How does this differe from the original glass and is the replacement bezel required? The glass cracked while installing it. Did I also need new bezel

It looks identical to the original glass and you can't tell the difference by looking at them. The bezel and glass are one piece

Thank you for your inquiry! This package includes the digitizer, the adhesive, a microfiber cloth, and the tool kit for the repair. The thin plastic bezel spacer frame is NOT included, and must be purchased separately. The bezel frame can help prevent cracks. This screen is a glass/plastic composite that has very much the same look, feel, and functionality of the original screen, but does not contain any of the Apple trademarked logos or designs. Please contact us directly with any further questions!

Mine DID bring its own bezel. I've heard some say they didn't get one.Didn't use because the bezel my drive came with fit good enough.

Hard to say. If only the surface glass is cracked then that is all that should need replacing. Does the LCD screen appear to be OK or can't you tell? If uncertain, before ordering anything, I would remove the cracked glass first and then turn the computer on and see if the monitor is fine. if so, just replace the protective glass. Note that the protective glass needs to be heated pretty hot to remove without having it shatter all along the edge. NOTE: As some of the online videos show, you must start on the left hand side to remove the screen. The camera wires are run around the edge of the right hand side and to much heat could damage camera/wires even so I got it pretty hot without wire damage. I got the left hand side and top over to the camera pretty hot, lifted the top left hand side up then applied heat to the right hand side and top to remove. If it is shattering you need more heat. Care in heating the bottom near the keyboard is needed or you will melt the plastic caps on the keyboard. I think they are $3 or $4 to replace if you do. You could protect the keyboard with something to keep the heat away from the key caps while heating along the bottom edge of the screen. Hope this is helpful.

I would concur with the sellers answer and it was a lot simpler than I had expected. This route is considerably more expensive but way simpler than just replacing the glass. In the past I made an attempt to just replace the glass on an android smart phone and ended up ruining the lcd under the glass. There a great youtube videos that show you step by step and all you need is a small philips (x) head screw driver. Awesome seller btw.

I tired replacing my own and was not successful. It's very delicate, there are a lot of little parts that need snapped together for the LCD screen to work. If you don't do it correctly the first time you can ruin your phone. I would suggest if you was a for sure fix finding a repair shop in your area. We have one in out local mall, called Smart Fix

yea it will be fine. But buy some tacky glue to put that screen back on. Took me years to figure out how to keep the glass stuck in place. Buy another bezel too while your at it. I alway chew them up in the process of opening the thing.

No. It is only the handle and lock mechanism. The plastic bezel will have to be purchased separately from this item if it also needs to be replaced.

The way it was explained to me by my computer guy who fixed my iPad. The screen is basically stuck to LED which makes it almost impossible to separate the two without damaging the LED. That is why the repair is so expensive. Samsung wants like $299 to do the repair and he was in the same ballpark because of the cost and the screen/LED. I am gonna need you to clarify the bezel question. I still have mine if you want it. Mine is red. Just text me your address 757-289-5381. My screen was the only thing cracked as well. Feel free to call me.

Don't know. I'd look for the proper replacement. I've had to replace twice in the past 2 years after having my original glass body since the 60s!

Yes, I actually did it myself. The silver bezel looks good, but the black out does also!!

The way this is built, I do not think that a replacement glass would be possible to install. I have had mine for about a year now and have had no problem with it with normal use and care.

If the it's only the screen that is cracked, then all you need is the front glass which can be installed using a tutorial guide on YouTube. If the screen won't display some images, then you will have to buy a new LCD as well.

Hi Maureen, couple questions real quick! You're trying to replace just the digitizer glass right? Have you already removed the assumed broken glass from the display assembly?

Yes this would be the appropriate part for your replacement as it is the LCD that has cracked. If the picture never shows up, then it is the LCD but your screen is perfectly functional. Try looking for just the LCD instead it can be much cheaper than buying both and spending more on a part that you don't need. This is all the help I can offer you- Ethan

Did you check the screen before completing the install. When I installed mine the screen is very delicate and easily broken. You will need to send it back as a defect.

Sounds like you are on the right path and are getting good advice. Our screen looked like a broken window/windshield with streaks of missing pixels across the screen spidering out from the edge. Remove the snap on bezel with a thin implement of choice taking care not to crack it/ it is a single piece trim ring that is pressure fit. Then you will be able to inspect the screen and plug. On my model 4 very tiny screws held the screen in place- the best tool for that is what is sometimes called a hobby or jewelers screwdriver, often sold as an inexpensive set at most tool suppliers.

Denise, The number you referenced is exactly what I have, and I concur with the previous response. I watched a YouTube on how to do it myself. Turned out it was a major project that left me at an authorized Apple repair shop in Germany. They wanted to replace the whole LCD and glass at once - very costly quote ($400.00). I took it home and managed to get all the glass and glue off without damaging the LCD or camera. Cleaned the edge with alcohol it mounted perfectly and has held in place.
