Better instructions might have helpedBy walap
The kit arrived quickly and included several additional "guitar pick" tools not shown in the picture. Unfortunately, no directions are included, so I had to search for a YouTube video (from DirectFix)which made it look easier than it was.
I'm an electrical engineer with a lot of experience in do-it-yourself repair projects, but ran into problems following the video instructions. The pry tool was not strong enough to lift the panel, and quickly broke. (In retrospect, one of the "guitar pick" tools might have worked better, if I had known that's what it was for.)
The next problem came when separating the LCD from the glass panel. The video showed it being pried from the bottom edge. Unfortunately, the screw holes on the sides snap together, even with the screws removed, so you really have to release the sides first. But I followed the video, pried from the bottom, and cracked the LCD display in the process.
Finally, if the old glass is shattered, separating it from the plastic frame is messier than advertised.
In my opinion, it's the type of repair that most skilled people could do correctly the second time, after learning from their mistakes on the first attempt. A link to more complete instructions might have helped.
For those wanting an easier (but costlier) do-it-youself repair, you might want to consider ordering the complete panel, digitizer and LCD as an assembled unit. That makes it more of a "plug-in" replacement job, with less potential for grief.

If I teach her to replace her own screen maybe she'll stop breaking them.By Euro Nation
Worked great until she broke it again... and again... and one more time for good measure. At least they're cheap so I can just keep buying them. It's as strong as the original... broke just as easily. Install is simple, check the youtube video.

Not for the 3GSBy Brett Krumrey
I purchased from New Harbor and before installing the replacement I looked at the part number. 821-621-A (which they sent) is the digitizer part number for the 3G, not the 3GS. When I contacted the company they admitted that's all they have. The correct part number is 821-766-A. Although they are the same size and the connectors are similar, they are not the same and searching the web will find that this will cause the touchscreen to behave erratically (which is also documented on Amazon). Don't buy this.
