If your S3 glass is broken but screen and touch still work, just buy this and DIY
This product is a perfect repair kit for your Samsung Galaxy SIII glass if you've broken it. Here's what you need to know: -This will only work if the glass is broken but the screen and touch still work. -The kit includes almost everything you need, and the advantage of this kit is the pre-fit adhesive gasket (as opposed to other kits that include just 3M adhesive tape and you have to arrange it yourself. -YOU ALSO NEED TO HAVE: hot hairdryer or heat gun (required), 70-90% rubbing alcohol (required), soft screen-safe cloth (required), tweezers (highly recommended), Q-tips (recommended), box cutter or sharp knife for beginning prying (recommended). -It includes accurate, easy instructions, but you should watch the video (link included in the packaging) also. -A cell phone repair shop quoted me $120 for this repair. I did it in about two hours with this kit and it's perfect. Some tips for when using this repair kit: -HAVE PATIENCE WHEN HEATING AND PRYING THE OLD GLASS OFF! 80-90% of the repair time is careful removal of the old, broken glass. -Put strong, clear (e.g. packing) tape on the front of the old, broken glass before you begin prying it off. -Make your environment as dust free as possible (clean the area first, do the repair on the bathroom counter with shower on cold, spray the air with water before using the room, however you can reduce dust) -The things to be cautious of are scratching or breaking the LCD under the glass, tearing off the buttons attached to the glass (you'll see), losing the earpiece grill or home button, -If you leave dust or smudges on the bare LCD screen or the back of the new piece of glass, they'll be on your screen forever. Take the time to check very carefully and keep those surfaces clean before you put the new glass in place.
