My Problem
The iPhone leapt from my hand one day and smashed on the ground: the screen was completely shattered. I like the design of the 4s--it looks steampunk to me--so I wanted to try to repair it if I could.
My Fix
It took about two hours, and the iFixit instructions were invaluable: they showed me exactly what to expect. I couldn't have done it without them. I'm very happy with the result.
My Advice
There is a red adhesive backing stuck to the reflective surface on the inside of the display unit, but the reflective surface is not adhered to the unit: it falls right out if you're not careful. It's challenging to get the backing off the reflective surface without getting fingerprints all over it, which I assume is not something you want to do. It would have been good to know in advance about this: I might have had a pair of vinyl gloves on hand.
