I had my iphone 4 for about a week before dropping it and cracking the glass front. I don't want to pay $200 to have Apple just ship me a new one so I was thinking of fixing it myself. The touch screen still works fine. Its just the glass that is cracked. There are a couple different options on ebay and I wasn't sure what I needed to get.

Option 1)
Black Front Screen Glass Lens for Apple iPhone 4G OS 4 - eBay (item 290467725364 end time Sep-23-10 11:35:36 PDT)

Option 2)
iPhone 4 Black Replacement Touch Glass & Digitizer OEM - eBay (item 220643825995 end time Sep-24-10 09:57:44 PDT)

Neither one of those will work. The reason being is that the display on the iPhone 4 is manufactured just like the original iPhone. It's all one unit the Glass,Digitizer and LCD are all one part. Unlike the 3G & 3GS where you could easily take apart the display assembly with the iPhone 4 this cannot be done. If you search on ebay iPhone 4 complete display assembly can be purchased for $119 upwards of $200.
