Late by 1 year
By the way to replace the bezel you'd have to separate the screen by pulling on it by a vacuum cup while keeping it at around 80 degrees celcius. There's a video on youtube that shows the process. However the probability of the screen cracking is really high so I'd recommend getting a new screen altogether (and replace the battery as well) OR just get a case

Yes there is but you'll have to use the search function to find it yourself.
I have searched without luck.
The closest I found was this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342115&highlight=replace+glass
Its easy to do if your up to the job if so may well be cheaper buying a full house with screen $10 or so on ebay once a gain search...

Thanks, I have read them already.
All searches are related to replace the all LCD (glass LCD Digitizer), I would like to know whether somebody has managed to change the glass lens only.

Yes the they have if I find it I'll post but like I said it cheaper to get a new full housing and screen and replace this way. As you need to warm the screen with a hot gun on med heat or hair dryer to release it from the bond around the housing..
And hot gun/ hair dryer needed to heat screen when replace but make sure soundring arean is clean..
If you want a clean, looking like brand new screen, use a little furniture polish, just a couple small squirts is all you need and the screen will shimmer like crazy.
Give it a try
Bahahahahahahaha I been doing it for awhile. I wanted something to clean my screen and all there was furniture polish under the sink. So tried it and it worked

Another thing that works great and lasts with minimal smuging, is car polish. Aaaaand they actually make a glass polish that is supreme.

Take care. Furniture and car polish may contain wax.
FWIW, I use a micro fiber towel with no solvents at all. Works flawlessly.
Microfiber and eye glasses spray!
Actually just microfiber. Don't need any kind of liquid. I got some of these at Amazon and they work fantastic. I got them for cleaning the lens on a piece of equipment at work and I needed a wipe that didn't drop any kind of material on the drum of the machine.

Gave my girlfriend my Z3+ it's under-clocked etc and this is from playing candy crush for 30 minutes.
RIP glass back
too much tension on the glass perhaps ? (from Sony)
oh dear ...
Mu phone back cover was broken when it dropped from table 3feet high. Back glass is very sensitive and I recommend using covers.
This was in a cover. The heat must of expanded the glass and since Sony must have a low tolerance it would of strained pushing on the metal frame. Made some noise.

That's actually looking pretty cool, a pattern in the glass back.
I tried replacing the cracked screen on my phone and a few of the screws on the back got majorly stripped when I tried to remove them. I tried the rubber band trick, I tried tape, I even tried the superglue thing, but none of that worked.
I'm thinking of just drilling through them since as far as I can tell, I'd only destroy my already busted screen, but It's hard to tell from the teardown videos if there's anything important around the edges.
Before I did that I thought I'd ask here and see if someone had any other options for me.
Update: Well, I got the screen changed. To fix the screws I had to take it a local jeweler, they had more precise tools than I did and removed the screws without damaging the rest of the phone. Essentially, they just a slot into the screw and then just unscrewed them from there, don't know if that helps anyone else, but I figured I'd post the resolution.
I had this problem as well. Ended up drilling it out with my Ridgid battery powered drill. I tried to post the video on YouTube but it was to long. I will try to edit it down more if I get a chance tomorrow. My advice is go very slowly and have good light. I was about as nervous as Connor Cook will be tomorrow but in the end all good. Hopefully the same for Raiders tomorrow. Good luck. It can be done.
If the screws have locktite or go into plastic you might try warming them with the tip of a soldering iron before removal.
This is the 1st half of the screen replacement. Shows up to where I get screw out. Will upload 2nd part later. Not the best video in word but probably the only one with someone drilling their smartphone. Took me about 2 hrs total mainly because i was so nervous.

Were you able to get the screen changed?
So I work in a kitchen and for the last 11 years have never had an accident....today I dropped the phone into the steam well (water slightly below boiling)...panic moment as I shoved my hand in took the phone out and removed it from the case...I wiped the phone off really good, blew water out of all open ports and threw it in rice for good measure.
Needless to say I am posting from the phone right now and can attest to the quality of the waterproofing.
My only concern was the extreme temp of the water but all is well. The gaskets did a good job and the LDI is still white.
Figured I would share for anyone curious about the quality of water proofing.
Thank god it wasn't the fryer.
How's the hand?
