Default Screen digitizer and housing

My girlfriend dropped has dropped her phone a couple of times and I'm looking at replacing her screen digitiser and housing. I've previously replaced the housing on my old HTC Magic/G2, so I've had some experience.

I was wondering if anyone here has replaced the screen digitiser or housing.

What kind of quality was the housing? Where from ebay?

Digitiser - same functionality as the original, precise, responsive?


Appreciate any input

Default screen replacement

i am in the middle of replacing my lcd and digitizer on my inc s..
all i can say it is a nightmare of a job and i repair alot of phones..
if anyone cracks or smashes their screen, here is a bit of advise , try and find someone who sells the whole screen with the front housing of the phone already built up or at least the screen,digitiser and touch keys already assembled with adhesive strips..

Default screen replacement

i wouldn't have said its the easiest screen to replace , it takes a bit of patience as you need some double sided strong strips as the digitizer i ordered didn't come with any.
you need a heat gun or hair drier to get the digitizer off and when you put it back together you have to keep the dust out..
i did have to replace the lcd also which did make the job a bit more difficult for me, would have been a bit easier if i had just repalced the digitizer.
ok i went a bit overboard with the nightmare bit but didnt have any double sided tape suitable for the job..
