The screen is specially made only in Samsung's Factory, You will only be able to get a new screen direct from them. Give them a call and see what they can do for you

that sounds about right
SNS replacement screens are harder to come by than the SGS replacements
technically they should be the same
you can always try a SGS SAMOLED replacement screen on the SNS
Damn dude! If that happened to me I would be sick to my stomach and maybe shed a tear or two. For Christ's sake, be more careful!
I'm sorry, I'm weird. It upsets me when I see some people's expensive phones all beat to hell.
i was not there when he dropped it, but his bro said that he leaned right over trying to catch it, and was stood on 1 leg i was like omfg what if he had fell over, he had been drinking i think as well, if he had fell over he would not have survived.
he should have waited. i see otterbox are releasing the ns defender case soon! it'd have bounced right back up to him!

Looked like spider webs all over the screen.
i think it will work with new screen it powers up ok and and sound of it turning on he will have to do some overtime at work lol for that e screen
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=9820935930
you can get a new one at the cost of 89USD（excluding the freight） ....
i am not to sure on getting a screen off a chinese website don't they make fake stuff all the time ?, i am in the uk have you ordered off them b4 ?
ok so i used google chrome to translate £54 for screen, but i am not sure how much it will cost in shipping
it can hardly be fake....they have no such technology....if they have such techology...they do not need to produce a fake samsung screen，they would make a product with their our brand.
shipping costs about £20 if is not taxed........
i post that in order to tell you how much the screen really costs and it can be bought from the market...you can search it on a b2c website in your own country...
wish you good luck...

So today the baby decided to slap the evo causing it to land on the very corner onto tile. The glass piece above the lcd is shattered but the screen protector kept it together nice. Here some pics for you all.

Yup. Tried to do it online got an error. called sprint, they didnt put insurance on the account when I got the phone. lol. Went to sprint had them add insurance since my other two lines had it. I always want insurance on 500 dollar phones because stuff like this ALWAYS seems to happen. So I will be now calling them sometime shortly. I wish sprint could just fix it. I saw the teardown pics. didnt look that hard to me. lol

Luckily, I have a case, and a screen protector. I know if that happened to me, I would still be screwed. I also have the T-Mobile insurance ;D.

We need to believe that SP makes our phones super safe because that's the only way we can justify buying them

Of course it was a joke...duh
I'm still wondering how it happened.
I mean for the phone to be on the door opening at the right time.
in most cars the phone will either fall outside on inside the car.
It must have performed an awesome balancing act to be broken right down the middle.
what i bet happened is that he raged and slammed it against the edge of a table or countertop.
Accidental damage warranty exchange?
I have a scratch coming from the upper part of the screen going right and down. It's very small right now.
I was freaking out because my last phone was a pre which cracked and slowly went across the screen.
My question is I know the screen is glass so is there a coating on the screen that is just scratched or do I now have to worry about it slowly spreading across my screen?
I dunno man but if that was my phone I would be sick to my stomach. I know what some of you are thinking. Christ, its just a damn phone. True, but I am very careful with my phones and treat them like they're my baby. God I'm so embarassed admitting this!
The first and only time I let someone use my epic, they immediately dropped it on the concrete. It had a case on it and I don't think the phone was damaged but I cussed at them anyways (it was a customer too). I will NEVER again let someone touch my phones after that incident.
Hahaha. I lost 3 of my 6 pres to the usb crack.
I don't know the answer to your question, but I'm slightly worried about my phone too.. it does look like there might be a crack towards one side of my screen. I bet we're just traumatized by the pre where if you waited out a problem, it didn't get better. The good thing, I guess, is that I got used to dealing with asurion.

How does it work? Is there a 2.1 OC kernel? I haven't been keeping up. I was thinking of digging mine out to try out the new webos when I first read about it on precentral, but I forget it exists most of the time now. I never thought I'd buy into android, but htc phones are great.

Yaaaaayy, I've wanted this phone for like 2 months, I had a chance to buy a SGS2 but I took the Arc over the Galaxy S2, some may call me crazy (Maybe not you guys) because it's not as technologically advanced but that doesn't matter to me, the Arc S is DAMN SEXY! I ordered it in Pure White about 2 hours ago.
I'm on AT&T so I ordered the LT18a version because I'll receive the correct bands. So yeah, excited. Join me in my festivities!
Thanks =D

Good choice, I do like the white as well ( had X10 in white ) but arc in silver cause they didn't have it in white.
Arc is well-designed and you will enjoy every second of that sexiness.

When you get your hands on it, you'll fall in love with its looks and you won't even want to consider an Otterbox case!! Trust me, I'm anal when it comes to maintaining my phone in mint condition, but with the Arc all I can stand on it is a clear silicone case. It just looks so damn perfect!!!!

Yes it comes with a very strong and perfectly applied screen protector.
It's very thick though and a fingerprint magnet. I removed it and applied a generic clear one.
Thhe best case for the white Arc S is the Barely There, it really is barely there!
When you want a case, I give anpther vote vor case-mate's barely there.
I hate cases on phones, so I removed it after 2 days, but ti's really thin. On my iPad 2 I have a case-mate barely there that is applied and it's great.
Case-Mate is a definite go
Screen protector:
Removed it on my Arc almost 2 months ago - no scretches
And I keep my "naked" Arc everyday when I go to school etc in the pocket of my jeans
Boo to cases. Just get a decent screen protector.

Kind of true and kind of false. Some of these stores are 3rd party retailers. They have their own inventory and at times have their own promotions. For example the one near my house smells and looks like T-Mobile, but it's owned and operated by a different company.

I've heard this from more than one source, it seems like the GG5 is less prone to breaks, but more prone to scratches. On a hardness scale I seen it got scratched at 3 and the S7 edge was like a 7 or 8. Mine is sitting in the box til I get my Xtremeguard and either The Spigen I paid for, or the promos Rinke sent me to review.
