Do the front glass need replacing or is there another way?

@oldturkey03 Thanks for the quick reply!

I do have tools to separate the digitizer from the front glass although my experience in separating the digitizer from the front glass is limited. I learn fast and have experience working with electronics. Worst comes to worst I would just get a new digitizer/glass unit and install it.

I use this phone for backpacking, cycling, hiking, climbing, etc. and dropped it a few times, chipping the body's paint and separating parts (corners) of the front glass from the digitizer. The back battery cover and USB charger cover have been changed several times already. The front glass is intact though; no breaks, no scratches. I'd like to keep the original front glass on the S5 because it's my experience that pretty much all replacement parts (for most phone brands) out there are subpar, even though they are "well-rated" or supposedly OEM, etc.

If I was to order a new front glass, what would be the difficulty of peeling/unglue the decal from it and place it on my glass?

I doubt the new glass u would be able to buy would be like the original gorilla glass...

U cant really peel anything from a replacement it's not vinyl its paint

That's what I thought. Thanks for the info! Much appreciated!
