I have a crack in the glass but the touch screen works fine. Is there a way to just replace the glass? And what glass should I use to replace it?
Just under 50 views. Can somebody respond?

I have no idea.
I think as with other nooks the glass is fused to the LCD.

Are your sure? I thought so, but it would be cheaper to just replace the glass.

1. That's the HD+ (not the HD, what I have)
2. Didn't have anything about the glass that I found.

A quick search confirmed the glass and digitizer are a laminated assembly.

Thanks. Eo, if I understand you correctly, the glass and digitizer are together (cannot be taken apart), but are separate from the LCD?

Yeah, that's my understanding. For all practical purposes, one piece.

As far as breaking the screen on an expensive phone being funny, i'm not sure... but I would suggest you buy a replacement that is GENUINE samsung, as ebay imitations will be made of inferior materials that will scratch easier, break easier (and you don't want that considering the one you had) and will impair touchscreen function, you probably also will need to change the unit as a whole including the AMOLED, this is because the screens are glued together and also calibrated together (or I would imagine so following trends of touchscreen technology) Might be costly!

Screen and digitizer come together as one assembly. You can't replace the digitizer only.
Take a look at this video, it explains how to disassemble the phone and replace the screen:

There is no LCD on Captivate. It's AMOLED screen + digitizer as one assembly.

If you just need the lens to cover the screen here you go. Its not too expensive either. With shipping its under 10 bucks.

Hmm..true. I thought it was there but I looked again and it look like the LCD and the Digitalizer is in a one piece. So not sure if it can be split, it can be glued together and the Touch will go in pieces if you will try.

The digitizer and lcd war glued together with strong adhesive. It asks high skill to separate them.
If you want to DIY repair, you'd better replace the LCD with digitizer and frame.
Hi
i successfully separated the digitizer from the lcd using the usual method the glue is not as strong as it was on the Z
just in the middle of getting the digitizer sent out got my loca glue & uv lamp nothing ventured nothing gained.
