How to fix the cracked glass on my iphone
"surprisingly easy"
How I did it:
It was actually a lot easier than I expected. I ordered a kit from Amazon which included the glass with digitizer and a suction cup and screwdriver to get the case apart.
There's a video:http://vimeo.com/5670473 that describes how to do the repair.
I thought the trickiest part was attaching the tiny connectors. It took me a second try (after putting it back together and turning it on) to get all the connectors back.
Lessons & tips:
Watch the video a few times so you understand the process, then have it running/pausing while doing it. Take your time, and don't lose any of the screws, they're tiny!
