Cracked Front glass replacement

My Problem

Dropped iPad2 and shattered glass

My Fix

Went well. Complete in approximately 1 hour.

My Advice

1. With cracked glass, start somewhere where the glass is cracked and work your way around. It is easier to get started at a crack than it is to start at the location identified in the guides.

2. use a hair drier to heat the adhesive. the iOpener is OK, but not quite as easy to use. As long as you don't over do the heat.

3. As someone else mentioned, I built a jig to hold the iPad. I used a small piece of plywood and attached a small strip of wood along one edge at the top. The iPad rested up against the wood strip and kept the iPad from slipping away from me as I was pushing the guitar picks into the adhesive. I also attached a small strip of wood to the bottom of the plywood. on the opposite edge from the top-side strip. That hooked on the edge of the table I was working at and prevented the whole jig from sliding away.
