replacement glass?

Anyone know if it possible to buy a replacement glass (only the glass)?
I wish to remove the screen protector, but if it get scratches it would be nice if I can buy a new glass and replace it myself.
If there's anyone selling that, the place to look for is ebay.
Why remove it? I tried the phone (did not get mine yet) in different stores and the screen could'nt be more responsive imo. with the pre-applied protector in one store and the bubbly protective film+pre-applied screen protector in the other and there was no problem even with all that applied.. so i dont see the point in risking your glass.. just my point of view.
cheers

If you try the htc desire, you will see what I am talking about.
The mineral glass on x10 feels like cheap plastic with the protector on.
Just my opinion
The feelings

after getting my own X10 now i can agree the screen feels a bit sticky if you have a bit damp fingertips. when fingers a freshly washed with soap and dry i have no problem with it
scratch your screen on a rock if you're a real man
else I recommend you to be girly like us and never remove the protective shield

Real man
Yesterday I have scratched my screen on a rock, so I am a real man.... a crying stupid man.
Anyone have a idea how to replace it?
Is it possible to find and replace only the external glass? The touch digitizer works perfectly.
I thought the x10 screen is meant to b scratch resistance!? I've got little scratches all over mine! :0(
Think due to keys and coins in my pocket! :0s forget sometimes

Guys... did your x10 came with a prea-applied screen protector? Mine came with a prea applied screen protector but i can't seem to remove it. I'll post some pictures.
The screen protector is really hard to get going but once you got a corner it's easy to pull off.
Got no protector on my screen, no scratches at all and screen is much more responsive.

Why on Earth would anyone want to remove it? I've got the one that came with it and stuck another on that I got free with a case, and not lost any responsiveness at all, and as this phone cost me a few hundred pounds, the last thing I would want to do is lessen the protection of the screen.
the glass is the actual digitizer which is glued to the fascia of the phone, i cracked the glass on my phone and repaired it myself, digitizers are available from ebay for around £50 coming from honk kong. The quality of the digitizer is very good btw.
IMO the screen with the protector on was way less responsive, I don't understand why you need one, I've owned 2 iphones before this phone and used with no protectors, not had a single scratch on any, including my x10. Each to there own, but I just prefer to have no protectors on my phones.
I also don't use any cases either!

The OP is on about removing it, leaving it off, then forking out for a new screen if and when it inevitably gets scratched.
You guys just made my day! I had a big F*ing scratch at the center of my screen. Just found out I had a screenprotector! YEEY! its off now..
Need to get a new one!
Double posted?! WEIRD!
Has anyone found one?
I'd like to know how to get hold of a black screen so i can put it on my white x10.
Reduce the grubby look and give it a meaner look.

[Q] Should I buy screen protector?

I just saw a threat of some people that got the CGorilaGlass2 scratched.
So i wanted to know is:
-Someone else is having this issue?
-How did you got the scratch?
-Should I buy screen and back protectors?
-Why is this hapening?
-Isnt the corning gorila glass2 supposed to be stronger than GNs Oleosomething screen
Thanks in advance!
GN FTW!!!
People have to understand that Gorilla Glass does not mean your screen will never be scratch. You screen can still be scratch from dust and sand. If I was you I would buy a screen protector and case to protect the phone and protect the possible resale value of the phone.
I take care of my phones but I do set them down on tables and desks a lot so I'm gonna buy a clear cover for the back plus it'll give more grip as I don't think ill get a case. Not gonna use a sp

I admit I am kind of paranoid when I get new things, so I haven't taken off the factory screen protectors that came with the phones :silly:
I'm waiting for my SGP screen protector to come, so the front doesn't have to look ghetto. I might just keep the back one on until they make protectors for the back and the bumper goes back on sale.
So my suggestion is yes screen protector! You paid hundreds of dollars for a device, might as well protect it's beauty!
But I ve used Gorila Glass on my SGS2 and no scratches. And the competition on the GN and no scratches either, even aften a fall of a moving car (the phone)!
So why should CGG2 get scratched!?

screen protector for my note 3 9000

Hi
I have samsung note 3 and i am looking to buy scratch card
http://www.flipkart.com/capdase-pri...b_13&ref=b899ad89-c167-4203-aa96-00dc437306bf
but some of my friends saying that my phone comes with gorilla glass so suggest me no need of tempered glass as it wont work with it.
gorilla glass + tempered glass
so i requested you guys to help me out.
thanks in advance.
Even gorilla glass (1,2 & 3) can get scratched!
Glass screen protector may also protect the screen from drops as it its glass is almost tough as the Gorilla glass. Replacing an $8 glass screen protector is much cheaper than the $250 replacement screen.

Yes these days high-end phones comes with temper glass which doesn’t get light scratches like other does easily. But they still get scratches easily. So its always better to protect it. I ordered the phone with a SP and when I unboxed 1st thing I did is put the SP on.
So definitely you should get a screen protector immediately, mostly for the Note 3’s Lovely screen. But using any SP may damage the visibility. So always get a quality one. But for general use I don’t see any purpose of using tempered glass thicker one, I’m not going to scratch with a hammer on the phone. I don’t make sense why people use those.
Also as it’s a phone I cant see any purpose of Privacy Screen Protector, this can damage user’s visibility if you see from a tilted side, like watching movie in landscape view. And 1.4k INR for a screen protector? No way, I would never ever buy that.
I ordered this one from FK and still its working great, no damages in visibility.

Has anyone actually taken off the screen protector?

And put their own, or is the one the Op2 comes with good protection enough?
I took it off to replace with a spigen hd one. But it is a good one. Should have left it. Haha
Yeah I replaced mine with a glass one. The one on it is not to bad though. I just like glass protection and the feel.
Took it off today to replace with tempered glass, but it's OK protection for free.

Same as everyone else - I replaced it today after maybe 6-7 days and threw tempered glass on there. Smudge-free now.
Same. Replaced with tempered glass after a few days..prefer the feel and protection of tempered glass.

Well my uncle bough the opt for me, and I bought a tampered glass protector from OP for it, but my uncle says to use this one until it gets dirty then use the protector ;~; I can't argue since he bought me teh phone..

I have the tempered glass one for it from one plus but will wait a few days. Hard to believe it will be smudge free after I put it on. I was just concerned taking the free one off that it would leave some kind of residue.
It's a piece of cheap plastic which does no favors for either protection or screen clarity. Replace it with tempered glass, the difference is HUGE.

I have a pthink tempered protector coming, what's the best way to remove the original and replace with the tempered without dust and stuff getting underneath? Last time I tried I failed miserably and frisbeed the glass on into the wall
I just dislike screen protectors. Never had a problem with scratches on any phone in the past.
I ended up taking it off and put on tempered glass, I recommend it.

Which one did you install? Really smudge free?
Anyone installed the Non Glass screen protector from OnePlus ?
I have it and I'm wondering if it's better than the factory installed one.
I replaced mine with one of the Orzly tempered glass protectors, and it's WAY better than the stock. The stock one is fine, but it's a fingerprint/smudge magnet, and it's not as smooth as a glass protector. I've used Orzly protectors on all my devices and they're fantastic. The one I had on my 1+1 saved the screen after a drop in a parking lot. The protector took the impact and shattered instead of the screen.
Took off the free one in 24 hours. It was good except it was a fingerprint magnet. So many smudges. Happy with tempered glass.
I removed the stock, then applied the orzly tempered glass right after. Definite improvement!

The easy way of getting this explained is this. The phone comes with a thin layer that is OK at best. If you have a flip case then you might be happy with that but if your screen is going to be exposed then purchase a tempered glass 1. If your going to invest money in a device and it quite obvious that you will be looking at the screen a lot then protect it. Its not like it's gonna break the bank and you will never worry. ☺

Screen Protector or Tempered Glass?

I just got my G5 Plus. I want to know that is ok to have nothing on screen for protection or I get a screen protector or tempered glass?
Btw which ram variant you got? 4 GB one? How's initial impression? All good?
Yeah, 4GN one... All seems perfect... All good... Took pics as well.., Pic was very good crisp and very good
Screen protectors only protect from micro scratches, which will in any case be minimal on a gorilla glass protected display. Tempered glass (in india) are the cheapest possible slabs of glass with adhesive which makes any mobile look goofy and cheap. I really dont think either of this protects your phone in case of a fall. get a nice case and be done with.
Cool. I am waiting for mine to be delivered
Oh and ya I'll be using glass protector for bestest safety.
@ batmobile_bang Yeah I will be getting a good case for sure but was asking about the screen. As it attracts fingerprints so I was thinking to have screen protector on it. What you think? will it be good to have screen protector?
BTW i hate tempered glass
I am waiting for neelkin cases and screen glass to get released.
