Cracked iPhone 3G Front Panel

by dcarolin

My Problem

Dropped iPhone had a cracked front panel, cheaper to repair than replace. Plus, it's more fun to fix things.

My Fix

Ran into problems when separating the cracked screen from the adhesive, nicked the rubber around the glass panel on the top two corners. Purely cosmetic, not visible when using a case.

My Advice

Be careful not to damage the rubber that surrounds the glass.
