There’s a ton on ebay… is it all the same? Is there a particular place I should obtain it from? A particular type? Thanks. ---

Is it just the glass? LCD still looks fine and all the touch screen stuff works? The one I replaced on a 3g for a friend got his parts through a company called zeetron on Amazon. Let me know if you want help doing it. The big thing is being REALLY careful with the LCD when removing it from the metal frame. A lot of the youtube tutorials show a really bad way of getting it out which will most likely result in a bad LCD. The trick is to use a tiny screwdriver to pull back the metal frame without applying any kind of twisting force in the LCD. ---

It’s a work phone. I’m sure there is some sort of warranty, but I’d rather just DIY it, save them the trouble. ---

> [@Muckman](#): > > Squaretrade sells a 2 yr warranty on the iPhone that covers accidentals for $99. I used to do that when the new iPhones were $200+ but the $99 warranty + 50 deductible on something that takes $30-40 at most to replace and 5 minutes is a waste of money esp since the warranty is over once you make a claim so its better to replace the glass yourself and then use the warranty if you completely break your phone (ie. jump in a pool). I got good at it after breaking my phone 6 times. ---
