Akshay00smart, I'm not sure about the glass part but you can buy a replacement back piece that I think includes the camera glass.

http://stellatech.com/site_stellatec...s.php?cid=1095

The item number is GH98-16686A,R price is €10.87

I would send the company an email and ask to make sure.

I do have an issue with the scratched camera glass. However, changing the cover won't solve it since the cover doesn't include the glass.

OK,
Here are two possible parts from one website.
https://www.globaldirectparts.com/UR...sng6087205.htm

http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Sam...sng6087120.htm

The problem is that the site doesn't sell to individuals, they do wholesale only.

Hope some can point to the right place.

Cheers.
Abdul

i think a service cetre would replace the glass relatively cheaply and it is something you could ask for a price on over the phone, and they would probably fix while you wait or at most within 1 or 2 days

Hmm, Not entirely sure but if you look at the second photo it shows the glass part.

Yep, internal back cover does include the glass. However, the above first photo includes only the external back cover which doesn't include the glass.

i know this reply will not benefit the op but just want to keep this on record for someone else who might stuble here from google,

today i removed my old 5230's frame and tried to replace it with i9000's (it was of the same size) but when i tore the piece down, i came to know that the "frame" was attachedc to the body, like this (the silver covering cane be removed) m talking about the "scratched part".. so no way to remove i shattered it to pieces and kept my old frame on the camera and tried to assemble the device, it dint assemble properly, and thus has a slight opening at the top right side(above the power button)... other things are working fine, the camera is no longer blurry (although i still need to test it in sunlight, will do it tommmo and report back) .. so in short , dont do it unless necessary, replace it with another back body, it'l save your hassle ...
