Negative. The digitizer and LCD are pretty solidly stuck together. If you were to attempt to separate them, one or both of the parts will be damaged beyond repair. Also, the digitizers for the 3G and 3GS are not interchangeable.

For the 3G or the 3GS? Both easy to separate?

Easy? Did not see that popping up anywhere ;-) Doable is the term I used.

Fair enough.
