Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Tape over the display               

• If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping over the glass.
• Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone’s display until the whole face is covered.
• This will keep glass shards contained and provide structural integrity when prying and lifting the display.
• Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from any glass shaken free during the repair.
• If the broken glass makes it difficult to get a suction cup to stick in the next few steps, try folding a strong piece of tape (such as duct tape) into a handle and lifting the display with that instead.
