My glass protector is damaged and chipped-I want to remove it and replace it but how or what do I use to take it off without damaging the 4s glass?

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

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.

Yes remove the plastic one first by peeling it off starting at a corner. It should peel off very easily. Then follow the screen cleaning/preparation and installation instructions that come with the new screen protector. If you have any more ?'s I will be happy to help as much as I can.

Sorry for the late response. If your screen is cracked you will want this... Teenitor White Replacement LCD Touch Screen Digitizer Glass Assembly OEM for iPhone 4SCopy this link and it will take you to the part that I ordered for my phone. Be ready though because there are tons of tiny parts while taking it apart. I recommend you get a piece of paper and write down the steps by number and place each screw or screw by that label. This will help when you put the phone back together so you use the correct screw as there are a few different sizes. Sorry for the late response. If your screen is cracked you will want this...

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.

Since it comes as one unit i would replace the whole thing. I didnt have very good luck with is product. It was a real pain in the @ss! The glass has the touch sensor attached to it.

I used a pocket knife to chip away at it...be careful as it does shatter and you have to carefully remove it piece by piece.

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.

I would suggest the Skinomi Tech Armor glass. I dropped my galaxy s5 on the cement a few days ago and noticed cracks on what appeared to be the screen. I was bummed out. when I got up the next day I peeled off the protector and it was just the protector that was cracked, not my screen. I just ordered another one. :)

Same thing happened to me. I checked with Spigen. They offer a "discounted" replacement fee. Frankly, it wasn't worth the hassle for me. I ended up purchasing a "flexible" tempered glass protector. We'll see how that works. I thought these protectors would be more resilient but it seems they are not. Instead of being indestructible and shatterproof they are now marketing them as a way to prevent damage to the actual screen. In that regard.. yes they work.

I'm sorry, Adam, can you clarify what you mean by the red flap? Are you asking about the protector screen that covers the digitizer (back side of the glass)? If so, yes, this should be removed before you install it. Peel back the protective film right before you slide the ribbon cable connector through to the back side and settle the glass onto the frame.

Clear adhesive tape is your friend. If you want to remove the screen protector, simply stick some tape on it and pull it off. But if you would rather fix the bubble, tape down the parts of the screen protector where the bubble ISN'T so that it won't get out of place or completely removed. Then use a different piece of tape to lift the corner nearest the bubble. While you are holding the screen protector off the phone, use another piece of tape to fetch the contaminant hair, speck of dust, Cheetos crumb or whatever else is in there. If you are careful, you can even use tape on the underside of the screen protector. Stick the tape to itself, leaving a little sliver of sticky exposed, and use the unsticky sides as a handle. If you don't care about saving the screen protector, it should peel right off with your fingernail.

I received one with the speaker mesh and one without, so it's a toss-up? The old one is very easy to remove and replace on the new display. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to lift the gray/black tape that holds the screen in. You can remove both gently. Apply them to the new screen. The outer glass is definitely included. Replacing these screens alone (no outer glass) is impossible because the screen is glued very hard to the glass. Separating the two is impossible. The glass I received seems to be the same thickness as the original glass, but I wouldn't test to see if it holds up to stresses as well :-) I received one with the speaker mesh and one without, so it's a toss-up?

I doubt it worked for you, if it did it will soon get ruined and you will try to get a refund or new one and Tech Armor will likely choose not to honor their "Hassle Free Lifetime Warranty". Get a ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass for Apple iPhone - Case Friendly instead :)

The concept is simple: if you can do work the apps thru the broken glass, the digitizer if fine. However, I'm a pretty handy guy and it was a nasty experience. I recommend you call Amazon and take the replacement deal instead. Good luck. Dimitri

You should be able to just peel it right off. If you do not see the edge of the screen protector then there might not be one one there yet. If you need help putting the new screen protector on then you can always look on YouTube on videos on how to do it.
