A life saver!
By Brent Fulgham
My daughter's iPad Mini fell from her arms and onto the concrete driveway. It landed on a corner, causing the entire screen to shatter.

The price to repair the unit at Apple would have been around $250, which is not far off from the cost of a brand new unit. I decided to try repairing the unit myself, and ordered this part.

I like that several things about this particular part (as opposed to some of the other items available on Amazon):
1. This is an actual Apple repair part, not a counterfeit part of dubious quality.
2. The glass has replacement adhesive already attached to the back of the screen.
3. The glass (digitizer) has the complete home button and control chipset attached to the screen, meaning that replacing the unit is as easy as unplugging two small ribbon cables and then plugging in the new part. No soldering needed. The cheaper versions of this part do NOT have the chip set attached.

The repair process was fairly easy (although required dealing with some very small parts), especially with step-by-steps (such as [...] available on-line. All told, it only took an hour or so to get things back up and running.

Based on my experience, I have two suggestions:
1. The instructions (online) talk about the heat-activated adhesive. But they don't mention that the adhesive on the glass part has a thin plastic cover that needs to be removed using a utility knife or other device to separate the plastic from the adhesive.
2. The blow to the device caused some damage to the underlying LCD unit. It doesn't render the screen unusable by any means, it's my daughters device after all, but it does create a small area where the colors are not quite correct. If you are going to the trouble to replace the glass screen, it's probably worth spending the extra $50 to get a new LCD screen.

I am very pleased with this part and would buy it again should another iPad get damaged.

Great!
By Benjamen Alford
IC was presoldered on adn the adhesive was also already applied. Much easier than soldering the 40 points. Great product.

Use caution when ordering this
By ejadam
I ordered the screen replacement, came fast. I was excited to have the part so I could fix my iPad. When I opened the box, the screen was cracked. Yes, cracked. I was disappointed. I called the customer service number and explained to then that I received my item broken. I thought it was going to be a simple replacement. No it wasn't I was told I had to send then pictures of the box it came in and a picture of the broken iPad screen. Once I did this they would determine whether to replace it or not. I had to sign a affidavit and wait for an email regarding my replacement which I have yet to receive from them. All this over something that wasn't my fault to begin with and for the price you pay for the part is almost not worth the hassle.

Best screen I have installed so far
By Kevin S.
I have been replacing screens for iPhones as a side business since the 1st gen iPhone back in 2007. This has been the most OEM like screen I have ever installed, especially for the iPhone 4. The glass is silky smooth and feels like it has the oleophobic coating just like the OEM's (it doesn't, but feels like it, and oil wipes off a little easier than one that doesn't). The display is bright, the proximity sensor works better than the original (it actually works). Overall I'm very glad that I got this screen for myself when my screen shattered after a rough fall while snowboarding. I'll absolutely recommend that any customers I have that want to replace their screens go with this one, even if they had a black iPhone.

Note that this screen is only for the AT&T iPhone 4, as mentioned by the reviewer below.

Too many defects
By ML
This is the 5th LCD replacement I buy and install. Having a house full of teenagers, the LCDs are a big commodity in my household.
This is the worst quality LCD I received so far. There is a white stripe at the top of the LCD, A finger like stain in the middle of the screen and a couple of dead pixels.
I'm not expecting Apple quality on these replacement models but I expect them to at least be defect free.

Quality product that installed easily *Ordered from seller EPC USA*
By KR
NOTE: I purchased this from Amazon seller "EPC USA". I cannot vouch for other sellers offering this product.

This screen came with a set of tools, most of which were useful. The screwdriver began stripping toward the end of the installation, but lasted for the entire installation.

I installed this screen in about 20 minutes using a youtube instructional video. Be very careful with the connectors. The screen has two flat connectors, which must be carefully aligned and pressed onto the phone connector very firmly. If the connector is even slightly loose, the screen or sensor may not work properly, and you will have to disassemble the phone again.

The screen picture quality is very good... only a very small difference in color reproduction from the original screen. Sharpness (regarding the iphone4) is the same.

Touchscreen performance is just as good as the original screen.

I did notice that the replacement is not as fingerprint-resistant as the original screen (not a major problem).

I had to replace the screen twice, both times using this product. The first replacement screen cracked upon dropping..... and the replacement glass does not appear to be as durable as the original iphone glass.

The screen does seem to be very slightly thicker. The Home button is slightly more recessed in this screen than it was in the original screen. For this, the lower durability, and the lack of fingerprint resistance - I give this 4 stars instead of 5.

Overall, this is a quality product and a much better DIY alternative to paying $100+ for a replacement screen, or $300+ for a replacement phone.
