Perfect. Did the job well!
By Ari
Ok, for any review stating that their glass had scratches, look again. I'm sure once in a blue moon there might be a scratch. However, I'm glad someone mentioned there are 3 layers of protective film to peel off the glass otherwise I would have missed it. There is a easy peel off film on each side of the replacement glass that extends past. But on the inside of the glass there is a 3rd film that is cut exactly the same size and is almost invisible unless you knew it was there. And yeah, until I took that last piece off I was freaking out that I got cheated into a shody product. But it was crystal perfect. The glass is not OEM but you can't tell at all. It's a pretty exact fit, maybe just a micro touch small at the edges but the difference would only be noticeable to the perfectionist's eye. From a distance of more than a foot, no one can tell. I'll trade that any day to having spider cracks all over my screen.

The tools work great. I didn't have any issues with mine melting. I used an embossing tool (which is pretty much a heat gun) but a hair dryer can be used too. Even though it shows in the picture, I completely overlooked that extra glue was included. Most glass replacements this isn't necessary because the OEM glue has plenty from the original build, but this was a nice perk nonetheless.

I'm not a gadgety person, I'm a house mom. Anyone can do this! If you watch a few different youtube tutorial videos to really get to know the details of the process, prepare all your tools to start and above all, TAKE. YOUR. TIME. to do it carefully, any novice can replace their galaxy 3 cracked screen. Take your battery/sim card/memory cards out before you start so they don't get damaged by the heat. It's is optional (but highly recommended) to take out your phone's circuitry too (many youtube vids on this too) to protect from heat damage.
Be aware though that if your digitizer (touch sensory)/LCD screen layer is damaged (you'll know this if your screen is rainbowy/black around the cracks or the picture is distorted), then you'll need buy a whole new LCD screen and glass replacement. You may want to send it for repair at that point unless you feel ambitious enough for the extra challenge.

Overall, mine came out perfect! I'll remember to put a protection case on this puppy this time. Screen protectors and ghost armor work great for dings and scratches. But my phone likes to cliff dive from any height to the floor.

Excellent product
By Bryan R Oakley
Heated with hairdryer, pryed off old screen and adhesive, replaced with supplied adhesive and new glass screen. only tools I used were the plastic prybar and the guitar pick. Make sure to clean the LED screen REALLY well before replacement. many great videos on youtube.

This is awesome!
By mh9
My kid broke the glass on his Verizon SCH-I535 in a motorcycle crash. He is OK, the phone still works but the screen broke. I wasn't sure if this product would fit because the description said i9300, I747, T999 but not i535. After a bit of research that said it would fit, I gave it a try. Turns out, when you get the screen off, "i9300" is painted on the little ribbon cable for the Menu and Back buttons.

DISCLAIMER: This worked for me. Won't guarantee it will work for you. You are on your own, but it worked for me!

I can't stress this enough...research, patience, YouTube videos, patience, breathe, more videos, patience, more research and even more patience!

Youtube videos, heat gun, plastic tools only and patience while taking the screen off. Start at the ear piece end, not the home button. Careful when you get to the home button and don't break the ribbon cable that is glued to the back of the Menu and Back buttons. The ribbon cable will come off in one piece if you are careful.

Once I got the screen off, I wasn't exactly sure how to proceed because, as others have said, there were no instructions for the assembly. I sent a quick question to the help email address asking how to apply the adhesive strip, received an almost instant response (from a real person even!) and most of my worries were gone.

"After your old screen is removed you will notice a black gasket on the outer edge. Remove it completely. Clean with swab and alcohol. Take the clear liner off the back. Place sticky part to fit outline of the phone. Apply pressure to the edges. Remove the blue film leaving the black gasket / adhesive. Then complete the install of your new glass."

More patience while slowly, carefully using tweezers, alcohol, q tips (and I used Goo Gone) to get the black gasket and all the glue off. Watch out for the ear piece and home buttons. Mine popped off but I was able to position them back into place. I spent almost an hour getting all the glue off. There is a lot of glue all over the place! Some don't, but mine even had glue between the glass and the digitizer which will roll off when you gently rub it with your fingers. I thought I was done until I got a magnifying glass and saw even more glue! Time for even more patience!

Then I panicked when I saw all the alcohol residue fogging up the digitizer. I used Sprayway Glass Cleaner from Costco, a lint free cloth and a lot of deep breathing to clean that off. Panic averted.

Patience again when applying the new adhesive. Careful, that stuff is really sticky and sucks to anything it touches. Again, I carefully worked down from the ear piece towards the home button. I personally stopped before the home button and removed the blue film because I couldn't get the ribbon cable through the hole with the film in place. Stressful times again because the ribbon cable stuck to the adhesive but I was eventually able to get it all sorted.

Once the adhesive was in place, I used another lint free cloth to clean the digitizer without touching the adhesive. You know what it is like to have a spec of dust under your screen protector? Then you can just imagine how much it will bug you if there is dust between the screen and digitizer!

Ok. Clean? Ready? Time for the glass.

NOTE: As others have said, the glass is not scratched. There are three protective films on the glass. Two of them are very obvious, one on the front, one on the back. The third film on the back of the glass is very hard to see because it is closely cut to the shape of the glass and was difficult to get off.

Patience yet again! This time start at the home button end and carefully attach the ribbon cable to the menu and back buttons on the glass. This is important because they supply the light and response to the buttons when you press them. Be sure the home button and ear piece are in place, take another deep breath and carefully, patiently position the glass in place...because once that glass is in place, it ain't going anywhere...then press gently but firmly around the edges to anchor it.

Now, if you did it right, put the rest of your phone back together, power it up and pat yourself on the back for a job well done and saving yourself a lot of cash!

(FYI, really only minus 0.5 star for no instructions but they won't let me give 4.5 stars.)

Great Product, Lacks Thorough Instruction
By Anonymous Consumer
My wife's GS3 had the screen shattered into one million billion pieces that somehow remained in place. The phone was perfectly operable and you could still see the LCD ok under the many thousand shards of broken screen. Sprint told her she was S.O.L. and would have to replace the phone outright, and I came across this product when searching for other options.

Others have done a decent job of explaining the product, but I wanted to clarify a few things:

- The kit comes with a bunch of tools, most of which I did not use. The two blue plastic pry-bar tools (included) and a pen-style X-acto knife I already had got the job done.

- Printed on a paper that came with the kit was a youtube link to a video of a guy doing the repair that was pretty good, but other than that there were no printed instructions. It was not clear if the guy in the video is in any way affiliated with the company that I bought the screen from. You would do well to search for a couple videos of people doing this repair.

- Several videos / reviews I have seen indicate that there is no adhesive under the clear part of the glass. I cannot speak for them, but on OUR white Sprint GS3 I can tell you that YES 100% there was definitely absolutely without any doubt adhesive under the whole screen. This was the biggest pain in the ass part of the whole replacement, but was also the reason that the phone had continued to be usable with the totally shattered glass. Clear adhesive held the tiny slivers of glass shards in place from below.

- Most of the videos I have seen have smaller breaks or cracks, where the glass is in 5 or 6 pieces that get lifted off with relative ease in 10-15 minutes. This was not the case with my phone, and as such it took way longer - at least an hour, maybe hour and a half. Totally worth it though.

- Heat! HEAT HEAT HEAT! Heat is your friend, and the crux of making this a successful DIY repair. I used my wife's high end blow dryer. I did not have an infrared thermometer, but here is what I found empirically: Heat the glass. Then keep heating it. Then heat it some more till you think you are hot enough. Then heat it more. You cannot heat it too much, at least not with a blow dryer. You might be able to foul it up with a heat gun, so don't to that - but this is a blow dryer. Like Abraham Lincoln said about the axe and the tree - spend your time on the prep and the actual job goes 10x faster. Still heating? Good. Keep going. Now keep heating it. It should feel like it takes forever. You should be getting bored. Keep heating. You get the idea.

- There are (2) things holding the glass to the phone. 1) There is a thin black adhesive gasket under just the perimeter of the glass. It is flat like construction paper, but sticky on both sides. The bottom sticks to the handset and the top sticks to the glass. You cannot see it while the glass is still on. If you have the white phone, see how the glass is white around the speaker then turns clear over the actual screen? And you see how that white glass on top also has a thin band that comes down the side of the viewscreen? The sticky black gasket is under the white part of the glass. The gasket is wider at the top and bottom, and there are holes cut out of the gasket for the camera, speaker, bottom button etc. 2) There IS a clear adhesive sheet under the entire clear glass screen that holds the glass to the digitizer that senses your touch. Once I thought I had gotten it hot enough, I was able to lift some of the broken glass off - but the clear, rubbery adhesive stayed stuck to the digitizer. This made a lot of extra work and smudgy mess. This is how I learned that I had not used enough heat. Later, once I heated way more, I found that once it is hot enough, you can lift the glass off and the adhesive comes right up on the underside of the glass, leaving a nice clean digitizer. This was way easier to clean up after - waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay easier. What are you waiting for? Get that heat back on there. HEAT!

- WARNING !!! - on the left and right side of the bottom button are the 2 little light up areas - "go back" (u-turn) on the right and "menu" on the left. In these areas, the glass is not stuck to digitizer, but rather a paper thin ribbon cable that starts on the left ("menu") and goes just over the top of the pushbutton to the right. It would be very easy to cut right through this thing with a blade, so don't do it! You should have started prying at a top corner by the phone's speaker, so by the time you get down to the button you have a good amount of the screen lifted already. If you are using enough HEAT you should be able to GENTLY peel the glass off of the ribbon cable. HEAT!

- Once I finally got most of the clear, rubbery adhesive off of the digitizer, I was able to clean off the smudges with a soft cloth and some rubbing alcohol. I spent a lot of time on this since this would not be cleanable once the new glass went on. This step did NOT require heat.

- The new double-sided black sticky gasket that came with the screen was real thin - REAL thin. I was not able to get it to lay totally flat along the edge side, but lined it up pretty good on the top and bottom. Once it was in place I pressed the new glass firmly into the gasket, and make sure that the edges of the new glass are slightly recessed into the silver bezel. I hit it with the heat for a bit and pressed some more. Lots of pressing and rubbing, until the phone was cool - I really wanted that new adhesive to set.

All in all, this did take quite a bit longer than I was expecting (1 to 1.5 hours), but my screen was especially destroyed. I am extremely happy with the results, especially for the price. They could charge double for this kit and it would still be worth it. If you are patient and meticulous you should have no trouble doing this repair. Based on the fact that you have read this far down this review, I would say you are qualified! Good luck!

Good tools - be careful using them
By Matthew
The kit arrived quickly and contained all items advertised. I had been perplexed about the blue adhesive sticker pictured (not realizing that the the blue film merely is the transport mechanism for the thin black strip of tape that follows the outline of the phone, which peels off of the blue film.

The process, when done correctly, only takes 10-20 minutes. I ended up breaking the digitizer in the process of removal and now am onward to other steps, but thought I'd share my tips from the newbie point of view. There are several youtube videos- and I knew the risk I was taking. That said, the videos I saw did not cover enough preparatory understanding of how the glass is attached by an adhesive strip along the *edge* of the phone frame only. I think it would be helpful for the seller of this replacement product to show a step by step video of their own to ensure higher customer satisfaction. My 3 star rating is due to lack of adequate documentation.

1. The glass is attached to the phone by a thin black seal around the *edges* of the phone frame. The underside of the main glass is not sticky and does not need help being separated from the digitizer. The seal is about as thick as a small rubber band. There is not a layer of adhesive under the main screen glass itself. That little piece of knowledge would have prevented the error that led to my breaking the digitizer.

2. Before getting started, I tapped the front of my phone so the broken glass would not get all over the place. I removed battery and sim cards in advance.

3. I used a regular hairdryer on low / hot. It does not take long to heat the adhesive along the phone edges.

4. After a minute or so, you can start sliding the tools under the edge of the frame (kind of like changing a bike tire). Start at the earpiece end (the top) of the phone near the center and start working your way around.

5. Gradually slide the two levers along the edge of the frame as you heat and separate more adhesive along the edge of the phone. If you can use tweezers, pull the adhesive strip out as you go.

6. Do not slide the tools into the main screen area - keep it to the edges only. MY ERROR: I thought there was an adhesive film layer under the glass that needed to be pried loose. The only adhesive is at the edge of the phone frame. My ignorance (and failure of adequate mention in the youtube videos) led to me breaking the digitizer when I slightly levered the glass away from the frame early in the process.

7. Also -- do not wedge your tools *under* the digitizer and pry it loose. I did that too and cracked it in another spot.

8. When you get to the speaker end you need to know in advance that there is a small flap of electronics that IS glued to the underside of the glass -- the left and right buttons (that light up to the left/right of the main button). Be careful and gradually separate that flap from the original glass. Do not accidentally tear or remove that flap!

When I was done removing the glass, I knew I had broken the digitizer and failed. I powered it up just to see what would happen. The startup sound played and the two lights at bottom worked, but the screen did not illuminate i.e. was broken.

Great ... even better than the original
By Zak
My galaxy S3 felt and the screen glass broken ... I searched the internet for a proper glass and decided to buy this one because : 1- it had Samsung logo, 2- it have the tools required for the process , 3- it have the pre-cut adhesive .... I was lucky that this screen glass returned my phone to it's original condition ....
Note: I failed to install the glass on the first time and I felt disappointed, but then I fount that I didn't remove the old adhesive and installed the new one above it so I opened the glass again and removed the old one... and the touch works great
thanks for this product. don't buy this product if your touch screen do not work properly .. this is only glass replacement

Does what its meant to but fails on some regards
By Amazon Customer
I have a galaxy Nexus from samsung -- its a big phone and unfortunately will no longer fit in my belkin strap... Considering the options, this is unfortunately the best. With that being said let me say what it does and what it doesnt:

what it does:
Holds my phone

what it doesnt do:
protect it from sweat (the entire thing is fabric except for the face)
give me a sense of security (the open top is loose and just seems like a potential accident waiting to happen)
fasten securely (the belt seems a bit sloppy sometimes -- although I have NEVER had it unfasten)

All in all, its the best option as of 6/12.. but hopefully higher quality bands come out soon.

[EDIT as of 11/5/13]
Funny that this is a top critical review... Regardless here is my update...
I have since moved to an HTC One -- this still holds my phone but barely (stress Barely as it tends to still pop out every now and then). The plastic has started to warp from use and it has started separating from the bottom lining of the case.

For consistent use over 1.5 yrs I am satisfied with its functionality -- its holds my phone -- but still wouldn't really say this is a great product -- just acceptable.

fits galaxy S4 with under part of Otterbox on
By Debra L Strang
I have the Galaxy S4 and the Otterbox cover. The cover is in 2 pieces, the hard protective and the outer rubber part. When I slip the rubber part off, then I can slide the rest into the slot on the armband and it works just fine!

Fits Razr Maxx
By Warren Philips
Snug fit on Razr Maxx so even upside down it will not slide out accidentally. Full access to the screen, without bubbles or waves, the plastic is tight and held to the phone to allow smooth scrolling and responsive tapping. No button holes on side but they can be depressed through the material that prevents moisture from getting to the device if there were holes. There is also a flap on the top that could be pushed out of the way for headphones to plug in but would other wise provide some top protection from the occasional sweat or rain drop. At the widest the armband allows for a setting 13" around so you can measure where you want to put it on your arm and decide if the extension is necessary.

These are the OEM!
By Dante Mason
Have no fear with this seller and don't believe the nay-sayers. These are the OEM with perfect pitch, highs, lows, same as the ones that come with the SIII phone from the factory. I ordered two but only opened one they came in about 3 days, All the buttons and everything works perfect.

Thank You!
