I was wondering if the inner back plate can be purchased anywhere, as my camera lens cover is pretty scratched up and I want it replaced.
Could not find anything on google or ebay search.

I recently dropped my hd2 and the glass around the lens broke off now the lens is exposed. is there a case that will cover it or a camera lens replacement.
Update: I know im not the only one in America with a glass crack where my lens is and would like to know where to get this fixed or a part site?
I just dropped and broke my camera lens as well today.
mines also cracked after 2 weeks of use....called customer service and they did a manufacturer's warranty and got the replacement right away
Check on eBay - they have direct replacement lenses - OEM. You will have to figure out a way to get some double sided tape to mount it for most of them.
VERY CHEAP - fortunately they are available.
found a replacement on ebay. you dont need to take apart phone or anything. i just super glued around the lens and popped in. good as new.
if $ is not an option look at this...

They are cheaper on ebay. just ordered one.
Get the Otterbox Defender. I think it is the only case out there truly protecting the camera lens.
i have a cracked camera lens..how do i take it off?
Since it's already cracked, use a knife or something and carefully pry into the cracked area and pull up the cracked glass. Thats how I did it. Just becareful not to push too hard.
is there like walktrhough guide video for this?
Sorry, theres no video or walk through that I know of. As long as you pry off the broken lens its simple from there. Just pry off the lens and then just stick the new one in. Theres not much more than that. You don't have to take the phone apart or anything.
A small sewing needle is a great tool to use. Just pry out the broken piece or you can even do it from the side. What I found when I did it was that there was a ring of adhesive that is difficult to reset correctly once you take the broken lens out. I actually just took the needle and scraped off the adhesive and placed the new lens in so that it's below the surface (beveled, I guess you could say). It stays in just like the old one -- otherwise you'll scratch it the minute you put it down on the table.

What happens if it breaks again now that you used super glue?
...I used some 3M double sided tape and a hole punch. I cut it to size and punched a hole in the middle...carefully cleaned all the old adhesive off and dropped it in. Its not going anywhere and absolutely no dust can get under it...if it breaks again (which it may...so I ordered two because the price was so cheap) it will be much easier to remove than super glue.
So one week into having my incredible, it drops on the sidewalk (2days before my rugged case came in) and the glass cracked/shattered. the lcd is still completely intact. I was looking at this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00424O7JK/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A3MB8KL7VKZGWY . And was wondering if anyone had any experience with it. I have replaced other screens in other electronic devices, but was looking for any tips specific to the inc or any recommendations on a replacement glass.
I bought mine off ebay and swapped it out. My opinion is to spend the money and buy the whole front housing. Removing the broken glass from the front housing was a MAJOR pain. If you are insistant, make sure you have a good straight razor and flathead screw driver for removing the sticky residue. Head to the local hardware store and get some double-sided tape. If you look in the Epoxy area, i found some double sided rubber material, like what they use for sticking pamphlets together, only a lot stronger. If you dont get it sealed real well, be prepared for lint to get between the screen and LCD. That is the major problem i ahve on mine. Like i said, definitely worth the money to buy the full front housing.
Thanks for the advice. I saw on some videos what a pain it was to get the old glass and adhesive out, but the cheapest I could find the glass with housing already attached was $99 vs $28 for the glass. I wish I would've seen your post prior to ordering. Oh well, we shall see. Thanks also for the advice on the double sided tape. I was looking at it online, but didn't thing to look in just a local harware store for it. I think i'm going to try some medical adhesive remover for the old glue, the only problem is I'm going to have to be really careful around the four buttons on the bottom. It is nice to see that someone has done it successfully though.
You can get the glass and the bezel seperate, but make sure the bezel has adhesive on the entire surface or else you'll get dust in the screen... I fixed mine though and it looks great. Ill post pics later
Guys my phone's faceplate is damaged... one of the corner is scratched , even though its metal.
My phone is under warranty.
Can any one recommend me what to do?
Like should i go to a LG service center or is there an alternative way to buy it any where online in India.
Please provide a link for the latter
Yeah, i have the similar problem but i just use a CASE to hide the SCRATCHES,
You should try it.
I don't understand what you mean, the only metal on the phone is the back where it says "With GOOGLE". The silver side surround is plastic.
It is possible to replace the screen surrounding plate (its plastic with metal effect) without replacing the digitizer? I found that they are offered as s single part.

You can, but the bezel is stick to the digitizer using 3M adhensive, and is very hard to remove... (I disassembled the unit before, to replace my LCD and the digitizer, and the frame)
Take a look at ebay for replacement
the plastic metal effect its one with the groilla display they all make the front cover and you need to replace all front cover, a pay for mine 90€ in the lg services because my gorrila display was scrath a the metal plastic too.
Hi everyone, my Z3c has a scratched camera cover, I can no longer take pictures as everything looks blurry. I've read that I can buy a replacement for the cover, but my question is if to do this, I also need to change the backcover.
Yes, You need to change whole back door cause camera glass lens in glued to back door and if You gonna try to peel it off most likely back door will breaks. Anyway back door replacement costs 5$ and original one around 20$.
The camera lens is cracked. I can buy just the glass or glass and frame (bezel). I have found a video on how to replace just the glass but there isn't any info around on replacing the complete unit. It looks like some heat and a razor might lift it off the back cover, but I dont know if there is any other attachment holding it in place from the inside. Can anyone clarify this for me?
Probably just double sided adhesive tape. Isopropyl alcohol and maybe some heat to lift it if anything is needed at all.
Get the OEM replacement to preserve the optical qualities. Or just buy a rear cover if that's included. The price is usually cheap.
You'll want the pre-cut adhesive mounting if you replace just the glass to preserve it's sealing.
