Glass of my father's S4 was broken so I tried to repair it. When pulling of the glass some of this black film (?-look at the picture) came of aswell. The display is not turning on anymore, the phone just vibrates and then the led glows in blue.

What you pulled off was the AMOLED display. So, now you need to replace the entire display. You'll probably do better looking on Swappa for another S4, as the prices of the devices on Swappa are reasonable, being roughly the cost to purchase a replacement display and midframe combination. Display/midframe combinations though are readily available on ebay and other outlets.
That's what I thought. Then I'll get him a new phone.

Just noticed that one of the sides of the batterycover is bent. The phone is barely 3 days old. I bent it a little to fix it temporarily, but now I want a new batterycover (or two). Anyone know where to buy more of these?

What the hell did you do with it ??
Can't imagine that it got bent spontaneously
Oh gosh... Best bet is to go to HTC directly? I once lost a cover to a phone in the past and my service provider wouldn't give me a new one.
Well, I bent it perfectly back in shape. Well, 90% perfectly. I still want to buy another one or two, just in case.
Also, are there any online stores in Europe that sells screenprotection?

So some things happened and my Nexus 7's touch screen got junked.
I've sent the device to ASUS support hoping they would fix it at reasonable price...
I was wrong. They want to charge me almost 75% of the damn price for an LCD change.

This is 210 USD. Any leads on cheaper ways to fix the damn display?
Get a faulty unit from somewhere like Ebay/Craiglist, but make sure the fault aint the screen.
Then take the screen off the faulty one, and replace it onto yours?
So I ordered a replacement screen finally, as i have been with a cracked screen for awhile now. New screen came in and i begin to disassemble my phone, and remove the old screen no problem. I get to install the new one, and fit it in, its a little tight and I put a slight amount of pressure and the new one cracks in the corner. I was pretty pissed. So I then noticed that there is no gap at all between the digitizer and the hole for the optical joystick.
It was a screen from Chuanbo Zhang on amazon, which has plenty of reviews.

Did i just get a badly made screen? or is this normal for most screens or is there some version of the Droid Inc that has no gap between those parts?
Should I still try and repair this phone after ive had it for so long? Or is it time to retire and go for something new.
"This was brand new at Christmas - my children somehow broke it only a few short months later so now the screen displays a mix of colored lines as seen in the photos. The screen is good - no scratches. It charges and powers on. Has enough of a display that I was able to go into the settings and remove everything, and set it back to factory defaults." - I might purchase this if anyone knows how to fix it.

not worth the hassle, a brand new one only cost you $199 and you have to replace the screen on this one and no warrenty if anything else goes wrong, that'll cost you a bit so i suggest you just hold off

Sorry, it looks like your screen died.
If you can't get it repaired or swapped under warranty, take it apart and try reseating the display connector.
I don't really think that that's the problem, but it's worth a try.
Replacement screens on the market cost about what a discount Nook costs.
