Buying replacement glass?

---

This might not count as an accessory, but I'm looking to buy a replacement 0003 glass for my Evo. This isn't a separation issue; rather my friend dropped it and cracked the glass. I know you can buy replacement glass and digitizer for the iPhone for about $15, but the only thing I can find for the Evo is $130! That includes the full upper part of the phone, but I don't think I need all that. Unless that's all you can get, of course.

Even the places I know of like Repair Universe and DealExtreme that have other HTC parts, don't have anything for the Evo.

Any leads would be appreciated.

Thanks,

TJ

I assume he's no longer your friend now.

If its still within your 30 days call and add the insurance! There isn't any other option but the $130 piece, right now at least. More will become available but that's your only option now.

I got it on the day after the launch, so it's been longer than 30 days.

I guess $130 is better than $600, or whatever the replacement cost is.

Thanks.

Any news?

What did you end up doing? I just shattered mine.

u can get the replacement glass on ebay:

but it's way easier to replace the whole glass+lcd assembly:

obviously way more expensive though.

if you get the glass+lcd replacement you have to get the right type, there are 2 types (one for novatec and one for epson, they have different connectors). i think that seller has both types but check with him first
