Front glass of my nexus cracked. Fell from approx less than half feet from my track pant pockets
The LCD display is all working well I just can't stand the crack I take my phone out.
It's there any replacement for the glass other than the LG's LCD and digitizer assembly? only the front panel ? I meant only the glass

Ouch...did you just get the phone? I noticed the factory SP is still on. Your best bet is to just send it to LG for a repair. Doubt you will save much, if anything, from repairing it yourself. Parts are expensive and rare.

As far as I know that may not be possible, because unlike old lcd touch screens, where the glass cover and lcd assembly are separate units, the newer phones have them as almost single unit. This gives more effective touch control and cause the high price for display. You may have to change the whole display even though your digitizer may be intact.
it is so unfortunate that our marvel cant even take such a small fall:crying:
On the same subject, any trusty online stores what we can buy the display unit?

The glass and LCD are glued together. I doubt you can only replace the glass.
I'm wondering if we should get tougher cases

No.
I just ordered the rear cover to keep as a back up for my nexus 4 from http://www.etradesupply.com/lg/android-models/lg-nexus-4-e960-parts.html?limit=40 it looks like is the cover from newer nexus 4 without the glitter pattern but If I ever have an accident with the rear cover I'll have a replacement in hand so I can repair it quickly.
A cheapie $1 TPU cover from eBay would've prevented that. It's a damn shame to see something like this happen, especially when it was only a two-feet drop.
Were you rocking it naked or with a case?
Also, the glass and LCD are glued together so you won't get out of this situation without shelling over $100 at the very least and getting it fixed yourself.

Anyone experience this? I see minor abrasions on my screen only where the s-view window touches the screen. Any suggestions to remove the abrasions or remedy the issue?

This hasn't happened to me yet but now I'm paranoid. Does anyone know of an armor style flip case? I dropped mine the the other day and scratched the aluminium on the bottom right corner. Heartbreaking.
I literally only just got an S-View cover a day ago after being caseless for a while.... I do have a screen protector on though and all I notice is the S-View square does make an imprint on the protector, If I had no protector on then I guess it would make a little scratch, It seems the plexiglass on the S-View is slightly raised/corners a tad sharp. Manufacturing issue most probably.
I have many small abrasions in this square window area. Has anyone received a solution from calling samsung? Verizom won't do squat.

Which S-View are you guys using? I have the wireless charging one and like I mentioned I have not experienced this issue, although time will tell I guess. Also how long did it take for the scratches to start appearing? Edit: Nevermimd the last question, literally a day. Sorry I didn't notice.
I have the normal S-View (Non Wireless) -- The packaging on mine is a little bit older than the other colours that were for sale in Phones4U near me. (mine is black)
I noticed the imprint on the screen protector as soon as I had closed the cover. And felt around the edges which were slightly raised.
I've had mine for a couple of months now.

Which model, wireless or non? This is disheartening. I'm scared to even close the damn thing now. It's been a week for me and nothing happened yet, but a big risk to take on a $750 phone
It really is a shame. I'm waiting for a glass screen cover to take on the scratches from now on until samsung hopefully recalls or resolves this issue.

Indeed it is, many small abrasions from the two touching repeatedly. I thought the new iteration of gorilla glass was a lot stronger than this, but apparently it is not.

Yes indeed!!!
Got a official S View case (black) put it on my note 3 and within 2-3 wks started noticing a very fine straight line across the screen at the bottom of the s view window, tried rubbing, cleaning, polishing, with NO luck. Bought a spigen glass tr and haven't used the damn S view cover again. Sucks spending $65 for a cover that ruins the glass...
I can tell that its not only the S-view cover that damage the screen, also the original Flip wallet cover damage the screen. The carveing for the visit-cards edge, will also damage the screen. I have a fine straight horizontal line on my screen at the bottom of the visit,card carveing. From the middle and out to the right side of the screen, then vertical all the way up followed again by the visitcard-carveing, then at the top of the carveing I have again a fine horizontal line from the right side of the screen to about the middle of the screen.
Screenshot where I tryed my best to follow where these lines are:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/r4u1k3ydln9yivt/tempFileForShare.jpg
Its pretty much impossible to see unless you got some finger grease on the screen, but with the s-pen it feels like crossing the atlantic....
Question now is, what els is there... If it wasnt a original cover there would be nothing to do...
Hmmm. well I have been using the S-View cover for several months now and my screen has zero scratches. I keep the phone in my bag or trouser pockets and no problems at all.
When I bought the Note 3 on launch day back in September, I asked about the S-View cover and was told stock would be delayed as original stock was sent back to manufacturer because of quality control issues. I am wondering if there was an issue with earlier models of the case related to scratching. Just a theory. I used a standard S-View cover at first then replaced it for the wireless charging version, again this was further delayed before stocks were available so maybe there have been significant improvements.
So, it is possible to have this case protect your phone without the need for an ugly screen protector. I have never used one of those on any of my numerous touchscreen devices over the years, I maintain as long as you take good care of the phone it does not need one. For those that work/live in dusty environments I guess it's a good idea but day to day the S-View case on its own is sufficient in my opinion.
I have the s-view cover for a month now and screen is still absolutely perfect.

The view cover scratched my phone in just a week, so I had to buy a screen protector.
The scratches are located exactly where the screen of the cover is located.
I guess that's because I've answered the calls with the cover closed, and by pressing it, the existing dust made his job :-\
The Protectors..
Sorry to hear all those screen scratches .. well at least they are not broken into pieces .. I said that because last time I read about Note 3 screen replacement (gorilla glass) it will cost around $250..
The first thing I was proposed by the Samsung sales when I bought Note 3 was to buy a screen (film) protector, I hesitated previously but accept to buy it anyway because I dont have time to argue. At home I didnt really care about the film protector because as soon as I saw Spigen release the Glass.tr tempered glass protector I bought it from local reseller and replace the original film protector with Glass.tr. and then I realized that the old film protector was still reusable so I put the old film protector on top of Spigen Glass.tr.. Lolz but it worked! .. so my phone now using SView cover with double screen protector
I also pre-ordered Spigen S View slim cover to replace my old S View cover (I need it to protect all sides (edges) of my Note 3 as Spigen said Glass.tr will broke if hit by its edges). Soon my Note 3 hopefully will be protected on all corners.. up .. bottom. .. and all edges.. hopefully.. please God bless me. :angel:
And put their own, or is the one the Op2 comes with good protection enough?
I took it off to replace with a spigen hd one. But it is a good one. Should have left it. Haha
Yeah I replaced mine with a glass one. The one on it is not to bad though. I just like glass protection and the feel.
Took it off today to replace with tempered glass, but it's OK protection for free.

Same as everyone else - I replaced it today after maybe 6-7 days and threw tempered glass on there. Smudge-free now.
Same. Replaced with tempered glass after a few days..prefer the feel and protection of tempered glass.

I have the tempered glass one for it from one plus but will wait a few days. Hard to believe it will be smudge free after I put it on. I was just concerned taking the free one off that it would leave some kind of residue.
It's a piece of cheap plastic which does no favors for either protection or screen clarity. Replace it with tempered glass, the difference is HUGE.

I have a pthink tempered protector coming, what's the best way to remove the original and replace with the tempered without dust and stuff getting underneath? Last time I tried I failed miserably and frisbeed the glass on into the wall
I just dislike screen protectors. Never had a problem with scratches on any phone in the past.
I ended up taking it off and put on tempered glass, I recommend it.

Which one did you install? Really smudge free?
Anyone installed the Non Glass screen protector from OnePlus ?
I have it and I'm wondering if it's better than the factory installed one.
I replaced mine with one of the Orzly tempered glass protectors, and it's WAY better than the stock. The stock one is fine, but it's a fingerprint/smudge magnet, and it's not as smooth as a glass protector. I've used Orzly protectors on all my devices and they're fantastic. The one I had on my 1+1 saved the screen after a drop in a parking lot. The protector took the impact and shattered instead of the screen.
Took off the free one in 24 hours. It was good except it was a fingerprint magnet. So many smudges. Happy with tempered glass.
I removed the stock, then applied the orzly tempered glass right after. Definite improvement!

The easy way of getting this explained is this. The phone comes with a thin layer that is OK at best. If you have a flip case then you might be happy with that but if your screen is going to be exposed then purchase a tempered glass 1. If your going to invest money in a device and it quite obvious that you will be looking at the screen a lot then protect it. Its not like it's gonna break the bank and you will never worry. ☺

Where are the parts for sale? Got my front glass also broken. Saw the front glass already on AliExpress. But think the back glass in front of the back camera will break when unmounting. Any suggestions where to buy the front and back glass?

My cases showed up yesterday from Amazon. Still waiting the 28th for the phone. I ordered it along with a tempered glass protector from vzw. It's a shame really how bad this phone has turned out to be for some people.
Verizon stores have the Tech21 cases which I love.... Blew $30 on cases on Amazon I'll be returning. They also have tempered glass screen protectors. $65 for case and screen protector.. A tad overpriced, but peace of mind is priceless?

I will be getting my phone by October 30th to dubai and tampered screen,case,covers will be here by 26th phone will be delivered home by DHL really exicted
Sad to see somebody destroying a new device.
I just wonder when he broke the screen how high was that drop.
In real life what is the worst drop you may subject your device to maybe 4 or 5 feet on to concrete, this drop looked worse to me.
Holy cow!!!! That's crazy! I ordered the rhino bumper, glass protector and a bestskinsever.com matte back cover. Hope that's enough! Based on this video, I'm thinking maybe not!
Crazy. You drop glass and it breaks. Why are people so enamored by these.
Not one part of this is a controlled experiment that tells you anything. Could be a loose connection in that unit etc. Until a lab does a test don't give it another thought. Put a case, don't put a case but don't put a case because of this guy's video.

Because it fares poorer than other phones so far. Yeah, 1 non-scientific test isn't conclusive, but it's not a good start.

If I'm going to watch a video like this, id pick one that didnt have a jump cut after they drop the phone before it's picked up lol.
Just dropped mine 2 feet and the screen cracked, stopped responding, and started turning purple. Strange thing is it had a tempered glass protector on it that is undamaged. Very disappointed in the screen on this. I don't use cases and I've never broken a phone, especially not one where the tempered glass protector was undamaged.
I've seen TONS of phones with broken screens and intact screen protectors.
People that think they help with drop protection are living in a fantasy land. Why would that tiny piece of tempered glass do anything on a drop? I'll answer my own question by saying it doesn't. Anyone that works at a phone repair center knows that firsthand. It is a placebo.
They do help with scratch protection though, obviously.

That Gorilla Glass 1,2,3,4...100 is just a marketing scheme, and that piss poor back glass design on Pixel just makes it worse
Obviously you've never dropped a phone and had that tiny piece of glass break while the screen is intact. It's happened to me over a dozen times as well as my wife and probably countless others. Just because you've never experienced it doesn't mean it never happens.

I have indeed. But none of those drops would have cracked the MUCH thicker phone screen anyway.
It is basic physics that a 0.2mm piece of glass is going to break before one 5x+ thicker.
There simply is no real shock absorption in that amount of glass.
Can definitely help with scratches and nicks caused by abrasive impact though.
