RepairPartsPlus for iPad 7th Gen | 8th Screen Replacement Glass Touch Digitizer Premium Kit (10.2, 7 | 8, A2197 A2198 A2200 A2270 A2428 A2429 A2430) + Home Button, Adhesive - Black

it was good!

I don’t recommend buying any parts from RepairPartPlus. It is a waste of money. Customer service is not customer oriented. I regret my purchase from them.

With the help of YouTube it’s was fairly simple to put on.....taking off the old screen was the hardest part

So it does come with metal tools. But because they were metal these tools marked up the edges of the device when remoting the broken glass... this may not have occurred with a normal repair but my original glass was totally shattered which made removal challenging. Instructions are a just link to an OK video, not the best but it was fine. MOST IMPORTANT - this replacement screen has NO oleophobic coating of any kind. That means that fingerprints, etc. are out of control. You must get a separate screen protector to make this useable. You have been warned.

Update: 8/30/22 Seller contacted me and send a replacement screen which arrived quick, I waited to do update to see if this screen replacement on 7 gen iPad was going to work properly after at least a week of use and it is doing great. Easy installation and it is working perfect, no issues so far and installation was a breeze. Just make sure you get your own adhesive tube to get screen to adhiere properly. Installation is a plus; Easy installation after carefully removing all broken glass pieces from original screen and cleaning shell, it worked really good and looked wonderful. 2 days later: screen lagging, touch response is annoying and slow, adhesion is not holding. Disappointed after what I thought was a success this screen is just not working for me. Tools were good and like I said it seemed great at first but TWo days after installation screen is acting up!

Great quality and online instructions

Very impressed with the product. Went on YouTube and watched several videos before attempting. My only suggestion is that if you are not a patient person do not attempt this. Use your hairdryer to thoroughly and I repeat thoroughly heat little portions at a time of the side of your ipad. Then attempt to lift it will make things much much much easier don’t worry about heat damage just don’t and be patient it took me an hour to get off my screen and then another 30 minutes to get off the little pieces that I cracked from the screen because I was impatient and tried to pry it up too fast. Patience is the key to this. Patience and heat. Once the screen is off and clean, the rest goes so quickly. Just be patient and follow directions. I watched several YouTube video. I recommend you doing the same and pick the person who makes the most sense to you. Was absolutely over the hill that I only had to spend $65 to replace the digitizer (top piece of glass on Your ipad is called the digitizer if you didn’t already know that. That piece of info will come in handy later). I priced it out in my area once with Apple and once with an Apple care contractor both were around $200-$250. Totally understand now that is the price of labor because it can take so freaking long to get the top piece off. However so worth it if your patient.

This was something that I had never done before. Followed directions to a T right after I watched 4 videos on the proper procedures. Nailed it on the first try. Delivered on time with great packaging.

Great screen. adheres well, and fits perfect

It works well with easy instructions and necessary parts for repair. I would recommend and it’s much less expensive than replacing the screen professionally
