As said above by the other buyer this item isn't a level one install. I placed a white sheet on the kitchen table and drew diagrams with a sharpie as I took each piece apart. In total there were twenty-six screws. The product arrived five days earlier then scheduled. The tool kit is also a must have especially since the screw drivers are magnetic. From start to finish I was able to replace my LCD unit in about two hours, after having to retake it apart noticing I didn't allow for enough ribbon slack to connect the display. As stated above be sure to lay everything out neatly, as there are many small items to lose. Once installed I powered it on, and looked just like the day I received it brand new! Good quality product! Apple Iphone 4 Touch Screen Digitizer + LCD Assembly + Repair Tool Kit
This is a difficult installation. There are several videos instructing how to disasemble, but the parts are very small. Received my replacement screen today and finished the install a few minutes ago. Took me about 30 minutes to disassemble/reassemble with replacement screen. Make sure that you purchase this screen with the digitizer AND LCD... some retailers are trying to peddle just the digitizer. Just the digitizer is a scam! Repeat, buy the LCD with digitizer like the one sold on this page, if you want to replace your damaged Iphone 4 screen.
I expected that this item would be as described, particularly from a "Fulfilled by Amazon' retailer. However, the listing--which clearly states that it includes the screen with digitizer, the 7 piece toolkit, and the microfiber cloth--came only with the screen/ digitizer. There was no toolkit. I contacted the seller, who said they couldn't help me as it was Fulfilled by Amazon. Amazon couldn't help as it was a third party product. I returned it for a refund and ordered another at the suggestions of the seller--but guess what the second package was also missing? Yep, toolkit and cloth.
I now see the slew of bad reviews on this item, which is CLEARLY a mislisting that Amazon should do something about considering the litany of bad reviews. Of course, the caveat emptor reviews didn't show up on the product page because they weren't considered "the most useful." Codswollop. I have been a loyal Amazon shopper for years and this is to date the worst experience I have had.
In the interest of full disclosure, the screen did work fine once replaced, but the toolkit would have made it immensely easier, and I hate being lied to by a seller about the items included in a listing.
I'm not really used to working with tiny screws, but I took my iphone apart and replaced the broken screen with ease. The 7 piece tool kit really helped out. Especially the magnetic tip on the phillips screw driver. Screen works, feels and looks great! A+ Qulaity!!!
These seller was rather incompetent at giving me a good (and correct) iPhone 4 front panel assembly. There are three reasons why I will give this product 1/5 stars. :
1. The screen was not oleophobic. Side-by-side comparisons of an original iPhone 4 glass shows that this replacement screen gives significantly more friction than the original glass.
2. The screen had a thickness that was greater than my original iPhone 4 Screen (at&t). It would be fair to warn the the end user about the fact that this could be for the Verizon iPhone so that we may return it upon finding out that it was the wrong piece (because we know that the Verizon iPhone is a little thicker)
3. The screen had a defective stream of off-colored pixels. They're barely noticeable, but will show up on a dark background by giving a small "rainbow" of pixels effect.
I challenge anyone and reproduce my claims, and I'd like an explanation for my purchase.
So far I can't be sure how the actual replacement screen is -
The 7 tools included apparently don't allow you to remove the screws required to begin the replacement process. I need a pentalobe tool for step one - why isn't this included? Or at least noted in the description so you can order that in addition?
The lack of a list of tools included (and those actually needed) is ridiculous.
I mistakingly ordered this product for my Verizon iPhone, please note that the kit is only made for the AT&T version. Itwas completely my fault, but the company gave me a full refund and they acted very professional throughout the entire process. Thus the five star rating. (the product looked like it would have worked great if it was meant for my phone)
It is a great option if you do not want to pay another $200.00 for a refurb replacement. I would like to see the part to be less expensive. I purchased it for $129.00 and it worked like a charm!!!
It is definitely not for 1st and 2nd level techs as you can easily break or bend other internal parts of the phone. You have to be very detail oriented and will have to write down instructions as you are dismantling your phone, it will make it much easier in putting it back together. Keep a tab of all the parts and screws as you progress. There are tons of how to videos on youtube.
You will definitely loose any warranty on the device, so if you think it is not worth it and your phone is still not up for an upgrade, then you should not proceed with this option in case something breaks.
Firstly it arrived quick and works great, good as new. For the iPhone 4 you need to buy the LCD and digitiser together so thanks to the other reviewers for pointing this out, as it's easy to buy something that won't work. I am very happy with the product and I have no issues with the display, crisp and clear. As others have said this isn't a straightforward install. I wouldn't say it's very hard (great Zeetron videos on YouTube) but you have to have a lot of patience and be organised. It is time consuming more than anything and you need to take your time to get it right.
I was tempted to give it only 4 stars as I needed to buy an additional screwdriver to open the two bottom screws "Pentalobe Screwdriver Size TS1 for iPhone 4" to remove the cover but this popped up right away on Amazon when I ordered and it was only a few bucks (again thanks to other reviewers for pointing this out). Seller should correct this but the rest of the tools were spot on. But sticking with 5 stars as overall I'm very happy with the product, the price was great and it really should be about the LCD and digitiser. The tools were a bonus. - Apple - Glass - Screen - Iphone'
