Hi,

I would like to repair my ipad 4 which has the front screen broken, the problem is that it has lost its shape by the blows. What solution could you look for? All the corners are dented, I do not know if a new front screen would fall perfect or would be suspended for lack of space. Adj photos

You'd need a new case as well as a new screen unit. The cost to repair it would be more than it's worth. Have you considered getting a newer iPad?

You'll need to replace the glass and that little plastic frame around the outside. In regards to the corners use a pair of " pinch " pliers and a file to take out the dents and file down the rough edges. With patience and a steady hand you can have it looking like new. The back case isn't that bad. I've had worse and managed to get them straightened out fine.

Hi
I recently purchased a repair kit with the front screen panel, tools, rubber and rubber that goes around the frame. Then post the result to see how it is.
