Stupidly managed to smash the front glass on my Honor 6 plus while on holiday. I've been quoted 90 GBP for a repair, but that's about half what a new phone would cost. I can get the glass and tools very cheaply. Does anyone know if I can replace the glass only (screen and digitiser are fine) without completely dismantling the phone?

Dear all,
Today I dropped my one S on the ground...
Result: a broken front lens glass.
The digitizer is working well, the LCD panel is intact (I think) and the phone is working 100%.
Only the front glass is broken and scratched heavily.
I asked a price for repair on an official repair center: around 200$ (reconverted from EUR).
The repair center told me it is impossible to replace the glass without replacing the whole LCD and digitizer.
I searched the internet and I came on this page: http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-htc-one-s-glass-lens.html
Price: around 15 $ including shipping.
My question is: how is this 'front lens glass' mounted in the phone? Is it mounted with glue?
Or is this just 'pressed' in the case? I don't know exactly how to say it in English, but I think you understand me: just opening the case and replacing it, and the screwes of the case are responsible for the place of the lens glass?
Can I do it by myself?
Does any1 have experience with this?
Is it difficult?
I have a little experience with repairing phones: i repaired a Desire Z with new camera module and LED module, but neither I am an expert.
Thx 4 all!

If the digitiser breaks, since our phone is LED you have to replace the screen as well. No two ways about it.
However, if you have the right tools for the job, it shouldn't be overly difficult. Obviously, it goes without saying, your warranty is 100% gone the second you open it up.
Maybe this can help you.
Hi
My nexus 5 has fallen down. Touch and everything is working graet. But the front glass is broken. Is it possible to replace just the front glass or must i replace the whole lcd+Touchscreen??
The whole lcd costs 80 €. Its too much for this old phone.
Thanks in advance
You need special equipment to separate the glass from lcd and there is a large chance that you break the lcd. LCD with Glass and plastic frame cost around 40USD on aliexpress or ebay
Yup, aliexpress.com is the way to go for a low price but the screen isn't quite as nice as an original LG screen. I've replaced the LCD/frame/digitizer on two N5s and it was very easy.
Where can one source the rear glass from?
My Pixel 2 dropped from an ottoman onto a tile floor landing on its back top corner, and spider-webbed the back glass panel. I just measured this little ottoman - it's only 22" tall. A fall of 22" is all it takes.
My biggest concern is the spider web effect actually chipped the glass, where the glass breaks off in very tiny pieces. And it's depositing tiny glass particles all around the house - where i have a 1 year old toddler all over the floors. Not to mention my pants' pockets and my desk. I'll go pickup a cheap cover to keep the glass from crumbling all over the floors for now.
I see these "uBreakiFix" stores can replace the glass for $150 or so at a local store. I have no local store near me, nor do I think $150 is worth a tiny piece of glass. But they seem to be able to get the glass replacements.
I have repaired dozens of our tablets and phones of the years so I have no issue with that part. I just need to source the glass.
Thanks!

Nope, not yet. For now I just got a cover until I can get a replacement.
Same problem, the google staff in Italy ask me around 200€. The rear glass for Pixel 1 is on eBay for 5€ and on what I've seen in YouTube it just need 5 minute of work.....
Keep in touch for the first who will find the replacement

Found this, so I'm trying it when it arrives
Hey man, just wondering if you can tell us anything new? My back glass shattered too and the glass itself isn't too expensive now. But can you get the old one off without complete disassembly? So many teardowns and nobody touched the back glass.
This is with a white dome installed
The White dome is unharmed. That right no cracks or dents. Just the main screen is cracked

Damn, that really sucks... What were the circumstances of the crack happening?
OOF, that hurts. Try taking it to UBreakIFix, I just hate seeing a nice phone have its screen cracked.
Just went to UBREAKIFIX store and they are an authorized Samsung repair facility meaning they do warrenty work, right on the spot (pending on parts on hand). For around $350 in Canada, whole screen (digitizer, lcd) and frame. Battery $100 (1/2 price if they do the screen replacement at the sametime) and they do the repair and they guarantee the work for 90 day and reinstate the original warranty. I am very Impressed.
You did something right samsung. Even cheaper then if I did it myself.
Hi everyone, my pixel screen has gone after a bad fall. I'm sad. Around my town there's no place that can fix it but they can replace it if supply the screen. On Amazon there is just the screen (20 euro circa) and the screen + the digitizer (120 circa). The touchscreen works perfectly. Is the 20€ glass enough or should supply them the digitizer one? Thank you guys.
Replacing only the front-glass is nontrivial.
Ask the shop if they have a laminating machine with a vacuum/autoclave.
I recently just bought front glass and found a shop that was able to replace the front-glass only. This is the far-cheaper solution, but now there's odd bubbles under the screen, so, find a shop that knows how to do it properly.
