Is it easier to replace the back glass, or the entire back housing?

The back glass on my iPhone 12 is broken, and it needs to be repaired so I can trade it in. I don’t have a laser machine. Would it be easier to replace the back glass, or the entire back housing? I think that replacing the back housing might be easier, because I won’t have to destroy the back of my phone more.

Thanks in advance :)

getting the glass changed by someone with a laser maybe a cheaper option than buying a housing, you would probably need an original housing for a trade in and they would probably be the more expensive option
