i need to replace glass on ipad 2 is it as easy as everyone says it is my screen is cracked and it still works just hard to see through cracks

I would get a screen which had the pre-adhesive sticker already applied or installed. Believe it or not this very expensive gadget is held together with double sided adhevsies . The process itself is easy but dont get a product without a strong enough adhesive . it will peal off and you wont be happy

It is very simple. Just be patient and take your time. Be careful when you get near the camera area as it has little wires you can sever. Besides that just pry it off and put on the new one.

Yes it is your screen that is cracked. As for the is it easy or not, you really need to be careful opening the ipad. I have done two and on one of them I managed to cut the power ribbon near the volume and power buttons. The key to opening it up is go slow, and use heat from a hair dryer. Go slow and always purchase a new glass that has the adhesive already attached. You may also want to have some adhesive remover ready for clean up. One of those mats that keep the screws organized may be helpful also.

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. Is glass, not plastic. The glass is very fragile and can easily crack during the installation if you put too much pressure on it.

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.

The glass can be replaced seperatte from lcd but there is also the home button and the sticky tape gaskets. I have done both ways but the best and easiest was the all in one kit. The kit is simple and cost affective. Please be sure you check to see if it is a 3G or 3GS the clips for circuit board don't match so check the item description closely

If your glass is just cracked you can try to pull it off with heat and tools and then apply new glass. Likely you'll just ruin your screen more. I was able to fix my screen in two hours following the instructions. Yes it cost more but you'll be happy with it.

I doubt it. You may find it holds the glass together but you will still see the crack. If it were me, I'd replace the glass.

Very easy. What I did was searched iPhone screen replacement on YouTube. There are several videos. But really it is simple. Undo screws unplug a couple of connectors slip out the old and put in the new

The glass has no adhesive. I did buy a roll of the 2mm and I did need to use it. I also bought an additional kit but may not have needed it. A few extra guitar picks helped me. Replacing only the glass is a unique repair; it seems the glass and the screen are a component. There is a complete layer of adhesive between the LCD and the glass and that has to be completely removed and done without. Careful separation of the glass from the LCD is critical and with the right tools that will not damage the LCD. I watched as many S4 specific YouTube vids as I could find. More answer than you asked for but if it helps than it was worth a read. The glass has no adhesive. I did buy a roll of the 2mm and I did need to use it.

Hell yes!!!! Just watch videos on YouTube how to replace, dont rush, take your time, be very careful with connecting wires back, make sure they at correct spot perfectly before u push them in, about in 1 hour u can complete. Much easier then replacing screen on Iphone 4, iphone 4 screen replacement is nightmare...

My screen didn't come with tools. But you don't need much. It's far easier than replacing an ipad screen. The plastic housing snaps off with your fingers. Just pretty much a small Philips as I recall. And steady fingers. Watch a Youtube video before you do it and it will lead you through all the steps. It was far easier than i expected. And if you're into science, check my book, Mind, Memory, Time. Good luck!Mind, Memory, Time: A Quest into the Nature of Reality

My original ipad 2 was black. After my screen cracked, I replaced it with a white screen. Been working fine. No difference other than color.

If you have an iPhone 5 you can use this to replace just the glass (assuming that is all that is broken). It is not easy, but it can be done. Search the internet for a tutorial or video for help.If you have a 5s, then this will NOT work. You will have to replace the whole display. You can get that on Amazon too search for "iphone 5s digitizer".

It wasn't easy for me. I ended up breaking my LCD screen too, which is the screen under the glass, (I think that's the name). So then I had to pay to get that replaced too. I ended up paying $150. Where as if I would just have had the glass professionally replaced in the first place I would have saved $100. The glue is extremely difficult to melt with a hair dryer and my glass was shattered into a million pieces. Overall I wouldn't recommend doing this at home unless you know what you are doing. It does you no good to have a complete kit if you don't know what to do with it. I learned from experience. Hope this helps! It wasn't easy for me.

Yes! When I got it felt like a thin, plastic like screen and I thought I bought some cheap replacement screen but once I removed my cracked one they actually had the same look and feel. The quality is pretty much the same. Believe it or not the screen looks exactly like the original apple screen once it was put on my iPad.
