Hi guys, so the mini cracks all around the plastic edges.
That comes as one piece, it's just the back case.
Anyone know where to get it fixed for the cheapest possible?
I'm in the uk.
Wow, this happens to all the handsets and no one's got a solution? I know I can get a replacement back for £25 and take it to a shop where Labour is £35. So £60 is my best shot. I just thought seeing as it's such a common fault there would be a service dedicated to fixing it.

So just two days ago I asked about a case for my wife's new G2x. I took your guys advice and ordered the $25 case (forgot the name of that brand though).
BUT, today she dropped the phone (it's unbelievable!) and the screen is smashed. I mean cracked like a cracked glass. You can't even see anything when you turn it on.
What do I do now? Throw this phone to the garabage? Buy a new LCD? If buy a new LCD, how to look for one? OEM? Non-OEM? eBay? LG's site?
Any advice on this would be very helpful.
Thanks!
There are phone repair shops that can fix it for you I think. I tried to replace an ipod battery once, which required removing the screen, and I cracked it trying to open it. I'll never mess with a screen myself again. Ipod glass and digitizer repair was like $60, no clue on G2X.
Edit - I might just be clumsy, and if you're good with your hands, you very well might be able to do it yourself for cheaper.
buy from ebay and have someone replace it. should cost about $50 - $70
its probably a lot cheaper to just replace the screen, but you would have to order the parts and fix it/ have somebody else fix it.
In my opinion if you dont mind spending a little cash i would just dump it for a sgsII or a GNex

This exact same thing happened to me cuz my friend shot me with a bb gun (phone in pocket) and the bb cracked the inner lcd.
I'm with rogers and they told me with every new upgrade you get insurance with it up to $150. Sending it in for a new screen costs about $250. So with them covering $150, it only cost me $100 to repair.. (with $50 help from the shooter).. making it worth it. Find out if your carrier offers something like this.
Also, some advise.. I now put my phone in my pocket with the screen facing inwards, and I also bought a case for it. Seidio Active, it's very nice.
borken glass
so ye i was clutz and dropped my phone and is cracked through out. looks like the screen is fine behind the glass. so my question is where should i go to replace the glass particularly in the gta area? i heard samsung doesnt do a great job. any hellp is appreciated thank you
I did mine myself and have had no problems since. There's a youtube on dismantling the phone that can walk you through it if you're not comfortable doing this kind of thing. The only real problem is the money... the cheapest I was able to find a replacement for was $170 on ebay. But, the seller was reputable, and the replacement was new. The issue is the fact that the glass, digitizer and LCD are made as one piece. I have an extra bezel/backpanel from attempting to extract the broken glass from the LCD. Only the bezel/backpanel survived. Its still better than paying sombody $250 to do it for you. Unless you have insurance that is...

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.
If anyone knows a good glass repair guy let me know.
Obviously it'll be more expensive to repair the lcd/oled display altogether. But the glass itself, while more difficult to do, would be cheaper on theory.
Let me know who you repaired yours through. Thanks
Had mine repaired. Most places won't when think about doing anything but the full glass and display replacement. I shopped around, most places wanted about $450 for the repair. I found a place that did it for $270. UBREAKIFIX, if they in your area I can't recommend them enough.
Best option is Samsung direct! I looked around and all were 250+ , and I would loose waterproofing and warrenty. Samsung charges 216.49 ( No insurance)

THANK YOU FOR RECOMMENDING ME THIS!!!!
My screen fell FLAT on it's face on some marble floor and the glass surprisingly didn't break.. howeveron the LCD has some damaged pixels.
Online they wanted almost $300 dollars for the LCD+Glass assembly PLUS I had to buy my own special tools and glue and this place only wants $259.99?????????????????????
And that's with installation!! WOW
I'm so going to book my appointment soon!
My s6 edge plus glass broke last year and I go into Samsung store. You can either pay for full fixing cost or buy an Samsung care or whatever it's called. They don't check your phone. Just a thought.
Personally Samsung store would be best idea, especially of cheaper and they will maintain the warranty after fixing.
HI, I have question to tag on, if my motherboard on a S8 PLUS is dead, can I replace it with a regular S8 motherboard ? or does it have to be S8 Plus motherboard ? The reason I ask is because I see a good deal on eBay. Thanks.
