The digitizer CAN most certainly be carefully removed from the frame and LED on the Sprint Galaxy SIII model. I run a repair shop and I was able to complete the repair by slowly and carefully heating with a heat gun and separating with a plastic pencil-type spudger. The adhesive used to fuse the digitizer and display in the SIII is much softer and more pliable than the adhesive used in iPhone (which I have never seen separated properly). The display on the SIII's is a very thin and very expensive OLED, so I proceeded with the greatest of caution, not knowing sure if it was possible, and also not having a spare display if something went wrong. When you order the replacement digitizer, upon receiving it looks wrong, as it is just the glass with no cables as you would find on a standard digitizer. But that is all you need, assuming that it is just the digitizer that is broken. I can not speak for models other than the dark-blue Sprint SIII. Also, I only did the one phone, so I can not say whether all Sprint SIII's are this cooperative, but I successfully completed that job. One other note: I only re-adhered the edges of the digitizer to the back to the phone, I DID NOT attempt to re-adhere the entire viewing portion of the digitizer back to the viewing portion of the LED; I could see no situation in which I would be able to pull that off and still have a clean viewing area. I have some pictures of the repair that I took during dissasembly to insure everything went back where it was supposed to, I can share those if anyone wants. Take your time, go twice as slow and three times as carefully as you want to, and this job can be completed.

The glass is fused to the display, and the display to the Galaxy S III's frame. These are most certainly very difficult to separate. You are more likely to break the LCD as well by even trying. Even if you could do it successfully, you will still have to find a way to "glue" them back together. I don't think there are any cheap options at this time.

It is very difficult to replace only the glass of I9300.

It is easy to broken the lcd display if you can not replace it correctly.

I9300 glass link:

I9300 White Glass

digitizer can not remove from one glass screen to another separately.... you can only replace the Assembly(complete glass) http://www.prezzydeal.com/tag/product/li...

All of the videos on youtube look like they are working on the 9300 verison of the phone. This is the international version so it may be different. I took the phone apart and it was fused together at the bottom. I have a heat gun, watched the videos, and successfully BROKE my phone. DO NOT TRY

do not try !!! is very difficult, only a laboratory well equipped can do it without broke it completely !!!!

This video seems to cover the procedure to replace only the glass (20$ option)

Feedback is generally positive. I think patience is the key.

i think you can do replace work by yourself according to the assemble or take aparts vedios on YOUTUBE, it is not difficult to do that. You just need to buy your needed parts in ifixit or other stores.

Well said jtryan77, and for those of you that are looking for the Digitizer only for the S 3, here is a link https://www.gounlock.com/details.php?ite..., they are out of stock today but you can give them contact info and they will let you know when they have more, this is a reputable parts supplier in CA that I use.

i can tell you that it is very hard to replace the glass only and most of the times it will be much easy to replace all the unit including the LCD and the frame.
