My Problem
My daughter cracked her iPhone 5S screen while at college after only having the phone for about 5 months. I decided I would fix it myself while she was home for Christmas break. I also decided that while I was at it, I would fix her older iPhone 4S cracked screen and sell that phone to help pay for the parts for both phones.
My Fix
The parts fit perfectly and were of great quality. I was very pleased. The repair guides were very informative. The magnetic mat was well worth the purchase. It made keeping screws organized a breeze. Sure wish I had it a long time ago for other repair projects. The only hitch in the repair was that my daughter failed to tell me the vibrator was bad in her 4S. I ordered a new iPhone vibrator from iFixit and after the second tear down of the 4S, every function is working perfectly. The iPhone 5S repair went perfectly and she is very happy to have her phone with a perfect display again. My worry level of her accidentally cracking her iPhone screen is over. I can relax and know if an unfortunate incident occurs, that I can place an order to iFixit and follow their repair guides and have it back as-good-as new in no time.
My Advice
Buy the magnetic mat. The anti-static tray is also great to have for a place to put larger pieces that you don't want on the mat. Read through the repair guide a couple times to be familiar then take your time and work step-by-step and you will be successful.
