I'm brazilian and they are charging R$ 540,00, more less U$ 270,00....
Im pretty sure the "glass" you're talking about is a unit with the lcd.... you cant change it separately. And yes, it's by far the most expensive part on a phone nowadays.

Are you sure this device has gorilla glass? Btw it's just a single piece, I recommend you to buy a bricked i9070 and replace the motherboard from your device to the bricked device, (easiest than replacing lcd), or you can replace the lcd (maybe from i9070P too) it's the cheapest solution for you

I am sure.. Gorilla glass behaves different.. It's kind of bouncy when you tap with your fingernails or use a pen.. Same feedback from s2 and ace.. I think it's possible to replace only the protective glass
.. Unless the lcd and protective glass are fused (like in s2)

Yes, I heard about that our brazilian SII don't have Gorilla Glass, btw I'm sure that GSA doesn't have it too. I'll keep my phone until it get unusable or maybe I'll give it to my mother and buy another one!
After watching some videos on youtube, and find this front glass replacement at ebay Screen replacement... I would like to know if I could do the same thing to replace my GSA's front glass?!
first of all, it seems that's much more difficult to replace broken glass on such a device than just replace a lcd in a simple phone like nokia e51 or anything like that. according to some guy in another forum, at home you'd never be able to replace glass only in a device like galaxy s/s2 or s3 - it's told to be some kind of gel between the glass and the digitizer that you'll never be able to put it back together to make it look and work like brand new - even on successful tearing apart the old parts and putting them together to work, you'd still have some odd dull sound of empty space when tapping the screen IF YOU SUCCEED, but I repeat it's not obvious - guess why s or s2 with broken glass are so cheap? yeah, got it - it's really not easy to do it by yourselves.
btw. don't spread rumours about the brazilian i9070 to be deprived of gorilla glass - i9070 doesn't have gg, nowhere in the world. samsung sites were displaying this information some time ago but they seem to remove it - they no longer boast of gg in i9070
I had an LG Optimus 2X P990 with GG, and I replaced the glass by myself that time. It was was pretty easy.

With some sort of scratch-proof magic coating. Maybe we should just ask specifically for a titanium cover.
I'd like a backcover with a proper clear class for the camera, so the pictures won't come out all hazy and greyish as they do now..
As for colors:

Anyone know where we can purchase an original black/brown one? I dropped my phone on the pavement and now it has a nice scratch on the corner...I had literally just put it in a leatherette case not 10 minutes before so I guess I was lucky....

Just mask the middle up give it a light sand and paint any colour you want, just put plenty laqure on so it doesn't scratch easy.
Then custom colour it any way you want

Let me answer your question this way ...
I never put any display protection foil on the X8.
Since I'm a Android user, and now allow me to pull a analogy to a iPhone related story, I'm not brain-dead enough to stuff my phone into the pockets of my pants together with the car-/house keys (was actually a story about Steve Jobs doing exactly that and then throwing a fit at the engineers because - lo-and-behold! - his iPhone had scratches; who would've thought that!?).
I only used a pouch for the X8 while I had it in any of my pockets - and the same goes for my SGS Galaxy S II ... inside a fitting pouch when running around with it.
Not a single scratch on the X8, not a single scratch on the SGS S2, not a single scratch on my tablets.
I have been using the same proctection sticker that came on it from the box and always kept it in a lether pouch witch I bought in the same place and time where I bought my phone. its been a year - only the red cover seems to loose it shining.
I used a screen protector for a month, but when it became dirty and whit that air blebs, I remove it and then I realise.. oh my screen is awesome and never back to screen protectros. My right pocket is own by my X8, nothing else.
Surpirisingly, I put my X8 in my pocket with coins and it doesn't get scratched! xD
And do you use protective foil cover?

If you need a replacement volume rocker try looking for broken Xplays on ebay. There could be a good chance that the volume rocker is good and just a broken screen, or something.

Check out the first photo where the back of the middle plate has a black sticker on it, that black sticker on the other side of it is a gold ribbon that goes into the housing and makes contact with two pins on the bottom end of the mother board.
The second photo is the replacement I ordered from the same link you posted in your OP. You could buy the one you linked and peel back the black sticker and super glue it back to the replacement middle housing, which is what I did because the back of the L1 and R1 are white on the new housing and the Verizon triggers are black on the back, looks better in white and in picture three I think I did a pretty decent job even though the photo does it no justice, and minus my thumb print!
Hi guys
My front facing camera always looks very fuzzy and I suspect its bcos my screen protector is covering it. Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem and/or knows how to cut a hole in the screen protector specially for the camera?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app
woot~ maybe look for one with the hole already? I bought it that way for like 5 dlls at a local store, it has the hole for camera and another one like "L" for the sensors
I already checked if a clear screen protector interrupts the front camera and the answer is no. But I found out that a mirror/matte screen protector really interrupts the front camera..
You can find on ebay many good screen protectors for a few dollars.
Thks gonna go search for it now

I mean screen and digitizer come stuck together you can't separate.

that means that the digitizers on ebay are not good, since they should be a unique unit (digitizer+screen)?

You can separate the screen from the digitizer(touch glass). They are not combined together.
If your SP digitizer broken, you can choose to replace the the touch glass or the touch glass with front housing. You don't need to replace a new screen.
For mostly phones, the screen and digitizer are glued together. But Xperia SP is different.
So what " zolaisugly" said is wrong.
Here is a guide: http://youtu.be/CVannSZ-Pck
It's not in English but it's clear enough
Warning: you can take everything out of the phone with ease but if you want to get to the screen you need to unscrew the small pentalobe screws on the side bezel of the phone
