Replacement Screen Cover? (Not entire screen)

[gthing]

I was wondering if there was any place I could get a replacement screen cover, but not the entire screen (which looks to run ~$70). It seems like there is a piece of plastic over the screen itself and I was wondering if there is a way to replace JUST that piece of plastic.

Mine is scratched to hell.

Thanks.

I thought the screen was one unit. I haven't heard of a cover over the screen besides the one that comes on the phone from the factory, which I removed before using the phone. I've had my tilt for about 6 months or longer and dont have any scratches on the screen, well some tiny light ones but then again the phone gets a ride in my pocket alone without anything in there to damage it.

edit:... oh you wanted the actual touch screen... buy the one in your link :dunno:

I guess the question is - if your screen is scratched - which piece is actually the top most? I assume it is the digitizer/touch screen layer.

Yeah, thats how most touch screens are setup if not all. They're just the touch sensor matrix which is clear infront of the LCD panel.

i got a screen cover with my tytn 2 which im sure are very cheap to pick up less then $1 but i mainly have a problem with dust getting under the side of my screen im sure you all know where i mean :P

im sure a screen protector costs less than £1 i got one through with my phone but i couldnt put in on without bubbles so i left it and i have noticed i have scratches on my screen being left alone aside my wallet in the pocket of my jeans. but im sure a good polish with dvd cleaner or even brasso (works wonders on psp screens) could clean up those scratches... i recommend dvd cleaner cause brasso would make a mess and also get down the sides of the screen like random crap does anyway... i found a part of a leaf there a few times you would have thought such a big opening would have been sealed my htc?

Having replaced my LCD, I can tell you that the plastic screen is indeed part of the LCD, and is not a removable component.

I have it my hand right now, and it seems there's no way to break apart the lcd into its components (lcd, digitizer, and plastic).

If you're determined to fix it, you'd have to buy a new screen.

if we speaking about the thin film, i recommend you either buy original htc or 3m product the size is 2.8"

the dvd cleaner is great idea to clean as one of the boys suggested

buy an anti-glare - so u can use it outdoor natural light conditions

get a rough texture if u use the stylus for handwriting

these are some tips and good luck man
