I recently cracked my LCD and ive decided to hold of on buying a new one as i still have about 80% visibility left and i can deal with that but i am wondering if the digitizer is under any sort of plastic or is it whats being tapped with no protection because i left the factory screen film on and have been waiting for my screen protector to arrive and if the digitizer isnt protected then ill go ahead and take of the film and not worry about scratching it because it will be replaced when i get the replacement lcd/digitizer.
.dont pay attention to this replly, just focus on the post (iaccidentally replied and this is the edit)

here is my story: i got a cracked screen and damage housing g1 everything else works fine, so i've decided to purchase an new housing from ebay, when i dissect the g1 i've realize the only crack is the front cover, the lcd and the digitizer is perfectly fine, so i have been looking around for that outer screen part, but unfortunately all that i've fine is screens that already have the digitizer attached to the screen which cost around $50. so here is the QUESTION: anyone know where i can fine that screen piece? O btw the new housing does not come with that piece which is very gay.
I have seen plenty of reports of bezel damage, but none of screen damage. And finding out the type of glass used is difficult.
Wondering if the tempered glass proctor I am using is a waste...
Well, can't say that's a bad response to this question. So many views, so little scratches. Looking forward to mine, coming in the mail.
I've got a tempered glass protector on mine, but haven't felt that it's been 'needed' at any point.

Same here. It's just more a comfort for an event that is statistically unlikely to happen at this point. The bezel, which does take the dings, protects the watch face very well from anything hitting it directly.
I have an IQ Shield on mine which is awesome. I also put a slickwrap on mine. The other day I bumped the screen pretty good and the screen protector was damaged. My take is better to have it on there than have something happen and regret it. They ship 6 protectors in the package and you don't even know its there. I always use glass ones but i didn't like it on my friends watch and from previous phone experience they stay on like glue so i suspect if there was an issue it wouldn't be fun to remove.
Wish I had the tempered glass. I have a cracked display now
I had 2 small scratches, so it is possible to scratch! Currently at lg for repair, started lighting up in pink pixels, unrelated to the scratches. I hope they can fix the watch, and I hope it ships back with a new screen, time will tell. I plan on getting a screen protector when I do get the watch back
Cracked Screen
Totally destroyed the glass on mine at the end of last week, will be contacting LG on Monday to find out about the possibility of a repair.
Don't know how I broke it, it was a the end of quite a long night out, if you know what I mean!!
Luckily the touch screen still works, so I'm hoping it is just a case of LG doing a repair and charging me an arm and a leg, probably go for a toughened screen protector from now on.
Broken.
So i was out today on my delivers and came across some little S***s that started throwing stones at me. One hit the screen completely shattered... didn't realise at the time, if i had i would totally be beating the **** out of them.
Hi everyone, I got the S6 Edge and I really enjoy it, this is for me the best smartphone ever regardless the price ^^
As we all know, the S6 and S6 edge are protected by the last Corning solution : The Gorila Glass 4. This one is great against scratches and damages according to some videos on youtube.
So I was wondering if we really need a screen protector - due to the expensive price for a GOOD one which covered all the two curved parts. I can't imagine to put one without having the two edges parts uncovered : , I've already done this to my NOTE EDGE and trust me this is really ugly

http://www.mobilefun.com/53060-olix...ge-tempered-glass-curved-screen-protector.htm
Did someone already have scratches on his S6 or S6 EDGE ?
what do you guys think about the resistance of the Gorilla Glass 4 ?
To sum it up, what do you advice me to do ?
Thanks a lot , kind of i'm getting a little bit confused with that
i think you will always get micro scratches over time, i dont use cases find them ugly and in the way but its always a risk, i myself will be getting a tempered glass front and back when they are available
There was scratches on the demo units at the launch event...any screen will scratch even GG4. It comes down to whether it will bother you if it does scrtach, and if you're willing to take the risk?

Do you need a screen protector, the answer is depends on how much you like your screen. The cost to replace the screen is $200 the cost to replace a tempered glass screen protector is $20-40 depending on the device. The Amzer Kristal product is still in mfg and will be here (soon) when its ready. For now I have a simple clear screen protector, but glass is always better.
BTW, my co-worker and his wife both have iphone 6+, she didn't think she need a glass screen protector, well she dropped hers and yup broke the screen, $200 later new screen, then a week later and still no glass screen protector, my co-worker used her phone and set it down on the kitchen counter and it missed, and yup another shattered display and another $200 spent. Now she has a screen protector, I had a spare around since I sold my iphone 6+ for a Galaxy S6 Edge 128GB.

Thanks for answering guys !
I took a microfiber and cleaned the screen .... it's already a little bit scratched : OMG
I'll buy a protector screen tomorrow
The GG4 is definitely built for damages not really for scratches ...... :crying:
I have to have a screen protector on even if it's this ****ty translucent orange peel that they call Skinomi until a true tempered glass comes out. If I even notice a tiny scratch I'll looking at it constantly

My S$4 was just retired with a well scratched plastic protector. It was plastic and scratched easily. Now with it removed I have a nice new looking phone that isn't being used (after taking the protector off). I suppose if I sell it used that will be worth something. My point is that if you use plastic, you will be replacing the protector once or twice a year or living with a badly scratched protector because they scratch easily. A glass protector will last longer, but likely isn't as scratch proof as the Gorilla glass so it too may need to be replaced once or twice before you retire or sell the phone. I don't drop my phone often so haven't gone to that expense ... a rubber or silicone case around the phone protects the screen from breakage because the phone most likely will land on an edge and that breaks the screen rather than a hit to the screen itself. That protection is more valuable than a screen protector from a breakage standpoint when it comes to dropping. Even a screen protector won't help if you sit on your phone. I don't plan on a screen protector for my S6. I'm going to enjoy having a clear screen and take care of it. I did well with the S4 and will do even better with the S6.
The screen panel has detached from the phone in the top right corner. Also the headphone jack stopped working about a month before that.
I'm a little worried about peeling the tempered glass screen protector off. I've done it before and it's no easy task, it's on there firmly. I'm worried that I'll damage the screen doing so.
Could I just leave it on, or might they reject the warranty for "using unsupported accessories" or some BS, claiming it might be my fault that the screen has detached?
in Europe they would just disregard the protector.
Unfortunately not every time they disregard it. Yesterday I was repairing one with same issue (You can look at my blog http://e11mtlab.blogspot.com/2016/01/sony-xperia-z3-compact-odklejajacy-sie.html , it's in Polish but there are some good images I think). As You can see I fixed it without taking off screen protector but for example, Polish Sony Service Center says that they can detach tempered glass if it is necessary. I would say it's not necessary but in most cases they are changing Your firmware even if Your issue is broken screen etc. so no matter it's necessary to take off or not Your phone can return without tempered glass.

I'm having an issue where the screen is becoming to come off in the top right corner. Do you know if heating up the front screen (and adhesive underneath) and pushing the screen back down would fix the problem?
You can try. Original adhesives are thermosensitive so if there is no dust, dirt etc. on adhesive it can be fixed after reheat. Never tried it so if it works give me some info.

If there's a problem related to the screen like the panel coming off or something it's best you remove the Tempered Glass as the personnel would have a harder time trying to fix your phone without "cracking" the tempered glass.
A thing to note is tempered glass is very weak against bending, since it is engineered to withstand force on its complete surface area.
Good luck!
In case of Z3c I never had problems with tempered glass. I have changed adhesives in 3 or 4 Z3c and never need to take off glass or protective film. However there is really hard or maybe even impossible to take off back door without braking tempered glass on it or destroying film. Back door glass is flexible and tempered glass is not so one fold and it breaks. Fortunately it's not so easy to break back door but I repeat one more time - heat it up with hair dryer before taking off, same with screen.
If you care about reusing the tempered glass, then take it off before sending in for warranty. Otherwise, it could be removed and not returned to you. It will not void your warranty though.

Hello guys!
It's my first post on this forum so excuse me for all mistakes that I have made
Some time ago i dropped my LG G Flex from about 0,5m. The screen have "spider webs" so it makes annoying to use it. Luckily the screen and touch layer managed to survive .
I searched web for replacements but i didn't find the glass. I only managed to find a glass with whole display. The cost of whole thing was about 50$-100$. The price of that part was too expensive to make it happen (i bought phone for about 140$).
Soo i have came up with bright idea. I was gonna remove the screen glass like this girl on video (Search YouTube for "HOW TO REPLACE A SMARTPHONE SCREEN!" uploaded by "everythingdiy").
Thing was very easy because LG don't have any physical buttons on front and the whole "frame thing" was attached to bottom layers (With samsung phones the "frame thing" is attached to glass").
After removing broken glass i cleaned everything up with just a tissue.
Next step was the easiest one. I bought online a tempered glass protector and applied it on my screen.
Here you go, everything is working very well !
I have payed for replacing my screen glass about 5$ (+ work with removing old glass)
I think i have helped someone with similar problems.
REMEMBER !! To preform this your display and touch must work !!! You are doing it on your own and i don't take any responsibility if you damage your phone !!!
what tempered glass protector did you buy? please can you send a link
also, when you remove the glass, was it attach to the lcd with glue?

I bought the cheapest one Any tempered glass will do the job.
The glass was attached to the LCD with glue. Make sure to warm up the screen with hair dryer or heat gun
You can try removing that glass at any point. Just google "removing phone screen glass" or something like that.
Remember it's not that easy as it sounds, the display is very fragile.
