Overview: The iPhone 3G glass and LCD screen repair can be completed by most people with avarage technical ability. The iPhone 3G screen is made up of 3 core layers which is the glass/digitizer, midframe, and LCD. You first need to determine which components are broken. If the glass is broken but the LCD screen still displays the image correctly then you only need the glass/digitizer component. If both the glass is broken and the LCD is not displaying correctly, then you need both the glass/digitizer and LCD.
The iPhone screen components are layered in the following order. The glass/digitizer is fixed to the midframe with double sided tape. The LCD attaches to the bottom side of the mid-frame. It's critical no dust or debris gets between the screen and the LCD as this will be visible when the iPhone is powered on.

Overview: The iPhone 4 screen manufacturing process is different than the iPhone 3G 3Gs. The LCD is fused to the glass/digitizer so you don't have the option of just replacing individual components. To properly replace the iPhone screen, you need the whole assembly that includes the glass/digitizer and LCD in a single unit. More iPhone Screen Repair details can be found on www.iMobileDoctor.com.

iPhone Screen repairs are one of the most common repairs for iPhones at the moment.
How can we prevent the iPhone screen from breaking or becoming damaged in a fall? The short answer is that there isn't anything that will definitively stop the screen cracking or breaking. All we can do is try to minimise the impact in case of a fall. A rubber case for the back provides a good deal of impact protection in the event of a fall. The bumpers for the iPhone 4 also provide a degree of shock protection.
The other positive to a rubber case is it helps it grip to what ever surface it is sat/lay on or whichever pocket it is in. When iPhone screens do break they look a lot worse than they are and look like the phone is broke beyond repair.
The iPhone is surprisingly quite hardy and resilient to falls and breaking but we tend to drop them quite often and also when they do fall they tend to have a habit of falling on something sharp like the corner of a step. All we can do is try to minimise the impact in case of a fall. A rubber case for the back provides a good deal of impact protection in the event of a fall. The bumpers for the iPhone 4 also provide a degree of shock protection. |
