iPhone 2G screen repair DIY

Step 5 The last layer

OK, everything is almost perfect, but my finger still feel those cracklines. I bought a cheap iPhone screen protector layers from eBay, and covered the screen with that. It is cover the cracklines and also prevent to get dust in the light sensors and those tiny gaps between the glass and the plastic area of the screen.

I have to admit this is not an ultimate solution, but will be ok until I get a faulty iPhone with an intact screen

this is ok i guess for a super cheep fix. but if u bought an iphone im sure you can scrounge up 10-20 bux and get a screen on ebay. or sum plexi glass replacements. it would be alot better then this, as your fix is just a bandaid. and more drops or anything and the rest will crack or fall off. its better to fix things right, then to put a bandaid on it. but if you need a quick fix this is a deffinit option

for the 2G the replacement screen is around 120 GBP,

This looks pretty good! Especially since it's cheap. And there iare always parts from sites like iFixit

very good tut! by the time you change the screen, is a very good solution, at least the chips of glass won't fly away and it mantains all the circuits clean

Not bad. Not too bad at all!
