Is it necessary or advisable to use additional adhesive between the digitizer and the case? Is the adhesive provided on the digitizer in adequate?

The kit comes with a double sided sticky tape "gasket" that is installed between the new glass and the existing digitizer. It only sticks to the perimeter of the new glass. Your original phone has clear adhesive completely sandwiched between the old glass and digitizer but that will come off when you use your heat gun/hair dryer to remove the old broken glass. this kit does not contain the original style adhesive.

Only if the original got messed up. For me I just clean off the old and put the new one on with the new glass.

The buttons may need a little help. How to reuse the old is described in the instructions. I bought a roll of double sided tape, "just in case", and did not need it, nor would I advise buying it "just in case". Your key to success will be your environment and your patience, this is not a job to attempt while tired, hungry, watching small children, or engaged in other tasks. Give yourself two hours and you will probably need one.

Just make sure the strips are intact with tape and no damage to the digitizer. Mine came with plenty bubble wrap and works fine. The middle strip has to be lined up with the white line in order for screen to work. It has adhesive glue already on the new screen so its impossible to test. Just be careful

Yes, takes time, a heat gun, and patience. Start with the less broken part work it up and dig the tiny out after the screen is off. Be careful don't break the digitizer.

Anything will scratch it if you're not careful. If you're careful to stay off the glass, the only problem you might have is scratching the plastic bezel around the glass. Also, make sure to use enough heat to get the glass loose, but not so much you damage the LCD or electronics underneath. I suggest using a magnifier and a single-edge razor blade to get started. This tool I've found out is excellent for replacing the digitizer (pushing the plastic bezel into place under the aluminum). At first I didn't like it. Now it grows on me every time I use it.

Yes the tools were included with the digitizer. That is why I purchased this vs other options.

The digitizer and screen are glued together but you will need glue or double sided tape to glue the screen to the phone.

Yes man, this is the digitizer only. you have to purchase the screen or there are the digitizer+screen together.

Yes replacement tape is necessary. While it could be possible to reuse the tape I have yet to see one done where the tape was left perfectly intact. Save yourself the headache and sub-par installation and just buy the tape. Just my opinion, and I have replaced digitizers on many mobile devices including two different tf300t's. Hope this helps.

I was able to save the bezel on my replacement job. The cost of the Bezel isn't that much. This was my first attempt at replacing the digitizer screen so I had to end up replacing a few things, looking back I should have used a sharp flat blade and heat gun instead of the curved blade and kept the blade flat to the backside of the screen with a slight angle of the blade into the screen like a scraping angle. Good luck!

The LCD and digitizer come pre-assembled. However you will need some sort of adhesive to secure the display to the chassis. I used some double sided tape since the original factory adhesive was no longer usable

you don't need adhesive tape to install the digitizer. However, you have to make sure it is the right connector cause unfortunately for me it didn't work.. The replacement has the same amount of pins (80 pins ) as the original one. Once I installed it and did not work. I had to use a magnifier lent to check if the tape was ripped off. then I compared it with the original one and to my surprise they both different.. You should ask the seller to take a zooming picture of the connector then compare with the one you have..

My corner was smashed in. What you can't see until you remove the old screen is that there is a little plastic frame that goes around the digitizer. I was unable to replace that as it is assuredly a factory installed item probably installed by a robot or something. I tried every way I could to get it installed with negative results. I left it out and finished the install. There is a small gap around my entire screen as a result of leaving it out. My ipad works great. My only other recommendation is to purchase a digitizer with the adhesive already in place. It's much easier then trying to line on the double sided tape. My corner was smashed in.

The adhesive is actually a thin strip that goes only around the boarder right outside the digitizer. Be carful not to put it on the digitizer because that will cause your touch screen to have defects.

Don't buy this. The glass is not meant to be separated from the digitizer. Either buy the glass with the digitizer already attached or bring it to a phone repair shop an have them repair it for you. I found out the hard way.

I would buy the digitizer and glass together its like 11.00$ And much easier to install than peeling the glass off the digitizer ave doing more damage. just look how to install on you tube.

Nope it's sturdy once you stick the double sided tape that it come with put it around the edges and its sturdy when removing the glass use a alcohol base to clean the the digitizer to make sure it's clean
