Mine shattered and luckily the original screen was perfect! We used a razor blade and gently scraped it off. It was easy.

Not really cause its like having the original screen on still. Its that clear. But the glare isn't bad, it's avoidable, the purpose of the screen protector is to defend the screen from drops or any other hits.

the frame? not sure what you mean but my guess would be no. this is the glass and digitizer. when you take your old glass out of the frame, you have to then scrape the digitizer off the casing and then you put this back into your frame that you just cleaned up. Its tricky - you have to ensure that the sticky gasket around the edges of the frame stays flat and undamaged and clean because that's what hold the screen in place in the frame.

I didn't get any instructions with the porduct on how to replace the glass. I got the information and know how by looking at videos of the process on you tube. After watching a couple of videos I realized that the most difficult part was removing all the glue from the previous glass . I managed to change the glass and was pleased with the outcome, however I had some difficulty getting the replaced glass to remain stuck on the phone. I eventually brought from amazon some micro 2 sided tape that I placed on the complete edge of the replaced glass and that did the trick. Good luck.

Bottom line, yes the overall job is difficult.I shattered my original glass cover when removing it with a suction cup and heat gun. Warning: the original screen cover is real glass and did actually shatter like a car window (glass didn't fly everywhere and is adhered to a plastic film but was sharp). Be prepared to buy another cover or have one on hand during the job. Take your time with the suction cup, heat gun, and guitar picks. Don't force the glass screen cover off and let the heat gun melt the adhesive.Once you have the glass cover off the swap is easy and straight forward. This LCD fixed my flickering display issue. There is a good tutorial on one of the i fixit websites. Bottom line, yes the overall job is difficult.I shattered my original glass cover when removing it with a suction cup and heat gun.

No, it's just the case. You're going to want a screen protector so your screen doesn't get scratched.

It has a screen protector in a separate package that you put on the tablet. It is one of the best I've used. It went on really smooth. Just follow the directions exactly. I use eyeglass cleaner sprayed on a lint free paper towel to clean the screen first. It does come with an alcohol wipe, but I've found the eyeglass cleaner works better. Just make sure there's no lint on the screen. Put it on in good light.

Yes, it is a replacement screen, but it is JUST the screen. You have to carefully remove it from the upper shell without breaking anything else, which is quite a challenge, as they have a strong adhesive that you have to cut or melt off to even get the outer bezel off. If you are tech-savvy, its a perfect replacement screen.

I bought screen protector to keep it from scratching. It does not come with a cover for the glass. I have dropped it a few times and glass was not damaged. I really love my case and have had it for a good while. My husband has the candy apple one. He is typically harder on phones than I am. His is just fine, too. No issues.

It's glass. It's not like window glass but more like windshield glass, so there are layers to it, but it's most definitely glass. Feels and fits identically to the factory shipped stuff, so I am inclined to think it's the real deal. I've used these for both times I've cracked screens and both times they've worked great. No dulling of touch sensitivity or weird after effects, it's identical to the one your phone comes with (except of course, you know, it's not cracked). Just make sure you remove ALL layers of shipping plastic on it (there were 3 on mine, one on the front and two on the back, though some people report it different ways) before you apply it.

No..original comes off easily...New cover is optical glass quality and thus seems Sharper to my eye anyway

I received one with the speaker mesh and one without, so it's a toss-up? The old one is very easy to remove and replace on the new display. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to lift the gray/black tape that holds the screen in. You can remove both gently. Apply them to the new screen. The outer glass is definitely included. Replacing these screens alone (no outer glass) is impossible because the screen is glued very hard to the glass. Separating the two is impossible. The glass I received seems to be the same thickness as the original glass, but I wouldn't test to see if it holds up to stresses as well :-)

no it does not protect the glass. for that you will need a screen protector. i'd recommend you a "tempered glass" screen protector. They are more expensive, around $25, but they are very easy to install with no bubbles and also it's a thin glass, not cheap plastic. so it feels like the glass as if you had no protector at all.

like the tape so glass does go every where? no. and your going to want to heat up your screen. I used a hair blow dryer. but I ended up cracking the touch sensor behind that, so be very careful. that's the hardest thing, not cracking the touch sensor behind the screen. and the replacement screen covered the phone perfectly.
