Good Quality Excellent Presentation Works Great With One Caveat
Received well packaged and hermetically sealed. First one received directly from Amazon warehouse was damaged in shipping. Not enough packing by probably a lazy warehouse packer. A2Z quickly refunded so I ordered again. Everything pictured arrived. Tools of interest include the green suction cup (very good), metal spudger, and the picks. Digitizer is good quality. Could've been better if they included a small amount of extra adhesive as around the home / wifi antenna was no adhesive at all. Thankfully I had some here or there would've been an easy access port. Other than that it looked factory and performed flawlessly. Would definitely order again.

Don't forget the iOpener Pad!
My mom's iPad was shattered when my 3 year old niece dropped it on the floor. Having fixed an iPhone 5C recently I told her I would take a crack at fixing this.The parts were delivered in the promised condition, I had MOST of the tools I needed to fix her iPad. The website they provide for instructions is a little confusing and not intuitive, but I eventually found the screen replacement instructions.One thing you are not told, until you dive into the instructions, is that the screen is glued on, and you need to melt the glue in order to pull it off. Wefix sells a pad (iOpener) that you microwave and lay on the iPad and it will melt the glue, but this was not a recommended product when I was in check-out therefore I did not know to buy it. I used a hair dryer and it worked well, except was a bit hot, I do not recommend this route. Here is the iOpener link (http://www.amazon.com/iFixit-IF145-198-5-iOpener-Kit/dp/B00U3TCX08/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1442331823&sr=8-1&keywords=iopener)Once I got the screen off and all the shards out the rest of the procedure was quite simple, I just had to replace a single cable, the screen has adhesive strips on it, so once I had it centered just right I tore off the adhesive strips and was good to go.

Not your average screen kit!
Wow! I have replaced quite a few screens on tablets and phones and have never gotten such a complete kit. It included the touchscreen with adhesive, home button, and camera shield all pre installed! It also included a new plastic trim ring and a real miro screw driver. I don't normally use the suction cups for screen removal, but this kit included 3, one of which was a real glass grabber with a flip handle for the suction.At the price, you will not find an easier to install kit.Oh, yea, the screen actually worked too.

worth the money but not worth the risk of DIY
I did not do this myself. After talking with IT staff at work, I was dissuaded from doing this myself. Instead I went to a local electronics guy who charged me $40. He used the kit and said it worked fine for him. Without the kit, he would've charged me $95 so it saved me a lot.

No instructions
First time replacing iPad screen myself. It works. But, I would recommend getting a better model. There are no instructions included to tell you what to do with the tools they give you. I watched a Youtube video. Other reviews have complained the adhesive is weak. They're right. It doesn't stick well. Instructions would help. There are other screen replacements that include guitar picks, that might help a bit. Took me about 3 hours to do.

Decent but low quality.
I've replaced screens before including my iPad, iPhone, etc. and I was somewhat disappointed in this particular one. Overall it works perfectly fine but the quality is lacking. I can see some type of grid pattern on the backside of the glass and the adhesive isn't very strong. It's actually poorly designed because it's lacking a small section of adhesive along the bottom along side of the home button. I can press that corner down with my fingers but it immediately pops back up. It's also separating and coming apart along the entire left hand side of the iPad. Otherwise my screen doesn't have a crack in it anymore so I guess that's a plus. I'll definitely have to replace it again though due to the adhesive issue. I don't recommend this particular one though. It also doesn't come with directions but they do have detailed directions on their website.

Excellent product top quality, just buy a WIFI antena as well.
Product was excelelent and well packaged. The tools supplied were sufficient but a small craft knife was more usefull for lifting the old damaged screen. I would like to give some advise to anybody attempting to do this when buying a replacment screen also buy a replacment WIFI antena, the chances of you removing the screen without damaging this are very unlikely and for the sake of a few extra pounds then i would recommend buying one of these as well and changing both at the same time. The rpoble is the screen is stuck directly to the antena and it is very difficult if not impossible to remove it without damaging / ripping the antena.Allin all i have saved my self a furtune by doing this myself along with a little help from some videos on you tube.
