Is there a kit available with only the glass and the digitizer?

Hi

I'm a newbie and english isn't my main language, so just correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm a proud owner of a shattered iPhone 5. It looks really ugly but LCD and digitizer are working just fine, so I see no point why I should replace them. Since the digitizer is glued to the glass and I dont have any access to tools to remove it, I'm looking for a kit with JUST a new glass and a digitizer.

Does anyone have an idea where I can get one for cheap?

Thanks alot!

Julian

@Hans Ueli Und Franz besides the points that eman05 makes, you will also have to have "special tools" to properly remove the old glass/digitizer. Then you need to have special tools to adhere the glass/digitizer back on to the LCD. In the long run it will cost more and the chances of getting it right are slim, unless you have the right tools and lots of practice.

It best to buy the complete unit digitizer and LCD, because doing a glass only repair is very difficult and time consuming. Also you have a chance of causing damage to the LCD if you are not careful.

No I said only glass and digitizer, I just don't want to change the LCD because it is alright. And I already changed the digitizer and glass on an iPhone 3GS with absolutely no problems.
