So I have a 3D printer, the Ultimaker 2+, and I designed a case for my S5 with the official Samsung wireless charging back on it. I'm thinking about designing a flexible case for the S7 Edge that's compatible with tempered glass screen protectors. My question is, does anyone have a 3D printer so I may share it with you? And, no I'm not advertising my product. Everything I create I release for free online. This is merely a heads up to those wanting a case that won't destroy a tempered glass screen protector. I read the rules, and feel that this is allowed, if not then I'm sorry in advance Mods, do with this post as you must, just don't permaban me.
If this is allowed, I would also like some ideas on a case. I designed my S5 case to redirect the speaker to the front of the phone (won't be easy for the S7 though because it's on the bottom) and also allowed a lanyard of some type to be attached. I also created a dock that fit the official Samsung wireless charger inside so I could place my phone on it in my truck to keep it from sliding off as I drove. Any and all ideas will be taken into consideration.
try asking on thingiverse
Have you tried to ask someone from Makerbot "thingiverse" to help you out I would help you but the delivery will be really expensive since I'm from another country.
Sorry I can't help

I don't necessarily need help. I really just wanted ideas on a design that others would like. And no delivery, or charging anything. I don't charge people for what I design.

Hi. My special needs son used a set of keys as a stylus and has made a couple of holes in the screen. I am in the UK and can buy a new screen for £65 on eBay but can find no instructions for fitting it. The firm will fit it for me but this cost an extra £25.
Anyone help me out please with some information?
Thanks,
Doug
Can get a replacement if I knew how to fit it! Anyone know please?

It's amazing what you can find if you use the SEARCH function instead of bumping your own post the same day....if you were that desperate for it try searching yourself next time?....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43836
In fact, my friend, I used the search function before I did anything and it came up with about a thousand hits of which the first hundred were no good!
I am quite desperate for this information, hense the bump before it went off the page. Keep smiling.....
Doug
Learn to use the search engine? It came up straight away if you use the 'all words' function....and I attached the link for you but you obviously haven't realised as 'you are' desperate for the info not 'you were'...
Oh well. I'd just pay the £25....
Thanks for the link anyway. I have downloaded it but it looks so complicated, I will pay someone to do it anyway.
Sorry to be a bit sarky, the link was appreciated.

Another reason to get the screen vendor to fit the screen is that there are 2 possible screens for the wizard - unless you have opened the phone before purchase you will not know which, so if they post you 'a' wizard screen you may get the wrong one and I doubt they'll take it back. If you send them your device it's their problem if it's the wrong one, just watch they don't blame your board for being faulty and try and charge you anyway.
Some vendors sell magician screens saying they fit wizards and this is true in some cases but not all. The 'wrong' screen will display strange colours and look washed out or not display anything.
From experience, most ebay screen vendors etc don't actually know this.
For the total price ( £90) why not try HTCEuropes's service dept if you have a t-mobile vario? They don't touch o2 devices and may be slightly more than £90 but they will fit the correct screen and your warranty will not be invalidated.
I know it's a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone by any chance has a spare set of casing screws for Uni to sell. In particular, screen screws. Anything will be muchly appreciated. TIA.
I would give a look at my stock of screws but, I think you'll end up spending too much for those (ha!), anyway, I think that in Ebay you could find something, also try in your own city with the people that repair watches and those who repair electronic devices (radios, TVs, etc.), I use to have a repair shop and I kept always that kind of things, I'm sure that if you're the one in your avatar no one will say you "no, I don't have them".
A big and well known hardware store/screw (specific) reseller might have them, even if they might not be torx types.
good luck
Well...

I am the one on the avatar and I am the one doing repairs, so if I am the one asking here if someone has a set of screws, chances are I tried other places with no luck.
Oooops, sorry to read that, sincerely I'm laughing (but not too much), it's funny (from my point of view), anyway, just a few days ago I opened some old computer cd roms and cd burners, there are many screws about that size all around the optical pickup and the mechanical system, you could try there, also most of the little hardware have that kind/measure of screws, I'm talking about walkmans, discmans, little radios, etc.
You might alternatively -as I said before- try to find a large screw seller, it's not easy to get them because We (the little ones) are not among their "classical" customers, but in the big cities you micht find them even in the "yellow pages", I hope this might be of some help for you because I know that kind of problems, I've suffered'em a lot in all these years -by the way, don't you need a working partner?-, good luck again (with the screws and with the repairings).

I was hoping to buy screws for 1 Uni, not the whole box collection from Italy
Thanks anyway, much appreciate it.
Disregard this thread if you're going to let me know I'm an idiot for posting it here. I understand I failed to note the proper location for it. Let it die in peace.
I (like many of you I'm sure) am anal about the idea of scratches, dents, or any type of mark that wasn't designed to be on the phone. The down side with grabbing the N1 so quickly is the lack of skins or screen protectors found locally (hence I'm going to have to order them off the interwebs.)
What do you recommend (screen protectors and [most importantly as I've used a screen protector for another phone for the meantime] cases/skins.)
Did you find any locally? I'm curious if any mall vendors (Tampa area, btw) have any stocked yet. Thanks.

I'm enitrely a failure. Disregard this thread.
Hello everyone
this is my maiden voyage into this forum having lurked for a while since i got my HD2...
Please stick with me,
I have uncovered some grossly outrageous prices from 2 of the leading hd2 repair teams on the internet in the U.K.......
read on .....
well,
The day i decide to step foot into primark, i drop my hd2 and it drops less than a meter from my hand and catches the corners and shatters the glass screen....
after a slightly delirious 20 minutes of laughing i tried to use my phone.
unbelievably it worked absolutely fine! albeit with cracked glass and fine shards of glass sticking into my fingers....
so i immediately set about trying to find out where i could get it fixed online.
The first stop was TurnOnYourMobile.co.uk who quoted me just over £200 to have the screen replaced. They offered a "We'll beat the Price of our competitors" thing, and so i looked elsewhere .
Hence, next stop, Undercutter.co.uk...
According to the very difficult to use website, it would cost me £85! bargain i thought...
so i went back to TOYM to see if they could do a price match?
the answer was no....
oddly, it seemed that Mark at TOYM used to do the repairs for Undercutter and believed that Simon at Undercutter was confusing the Touch HD with the HD2 and that his quote was incorrect.
Back to Undercutter and when i emailed directly to Simon i was quoted £115 plus £8.50! still less than TOYM but a little bit more than undercutters own website stated! not a good sign!
So i did my own survey of prices of the HTC HD2 screen Glass Screen Digitizer.....
to find that the screen alone ranges from £23.50:gultek.eu/htc-hd2-digitizer.html
to £44.95 mobilefun.co.uk/htc-hd2-replacement-lcd-p23948.htm
I emailed Simon at Undercutter about this!
The fact that the screens were available for Under £50 and yet he was charging nearly £70 on top of that to spend less than 20 minutes replacing the screen..... a Whopping rate of nearly £70 an hour for the repair....
Absolutely extortionate.....
after sending my findings to Simon he sent me an email back saying
"We are not going to justify our repair prices and service further, but if you would like to use our services, please let us know."
so my advice to anyone getting a screen repair is, unless you can afford the extortionate prices, see if you can get it repaired on your insurance, and if that takes too long, try and fix it yourself.....
After my findings, I am tempted to buy a screen and repair it myself.....
But i need your advice.... Is the anyone out there who can fix my phone for a lot cheaper and at a resonable rate???
and If i am to repair it myself, Any tips or instructions on hopw to do it???
Many MAny thanks to you
and thank you for reading.
Darren

i think its ok for ppl to ask that much money for it from what i have seen its verry difficult to do.
you have to think for yourself. if you do it yourself and you destroy your phone. what will it cost you? is that risk really worth saving a relative small amount of money?
in my opinion its not.
Hello
I had my screen replaced by HTC in the UK and they charged me £79 +VAT so I would say your being well ripped off mate.
Marshall1975, who did you get yours fixed by? and did they replace it with the glass screen as opposed to a platic alternative i've been hearing about? and was it just the glass that was replaced or the LCD digitizer too?
I have a feeling it's just my glass that needs replacing not the bit underneath it.
jamieeeee, I don't think it's reasonable for people to make that much money out of customers at all, just my view but to make such a big profit out of one customer is shocking.
The reason i've posted my findings is to highlight the nature of people preying on a niche market such as us. HD2 is still fairly uncommon and these companies are making a killing bacause we are a niche market... i think it's dispicable...
Marshall, I haven't got mine fixed yet;. i'm doing my research good and proper first before i go for it....
Thank you so much
Darren

that is just the plastic digitizer that reads your finger, not the glass.
also, the second link is for the lcd screen not necessarily the glass. (I think im correct in saying it is a three piecesetup, lcd - glass -digitize ((or lcd digitizer glass))
Thanks for the Info SamSamuel...
so can i assume then, that as it's just the glass that is broken that , that is all i need to replace?
My phone still works brilliantly and no touch problems at all other than tiny bits of glass...
does anyone know How crucial it is after a drop to replace the whole lot? as SamSamuel suggested, the 3 parts that make up the screen?
Simon from UnderCutter didn't appear to say that the screens i listed were incorrect? who knows. Does anyone here have more detailed information to what is on there on the market.
Surely these screens must be Official as they are HTC branded?
below another os Simons gems in repsonse to my findings of screens at a lower price.....
If you have the skills to replace the screen yourself then please have a go at buying and fitting. Some cheaper parts don’t work or last very long, so there are cheaper ones out there but don’t hold your breath for a great product.
Also Just wondered if anyone knew of the whereabouts of the video tutorial on how to replace the screen???
and £79 wow, i can't beat that, Where did you get it done Marshall?

the videos are here
but its verry hard to seperate those 2 things..
hmmmm taking the whole of the screen looks fairly simple in the video! but i'm sure there has to be more to it because of all the separate components that make up the screen....
still wiatin got hear from Marshall1975 to see where he got his done.....
Have you contacted your network to see how much they can do the repair for?

I believe he stated in his post it was directly with HTC in the UK.
Why not plump for HTC. Save the hassle of DIY and its cheaper than the other quotes you have?
When its all fixed, work out how much insurance would cost per year balanced against dropping it, smashing it and repeating the whole process again......
Aha
must've not seen that through my cracked screen!
I have contacted HTC to eagerly await their response which i will post here!
