Been searching around for the front glass. I've found the adhesives but not the glass.
Anyone spotted it anywhere.
Thanks

Perhaps I'm being overly sensitive in regards to my lens, but I keep thinking, one little scratch and it won't take a decent picture again.
Anybody tried just cutting up a screen protector to a mini size to fit it or are there any companies I haven't seen yet making one?
Thanks for any advice.
I've been wondering the same thing but I haven't seen one anywhere.
Just so you know, the OEM lens cover sticks on and is easily replaceable. If you take off the battery cover, it can be popped off with your fingernail. HTC probably has a replacement parts program. I can't see it costing over $5 to get a new lens protector.

Wow. Awesome. Thanks for the info. I never even thought of it that way.
Not so worried anymore.
Anyone know if the lens cover is made of Gorilla Glass like the front screen?

I do not believe the front is made of Gorilla Glass either. There was some conflicting info for a bit about that, but I think the final verdict is that it isn't Gorilla Glass.
BSE back skin comes with a little cover for the camera
I have this but hesitate to put it on. I'm afraid that it will degrade pictures. anyone install the lens protector from bse and can give an opinion?

Dropped my Nexus and shattered the glass... All works still. Found the outer glass on ebay for like $10. Is it possible to replace it without having to replace the digitizer? Is it glued together like some other phones, or can I take it apart and put in new glass without issue?

According to ifixit the outer glass is glued to the digitizer:

Anyone have experience replacing just the outer glass? I read its possible on other phones, and they do sell the outer glass, so I have to assume there is a way... I can't find digitizer for sale anywhere..
If the digitizer is glued to the screen it's likely you're gonna need that entire assembly replaced which isn't gonna be as cheap as a $10 slate of gorilla glass.

Bought the S6 Edge from a T-Mobile store. It looks as if there may be screen protectors already applied to both the front and rear, but I can't tell for sure. In particular, there is a small rough plastic blob (about the size of a head of a pin) just above the LED flash on the back, which seems like it might be attached to a plastic film. Does anyone know? Thanks-

There was a protective film over the camera and flash area. No other protective film anywhere else
Camera and flash yes. But the phone itself just came in a deconstructed plastic bag.
The back of my s6 (standard model) has a crack in the rear glass. Not all the way through yet, still smooth but I have come up empty as far as finding a replacement glass for the rear. Any idea where to buy it?
There's plenty on ebay
I only see screen protectors, not replacement glass.
Are these not them? http://m.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw...t+back+glass+s6&sqp=replacement+back+glass+s6
You're better off buying a skin wrap
Just wondering if anyone has used a replacement screen from ebay to place just on top of the regular screen instead of tempered glass? They sell them with OCA film which is similar to LOCA glue, so I was wondering why this wouldn't work? I attached the link but just looking at some feedback on the idea.

That can not work, because of a glas sitting on top of the screen needs to be wider than the screens glass.

Although Samsung would be foolish to think there isn't enough business to warrant an 'OEM' TGSP made by the same company who put out the gorilla glass for oem's
Perhaps Sam doesn't want your phone to last too long.... bad for businesses
