Hello guys,
as the title says the front cover sticker starts to fall off and my display starts to follow it. So what except front cover sticker do I need? Can I just melt the front cover sticker and reapply new sticker or I have to start with the back cover(I will also have to get new back cover sticker)? Also do I need any other stickers like earpiece/headphone jack? I have confirmed that only the front sticker is bad with a piece of scotch - when applied the pressure sensor showed waterproofing is fine.
P.S. I have already changed my back cover sticker with parts from witrigs and the phone was waterproof after that so I have the suction cup & guitar strings and I'm kinda familiar with the Z3 design.

There are two screws on the bottom of the Tf by the charging port. Then on the back there are clips all around the outer edge of the "Asus" panel. Use any non marring tool for the clips. Once all the clips are loose, the bezel around the screen comes off frome the front. It seems to bemostly plastic with a metal overlay. Then there are ten or eleven philips screws that hold the rear panel on.
Sorry no pics
So the metal bezel comes off first then followed by the plastic back panel which is held in by screws?

Thats correct. You can see the screws for the back after the bezel is removed.
The metal around the edge is seprate from the back plastic and the front glass. However the metal is extreemly thin and WILL bend with any kind of proping. Also once u remove it getting dust under the glass is going to happen. Also the plastic clips are very ****ty and if one bends or brakes the transformer will not click back on. Its not worth opening this thing up. If u have a issue with your unit call asus and have them fix or return to store.

Thanks to everyone who posted this information!
The only thing that bothers me about the TF is the creaking, so I was thinking about fabricating some pieces to upgrade or replace the back, bezel, or both.
couple of questions for you...
--Were you able to determine exactly where the creaking comes from? Is it just the flimsiness of the back panel or the way it all mounts together?
--Also, you mentioned dust getting under the screen after reassembling- so the glass is a completely separate component? How does it attach to the rest of the unit?
--Finally, are there any warranty/tamper seals that get broken during dissassembly?
Thanks again!
I didn't go any further than removing the bezel out of fear that I would break something or not be able to get it back together. I didn't get any dust under my screen and there wasn't a single tamper seal that i saw
Has anyone found a replacement lens cover for the DoubleShot? The only one's I could find online are attached to the rear housing (which makes sense), but I don't want to lose the serial/imei sticker on the back. My wife scratched up the lens cover enough to bother me.
If worst comes to worst, you can move the sticker.
I've replaced the entire body of a MT3GS and I managed to pull the manufacturer's stick off without too much trouble. Heat it with a hairdryer for a few mins to soften the glue and it should pull off easily. Then depending on the residual stickiness, you can simply transfer it over or add a little additional glue.
Hi, I have some leftover spare parts from repairing my phone it is a complete phone except LCD and digitilizer. The back camera board seems also to be broken including the vibrator. In short what i have is:
Battery cover, no scratches, unshure if it is HTC original.
Back cover, paint fallen off on sides, unshure if it is HTC original.
Main circuit board (That means new IMEI-number)
Keyboard, as new, light leaders for CAPS/ALT missing
Screen back with slide mechanism, not htc original back sticker.
Front cover except glass.
Front camera
All buttons on respective cover included
I dont see any seal or gasket on the back cover or in the phone should there be one to keep the water out or did mine get left out?
The screw that holds the back cover on seems loose it will turn to unlock in my pocket .if I blow on it hard enough it may turn to unlock.Are all rugby this loose?
I can push down on the back cover near the bottom side and the top side will pop out.Do you think the back cover is defective or are these just that loose ?
It will definitely not keep water out.
This will be my first phone without a "removable" back panel. I am not sure what to do since I have using the Scosche Magic Mounts with the metal plate you install. I dont think that I will be able to install it under the panel if I could remove it because it probably does not have an extra panel to keep the metal from touching the electronics. Like most phones have when they have a removable back panel and battery. Right now my only option is to use the small one directly on the back of the phone and use something like the clear full case to keep it from catching and still being able to keep the back panel visible.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Frank

Could diy a case like this guy did.
I think I will just use the plate attached to the back and under the clear rubber case.
Oh. I'm the guy who made that thread didn't even think anyone would ever look at that again. For this year's new Moto X, I actually cut and fitted a whole back plate to cover up the custom back colors the moto can have. I cut out 3M foam tape that would be placed on the metal plate and contacted with the phone. Basically a metal skin protector back cover. I made the metal match the new sides in dark gray.

photos or you didn't make it (grin).
Mine sticks to a magnetic mount without a steel plate in a case or in the device itself. Magnet sticks to the metal in the phones internals. Doesn't affect using the phone for gps or anything.
