Broken digitizer glass, where can I buy???

So, the first time I drop my beloved TP2, the glass on the digitizer cracked big time. I have the insurance, but money is tight, so does anyone know where I can buy the parts and give the repair a shot myself? Verizon told me the warrenty was void as soon as it dropped, so I guess I really can't make it worse, and if it saves me a few bucks, well, that would be nice. Thanks all.

Same here on a Sprint Touch Pro2

. I found some information online for dismantling the TP2 but I am not confident if I can do the same!

Sorry to hear about your TP2, you can find parts for most phones at cnn.cn. It looks like they have a digitizer for $23.99, not sure if that is the correct one or not. http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-pro2-digitizer-p-6576.html

Good luck.

I did the same thing...
Mine dropped on a stair and hit the side of the phone.. cracked a big V into the screen and now its spreading.

Phone works like normal but has the a cracks in the screen.

I'm pretty confident I can do the work, and I guess if I fail, then it's $50 and a few day wait until the new TP2 arrives. I have a backup phone standing by, so I can live without it for a few days if necessary. One would think they would use stronger material....literally this was a fall of about 18", I've never had a phone break from something so small.

I wonder if that part will work...

They told me its 100.00 to replace...

they told you 50.00?

That's through Asurion, but I also pay like $7.99 a month for the lower deductable. If I had the $4.99 plan, it would be $100.

the above listed link is not the correct digitizer. that one is for the euro model or the us gsm model. see the front camera hole? this is the correct digitizer. complete with touch screen and a tool.
