No included bezel or wifi antenna, but you do get a quality, working digitizer, highly recommend!
I had bought another iPad repair kit that included a bezel, wifi antenna, full set of tools for same price as this digitizer, but the other digitizer was a piece of crap, did not work at all, neither Home button or any part of the touch screen. The other digitizer had something to do with fix cracked, if you know what I mean, I do not recommend it!On the other hand, this digitizer worked perfectly, the cables to attach to iPad were much better than the other digitizer, adhesive is already applied, easy to remove covering of adhesive, then simply put in place, press firmly, better yet, apply some heat and pressure around the perimeter and I now have a perfectly working iPad, basically good as new, Worth the money to salvage the older iPad, it will be perfect for my younger nephews and nieces.So, if your current bezel is in good shape, wifi is working, this kit has all you need to get back up and running.

Worth it!
I had been putting off replacing my digitizer and I finally did it. It was a pretty easy process, directions were included. My screen had shattered don’t was a bit of a bear to remove the old one. The tools that came with the product are pretty light. I had better luck using the flat screw driver that came with it to get in under the screen to get started. It could be I had to do that because my screen was so broken. If the screen wasn’t shattered and just not working, swapping them would have been a different experience.When replacing make sure you test the screen responsiveness over the whole screen. I tested that I could unlock it and and power down but when I got done the lower two rows didn’t work. Luckily I hadn’t pressed the screen down and was able to pull it back up to try to reseat the ribbon cables which fix it. I found online if you make your icons jiggle and grab one and try to drag it all over the screen, to all four corners, that’s the best way to check the whole screen is working.The directions don’t mention that their is a plastic film on the under side of the screen. I almost didn’t take it off because it didn't say to, I thought it might just be the way the back of it was held together, but both the back and front have protective covers.I was worried about cheap/bad adhesion. I found online the suggestion of heating the new screen to soften the tape just like you do to remove it. I heated it back up and turned it upside down and stacked a bunch of books on it for the night. Makes sense and seems like a good idea to do.When the screen is not on you can see a bunch of horizontal lines, maybe every 1/4”. At first I was disappointed but when the screen is on you can’t see them unless the light is hitting it just right, but really its a non-issue.Over all very happy so far. It was a reasonable price to bring an older iPad back to life.

No real issues here
After reading reviews, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on one. The digitizer on the iPad I was working on was shattered, and removed when I placed the order. It arrived promptly on time, and looked good. Opening it and examining the home button, made me want to go with it as it looked identical to the original. The only real issue I had was plugging in the ribbon cable for the home button, it was much harder to slide in than the original. I got it in with a good set of tweezers and finished the install. So the 2nd issue I ran into is the corner to the left of the home button doesn't fully seat in place. I don't think it's the adhesive's fault, it could be I should have cleaned it off a little better, or formed the digitizers cable a little better. Overall I'm pleased with it as I gave it a 5 star. Adhesive I gave 4 due to that may have been the corner issue I mentioned, and ease of install, in general this is not an easy install so that's kind of a trick rating ;)Update - I bumped it down a star, the adhesive has come off on one side of the digitizer. I can't edit the adhesive rating, but it's definitely lacking.

Perfect fix!!
This product was just what I needed to fix my daughter iPad mini 3. I use YouTube to guide me and this item to fix it. Works amazing!!! I have not had any issues. And originally my daughter iPad mini is white but I just use this screen and it work just fine. She just has a white home button lol.

Good product but not so good
Well I assumed the product would protect the touch screen of the iPad. However, it did not. The screen protecter is still in tact while my baby touch screen itself is cracked. So now I have to get another screen. I’m not sure how that managed to happen. I guess I can say the product holds up well.

Stopped working properly on the 2nd day!
I assumed that all digitizer would work the same so I purchased this one based on price. I was surely wrong on that assumption! The kit had everything needed to install. The printed instructions were not very good but there are numerous videos online to show how it is done. It is actually not very hard. I turned on the IPAD and tested before using the adhesive strips to stick it to the case. Everything worked fine so I pulled the strips and stuck it down. It worked perfect for about a day. Then I started noticing “dead” areas on the edges that were unresponsive. A short time later it started going crazy and became COMPLETELY UNUSABLE! To top that off, the adhesive turned loose and the screen was only partially attached. The moral of the story - THIS IS A CHEAP PIECE OF JUNK! I would not recommend to buy!

I have two iPads back up and running with this kit!
It arrived quickly, the included tools and online instructions made a pretty complex installation process totally achievable, and my two broken iPad Minis are fully functional again. FYI for better adhesion I did end up regluing with e8000 glue and a lot of clamps.

Screen cracks
Fine kit, but screen cracks very easily. Touch is very finicky

Works perfectly when you install correctly
The media could not be loaded. Came with all the tools. Was my first install. Instructions are terrible so I used YouTube. My process:1. Hairdryer worked to loosen2. Unscrewed cable for home button and screwed in to new one (so I didn’t use the new cable). Found this to be way easier3. First time I didn’t push the digitizer cable in enough. Sealed iPad and only half the screen worked. So, disassembled and used the tools to push in the cable as far as I could. ****ensure that the cable is in so that you can’t see the white lines****4. Sealed up again and voila. All worked perfectly. Button feels good. Seal is good.Only negatives - due to the crap instructions I didn’t realize that they provide you with a piece to create a new edge. I forgot to put it in. Don’t care and don’t want to take apart again.Also, there is a small air bubble. I cannot see it when the iPad is on so don’t care. May have been me installing.All in all very happy. Beats the $140 quote I got for a shop to do it. Highly recommended
