My Problem
My friend dropped her iPhone 3GS and the screen shattered. The touchscreen still worked so I decided it was worth fixing.
My Fix
Great! The iFixit parts and tools were just what I needed. I finished in under two hours. Using the hair dryer and scraping out the old glue were tedious, but the plastic spudger was just the right tool for glue scraping.
My Advice
Wear safety glasses while picking broken bits of glass out of the plastic frame. Do it over a piece of paper or a towel.
