Broken back glass panel

Broken back glass panel

So i broke my rear glass panel on my 4 day old s8+. Turns out these phones are so slick that they slip right out of your pocket. Mine hit a tiled floor on the edge, and the lower right corner of my screen cracked. all this while my case is coming in the mail...

"Na Jo (d3vour3r), Presently not a lot out there on the repair of the S8+ or part availability, posted some links below of what I found, may answer some of your questions. Also recommend you keep trying a search on the Net. as the phone ages more info./parts will become available. Just a thought, when you mentioned auto window repair resin, I wonder if you could perhaps pop into a auto windshield repair business and have them apply the resin on the screen to stop cracking as a temporary fix. Definitely use warranty/insurance if you can. Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

With very little Technical experience its possible to replace the back panel of a Galaxy. Most importantly, you have to be mindful of your NFC pad and antennas on the mid frame. Knowing how to properly use a heat gun also helps but the part is less then $50 for an OEM back. That comes with precut adhesive. Let me know if you'd like a link and some pointers. Best of Luck!

so, i shattered the back really badly and i called Samsung and they charged me $70 to replace the back with free shipping. i was so surprised it was that affordable that i made sure to re-explain to the representative that the whole back would need to be replaced. she said it was really $70, im stoked!

Just saying it should be easy to replace, I'd assume it's almost an identical process to the s6 and s7, however, be careful, if it's only 4 days old you should definitely still have a warranty. Best buy even covers the first 30 days if you got it there. I haven't seen any replacement parts for the s8 yet, and be careful trying to seal it. You may not still have waterproofing. Try claiming the warranty.

We need to start something with the galaxy s8 this is the second phone I got and the screen on it is broken like my last one after paying 200 dollars for this phone. I just got the phone yesterday and broke it yesterday dropped it and cracked. I am so mad and if this is a common problem we need to speak up and tell someone so someone can help us
