Perfect. Did the job well!
By Ari
Ok, for any review stating that their glass had scratches, look again. I'm sure once in a blue moon there might be a scratch. However, I'm glad someone mentioned there are 3 layers of protective film to peel off the glass otherwise I would have missed it. There is a easy peel off film on each side of the replacement glass that extends past. But on the inside of the glass there is a 3rd film that is cut exactly the same size and is almost invisible unless you knew it was there. And yeah, until I took that last piece off I was freaking out that I got cheated into a shody product. But it was crystal perfect. The glass is not OEM but you can't tell at all. It's a pretty exact fit, maybe just a micro touch small at the edges but the difference would only be noticeable to the perfectionist's eye. From a distance of more than a foot, no one can tell. I'll trade that any day to having spider cracks all over my screen.
The tools work great. I didn't have any issues with mine melting. I used an embossing tool (which is pretty much a heat gun) but a hair dryer can be used too. Even though it shows in the picture, I completely overlooked that extra glue was included. Most glass replacements this isn't necessary because the OEM glue has plenty from the original build, but this was a nice perk nonetheless.
I'm not a gadgety person, I'm a house mom. Anyone can do this! If you watch a few different youtube tutorial videos to really get to know the details of the process, prepare all your tools to start and above all, TAKE. YOUR. TIME. to do it carefully, any novice can replace their galaxy 3 cracked screen. Take your battery/sim card/memory cards out before you start so they don't get damaged by the heat. It's is optional (but highly recommended) to take out your phone's circuitry too (many youtube vids on this too) to protect from heat damage.
Be aware though that if your digitizer (touch sensory)/LCD screen layer is damaged (you'll know this if your screen is rainbowy/black around the cracks or the picture is distorted), then you'll need buy a whole new LCD screen and glass replacement. You may want to send it for repair at that point unless you feel ambitious enough for the extra challenge.
Overall, mine came out perfect! I'll remember to put a protection case on this puppy this time. Screen protectors and ghost armor work great for dings and scratches. But my phone likes to cliff dive from any height to the floor.

Excellent product
By Bryan R Oakley
Heated with hairdryer, pryed off old screen and adhesive, replaced with supplied adhesive and new glass screen. only tools I used were the plastic prybar and the guitar pick. Make sure to clean the LED screen REALLY well before replacement. many great videos on youtube.

This is awesome!
By mh9
My kid broke the glass on his Verizon SCH-I535 in a motorcycle crash. He is OK, the phone still works but the screen broke. I wasn't sure if this product would fit because the description said i9300, I747, T999 but not i535. After a bit of research that said it would fit, I gave it a try. Turns out, when you get the screen off, "i9300" is painted on the little ribbon cable for the Menu and Back buttons.
DISCLAIMER: This worked for me. Won't guarantee it will work for you. You are on your own, but it worked for me!
I can't stress this enough...research, patience, YouTube videos, patience, breathe, more videos, patience, more research and even more patience!
Youtube videos, heat gun, plastic tools only and patience while taking the screen off. Start at the ear piece end, not the home button. Careful when you get to the home button and don't break the ribbon cable that is glued to the back of the Menu and Back buttons. The ribbon cable will come off in one piece if you are careful.
Once I got the screen off, I wasn't exactly sure how to proceed because, as others have said, there were no instructions for the assembly. I sent a quick question to the help email address asking how to apply the adhesive strip, received an almost instant response (from a real person even!) and most of my worries were gone.
"After your old screen is removed you will notice a black gasket on the outer edge. Remove it completely. Clean with swab and alcohol. Take the clear liner off the back. Place sticky part to fit outline of the phone. Apply pressure to the edges. Remove the blue film leaving the black gasket / adhesive. Then complete the install of your new glass."
More patience while slowly, carefully using tweezers, alcohol, q tips (and I used Goo Gone) to get the black gasket and all the glue off. Watch out for the ear piece and home buttons. Mine popped off but I was able to position them back into place. I spent almost an hour getting all the glue off. There is a lot of glue all over the place! Some don't, but mine even had glue between the glass and the digitizer which will roll off when you gently rub it with your fingers. I thought I was done until I got a magnifying glass and saw even more glue! Time for even more patience!
Then I panicked when I saw all the alcohol residue fogging up the digitizer. I used Sprayway Glass Cleaner from Costco, a lint free cloth and a lot of deep breathing to clean that off. Panic averted.
Patience again when applying the new adhesive. Careful, that stuff is really sticky and sucks to anything it touches. Again, I carefully worked down from the ear piece towards the home button. I personally stopped before the home button and removed the blue film because I couldn't get the ribbon cable through the hole with the film in place. Stressful times again because the ribbon cable stuck to the adhesive but I was eventually able to get it all sorted.
Once the adhesive was in place, I used another lint free cloth to clean the digitizer without touching the adhesive. You know what it is like to have a spec of dust under your screen protector? Then you can just imagine how much it will bug you if there is dust between the screen and digitizer!
Ok. Clean? Ready? Time for the glass.
NOTE: As others have said, the glass is not scratched. There are three protective films on the glass. Two of them are very obvious, one on the front, one on the back. The third film on the back of the glass is very hard to see because it is closely cut to the shape of the glass and was difficult to get off.
Patience yet again! This time start at the home button end and carefully attach the ribbon cable to the menu and back buttons on the glass. This is important because they supply the light and response to the buttons when you press them. Be sure the home button and ear piece are in place, take another deep breath and carefully, patiently position the glass in place...because once that glass is in place, it ain't going anywhere...then press gently but firmly around the edges to anchor it.
Now, if you did it right, put the rest of your phone back together, power it up and pat yourself on the back for a job well done and saving yourself a lot of cash!
(FYI, really only minus 0.5 star for no instructions but they won't let me give 4.5 stars.)
