I bought a replacement for the front glass of my iPad mini 2, and received a plastic part. Is this normal? In other cases on this forum there are answers assuring the clients that the parts are as the originals!
Is this a good question?

That’s what I figured from your question, it “feels” like plastic, it’s lightweight and it’s flexible, thus it “must” be plastic. Of course a digitizer glass cannot be just 100% glass even if most part of it, it is indeed. Infact it’s a sandwich of different layers and materials with on top typically a protective film. For more info on various build types you could have a look here: https://www.eizoglobal.com/library/basic...

You were right. It was as the original, although I only figured that out after removing the old digitizer.

Never seen an iPad plastic digitizer replacement. How did you determine it's plastic ? Have you contacted seller and expressed your doubts ?

It feels as plastic, sounds as plastic tapping it and it is flexible, which I don't believe it would be, if it was glass.

Does it feel lighter than the original screen?

Hard to say, since I did not remove the original yet because it is shattered.
