Outer glass is for exactly that, replacing just the surface glass. You have to separate the outer glass and the original, fully-touch-functional, LCD digitizer using a thin wire and 80'C heating source (hotter than that will ruin your LCD) to melt the LOCA (clear optical) glue which cures with UV light source (or out in the sun). It's difficult and time consuming (3-4 hrs labor). The glass is only $10 or so but other equipment is needed as mentioned. There are kits for $25 which includes wire, double-side tape (not as good as LOCA glue due to dust getting in between glass and LCD and not as durable when phone gets hot--glass may raise and separate from LCD, glass may crack easiers).
Full LCD is easier and more durable as you replace the whole thing. Down side is cost ($70-$150 depending on phone model). It only takes about 15' to change out the LCD. It's usually same or even cheaper to buy a used phone than replacing a full LCD. For example you can get a used LG G2 for $50-75 on Ebay and Swappa in good condition.
Remembers replacement parts are NEVER as durable as original screen as they're generic Chinese stuff. Don't think you're getting Gorilla glass for the outer glass. One drop and your replacement screen glass will break. The full LCD replacement usually fail within 1 year due to generic digitizer or recycled digitizer.
If I were you, I'd just buy a good condition used LG G2 and be done with it.
I just replaced mine G2 D802 (from 2013) Lcd, you need to replace the whole thing (screen+lcd)I think, you can buy the Lcd from the Internet. I bought the lcd about $50 and got the shop to replace it for $6. Now my G2 is like new.

Thanks in advance!
as someone who's done the repair twice. Don't buy from ebay as they sell cheaper knockoffs.
Its actually pretty complicated and almost worth the money to send it in for repair.
Really.
i disagree, the repair was fairly easy if youre following a guide. ive done it once and taken mine completely apart twice. the most difficult part was separating the broken glass from the rubber part where it is mounted and getting the bottom part of the phone off without breaking it or leaving marks. I used spray adhesive to seal the new digitizer to the mount. I bought mine from amazon, just about the same price and came with prying tools. it was good quality with only a single miniature air bubble in the glass which is only noticeable if youre really looking for it on a full white screen.
if only your glass is broken that is all you should need, the digitizer. if the lcd is cracked or bleeding you will need that as well.
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.

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
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.
Can anyone please point me to a source for ascreen assembly that doesn't cost $30 less than buying a used N6? $150+ is just out of the question....at that price I could just shell out another $50 and get a brand new Moto G4.
Thanks!!!

You can look around on AliExpress (beware of offers that sound too good to be true), but screens for the N6 are notoriously expensive.
You get what you pay for.
The few times I have saved money by dealing with "questionable" suppliers ended up costing me more.
Amoled and Oled screens are not cheap... Every phone that share those types of display is not cheap to repair , more than this N6 spot a 2k display. Similar display on Samsung devices cost the same. Your only bet is to buy a used one or a refurbished unit that will cost almost the same as new. I m a computer technician and I repair smartphones, when I get amoled devices to repair, I give the customer only one chose : original or to not repair, because refurbished displays ( aliexpress or Chinese units??) Always has some problems (colour, sensitivity ecc) due to the whole process of refurbishment
Well that sucks. I guess this one's going to the boneyard. Thanks for the advice
yeah, just cracked my nexus 6 today (dropped it off my ear onto driveway) while taking trash can in with 2 hands full. It had a slim case but corner drop cause shattered glass screen. Digitizer assembly costs $130. Could try removing cracked glass and buy new glass screen at $10 but process of removing glass looks very painful (also requires optical clear glue and UV light to cure the glue (or leave out in sunlight X 2 hours), especially with risks of bubbles, debris getting stuck in glue, breaking digitizer removing glass and old glue.
Ended up buying used Nexus 6 on Swappa for $130 with tiny chip at corner but does not affect viewing or touching areas. I plan on reenforcing this chip with epoxy resin so it won't spread with future drops. Also getting a full-size case with corner protection for this used phone.
