This kit does not use a LOCA. Is there a lot of movement in the center of the glass after replacement since there is no adhesive for center support?

Nope it's sturdy once you stick the double sided tape that it come with put it around the edges and its sturdy when removing the glass use a alcohol base to clean the the digitizer to make sure it's clean

Frankly, I don't know what a LOCA is, and I even googled it. However, the center of the screen is where my replacement screen cracked, after six weeks usage. To be fair, I use the Zerolemon extended battery, which has adds A LOT of weight to the phone, but the replacement screen broke when the phone fell about two feet onto a carpeted floor. The company has been in contact with me and is sending me another screen, but it will be more than a week before I get it. Next time I'll use a screen protector, stock battery, and an Otterbox commuter case- hopefully the setup will last longer.

So far, I have not had such experience. There is, however, a detailed instruction PDF available at this link that may help.http://gmedia.fiskars.com/faq/9240replacement.pdf

No, you have to re-use the screws that hold your existing screen in place - that's why it is important to set up your area for screen replacement where they can't fall on the floor or disappear anywhere.

This particular glass didn't come with tools. I had some tools already. It came with protective film for the glass, which I installled after replacing the glass . It also came with a button which was not precisely positioned. That might cause the glass to be pushed out and not glued properly to the frame. The adhasive around the button is not enough to keep the glass is place. I had to use some additional flex glue which I used in the little open place around the button. I put two books over the screen and kept it over night. Never had any iasue with it after that. I hope that helps.

There is a center support but it was very weak. We ended up going to Home Depot for slats that were thicker and screwed them into the frame on the inside rails and also used the center support they provided.

No glue or adhesive is needed. Remove the original carefully, and you will see that all you'd need to do is just press the new one into the slot in the frame. saved over $200 by doing it myself.

I purchased a tape 'kit' but after receiving it, I discovered it was only for the outer edge of the glass. There was no adhesive for in the middle of glass to hold it to the LCD. I was pretty disappointed but its working so far

Comes with adhesive tape backing. If you move it you will need to either replace tape or find another way of mounting

Yes it does, my glass piece fell off however because the adhesive it came with was not very strong. If you do order this I would suggest an alternative adhesive, maybe super glue.

We did not use the tape nor did we have a need to. The glass is already sticky so when u get the broken glass off u can just peel the film from replacement glass and it should stick just fine. Mine did. U will needed to rub the glass to make sure the replacement glass sticks and lays fine though. U tube has some good vidoes regarding screen rrplacement. Good luck!

I installed mine with blue loctite on the front sight threads and smeared a little under the sight, as well. I have had no movement in the months I've been carrying it on a daily basis.

Hi there. In a perfect world it would be helpful but isn't 100% required. There is enough adjustability in the fixture bar that you can be slightly off. I've made 5 crosscut sleds with these and didn't own a self centering bit. Try clamping a good straight edge to the fixture bar when you tighten the screws down. Also if you are unsure of this or the incra ones, I prefer these. Hope this helps!

I would recommend buying one considering they're so cheap. I did cut mine up quite a bit, and the frame makes sure that glass sits evenly. So I would just incase. It will only take a couple more minutes just to replace

The glass has no adhesive. I did buy a roll of the 2mm and I did need to use it. I also bought an additional kit but may not have needed it. A few extra guitar picks helped me. Replacing only the glass is a unique repair; it seems the glass and the screen are a component. There is a complete layer of adhesive between the LCD and the glass and that has to be completely removed and done without. Careful separation of the glass from the LCD is critical and with the right tools that will not damage the LCD. I watched as many S4 specific YouTube vids as I could find. More answer than you asked for but if it helps than it was worth a read.

Hello,Thank you for your inquiry. We have checked and it looks like the glass just lays on top of the legs. They do not attach. If you need anything else, please let us know.Thank you.

I agree with Dr. Tractenberg - try moving the glass retaining brackets. I had no problem.

they make precut adhesive just for the note 2. i dont advice you to use loca adhesive because it very hard and very tedious to do right. just make sure ur adhesive isnt too flat to where your glass will begin to touch the lcd and cause a wet lookin bubble in between the two
