I got my Z2 yesterday and unfortunately dropped it later that evening and the glass on the back shattered.. Does anybody know how much it would cost me to replace the glass on the back? is there something i can buy and replace it myself?

I doubt there's anyone out there right now who does it, unless maybe you live in Europe. I'd try contacting Sony, see what they say.

I've been around a few places in my city today and one of them could legally repair Sony devices but that would cost me over 400 dollars..

I suggest repairing it yourself. Back should be easily repairable. The front is much harder..

Yeah, I've seen some videos of the z1's back being replaced.. Doesn't look that hard, I just need to buy the back for Z2 but I can't find it online.. I probably need to wait a few weeks.

Thanks for link although I don't think I'll get that one.. I think they forgot to add the "A" on the back... :laugh:

Yeah i noticed that now, you should contact seller and ask some questions, after all he is stating its "genuine". Im pretty sure i saw some more of these, maybe on amazon not ebay.

You can pay attention to witrigs.com. They do well on Sony replacement parts, i purchased the cover flaps there and works well.

Thanks for link, the price is good. Can't see any sony or xperia branding on the cover in the pictures, sent a mail to them asking if it's genuine..
