Where to find replacement Elf front?

Hi all
The front of my Elf is scratched but it looks quite easy to remove the front and add a new one. Where can I get one and how much should I expect to pay?
Many thanks!

I can only recommend "www.cnn.cn" traded with them recently and was really astonished. They ship from out of Hong Kong, I placed an order on the 16th of Dec and recieved the goods on the 22nd - 5 days to Europe is pretty OK in my opinion
http://cnn.cn/shop/p3450-touch-c-277_391.html

Cheers for that. £48 for complete new case and LCD digitizer. Only paid £85 for the phone but then a new one is £250!

EBay has plenty of much cheaper options. I use cnn.cn from time to time and found their service to be the most excellent. However, some goods are priced way too high, so check around before you order. Digitizer and faceplates are generally about $15-$20USD ea if sold separately or $50 together.

Seen them as low as $30 Shipped on ebay

has anyone purchased something similar with successful install?
30$ is really cheap and usually you get what you pay for.

Yeah I bought one, (not from china) and it worked fine. I think the total was under $33. Only took 2 or 3 days to get here.

I am after a digitizer by itself, I have purchased a TyTN 2 for repairing, but the touchscreen has no sensor? no feeling?.. um, non-responsive
So I won't need an LCD, if you know any good eBayers that ship to Australia please PM me?
cheers guys

Cracked kaiser touchscreen here as well... Anyone who knows where to get the best deal on a new sheet of glass (digitizer)?

Accessories

This is just a placeholder!

I've heard there are no official accessories yet? Just have to buy generic stuff that hopefully fits

There are several screen protectors that fit perfectly on ebay.

Bought this case. Typical TPU-case.
Little overpriced but there is only few cases on the market so I undestand that.
When there will be more sellers and more cases the prices will drop for sure.

ah nice, fair bit of stuff on ebay. Didn't realise

I bought a battery and two micro-usb cables for around USD12 in a Chinese website (taobao.com). They are claimed to be official stock. I'm not sure if they are fake but the quality is good.

These fit perfectly, keep your U8800 safe, and cost next to nothing...

As far as i'm aware 2degrees have said they are getting cases in stores in the coming weeks, although they have been saying that for the past month. I've only checked in with the wellington store. Maybe wait a week or two?

will the phone with a silicon case be able to fit New Leather Case For Huawei U8800 IDEOS X5 Black(ebay),or the soft pouch with android logo?also there are 2 kinds of silicone cases 1 thats normal silicone and the other one is like silicone and foam whats theyr dieference?

The Nillkin case is not silicon but it fits very well, headphones and usb plug in with no problems and the edge around the screen sits up a bit so it helps to protect the screen as well. The case is still flexible and offers good protection should you drop your X5.

Has anyone found any bicycle/motorbike holder?

Found.. HARD Case plus Screen protector.. on ebay for $10 + $5 shipping
Still waiting for it, should get it this week.

I have Insmat screen protector, very good install and sticks on it like it should. Totally unnoticeable too.

has anybody bought those?
the vid and photos look promising

How about 'Skin protectors', has anybody come across with one for U8800? Something like ZAGG's ones. They don't seem to have products for the X5.

You need to revise your price bud

Paid 129euro for mine and unlocked.

Wouldn't trust this seller. Guy sounds like an idiot. Most likely bricked or has a messed up radio. If the back case for the Momax battery is cracked, you can be assured that it has been dropped several times. I've dropped mine several times on soft surfaces such as carpet and grass, but when in fell out of my pocket at work onto the tile floor, that's when it cracked.

Ya whatever bud.. Was only a question..everybody knows how close to impossible it is to scratch these screens. im a construction worker and move gets covered in dirt dust and sand every day and I just drag my fingers around the screen as usual and still no scratches. And no screen protector. So..whatever.

Oops I totally forgot to post back. Yes they are awesome. Got 2 packs of 2 screenprotectors (and they give +1 for free with each purchase, making it a total of 6 items).
The screen protector applies easily on the surface and it's bubble free as they advertise. The plus is that since it attaches to the screen by exploiting the static electricity, you can put it out anytime, clean it and attach it back.
Also swiping with my fingers on the protected screen, feels smooth and nice.
I recommend them!
ps: I live in Athens, Greece and the delivery took only 3 business days.
