I have an iPhone 3GS with a loose or lifting front glass screen. I have seen that there are replacement kits for this but I want to know if it is necessary to replace the screen. The screen is not broken or cracked, just lifting towards the top of the iPhone, mostly on the side with the volume button.
Thanks!
Is this a good question?

I believe that the 3gs had a 2 part display. This means that the digitizer and lcd panel are separate pieces and one can be replaced without the other. Digitizers are cheap and can be easily replaced if you have the right screwdrivers, they often come in a set with the digitizer.
It is a very easy fix and because you phone is so old, it won't cost you much!
The part you are looking for is called a digitizer. Ifixit has a guide on how to replace one!
