Review on πŸ“± White iPad 4 Touch Screen Replacement Kit - Fix Cracked Digitizer Glass Assembly + Professional Tool Set by Gary Duncan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works but poor quality.

Firstly, when you buy this Clone spare part you already know that you are paying a lot less than an official Apple certified spare part and the quality shows it. I bought this cheap solution for my current iPad 4, which I wanted to give to my mother. Glass is thinner and even easier to crack. Be especially careful when attaching or detaching the shield. Use a heat gun and spend plenty of time removing it if you need to adjust it after initial placement. Even if you haven't sealed and cured the tape yet. The home button protrudes and has sharp edges. It's not a problem for me, but it can cause irritation if you have sensitive skin like my mom does. Make sure you replace the black tape holding the home button ribbon cable or it will pop out. Maybe that's what happened when people mentioned the home button not working. The home button also has two gold contacts on the back that face the iPad's aluminum body. You have to cover them with thin non-conductive tape or they will short out the case and do weird things. I used a thin plastic sticker from which I simply cut out the squares. The main sensor cable is thinner than official models. Much thinner and thinner. This makes it difficult to replace without damaging it. Take your time and carefully use the right tools. The tool that came with it was ok. The screwdriver isn't magnetic, but otherwise pretty decent. The blue plastic lever is useful for adding and removing ribbon cables. What is missing is a pair of tweezers. You will need good long handled tweezers to work with this piece. The tape is not as strong as the factory one. Remember. You may be disappointed with his holding power even if you use a heat gun to cure him.

Pros
  • Free center frame available. It's easy to damage the bezel when removing your old screen, but don't worry we have a replacement for it.
Cons
  • I'll write later
