T Phael Black Digitizer Repair Kit for iPad 9.7 2018 iPad 6 6th Gen A1893 A1954 Touch Screen Digitizer Replacement (Without Home Button) +Pre-Installed Adhesive + Tools

Works great

I use to do this for a living, so Im not a person who dont know what they are doing. The digitizer touch screen is pretty decent, but the glass was cheap and crack easily.

So, this product is exactly as advertised and works very well to replace a broken digitizer on a 6th gen iPad. It provides essentially an as OEM replacement. My son dropped a metal lunch box on his iPad and destroyed the screen. Directly at the point of impact was an incredible star fracture, 1000s of tiny shards of glass. A few radiated further. It was very difficult to remove and just kept breaking into smaller and smaller pieces even with two layers of high strength packing tape all over it. But, that has nothing to do with this kit. The kit does provide almost all the tools needed to complete the repair. I additionally used a x-acto type hobby knife to cut around the layers of packing tape and to lift the corners of protection film to peel them off. Also, I used a heat gun to soften the factory glue to aid removal. I gave the adhesive on the replacement 4 stars because its not as strong as the factory glue, which might be a good thing if I have to replace it again. I believe it will be completely secure, but will update if it is not. The screen itself is a perfect, tight fit to the frame, as OEM. As another review has said, the only thing I could find that it didnt provide as glue components for the button and bracket, and the black plastic frame that surrounds the camera at the top. I made do. Also, for ease of install, I gave 4 stars for just one reason: on the right of the screen, the ribbon connectors that lead to the connector are very rigid as to not fold into place easily. I really had to massage the LCD screen and the digitizer a few times to get everything to fold back down into place. Overall, I was able to make it work, but it took some patience and a bit of rework to get everything to fold down behind the screen. This is a real nit-pick type thing and wouldnt dissuade me from using the product again. Watch several youtube videos and take your time. I spent 2/3 of my time on the repair in removing, cleaning, and prepping for new parts and the result was excellent.

It has a visible grid, unlike the original which is perfectly clear. The grid is a clear white so from a few feet away you dont see it. Its for my kids and was only $20 so its not that big a deal and so far seems to work ok...but if you want it to look like the original, dont get this one.
