Cracked screen, please recommend a good replacement - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have no idea how but when I went into my bag to check on my N7 the screen had a huge crack along the screen. I'm not willing to pay an arm and a leg for it, I need a reliable seller that won't take forever to ship it either. Any help is greatly appreciated, I don't wanna stop using this device. Thanks!

I think the glass, digitizer, and screen is all connected together.. Replacements will run you about 150$ so your best bet would to buy a broke nexus 7 with a good screen and swap it yourself, or buy a new nexus for 50$ more.

Damn in that case I may just get a Nexus 4

That doesn't make sense. You're ditching a tablet for a phone...that requires cell service? You said you liked the N7 so you could buy a new one (sell broke one for parts), pay 34 for square trade coverage and still have the tablet you like with an insurance plan that would cover the screen breaking.

I decided I'm gonna let my girlfriend keep it, she said she would pay for the repair. I'm gonna check on eBay and Amazon for prices on used ones for the screen. I live with her so technically I will still be using the N7
And I have an outdated phone, the LG myTouch 4G. Now that I got my new job I can afford the N4 without a problem, just wondering if the unlocked version from the Play Store will work with T-Mobile 4G service. If I have to setup the APN myself I don't mind, I hope that's the most difficult thing I'd have to do.
I'd be thrilled to use that device to tether with the N7, I'd be pretty happy owning both. I don't know about the N10 tho, it's too big for me to take anywhere.

Some how crack my screen with out cracking glass?

Hey guys so my 2 year old loves this tablet and uses it more than me. But to learn sign language and of course angry birds
Can I fix it is my question?
It looks fine no cracks in screen at all look at the photo showing the damage under the glass. I think his little foot put just enough pressure on it to break it..

That looks gnarly Dinc
Best bet, look on e-bay or maybe somebody has parted theirs out. You can change it, but maybe it's time to upgrade?

That sucks. You could always get a new one.
Next time don't let a 2 y/o play with such a delicate "toy".

There is a link for part numbers. It was under something like "making the 500 a 501" or something like that. I really can't remember. But I managed to do searches and find it awhile back.
Somebody played with the idea of making an a500 into an a501.
But you'll have to search. It's there.
As far as a web site with acer parts, I know of none.

This version of sense seems to be far more 'complete' and like you said... there are a lot of different launchers out there if it's not for you.
I ordered mine the day after the unveiling, just waiting for the 15th march Will be like a kid at Christmas.
Me too have pre-order Black version

Didn't preorderer yet but will get it asap as well. Just waiting for even better price drops

i only espect a clean rom with low blootware, asop in this device is not a option i think, because of zoe and ir
I want a feature rich phone and I hate AOSP UI. Yeah I'm a sense love eversince So go with HTC. Won't wait for a price drop here. This is just me showing my gratitude for them for reincarnating the nokia XpressMusic line on the latest devices.
Ok XpressMusic and HTC M7 are not totally the same but their line of designs are actually the same. More of like the casual type of phones where it looks really cool and not the typical classy look.
Oh I miss my last XpressMusic phone!!!

Cancelled Best Buy AT&T Note 3 Order Due to Delay Email

Originally Best Buy was talking about estimated ship dates of around 9/27. With all the delays, I knew it wouldn't ship around then, but I had hoped that it would ship by Friday.
I received the e-mail in the video this afternoon and after work I gave them a call. They couldn't give me any idea of when it would ship or if I was closer to the front of the line or the back of the line. The only reason I was trying to purchase through Best Buy was for points and sometimes even if they aren't running a special, they'll send you a $50 gift card. Happened with my S4.
Anyways, I think I'll sit this phone out. I'm sure it will be great. I guess it's Optimus G Pro until the next best phone after the N3.
Enjoy everyone. There's always a possibility that I will break down Friday!
Must not have wanted the phone in the first place

Huh?
You are going to sit out the N3 because you won't get it shipped to you as fast as you thought?

I do videos on phones, cases etc.
If I'm not going to be one of the first then the phone is a scrub for me.
My phones... LG Optimus G Pro, S4, HTC One, Cricket Admire 2, Verizon Note 2, AT&T Note 2, Cricket S3, Verizon S3, Sprint S3, AT&T S3, and I'm sure I've left some out.
Make a little more sense?

Fascinating tale my brethren.

[Q] Something under my screen.

Does some people have the same problem as I have?
There seems to be something underneath my glass screen. Looks like scratches, but its between the bezel and the beginning of the screen.
Some pictures about my case:

Nothing there if I turn on my screen :
Stuck pixels? Had it happen on my n10. Looked like dust under the glass when the screen was off & couldn't see it when the screen was on. Stuck pixel remover worked for me.

It is not in the screen, it's below the screen. I think there are no pixels there.

Probably a defect in the glass bonding... contact the carrier or LG and see if you can get it replaced. That's what the 1 year warranty is for...
I'm scared to lose my phone for 3 weeks and they say: it's your own fault (it's not, I didn't drop it once) and after that I need to pay the research and transport costs.
And if I want to get it fixed, it will me a lot more!
Going to the carrier shop tomorrow. Let's hear them out.

What model is it and what is your carrier? Most carriers handle this type of return w/o issue.

Dude, it's called "member found deals" not company promos. If we wanted that we could just go ANYWHERE, lol.
What are you taking about, i got this in an email because i have ordered from them before, so people that have not ordered before will not know about this great deal, I am no way affiliated for XtremeGuard.
So this deal is in the right location, if you dont want to use it then DONT!!!!

The Offer is still valid as of 10th January 2014. Just bought a couple of Xtremeguards today.
Offer is still valid. I just ordered a couple for my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7
Still going. I just ordered a G2 HD and Rezound protector for $1.30. Can't beat that.
Offer expired 1/31/14
Junk quality protectors. Cut incorrectly. Even the HD is too big.

Up and running again. If you're desperate for something cheap you could try it. I've grown to like my wet install on my Nexus.
My edges still haven't adhered on my droid maxx yet no dust has accumulated and it's not peeled back.
