Are the mini pry bars metallic or plastic? Don't want to damage my iphone 5 while trying to pry open the screen.

They are plastic. They didn't damage my iphone 4 in any way when I was performing the battery replacement. I could never have replaced my battery w/o these awesome tools. Hope this helps answer your question. Good luck !

Pry bars are plastic and the drivers are metallic. Great combo for fixing any small electronics.

Mine shattered and luckily the original screen was perfect! We used a razor blade and gently scraped it off. It was easy.

The bars are metal but where they attach are made of a hard high quality plastic. Great crossbars. Some people complain they are not entirely flat but I don't mind

Top 1/2 of connector is metal, the bottom 1/2 that fits around the stand is really thick heavy duty plastic... However I thought too that it was metal and had to take a magnet to it to see. This one isn't going to break on you though.

Great question. They are made of a hard plastic with soft curved keys. What I think prohibits the keys from touching the screen is that the whole board is recessed from the faux leather framed encasement. Since I'm a bit rough with my devices, I applied a screen protector also.

I don't know. So far I'm not worried about the metal piece, but since other's feel it may be a problem I'm thinking about putting a small piece of tape or screen protector material on the screen on the small area the metal tab might somehow contact.

It's definitely, definitely plastic. I played with one this afternoon. Only looks "metallic." Plastic. OTOH, it's about as nice a plastic as you can get. Would I prefer real metal? Of course - who wouldn't (the iPad just looks gorgeous). But this should hardly be a dealbreaker for anyone.

I used a small plastic prying tool I used to fix iPhones, along with the screwdrivers used to fix the iPhone. Ifixit.com or YouTube has a video on how to replace it, it was very simple.

No it is a piece of plastic that looks like an iphone 5 with a piece of metal in it that weigs the same as an iphone 5

The case is plastic. So pretty much everything you touch will be plastic. I assume the inner workings are metal, but I'm guessing that doesn't really matter.

Is glass, not plastic. The glass is very fragile and can easily crack during the installation if you put too much pressure on it. I bought this one to repair my ipad and cracked when I pressed it on the ipad. The tools coming with the glass are useful the adhesive doesn't work! I ordered a cheapest glass without the home button and was exactly the same quality of the zeetron one. In addition to that the home button coming with the zeetron screen is cheap, it is better to take the original one and attached it on a screen that comes without home button.I also used the frame and appluied glass glue to attach properly the screen to the metal body of the ipad. It works great, now my ipad looks like brand new.

The bars are metal... the connector is hard plastic and rubber... good quality

They are the softer metal feel, so they will strip down pretty quick. These really didn't fit for anything, neither my iphone 5, MacBook air or retina MacBook pro. Haven't found any use for these yet.

The trim is made of a hard plastic, not so hard as to crack at a moments notice but hard enough to ensure the rubber portion does not come off. This is a two piece unit and I've dropped mine twice from a height of four or five feet and I can't see any damage to the plastic or the rubber. It is very functional and pretty decent protection. My goal with any phone is to provide the best protection possible without adding too much bulk to the phone. This works very nicely to accomplish that goal.

Is just plastic but looks like glass very nice I got this and a screen cover and has worked great. No metal parts. There is no front. It protects the back and sides just screen is left open. Screen cover does the job.

Metal chassis, but the bits around the screen shown on the picture in black are plastic. If you're worried about road-worthiness I don;t think you'll have a problem.

Arun, The first one I purchased over 5 years ago is metal,my new one purchased a few months ago appears to be plastic (I haven't used it yet). I hope it works well,but now that you have called this to my attention I am dubious.
