Product Overview

For centuries, no man was envied more than Aladdin for his flying woven friend. Though a third wheel and an occasionally crotchety companion, the magic carpet was the perfect chauffeur to facilitate amorous evenings with Arabian princesses. Nevertheless, the risk of being rolled into a mouthwatering rug burrito was unavoidable.

These days, a more low-risk royalty seduction method is available. Change the front panel on an Arabian princess' iPhone 3G with this kit and win her inevitably-sovereign heart while avoiding the perils associated with irascible rugs.

This kit includes adhesive strips, a metal spudger, a plastic spudger, a #00 Phillips Screwdriver, a suction cup, and of course the front panel (touchscreen glass with integrated digitizer). Thankfully, no wishes need to be expended on instructions for installing the replacement front panel. As always, iFixit provides these guides free of charge. So stop wishing and get fixing! A whole new world of iPhone 3G Front Panel repair awaits!

IMPORTANT: This kit is only for the iPhone 3G. Although visually identical, this part will not work in the iPhone 3GS. If you have an iPhone 3GS, you can find the correct part here.

Installation requires a heat gun or hair dryer, which is not included.

My Problem

Front panel cracked and headphone jack was dead.

My Fix

Hard and took alot of patience

My Advice

The instructions are good but you really need to remember where everything goes. (NO INTERRUPTIONS)

My Problem

Dropped my iPhone 3g on the pavement, a small crack in the corner. It didn't affect the touch screen, but sure was ugly.

My Fix

The repair went smoothly, the instructions were great. It was difficult to separate the broken glass shards from the plastics, but it only took 15 minutes of careful work with a heat gun and the included spudger. The whole repair took about an hour, there was some difficulty with reconnecting the display cables.

My Advice

Go slowly and take your time working on separating the front panel from the plastics. Make sure you route wires correctly and ensure they are plugged in right.

My Problem

Dropped phone cracked screen

My Fix

Better than I could of expected

My Advice

Change your repair manual. I found you cant use suction cup on cracked glass. I used a piece of packing tape over the cracked glass then it worked like a charm. I suggest you add this step to your repair manual

My Problem

not only did the screen crack again, but after 3 weeks of using it cracked, the touchscreen stopped working

My Fix

It was quick and easy as it was the second time in a short period of time for my wife's phone.

My Advice

If the touchscreen stops working it's very hard to allow the battery to drain as it keeps going into sleep mode, but never swap the parts out if phone is stuck on. Let it drain even if it takes a week

My Problem

Rear panel was twisted

My Fix

Everything perfect, phone works except for the wifi and the gps. I think there is a connector not correctly fixed.

My Advice

The screws of the iphone are so tiny, that it is best to use a magnifying glass

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.
