I have a stripped screw in my iPhone, and I haven't been able to get it out. I already bought the iCracked screen--what should I do?

Best thing to do is to remove the other screw and break the back cove by gently pulling it upward. Then when you get inside you can push the damaged screw out. The back cove is only $6-10 to replace. There is no other way

Don't waste your time sorry you wasted your money. In the mall, where they sell those phones in thee middle aisle lanes they repair the glass for only $50 for Ipod's and $100 for Iphones and it takes less than 30 minutes

Well, you do have a dilemma. The iCracked screw drivers are pretty good when removing damaged screws, but if all else fails, the the option is to gently put a flat head plastic like a guitar pic or screw drive along with a glass suction cup and break the back cover

I would take it to a jewelry store and see if out of kindness they would help you for free, if some of the do-it-yourself suggestions below don't work for you. I assume that you bought iCracked to save money in repairs.

It is funny. I have the exactly same issue. 3 of 4 pieces packed. It is very tight. I used my plastic pry tools (like this http://www.amazon.com/Leegoal-Tools-Repair-apple-iphone/dp/B001LKZNMI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1440431042&sr;=8-3&keywords;=plastic+electronic+tools) around the edge very carefully. I inserted one tool to crack/hold a small gap, and use the other one to open the gap around one side. After a several trials, I heard the sound and the cover separate on just the same side. After that I was able to expand the gap all around, and the cover got separated. The rest two were easy, as I follow the same process. It is funny.

I have screen protector on my iPhone 4 which is possible cracked an I need to remove it before I can install the new one. The one I have now is really on very tight so my question is what or how do you recommend I remove the old one

I am having the same problem! I have adjusted the screw and still no luck. I am at the point of getting rid of it and buying a new one. Very disappointing, especially considering how expensive they are. Wish I could be more help

I was upset as well when I didn't see anywhere to put the iPhone. I had to modify it and remove the screw where a camera would mount on, and just slap some Velcro on it. It works like a charm!

Mine had a hard time sticking with just an iPhone mount. I bought some double sided adhesive and it works perfectly now. Just might be harder to get off though.

You must replace the glass and digitizer, since they are glued and there's no way you can detach one from other... You must buy the kit with the screen and digitizer.... Hope it helps

I had to force the screw to break free and start unscrewing. I thought I would never get it off and now it is stripped so I don't even use the screw anymore.

On the bottom of the phone is a small opening. Use your fingernail to pry it up. It might take a few tries to get the right position but you can do it.

if you cant see anything on the screen you'll need the repair kit with LCD part. Search for youtube videos on how to fix it. they were very helpful and made the repair really easy for me. Just take your time and have a magnet handy to hold all the tiny screws when you take them out

The screw won't come out completely, once the screw just keeps spinning you should be able to grab the top edge and pull. I used my finger nail.

First, this digitizer initially had dead areas on the lcd and failed completely after a few days. I recommend the kit from icracked which is also available from Amazon but cost a little more. Replacing this digitizer is not easy. You have to completely disassemble and reassemble the phone which takes about 1.5- 2 hours. I had to use a jeweler's magnifier in order to see the tiny screws. Good luck!

This is just a clear protective cover that adheres to the surface of the iPhone. If you are removing an old one, you should be able to clearly see the edge. Use a plastic spudger or credit card or even fingernail to peel up the old one. Be careful not to use a hard object like a razor blade or anything or you might scratch the surface of the screen. Once you get a corner up it should come off quite easily.

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

I would suggest you contact them directly about this. I believe their customer support email is: cs@elagodesign.com I would like to warn you the only iphone I've ever had where the screen actually shattered was when using this case. This has been the worst case I've ever purchased. Hope this helps.

If your cristal broke, but the screen still works, you can replace the glass only as I did and it worked just fine. There's a lot of youtube videos that tells you how to do it. hope it helps. If this is not what you where asking, feel free to send me an email: sharon.frenk@gmail.com. Good luck.

I did the same thing. Even though its just the glass thats broken you cant separate it from the LCD. I bought this part but ended up having to send it back. You have to get the assembly that has all the parts. I found one for $130 I think here on Amazon.
