Duration: 45 minutes

Steps: 1 Steps

Heads up, champ! Make sure you’ve got your tools ready and your workspace clear before diving in. Let’s nail this repair together!

Follow this hip guide to jazz up your cracked iPhone screen with some snazzy packing tape before diving into the repairs!

Step 1

Pop on some safety shades to keep your peepers safe from any rogue glass during this fabulous fix!

– Got a spider-webbed display? No worries! Slap some tape over that glass to keep it from crumbling and to dodge any potential ouchies while you work.

– Whip out some clear packing tape and lay it across your iPhone’s face like you’re mummifying it, until the entire screen is under wraps.

– Having trouble with the suction cup sticking because of the cracked glass? No problem! Just grab a sturdy piece of tape, like duct tape, twist it into a makeshift handle, and use it to lift the display. Easy peasy!
