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.

Great Batteries!
By bkbz
I have used these batteries for a couple of weeks now. I can tell no difference from the original Canon batteries other than these last longer. I use 2 batteries at a time (grip), and have snapped ~1,000 shots without the battery bar going down once.

These batteries are packaged well and shipped very fast.

It took about 2 hours to get to a full charge out of the box. If you are looking for T2i batteries, look no further!

**UPDATE**

I have had these batteries for a few months and still feel the same way as mentioned above. I have been using the batteries without the grip (1 battery at a time) and seems to get about 20-30% more shots than the stock Canon battery. Recharge time is about 2-3 hours from dead. Spend your savings on lenses, not "Canon" branded batteries.

Great battery life, but keep a watch handy
By kronabus199a
I just bought this battery, and decided to do a side-by-side comparison between a 3 week old Canon battery, and this brand new battery.

First off, both batteries were tested on a Canon T3i, at 1920x1080 24fps, with a Sandisk Ultra 16GB class 10 and a Transcend 16GB class 10 as the SD cards of choice. Also, both batteries were tested with continuous recording, 'til each battery died.

The Canon battery lasted approximately 90 minutes, while the Photive battery lasted approximately 86 minutes. So, it holds up within just a few minutes against a brand name battery, which is amazing for the price.

However, there is a catch. The battery meter does NOT show the battery life. It will go from full to dead with absolutely no indication. Not even the halfway mark. As it states in the title, keep a watch/timer handy to keep track of your battery life.

Other than the guessing game you may play with its life, it's well worth the price tag given how long it lasts. And the fact that you can shoot 2 full 16GB cards worth of video without changing batteries is big plus.

I would recommend going with the STK battery, as it lasts about a minute longer, and costs $2 less. And neither of these batteries report to the battery meter.

Photive LP-E8 battery
By TA Greene
Great buy. I purchased this product as a second battery for a Canon T2i camera. This battery does a good job. It operated my camera for over 700 photos. 100+ photos were with flash and auto focus operation. Recharging this product in the Canon charger was the same as the original Canon battery.

Works great, looks identical to OEM
By Tahoe Jones
It took a surprising amount of time trying to locate the correct OEM battery for my wife's T-Mo Samsung Galaxy S without paying full retail or getting a counterfeit/knock-off. I was a little uncomfortable with the reviews on this one, but as it turned out it looks identical to the OEM battery that came with her phone, and, after a week of use, works great. The battery arrived very quickly via First Class Mail. Two thumbs up!

Fake Battery
By Lyle J. Nielsen
Some dead giveaways to fake OEM batteries: peel back the label and see if there is an inscription on the cell of where the product was manufactured, if not, it's fake. Also, look at the color of the underside of the label, Samsung's has a graphite colored finish, counterfeits have silver. Take the label completely off and you might find a strange black plastic insert on the backside of the cell. What's this? It's an insert used on counterfeits to make the battery seem larger than it really is. At first, this battery will be just fine. Give it a month or two of use, and it will begin to swell and die out. All of the negative reviews seem to be from users that have used this battery for longer than a month. Buyer beware. Spending the full retail price for an OEM is really the only way to guarantee you're getting the real thing. I purchased mine from Prime and got a fake. Amazon refunded my order.
