I couldn't find any repair tutorial's but I did find this [disassembly guide]. It may help...
Once you get the screen out (the ones I've done) you have to use a heat gun and separate the glass from the LCD... It's a big pain when it's shattered...

so which bit do you want? The glass, the bezel?
The external housing the screen is scratched

the screen and digitizer are glued together, expensive
It is possible to separate them but it is fiddly, hit and miss, and requires skill and patience.
There is a thread in s3 general about doing it, with a video.
Ahh I thought was separate sorry for misunderstanding

They are very hard to prise apart so my suggestion is live with the scratch and get a screen guard.......always, whenever you get a new phone!
Depending on your phones colour, this is what you will need. He is a UK seller and trusted i can confirm his item is legit. I was playing Basket ball with my brother near my house and the floor was concrete floor. Anyway i took a shot and the phone fell out my jacket pocket and landed face down. The screen protector got totally f'd up and i still got a scratched and a cracked screen.
I was looking at youtube videos on how to replace the screen it looked hard till i found these two items on ebay.
Blue touch panel and metal frame with hardware buttons.

White touch panel and metal frame with hardware buttonss.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIGINAL-...arts_Tools&hash=item5aea48657e#ht_4474wt_1163
Anyway so i have a white phone i ordered the white digitizer metal frame thingy it is quite expensive, When it arrived all i did was take my phone apart and take the important parts like the mic, motherboard, front facing camera and etc and swapped it into the new one and it works great again looks brand new as well.
Thanks that's what I'm looking for

You're most welcome

And got quite a few.
Managed to dent my side metal frame.

My sisters Nexus 7 was dropped today and I'm trying to get it fixed for her. The frame is dented up so I'm not sure if the replacement would fit anyways, but maybe. The glass is cracked pretty bad but the LCD still works fine. Problem is, the digitizer must be broken because it will not register any touches. She does not need a whole new screen assembly, because those are expensive, rather just the glass and digitizer. Do any of you guys know anything about replacing it? Thanks a lot for any help.

Sorry mate but on the nexus 7 the screen and digitizer are fused together. Bottom line, she needs entire screen/display. I haven't seen them hit the market yet.

They are on eBay but go for around $160. Might be cheaper to buy a new 8Gb and sell the broken one for parts. Seems like that's what a lot of folks are having to do.

Thanks guys, unfortunately that seems like the only fix right now. Might end up finding her one off craigslist

Hi, did you find the replacement on Craiglist?? Today I broke mine..
I found just the glass and digitizer on eBay for less than 30 buck. Don't know how difficult this installation is gonna be but I'm up for resurrecting my Nexus 7.

What type of glue do I use to replace it inside its frame?
Sent from my U8800-51 using xda premium
I used a reasonable brand of double sided tape on mine. Just cut it down to size. Make sure you strip out the old stuff first..

Ouch - 1st things first get a screen protector/ seriously to protect the broken glass (not to the protect the phone) / Its probably too early, but u can look for a new digitizer / it's gonna be expensive / i'm assuming you don't have insurance (or the co-pay is really high)/ sorry about the phone...
edit double ouch... ($262)

If u have insurance, i would go that route...
Yeah tell me about it, bad luck and ouch..
I was thinking about the digitiser and stuff, but isn't that for the touch screen function? That works and so the screen, any way to replace the top plastic only?
Sorry if silly question, making suire
Thanks in advance

It's quite a specialist task with a very strong chance of things going wrong (you can see an example here); I would recommend just buying a new digitiser + display.
Damn, I'll see what I can do. From the UK, need to find UK parts

My daughter just dropped her less than a week old phone in the grass and somehow managed to fracture the glass at the top where the camera is. Of course, no insurance. She found a replacement part for a reasonable price. I'm just wondering what is involved in replacing it.

All I can really find is the tear down which doesnt show the removal of that back glass. The way it looks though is that if you hit it with a heat gun you may be able to pry off... here's the tear down if you haven't saw it yet http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G0dKEaIEqYY&desktop_uri=/watch?v=G0dKEaIEqYY

I agree, it seems like it's glued on... I'm just not sure how decent it will look when the new glass is on and the glue re-sets.
It would look better than shattered glass, at any rate.

Simple fix. They sell the back camera glass cover with adhesive on it. Break out the old glass and stick on the new. 5 mins max. If you need any further help send me a pm.
How much money are we talking here?
