Defining the word "Quality"
By E. Byer
I've been through hell and back with phones, so forgive me for being pessimistic when I'm standing in the Verizon store wondering what's wrong with each phone they had. I was ADAMANT that my next phone was going to be the iPhone5 because everyone has jump ship to buy one of these, and quite frankly I love how smooth and responsive my iPod Touch 4g is. Well to backtrack, I have suffered through the BB 8320, BB 8330, BB Tour....got fed up with how underpowered and outdated they were with TONS of lockups and LONG resets, went to G1, DroidX, Fascinate....got fed up with just soooo many glitches in Android phones I can't believe anybody actually believes they like them...and believe me....as hesitant as I was...I purchased the Blackberry Bold 9930. Why? Why not the iPhone5? For the following reasons:

1. IT HAS AN INDICATOR LIGHT! This technology is so dated that it's CRIMINAL not to include one on every phone manufactured. If you are like me who is always in quiet environments and can't have ringtones or chimes going off all the time, then this is extremely valuable to you. With the samsung fascinate I felt I had ADHD constantly checking the damn thing and actually used more battery turning the phone screen on and off. Also BB has the best notification lights on their products hands down! DroidX had one but it wasn't very visible. Love BB for this!
2. The BEST...and I mean this....THE BEST BB Keyboard I have every used! It's soft to the touch, easy to press, extremely responsive, keeps up with you, and is wide enough for my big fat fingers. BB...if you ever touch this keyboard and change it I will personally come to your headquarters and slap the CEO. This is the best one ever! I am so SICK and TIRED of these virtual keyboards I can spit. I have more errors than I or the device can count, and I spend MORE time correcting one word than typing a new word.
3. The screen. This is where I think people need to wake up and truly assess the screen size. It's absolutely stunning. It looks better than a retina display imho, it's 2.8" but not just that...it's touchscreen....something that I begged and pleaded from BB for as long as I can remember (I think the G1). Now I can just tap on the icons and simply tap on whatever I choose without a mouse cursor. Also I thank you BB from the bottom of my heart for keeping the touchpad because you are the ONLY company that I can actually scroll into the middle of a word and delete and replace letters. I can't stand those stupid touchscreen-only devices when you are typing a text message or web address and you miss a letter and you keep pushing with your index finger trying to get the cursor wedged between two small letters on a small screen. NEVER AGAIN. Also people argue "well you can blow up pictures bigger and view web pages longer." Very true. But in portrait view, the BB now offers the SAME width as all the other phones...go ahead and compare. Sure you get some more real estate in Landscape...but to me it's still a 3.5 - 4" screen and I wouldn't trade a BB keyboard for anything in the world!
4. FAST. I MEAN...FAST. This thing keeps up with every button I press and every icon I tap.
5. Battery life is good. Honestly I'm not jumping out of my seat saying "I can't believe how long this lasts." It does last a long time (I'd say about 6-10 hrs depending on real usage) but no better nor worse than the competitors. Gotta power that gorgeous display somehow right ;).
6. 5mp Camera is nice. The flash is great to have, but the pictures aren't as natural as a real camera flash. I'm being picky, but I tell it like it is. I really don't know what the iPhone camera flash is like, but I do know the pictures are crisp and clear on that phone. These pics seem great to me as well, but I have yet to send one to someone to see how it looks on their phone.
7. Design: Quite frankly I don't know what everyone is bickering about on the blogs, but apparently this Bold "look" has been replayed for a couple of years now. What I say to that is: If it ain't broke don't fix it. It's the most popular selling BB phone RIM sells next to the AT&T Torch, it looks gorgeous to me (I love the metal all around the sides and the carbon fiber look to the back cover), so they could sell me the same looking phone in 6 yrs and I'd still buy it. How many times do you watch your favorite movie over and over again knowing it won't change when you watch it? What about the iPhone? Black front, shiny back every time...still looks gorgeous (can't fault them for that).
8. Speaker, speaker, mic, and vibration: You have to hear it to believe it. The speaker on this phone is very loud and clear up to 85% volume (I notice more distortion past that). I dare you right now to go find a speaker that beats this...go ahead...I will wait. I have had one too many phones in my day and this one is the loudest and "clearest" relatively speaking of the bunch. The way I test a speaker volume is to try it out in the store in a noisy environment. If I can still hear the music AND it sounds good, then that is a good speaker. All the devices out there can't match it. Sorry but it's true. The next speaker is the earset. Sounds crisp and clear. Something my Samsung Fascinate apparently knew nothing about (muffled, crappy, distorted). The mic picks up my voice very well and people have commented ever since I got the phone that I sound clearer. The vibrator on this phone is adequate and noticeable on a desk, but I still have trouble with it in my pocket (like every other phone on the market....they were meant to be worn on belts).
9. Comes with a leather case...and a high quality one. I always loved buying a BB for one of these. It has the swivel clip so you can orient it on your belt as you please.

I could go on and on about this but I'll stop here. I RARELY write reviews unless I am in love with a product and THIS is a product I love. I highly recommend it and if you have any questions my name is Ed at optomechesst@aim.com.

Buyer beware...Check 1 Star reviews before you buy!!!
By E.K.
I ordered a new BB 9930 GSM unlocked phone from seller. When it arrived I bought a temp AT&T sim card to test it before leaving for Africa. Glad I did, since the BB had many problems like the keys sticking, international apps did not work, and very poor connections with the GSM. I emailed the seller for a return and refund. Seller said OK. Seller received the phone on a Monday and signed for it at the post office. Then on Wednesday the seller says I need to send him the tracking number since he had not received it yet. I filed an insurance claim with the PO and later that day the PO where seller lives called me up to say seller indeed signed for the package on that Monday.

Since it was a week now without a refund I filed a complaint claim with Amazon. Seller was now forced to refund my money...he did minus 15% restocking fee of $54.45. I said to him and Amazon that is not fair since the phone he sold me was defective. Apparently Amazon A to Z Garantee Program really works...in the end I got back my $54.45 along with the $45.00 I paid for overnight shipping.

Thank you Amazon for helping an old and satisfied customer out. Next time I buy I will first look at all the 1 Star ratings a seller has...1Star reviews hold a wealth of information about the product and the seller. Forget those glowing 5 Star reviews and concentrate on the 1 Star...you'll be glad you did.

Step in the right direction for RIM....
By Quentin Gerlach
I feel for you Verizon customers who have been waiting to upgrade your Blackberries - especially if you wanted a touchscreen BB. Since RIM never released the Torch 9800 for CDMA users, you guys never got to experience that goodness. Surprising since the Torch is (was now, with the release of the Torch 2 and the new 9850 for Verizon) one of the few decent releases from RIM in the past couple of years. Anywho - with the 9930 Bold, those who were left out finally have a reason to upgrade their phones.

For those of you who are wondering - this is NOT the Monaco phone that RIM plans on releasing soon. That phone is fully touchscreen - designed to replace the much hated Storm and not too much better Storm 2.

Ok, so some list of changes that RIM brought about:

- With the release of this Bold, RIM decided to nicely go back to the old style Bold 9000 keyboard. The keys are a bit bigger, so for those of you whose fingers might have been too big for the Bold 2 that was released for Verizon, I urge you to give this phone's keyboard a try - you'll be pleased. Some of you may notice the dimensions of the 9930 and the 9700 are very close, so you might wonder how they got the keyboard bigger. Well, they did it by getting rid of the plastic lining around the sides of the phone. Yes - both the keyboard and screen are now flush with the edge of the phone. I'm not sure I'm a fan of this, as it makes it a whole lot easier to crack/break something important, but it seems to be a direction most phone manufacturers are moving in, so we'll see....

- This phone is the first to have the new 7 OS - which is nice, but I think I'd rather have the QNX OS, thank you very much... Haha - but it is a good OS - for those who are interested, it takes up less space than 6. If my calculations are correct - about 15% less. This OS also supports NFC (near-field communication), so it'll be interesting to see what kind of apps developers create to take advantage of it. (For those who remember it - NFC is how Google Wallet works) Voice search also works particularly well with this OS, and two new business apps are included, called BlackBerry Protect and Balance. Protect allows your business to remotely monitor, configure and wipe, if necessary, a remote smartphone so when the phone disappears, your whole business life doesn't disappear along with it. And Balance separates business tasks from personal stuff on a BlackBerry, which helps avoid the possibility of confidential data accidentally being sent to all those shady contacts.....

- Yes, the screen is touch capable. It's actually pretty slick - especially considering how small the screen is, comparatively speaking, so it is usable in day to day operations. It especially works well with the browser - for all those times you need to move the page around, or zoom in on something, or zoom out to get a better view of the entire page. Are you going to play games with it?? Most likely not. But it is a start.

- "Liquid Graphics Technology": there's been alot of talk about this, and what exactly does RIM mean by it. Here's what I can tell you, from my research and usage of the phone: RIM basically put a separate graphics processor into the phone, which means that any of the graphics stuff should be a whole lot smoother and cleaner, since there's a distinct chip handling all of it. From what I've seen, it is pretty fluid, but it still does get hung up at times - especially when it comes to certain web pages. But overall, definitely an improvement. I heard it's also designed to support 3D animations and games...

Alright - enough of that. Time for the good stuff - is it worth it??
Short answer - absolutely.

Pros:
1) Battery life rocks. I feel for all of you iPhone and Android users whose phones die in like a day. This phone still keeps kicking after 2 days - without plugging it in once. Add to that the ability to actually change your battery, and that I tend to carry a spare just in case, and I can go practically a week without having to charge my phone. Incredible....

2) Faster processor. Thank you RIM, for finally adopting a processor that breaks the 1 GHz marker in a phone! Actually RIM upgraded a bunch of hardware - like the memory, along with the ability to do NFC communications. Thank you for reaching the 21st century RIM - we're happy to have you!

3) Global phone - this phone supports both the GSM and CDMA networks, so it can be used internationally - a big plus for our corporate employees. If you happen to travel internationally alot - don't worry, this phone's got you covered.

4) Hotspot capable - this phone I believe is the first BB to natively support hotspots. Yes, there are apps you can download for the other phones, but you usually have to pay a decent amount (the cheapest I can remember is around 35 - 40 bucks) This supports personal hotspot right out the box, and it does support N-type speeds.

Cons:

1) Apps. Actually - it's not what you think. It's not about the amount of apps - it's that quite a few don't work with OS 7 right now. Though this will be corrected as the OS matures and becomes more available.

2) Screen resolution - which still comes in at 640x480 pixels and 287 dpi. It's not bad - but I was hoping to get a qHD screen on a BB soon....

3) No 4G - this does annoy me greatly. 4G, especially on Verizon, is starting to get decent, and to not have that ability on this phone?? I get the fact that it's a battery hog, but with BB battery life's so good as it is, I can't imagine it detracting from it that much.

Honestly - what's been holding RIM back is their lack of upgrading the hardware. They always seem to be a year behind the phones of the present. They finally do some catching up with the 9930.
I'll update this review as I use the phone more - feel free to ask questions or correct me, since I'm sure I forgot something!!

Amazing customer service.
By The Special Reviewer
Ordered these protectors when the moto x first came out. Felt nice but the cut/shape was not right. Partially covered the bottom mic. Anyways, the company saw my review and they sent me an email the issue had been fixed and all the users who had receive the old screen were sent 3 new corrected screen protectors. Got my 3 and put one on and it fits perfect. Love the feel of these, they are not gummy like the competition. Great screen protectors from a great company.

If you want a crystal clear, full screen screen protector, buy these
By Movie Guy
These protectors are vastly superior to what came with my Moto X. They cover the whole screen, are cut out perfectly to expose all of the sensors. Some other brands fail to expose the ambient light sensor to the left of the earpiece which might make your phone dim the display more than it should if you have the phone set to automatic brightness.

The protectors also have a protective film on both sides - one that you remove before installation (the one on the "phone side" of the film) and one that you remove after installation (on the "out side" of the film). The one you remove after installation protects the protector if you use a plastic smoothing card to prevent bubbles during the install. One note - the little tabs on the discard protective films both say "peel off before applying" - that's not right - you'd peel off the "Step 1" film before applying and peel off the "Step 2" film after applying.

In my opinion the screen protectors are the perfect thickness. Some are so thick that they leave an annoying ridge at the edge of the protector. Others are so thin I don't think they'd do much to protect the screen from a ding.

These are also crystal clear. Since they are a clear protector and not a matte protector they are going to show finger smudges, etc. - there's no way around that but to go with a matte protector. In my opinion putting a matte protector on an X defeats the whole purpose of having such a crisp, sharp display.

One reviewer commented about dust. Like any protector, if you get dust under these you'll have a bubble. The way I avoid that is to use a spray duster (like you get for a computer keyboard etc.) to spray the area I'll work in and make it dust free. The protector generates a static charge when you peel the film off and if there is any dust in the area it will be drawn to your protector. Then I clean the screen with a lint free wipe and 91% alcohol. You can use the cloth that comes with the protectors but I use the ones that you buy at an optometry shop. Get all the oil and smudges and crud off the screen. Clean it several times if necessary until it is spotless. Then use the air duster to blow the screen off and make sure it's clear, and dust the surrounding area one last time.

When I apply the protector I apply it long edge first. If you apply short edge first it's hard not to get it crooked. I don't peel the whole protective film off at once. I peel the film back part way along the long edge, and then preposition and reposition the long edge until it is exactly at the edge of the glass and perfectly straight. Then squeegee the protector on working from the middle of the film to the top and bottom edges to keep bubbles out as you also work from the protector on from the left side of the phone to the right, peeling the protective film back from the underside as you go. It's hard to explain - a video would work better. Enjoy!

Great for Moto X
By Eric
These screen protectors fit the Motorola Moto X perfectly. Once the protector is placed on the screen it adheres well and will not move around. Before I applied mine, I cleaned the screen on my phone with a touch screen wipe (not supplied) then wiped it down with the micro fiber cloth which is supplied. It is important to eliminate any dust that's on the screen before putting a protector on. Dust will cause bubbles between the protector and the screen.

The protector has 2 layers that need to be removed while placing it on the screen of your phone. An easy way to eliminate dust is to peel back just a little on the upper left corner of the inside layer on the protector. Place the small exposed portion of the protector on your phones screen and make sure it is lined up with rest of the screen. Slowly finish peeling on the inside layer of the protector while at the same time attaching it to your phone. Putting the protector on this way will eliminate the chances of dust provided you are doing this in a clean area. Once the protector is attached you can smooth out any bubbles with the edge of a credit card. Once any bubbles are out then remove the outer layer of the protector and you're good to go.

My advice is to use this method when putting this screen protector on your phone. If you peel back the inner protective layer all at once then try putting it on your screen, the static electricity will attract dust onto the protector and it won't adhere properly and it will look terrible. Don't waste a protector. Take my word for it. If done right, you can't even tell you have a protector on your phone.

These protectors are a small price to pay to keep your phone safe and looking new. I imagine with normal use, this pack, which includes 3 protectors, will last a very long time. I am happy with my purchase and would recommend it.

Awesome Screen protector but wrong size!!!
By Morlock
I've received the Ballistic screen protector but, unfortunately, it was the exact same size and cut-out as my old S4 Phone. So it doesn't fully cover the amoled screen of the S5, nor does it have the large cut-out at the top for the front-facing camera (like the Picture). It only has the U-shape cut-out. :-(

If not that, I would have given this ballistic screen protector 5 stars.

Does not fit the S5

The screen protector does not fit S5. The cutouts are too large for the phone and screen protector leaves significant gap from the edges of the phone.

Ruins screen resolution
By Ron
I understand the matte screen, but these things make the screen grainy and totally ruin the resolution of the screen. Total waste of money. Already pulled it off the phone and trashed it. Anybody want the two pieces of junk left in the package?

Good Phone!
By ricky
In short, I am very happy with this phone. When I got it, I was a little surprised to see that it came from Europe, as it had a European charger. There was an EU to US power converter inside the package (but outside of the actual phone box). Another thing that is important to know, is that this phone IS unlocked. For some reason, amazon doesn't make that very clear on their website. I took a gamble and assumed that it was unlocked, and ordered the phone. The phone works great with my t mobile sim card! very happy!

So Happy!!!
By elito
So far this is the best purchase I have made in quite some time. I was so tired of paying so much for my cellphone through "Big Red" AND constantly worrying about having a charged phone. I decided it was time to switch to something smaller, more simple, and hassle free. You see, I'm kind of weird: I seem to use my cell phone for calling and texting. I don't need to run 1000 high-speed apps and play all the latest games. I need to make calls, send texts, and occasionally look something up on the internet or use a quick app like for Redbox or something. I can do all that with this phone, and get this; my phone lasts for 5 days without having to recharge. Love this phone! And no contract; I can swap out SIM cards, take it overseas, etc. Buy it!!! By the way, I "downgraded" from a Droid 2 Global.

Great Value for the Money!!
By SBjork
I am not giving this phone 5-stars because it's the best phone ever. I am rating based on the value for the money. This phone is for my son since he had an older feature (basic) phone that finally died. This Galaxy 5360 is a Andriod Smartphone with WiFi and GPS. It is unlocked so it works on my AT&T network without a data plan. I have the HTC One X, a great phone; however, I cannot find anything that this Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 can't do that my 5 times more expensive phone does. It surfs the net, downloads apps and data, has GPS navigation, a camera, music, voice dialing, fast processor a newer OS (2.3.6 vs my OS 2.3.5.) messaging, video, music, etc. Sure it's smaller and lighter but better for him. It starts fast, long battery life, clear screen and works on any GSM network. I use AT&T 850 in California and he has no problems. Watch Netflix with stereo headphones in Hi Definition and clear audio, YouTube, video games, conference calling, voice to text messaging and email,....everything the big phones do. I can't believe what a bargain it is. It came fast and when I started it the default language was Serbian/Slavic. The owner's manual was written for Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro. No big deal, just pop in the SIM and the battery and fire it up, choose the language button on the right side of the screen, (not the obvious emergency button) and choose American English or any language you like and that was it; Now its an American Cellphone; we were off to the races. It connected and was ready to go. The wall charger is the European variety but came with an adapter for U.S. and an additional typical Computer USB to (micro-usb) phone cable connector. It did not come with headphones.The headphone jack is the standard 3.5mm type, available anywhere. It uses the standard charger/data cable Micro-USB type and connects to the computer to charge and modify so I use the same charger as my HTC or Blackberry. Like all new phones it ships with the smaller SD card that is only 2GB so I suggest buying a 16GB or 32GB if you want to fill it with photos, videos and music. In this respect it has the same storage capacity as any of the best androids or iPhones. All the features of an expensive phone for 1/5th the price. I am very pleased and so is he. Two thumbs up!

Answer To My Prayers
By Alexandria Tikalsky
I am a long distance runner usually logging 10-25 miles a week and I've had a few dozen other armbands that have fallen apart over time. I'm a small 5'4 woman and every single armband I've ever had was too big and I constantly had to adjust them. This one has really strong velcro, I'd almost rather slide it down my arm than try to undo the velcro. The phone is not inside a plastic case in this one which makes it really easy to change songs, volume, check your distance, etc. I can't recommend this armband enough!

Not sweat proof
By D. Patrick
I bought this primarily for running (outside and on a treadmill). I have an Urban Armor Gear (UAG) case that I use for everyday protection of the phone. The phone must be removed from the UAG case in order to fit into this armband. The armband seems to hold the phone securely and I don't worry about it falling out... but there is a problem with using this for workouts. After a 4 mile run on the treadmill I pulled the headphones out of the headphone jack and realized that I was not getting in sound from my speaker. I immediately removed the phone from the armband and discovered the inside of the case and back of the phone (where the speaker is) was drenched in sweat. I removed the back cover from the phone and discovered the inside of the battery compartment was moist as well. The problem with this case is that there are cutout holes for the speaker, camera lens and flash. These holes allow the phone to have direct contact with your skin when it's strapped to your arm. Those holes allow perspiration in. I'm not sure why the designers felt it necessary to have these cutouts since the last thing you're going to be doing is taking pictures while this thing is strapped to you arm. This design would also be a problem if you find yourself running outside and get caught in an unexpected rain. I'll be looking for a different product to use for working out.

edit: there was a typo above. I meant to say "was not getting ANY sound from my speaker" - not "in sound" as was stated above. Luckily after drying out my phone the speaker now works again.

Overall this is a good product but it could be better. Use caution if using it while exercising. The company does seem interested in improving their products based on consumer's feedback.

Finally Found
By H. Swayne
Hey I had been looking for a armband for my generation 7 iPod Nano and I've finally found it. I went through three other armbands with little success mostly with the armband being too short with my 18" biceps. I asked questions on the Amazon Community about folks experience with this armband but they were right and wrong let me explain. Many who answered my question about whether this band would fit my bicep simply measured the band to find it was too short to fit an 18" bicep but they failed to do one thing; This armband STRETCHES making it more than adequate to fit snug and run with confidence!
I love that it does not cover the screen eliminating condensation buildup and sight distortion when sweating. The rubber fits snug and is thick enough to protect the unit should you drop it. Love it but be careful about the answers you get on products not everyone does investigative work!

Really Impressed!
By berggie
I consider myself fairly competent at eliminating the bubbles that have appeared in every screen protector that I have applied over the years. I usually bought based on "recommendations" and price and found most of them to be adequate. When I was looking for a protector for my new Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 (some people are "Apple" junkies, I have my 3rd Kindle in 3 years... my grandsons love the "hand-me-downs"), I was impressed with the review for the Moshi iVisor and decided to pay what I thought was a fairly steep price and give it a try. It was a snap to install; there are no bubbles because there is no adhesive touching the glass. Assuming it lasts (I'll update this if I encounter any future problems) I can highly recommend this Screen Protector.

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!

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.)
