Episode 110: I replaced the screen on a Samsung Galaxy S3 a week before Brian's description on KH. I was able to use a hair dryer to soften the glue and strips of two sided tape to help secure the screen. Never took a phone apart previously. Amazed that the thing worked: it was like assembling an old 386 computer with components about one-fiftieth the size. Cost $100. (Apparently, you can replace the glass only for $10 if the LCD and digitizer are intact, but the chance of success without prior experience is much less than replacing the entire display).

I used to work at a cell phone store and I can tell you you're right. I think I've successfully replaced maybe 2 glasses without breaking anything else. Much easier to just replace the works. Plus, if the glass broke you never know how much longer the digitizer will last.

The other part about replacing ONLY the glass is that most of us don't have the skill or tools to align it PERFECTLY with the digitizer/frame. Even a slight, imperceptible flaw in the rebonding will make the glass much likely to crack again.
