iPod glass...
I decided to buy a used replacement iPod 2nd generation for my son, because his mother broke the glass on his a few years ago in a fit of rage.
Anyway, the glass is spidered out, and needs replaced...it still works, just the glass is broken. Since it still works fine, I can't seem to find a good enough excuse to toss it out. I've found many different repair kits out there, and don't know which one is better and how easy it is to fix. The kits can be had for $20 and less, including the tools used to make the repair, and to send it out would cost me about $70 plus shipping. Anyone done this yet? What's the most difficult thing about doing it on your own?

My nephew has been doing it on the side for a while. My son broke his 4th gen ipod but my nephew claims something about the glass being glued. 3rd gen and earlier are supposed to be cake. I have never done one but my 17 year old nephew has done maybe 10 with no mistakes.
If it were me I'd send it out so you have the warranty.

is this the Ipod touch? if so it's probobly the digitizer/glass. It's a pain to replace. I replaced the glass and LCD panel in a mac which required heating the boarders where the glass seated to melt the glue some and pry it up gently (dangerous giving that it had spidered out like that) but if you take your time you can do it.
