen frame genuine", at least if they send you a counterfeit item you can open a Paypal dispute for selling fake items.
You can buy the screen with the frame or not. I always buy with the frame.
Here's an example of the screen+digitizer (no frame), 132$
Genuine Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500 i9505 i337 M919 LCD Screen+Digitizer Touch Glass
Screen+digitizer+frame, 217$
Details about Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 4G LTE Black Screen LCD Glass on Frame *GENUINE SAMSUNG*
The screen & digitizer will fit any S4 variant. But if you're buying one with the FRAME as well, there are 4 to choose from.
i9505 - fits i9505 ONLY
i9500 - fits i9500 ONLY
i545 - fits L720 & R970 also
i337 - fits M919 and i9505G also
I had mine done by a guy on Ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/usr/thumbstar?_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2754
Cost be about 65 bucks shipped. He uses the LOCA glue method (OEM style), not the double sided tape like most of the retail stores do. Sent it off and had it back within a few days. I just sent him my phone w/o battery and cover. Came back perfect in my opinion.
my local sprint store was going to repair my damaged LCD for $75... included new glass
As of today's date, this is currently the only seller I was able to find selling replacement OEM parts for the Galaxy S6.

Has anyone released any battery covers that aren't glass yet? Say plastic or a nice soft-touch or even a leather one? That would be sweet.
