Helpful people, broken product

I really liked this product: it was well packaged, with a reasonable tool kit and a few useful links to instructional videos on how to replace the screen. Did the first exchange and everything was fine until the tape failed and the corner of the screen started popping out. After sticking it back a few times, the corner of the screen broke: So back to the drawing board. The company kindly sent me a replacement screen and extra strong tape, so I made a second replacement. Everything was fine until I discovered that the entire 1/2 inch wide bar on the screen wasn't working. It has become quite difficult to use the drawing application that I use a lot. I contacted the company again and this time they didn't want to send me a new screen but they said I could return the old one. The only problem is that the old one was still on the iPad. So I ordered ANOTHER one and replaced it, but found the home button didn't work. So I removed the home button from the cracked/broken screen, connected it to the new screen, reassembled it and it worked. Except. There are parts of the screen where it loses sensitivity when using the stylus: this is not a problem for most applications, but a bug in the drawing application. And the screen started peeling off so I ended up having to super glue it on and then the screen broke shortly after. TLDR: Good people in this company who want to help, but the product is fragile and broken. After 6+ hours and 3 screen changes I'm back where I started with a cracked screen. Pooh. On the other hand, I'm pretty damn good at removing and replacing the iPad screen.
