I bought a rhinoskin a while ago, but just didnt like the size of the thumb opening. Also, the small slit over the screen didnt allow you to see the all the important info.
This is what it was like.

However, like I said, didn't like the buttons. So I brought out my trusty dremmel and started making a mess.
Once a little wet sanding was conducted afterward, I decided I needed to dry it off, quick. So what better than to put it in the oven. However, I forgot it was in there. By the time I got it out, the neoprene foam was sitting on the bottom of the oven.
No real problem, it was still sticky, so I got some foam at a hobby store, and cut it to size, making just enough space for my WIFI card. Then only a little paint and clear coat, and you get what you see below.

Hey...
My Universal screen has gotten a little loose. When it is open it is a little wobbly . It aint much but it bothers me! First i thought i could fix it by tightning the little screw on the LCD's foot but that didnt seem to help. Now i have taken the device apart and sits now with the screen mechanism in my hands. If you look at the attached picture you'll see what iam talking about.

I think that this is the mechanism wich is loose. The part which is placed in the call/end call cover is tight enough, but the other part which is placed in the end cover (the one with the LED) is a little loose. Maybe a little glue can fix it? Or is there a better thing i can use than glue?
I have had a universal before and found out that this seems to be a common problem. What have you guys done to fix this?
lol, I'm a whore with this stuff. It's mostly on my car. I decided to try it on my battery back. The outcome is nice because it's a lot more grippy. The kicker is if it doesn't come out right or whatever it peels off and has the characteristics of Balloon rubber.

looks nice n sleek
care to share the procedure to do this?
I like. Where can you get this done ?
All you need is a Can of Plastic-Dip that you can get at your local hardware store in the paint section (Ace, HomeDepot, and Lowes). Put some newspaper down, clean the battery cover (for prep), spray (about 5in. away from the piece), and wait about 30 min. to an hr. between coats. If it doesn't take well, peel away as shown.
Looks nice! But doesn't this plastic-dipped back cover smell a little bit "unpleasantly"?
Nope, goes away.
It was a material originally for grips like if the original rubber came of this would replace it.
So I ordered a replacement screen finally, as i have been with a cracked screen for awhile now. New screen came in and i begin to disassemble my phone, and remove the old screen no problem. I get to install the new one, and fit it in, its a little tight and I put a slight amount of pressure and the new one cracks in the corner. I was pretty pissed. So I then noticed that there is no gap at all between the digitizer and the hole for the optical joystick.
It was a screen from Chuanbo Zhang on amazon, which has plenty of reviews.

Did i just get a badly made screen? or is this normal for most screens or is there some version of the Droid Inc that has no gap between those parts?
Should I still try and repair this phone after ive had it for so long? Or is it time to retire and go for something new.
Haven't seen it used anywhere before so thought I would post it up. Couldn't justify buying a hot plate for one screen repair, and heat guns just seem a bit temperamental.
...How can I heat my screen evenly to 100DegC and melt the LOCA???
Lightbulb moment - A double boiler!!
Big pot full of water with another empty pot sitting on top. Water can only boil at or around 100degC (depending on how far above sea level you are).
Worked great, nice and cheap and no chance of burning the LCD. Used a playing card to separate the glass from the LCD.

Got tired of the pain when opening the yoga book. Also doubles as a camera cover.

Great idea..how did you do it?
Took a piece of duck tape, stick half the length of the tape to the screen bezel then the part that sticks out fold that so the sticky side sticks to each other and becomes the pull tab.

Nice! Thanks for this nice mod you came up with. I was also looking for a way to make it easier to open up, now looks like we have a solution!
Definitely. Thanks
