Hello everyone, i've seen there are a lot films for the screen.
I need to replace it, but as far as i've seen, HTC does one which comes 9.9€;
Should i take it??
Or should i go for the ebay's one?

are there any differences??
thanks!!
I suggest to get the cheapest on. I,ve ordered alot of screen protector for my phones and they are all about the same thing.
I've ordered those one at 0.99$ from China and do the Job #1. I change it as soon as the shiny finis is gone (after 3-4 month)
don't get it too thik because you lose touch screen sensibility.
i was just about to buy the htc's..
I don't know which flavor phone you have, but AT&T currently has a three pack online for $5.00
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...060233&q_manufacturer=htc&q_model=prod4000225
I ordered three packs as the phone is no longer online and I am sure these will be gone soon too.
Get the AT$T ones as they are a perfect fit. I bought some off eBay and while they fit they were just slightly larger overall. This makes them not sit flat on the screen giving you a slight bubble along the edge and you can feel the edge with your finger when you slide it across. I've lifted mine inadvertently a few time because of this.
mirror screen

That's exactly the reason i entered this thread. I have had a pair of mirror screen protector sitting in a drawer for moooonthssss. The previous one was my first, but it did the job and time forbiding, i left it alone. But tonight i took a few minutes and installed the first of my mirrored screen protectors!!!
WOW
i don't get why all the others are still available. People you won't believe it!
I didn't pick any specific ebay seller. Just hit the cheapest i saw( i also bought the tv out thingy from the same seller, haven't tried that one out either)
You may read around that it darkens the screen a bit. That may well be so but no remarkably enough to stop you from using it!

Update.
All good, apart from direct sunlight. Everyphone suffers in that area, mirror screen protector sucks worse!
Honestly get the Zagg ones. I dropped my HTC Touch Pro 2 twice, while running, face DOWN, and it skidded for like 5 feet. I've got scratches on the inside of the phone, on the case, but the screen itself is perfect. Best money I ever spent.

I second the Zagg. Garanteed protection. I am done with those cheap dozen for a penny protectors that last maybe a month, bubble up, don't fit, peal off, etc, etc... Sure they are cheap, but what a waste of time...
I typically go with the full body style from Zagg to provide an almost complete protection of the phone and enhance the style. You can buy them from Zagg.com, Amazon.com or if you prefer the touchy feely you can typically get them at Best Buy. Come with an applicator spray and squeegie to ensure there are NO bubbles!
Just my 2¢...
So today at work I pulled my phone out of my back pocket and this is what I saw! Very heart breaking, especially for the first day in the new Ebay case! At least I have the warranty with Best Buy so they will ship it off and fix it! Dropping it off Saturday and should have it back in 5-7 days! Anyone got a loaner phone they wanna let me use in the mean time? Just kidding!
Backpocket? Did you sit on it.

It was my back but I was standing and then squatted, then I remembered it in my pocket so I pulled it out! That's when I saw this. I'm thinking I must have bumped into something before I squatted, that looks like a direct hit crack.
Hopefully your butt didn't do that. Unless you have been watching buns of steel. Then I guess you would know it was working...
Sent from my mobile typewriter.
You must had bumped into something, hard. The screen is pretty durable (at least in the iPhone 4S vs Samsung Galaxy S II Drop test).
Advice: Keep your phone in or left, or right, pocket at all times. Keep the screen facing inward (towards you).
Good thing you got that warranty with Best Buy! For me, I use not a case nor have a good "warranty". I just never break my products! (Went for a year with an unprotected iPhone 4 and it still looks like new - just a few scratches which you cannot see when the screen is on!)
At least you did not break the digitizer! Damn that must have been a nasty hit because Gorilla Glass is supposed to be damned near breakable like that, I would have thought if anything the digitizer would have broke before the gorilla glass. Even my Captivate when I broke the screen, the gorilla glass in that phone looks brand new just the digitizer spider cracked lol
Cheers,
Charlie

Same here.. except one day I dropped my iPhone 4 after having it for 1 year and 3 month.. screen shattered after that drop.. the phone was like new still >.<.. but one drop.. game over..
Warranty is just too expensive to buy.. for me at least.
Had phone since the Sunday it was released...screen has developed a crack at the bottom, just above the capac. buttons going completely across the screen.
Everything still works fine, but is obnoxious to look at.
Heres the thing... (and I know people will doubt this) but I haven't dropped the phone at all. Not even set it down roughly. This morning, everything was normal...went to go to work and put it in my bag by itself (correction - only other thing in there was a book and a wool hat). Got to work, took my phone out and BLAM, crack stretching from one side to the other. No marks around the bumpers or anything. I'm completely nonplussed at what could have happened. My thinking is flex *could* have done this, but that seems like it'd need a hell of a lot of pressure to do.
Well, ATT won't cover it, samsung won't cover it and the quoted repair cost is $200. Deductible for ATT phone insurance is...you guessed it...$200 (or $250 can't remember).
Anyone have any luck with these flybynight screen repair shops? I don't think they'd have the parts in stock for the phone since it is new and kind of a fringe product.
I'm seriously pissed...hung around with my iphone 3g for 3 years waiting for a good phone to upgrade to..finally blow my upgrade and a week later blam.
Rant!
You have a warranty just send it in to get fixed

It should be obvious it wasn't dropped.
just take it back under warranty and get it replaced.

Yes warranty would work as long as it doesn't look dropped down.

I called Samsung on the phone and they told me it wouldn't be covered under warranty... I did explain to them that it hadn't been dropped or anything. Should I call and pester them again?

I would take it to a different AT&T location and see if they'll replace it. Sounds like you got a rubbish device. I can't imagine they would replace it, as long as it's obvious it hasn't been dropped.

Some photos of the damage/device, I have more of just about every angle. I cannot find *any* indication of external damage which makes sense, but still the screen is jacked.
I bet the book fid that. That happened to our recrptionist to her iphone. A book in the back pack. She is a college studemt.

I would imagine the book definitely did that. Don't let them know that though ;-)

A paperback book could do that? Thats actually very concerning to me as a consumer. I'm extremely cautious with my electronics (ask my wife, she will eyeroll ) and to have something like this occur without any strenuous contact being made with the phone is appalling.
First Samsung phone, and unfortunately will most likely be my last. It looks and operates flawlessly and was exactly what I wanted... but I can't for the life of me see spending that kind of money on something that can essentially break through such light use.

buy a replacement from ebay and fix it yourself. shouldnt be too difficult, I have replaced my iphones and my sensations screen and they pretty much were the same
I tried looking on ebay for a replacement, but perhaps I'm searching for the wrong thing...
can you share a link?
After calling just about every ATT store in town and explaining the problem, I found one willing to exchange it for a new one no questions asked.
I'm still worried about the durability of the phone since nothing major occurred that should cause this amount of damage. Hopefully I just had a defective screen or something and this one will last me a long, long time.
i carry my note in my pocket (I'm a big guy) it rides in the front pocket all day was case-less for the first week i mean i worked played and goofed off with it there can't even tell. i think u just got a bad glass display it is mass produced product and defects do happen.
I myself was very impressed with the build quality of the phone how sturdy it felt despite its lack of depth. So i'd just be aware and keep ur books away from it
should probably just start storing my books on the damn thing

Im guessing you just had a faulty screen. Gorilla glass can take some serious pressure, and is even pretty damn good at shock resistance. I've dropped my old captivate and infuse countless times without a case and never cracked a screen. Hell, last summer my captivate took a kick from a full grown horse when it was in my pocket, and the screen survived. The hoof hit the back of my captivate, bent the backplate and battery, but the screen was fine. It saved me from a huge bruise, that's for sure.
I think you will be fine with a new device, because it sounds like a faulty screen. Don't let one faulty Samsung ruin Samsung for you forever. They make great devices, and their screens are matched by none. Other manufacturers are just as likely do have a defective device, you just got really unlucky with your first note.

I have already dropped my note face down on a corner (it was in a speck case and had a clear screen protector on) and knock on wood it was fine. It is very possible that its just a faulty screen. I would pesster the heck out of at&t and samsung til i got a new phone. They will budge you just have to be persistant.

I am anal about my devices also, and the thought of just throwing it in a bag makes me cringe! Always front left pocket for me, no exceptions!

No offense, but if you stuffed your Note in a bag with a book or anything else, you're not really that cautious with your electronics. There's a reason I have never damaged any of my phones or tablets. It's because I don't do things like that.

I'm not sure where you got the idea that I "stuffed" it in a bag. The bag in question was a messenger style bag with separate internal pockets, phone was in one, book in the other. Book was a paperback (you can actually see it in my photos) about 200 pages thick.
UPDATE:
Second phone screen cracked. Top of screen near the front camera. Had it less than 24 hours - took it back and they exchanged it again with no issues.
Got it at around 4pm, took it home, put it in case (SGP) and put it to charge, went to the gym and then came home and did some programming for a few hours before bed. Phone stayed on charger the whole time. Next morning I put (note: did not "stuff") the phone into my right front pocket of my jeans (normal jeans, not skinny or anything). It was the only thing in the pocket, had a wallet in my back right pocket and some disposable eye contacts in my left front pocket. Walked about 3 blocks to a lecture checked email on the phone - no crack. sat with it in the pocket (front right) for about an hour and a half, then got up and walked home. Got home took the phone out...crack! About an inch long from the very edge of the glass towards the middle of the phone.
I can't make this stuff up. Took it to the store and they replaced it for me again. Manager said something about maybe they got tussled around during shipment or packing.
Both cracked were white devices. The phone I have now is a black one.
I'm trying to think of reasons why this could have occurred twice. First time could possibly have been from being in the bag, but I wasn't throwing the bag around or anything like that. Second time? Who knows... if walking with a phone in your pocket causes it to break...
I am super thankful that I found a store willing to do the exchanges, and I do love this phone...but what the heck!
I was cutting the grass today and when I finished I noticed my screen had a hairline crack across it. Everything still works but the crack really bothers me. Since this is an accessory how would I get it repaired? Does LG offer that?

You can chat with a support rep on LG's website. You should be able to RMA it and get it fixed but I'm not sure how much it would cost.

Sorry to hear that. I saw a similar post in the Gear Live forum, Gr8Danes was cutting the grass and ended up with a cracked screen. I have worn mine on weekends when I cut the grass, but since these 2 posts will take it off. Good luck with LG customer service. The Gear Live owner ended up talking with Samsung and they wanted $160 for a screen replacement. Hope they take care of you since you are an earlier owner/adapter to their first AW watch.

Thanks. The sad part is I was getting ready to throw it on Swappa so I can get the moto 360...
Reviving old thread.
I just cracked my screen from the bottom left to the top right as well, while cutting the grass as well. Did you get the screen fixed? If so, how much did it cost?
As this is three people with the exact same issue, please DON'T cut the grass with it on!!
What is with the common thread here being "Cutting the Grass"??
I don't get it.....
Are you people using mowers?
Finally I've a valid excuse
I never got mine fixed, sold it for $40 on swappa.

I sent mine in to LG for a price quote on a repair; they want $111 to fix it. Considering I paid $29 net ($79 Best Buy Black Friday - $50 Google Play credit) for it, I think I'll pass and just wait for the next fire sale.

I paid full price, but the crack doesn't impede the usage at all, so I just deal with it. The only precautions I take are not wearing it in the shower and try not to get the face wet.
Cutting grass hazardous to smart watches
I too noticed a crack in my LG G watch after cutting the grass. Is it the vibration? I don't think I banged it up against anything...
I'm never going to cut the grass ever with my watch on...
They need to add a warning symbol with someone cutting grass on the product box.
This is weird. I've dropped my watch countless times, Smacked it against steel tables, and I've only gotten slight dings in the side. Haven't cracked it yet.
I wear my watch when I cut my grass and it hasn't cracked.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
I don't know if this is very usefull but I bought a protective tempered glass for my watch.
So if I crack it I'll just replace it and not the real screen.
I found mine on a cheap chinese website for less than $10 so I think it worth it.
(only problem : the glass is dirty quickly than the original screen)
Getting my LG Watch R back today. Had to sent it in for a cracked screen repair from, you can guess it, Cutting the grass. Must either be from the vibration of the mower, or possibly the weed eater throwing rocks into it. The repair cost was $80.00 to replace the screen.
Moral of the story people, please take your watch off when doing any sort of yard work.
Mine cracked last night. I leaved it on my side table and this morning I found it with a crack (maybe somebody took it at night and went to cut the grass with it).
Does anybody know where to buy a replacement display? I found the instructions to change it, and it doesn't seem to be too hard.
Gas mower or electric?
Might as well ask here seriously, has anyone bicycled while wearing this watch? Seems to me the micro-vibrations one would get from a mower would be similar (and as damaging) when riding a bike (at least without front shocks).
A bit concerned about mixing the two, but it is probably inevitable at some point.
This is interesting.
Yeah,If your phone is out of warranty, the LG will not offer the service.
You can buy the original screen at Amazon,eBay or HCQS.
Anything I can do that may work?
Try applying a liquid screen protector. It might five cover the scratches
I had my LG v30 for five days at home. Never pocketed with anything and today I noticed three little scratched dead center top of phone. Wondering if I can trade it in. I had my HTC one m8 for 3.5 years before I got my first scratch. T-Mobile service.
Damn
Last weekend I get also the first scratch over night.
More than 1 inch long and very deep. I can hang in with my nail easily.
Did one of you anything to reduce the scratch?
Gorilla Glass is such a huge disappointment. Lots of hype over absolutely nothing.
I've owned many many phones and I love my LG v30 but it's scratches easier than any phone I've ever had
Wow... I dropped my phone, guess it slid over floor and scratches galore. Looks terrible, tempted to sell this, I just bought this refurbished a week ago. Actually looked up prices and can more than break even by selling it, though idk how much it's worth with all the scratches now. I had 2 s7es over the year and never got scratches like this and I dropped those all the time.
First thing I always do is buy/put on a screen protector.
I've had moderately successful results on wristwatches, and one smartphone with watch polishing compound.
It requires immaculate masking off of anything you don't want gunked up, a steady hand, a decently torquey rotary tool (think Dremel tool) , and time.
your mileage *will* vary.
