Glass only: replacing the crack, keeping your display

Open a plain white picture and a plain black one at full brightness. Look closely.

• No lines, no black or purple patches, no bleeding ink-like spots.
• Touch works everywhere, including over the cracks.
• Brightness and colour are even across the screen.

All three true? Glass only may be possible. Any of them false? The display underneath is damaged too, and a screen replacement is the fix.

The phone's screen is removed, the cracked glass is carefully separated from the display, and new glass is bonded on with a laminating press so no bubbles are left. The screen then goes back in and is tested.

It's a careful job and not common — 41 glass-only jobs on Android phones in the last 90 days, out of 1,505 screen jobs. On some models, separating the glass risks the display, and we'll recommend a screen replacement instead.

30 days, covering defects of the new glass, such as bubbles or the glass lifting.
