Today I tried to install a Whitestone Dome glass screen protector on my Galaxy S23 ultra. When I pushed the phone into the jig I heard a snap and my phone screen cracked on one of the pegs that holds the phone in place.

Samsung quoted me $450 to fix. They say 'not under warranty'. Whitestone say 'not our responsibility'.

Can anyone suggest a good place to get it fixed up in SA that is very reputable and will do the job well. I don't care about the cost as long as it's under $450 and is not done by a sheister.

      Never considered it tbh, just since the phone cost so much already and I don't want to ruin it :(

      Thanks for the suggestion I appreciate it

    I'd suggest to go Samsung officially if it's just $30 more than independent repair shop.

    Samsung officially do it for $380 if it's just the glass repair and not whole display: https://www.samsung.com/au/support/galaxy-phone-screen-repai…

      Not sure if it's just the glass, but it might be https://imgur.com/a/anILlEj

        When my Note 10+ developed a fault with the display, I had it replaced by samsung under warranty.

        When they replaced it, they replaced the battery too. From what I've heard, this is standard practice for screen replacements with Note 10+ with samsung. Not sure if this is the same for the s23 ultra, but I think it might be

        It's probably worth spending that little bit extra to have it done by samsung

    Sell it broken

      Unfortunately I don't think I'd recoup any costs since I got it extremely cheap with the Samsung loyalty deal+coupons, I really only paid half of rrp..

    Did you buy with a Credit Card that offers Screen Replacement protection?

    • TeamSAXON on 23/12/2023 - 11:09

      No I don't use credit cards

      No I've had a different protector on. I bought the phone when it was released.
