Does anyone know if the digitizers on eBay are a knockoff or are real? Or if there is any performance difference with the knock off displays

I'm not sure where to get a replacement, but I believe the Droid X's screen is made with Gorilla Glass (which should be fairly scratch resistant).
Hello Everyone,
I was wondering how everyone's experience with the leather, specifically the natural leather, and plastic backs? I like the idea of the leather aging naturally, but wasn't sure how the new leather compared to the Moto X 2014. I am curious how the plastic backs compare to the OG Moto X (2013). Also does anyone know if there is a place where you can view the backs before buying the phone? Thanks for the help.
I've got the black plastic back, it's got a diagonal ribbed texture which helps a lot for grip. It's not anything like the almost waxy plastic texture of the white and black version of the OG Moto X that I had.

It's also a bit of a rubberized material too so it's that much more grippy feeling.

I've got the natural leather. I like it better than in the 2014 Moto X. I like the texture and it feels more premium. It is wearing pretty evenly and looks better than on the 2014, except where I dropped a French fry on it then jacked it up trying to get the grease stain out. But I know a good way to do it now, after the fact!

Hi everyone
My Moto G4 Plus fell down recently and cracked the screen. Any idea on how much the replacement costs for the screen would be?
Thanks in advance
If you're in India, going by the listed price for last year's Moto G 3's listings for ONLY the GLASS screen is about ?1200-1400 on average across most online sellers. However if the damage is more extensive, and you'd need the replace the digitizer as well, most listings suggest about ?2000-2500 which mention LCD+digitizer assembly.
Given moto g4 got launched only a few months ago, you would have it under warranty. At one time Moto had officially offered a one time free replacement for its entire E, G and X range in a few markers, probably two years ago. But not sure if your specific purchase entitles you to damage protection, considering there is no such announcement in Indian market atleast.
Going by my own experience with a broken screen iPhone some years back, I'd suggest getting repair and replacement done through only the manufacturer, the only expense should be the replacement screen, warrant would entitle you to free service. In my case I'd tried saving on Apple's expensive spares and service, and ended up with a dead screen as the generic substitute was not capable of sealing the display as needed.
Here's a really helpful explanation about the three display components found on LCD touchscreen phones from an old iPhone forum, which helped me establish what was actually broken on my iPhone:
The screen is the glass on the front of the iPhone that you touch. It has the opening of the ear speaker at the top, and the opening for the home button at the bottom. It is real glass, is what usually cracks when you drop an iPhone. It looks like the entire front of an iPhone. It is just over half a millimeter (0.6 - 0.7 mm) thick clear glass with the top and bottom areas painted black.
The next layer is a thick layer of adhesive which bonds the front glass to the digitizer.
The digitizer is glass and interprets your finger touch movements so you can use the iPhone. The digitizer is just a bit larger in area than the picture size, you see when you use the iPhone.?*
The third component going in, is the LCD which is the video display screen, this displays the picture you see. The LCD size is nearly the size of the picture you see.

i enquired a local repair shop. He quoted me @ 40 for display.
in aliexpress you can found the display+digitizer for 50 USD... and there are a lot of tutorials on youtube to change the display...
with the moto G3 it was expensive and hard because the display was stick to the rest of the phone with a lot of glue.... this is not the case with the moto g4
Hi all. I cracked the glass on my g4. should I replace the glass for 6 bucks or the whole screen and assembly for 60. Phone works fine. I also ordered an honor 8 for cheap if I can't do it, if I can fix Moto cheap I may sell the honor or sell the Moto as is or fixed. So anyone have any suggestions?

Either one poses some risk. I thought the glass was glued to the lcd assembly. From what I've read it's best to replace the front frame, lcd and glass as one piece. There have been cases where people don't get the original assembly though and their phone doesn't have a working display at all after replacement.

It is glued to it and apparently it can be very difficult to replace just the glass. I just have a hard time spending 60 to replace the LCD assembly for 60 when I bought the phone for 125 new. Hmmm not sure what to do.

I would have no problem spending the 60 but I've read of too many people getting the lcd for another model or an after market screen and it still doesn't work. If everything else is OK and you're absolutely 100% sure it's the exact same assembly and not some knockoff crap then it might be worth it. If there is any doubt then I'd have to pass.
Hey, I have a question, are all the the LCD screen replacement the same, I notice a couple are less expensive than others like the 988- 993.. Are they interchangeable between models?
