🔧 Repair, Revive, Rejoice! Your iPad deserves a second chance!
This replacement digitizer assembly for the iPad 5 (2017) is designed specifically for models A1822 and A1823. It includes a new home button, a complete tool kit for easy installation, and is shipped in protective packaging. Note that the LCD screen is not included, and while the new button does not support Touch ID, you can retain the original button for that feature.

Great touch screen
I have never done any repairs to ANY digital equipment in my life so this was a life saver. Our options were to get rid of our 2015 ipad or attempt repair since Apple's cost to repair was ridiculously expensive. Frankly, the original ipad screen is difficult to remove and saving the original fingerprint button is difficult, so I was very happy that this product came with its own button already in place and works great [but does not recognize the fingerprint]. I don't need this feature and hence happy with the purchase since most apps have already gone to face ID, I think this feature is not needed. The screen has good adhesive and I did not need to add more tape or adhesive. Glass is of good quality and touch screen works great. The only difficult part is taking the original ipad screen off. Do see a few youtube videos to see the installation steps since it will help you a lot. Wear eye protection and gloves to avoid any injuries during original glass removal. This product helped me save a lot of money than giving it for repairs to apple or repair shop. We have used it for about a month now and everything working great.

Worked perfectly, pre glued on strips the best.
Dropped my ipad 5th generation 128gb ($299 from costco) on the power button edge, screen cracked and power button seized up. Initially ordered another touch screen digitizer that cracked right out of the box. This one was awesome. By the way, i consider myself a excellent diy person, but never messed with an iPad or similar electronic. This product was great righ out of the box( regret not making a video), the Phillips screwdriver was the right size and magnetic. The touchscreen had pre-glued on strips. Disposable wipes were ok, but i had to use a microfiber cloth to clean the lcd screen before final installation. The home button doesn't support fingerprint, so i warmed up the bracket holding the preinstalled one on, removed it, and slipped it my old one.Overall I found everything to be just what's needed.I had to remove power button, sand it down a little, scraped off glue from inside edges where old touchscreen was, followed YouTube videos. For $24, I saved $250 what apple was asking for touchscreen ( not to mention the power button problem)

Super easy
New "Home" button is included and already installed. I dunno if competing products do that but that's a big plus, as it removes perhaps the trickiest step in replacing the screen. The package contains most needed tools (the only welcome addition would be a pair of fine tweezers). Also, the cleaning wipes could be bigger--I had to use different ones to get a good, clean screen at the end. My only real negative is that no adhesive is included in the package, so you need to order 2mm double sided tape separately to finish the install. That increases the total cost by about 8$. That said, I read somewhere that the typical tape included in those replacement screens is generally not very good so it's better to get a good product. All in all, the process was straightforward, relatively easy, and my iPad now looks and works like new.

Do not buy. 2 tried. 2 failed. Bad glue & ghost touch
See latest edit at bottom for details on 1 star rating.1st installationInitially... this seemed to be a mostly viable affordable solution despite visible imperfections and 'wavy-ness' in the screen. With close attention to instructional videos I found online I completed the repair in a relatively straightforward and anal-retentive manner that took me about 3.5 hours. Everything seemed to go according to plan. However when I was completely done I noticed the glue along the right side edge of the screen did not fully adhere and there is discernable movement when I press on that edge despite ensuring I had cleaned away any old glue and made sure the screen fit in properly before exposing the adhesives and fixing it into place. I attempted to apply consistent, even pressure overnight with some books and a heavy stapler to keep the screen edge in contact overnight but it didn't solve the problemFor the moment everything functions as needed but that movement along the right edge of the screen has me worried it will eventually work it's easy loose and I'll have to install another screen (a process I'm not anxious to repeat).I will update my review as things progress. Honestly, if it doesn't get any worse and continues to function properly for another few months, I'll add another star.Edit:I added an additional star since, upon hearing my concerns, the company sent me a replacement. I have not yet installed the newer one mostly due to a lack of time. However, while there is an area (near the button cable junction) that remains loose, it has not gotten worse.Another problem I have had which I cannot necessarily attribute to the replacement screen is that my iPad now seems excessively sensitive to case cover magnets which tell it when the cover is closed/opened (on multiple models).Edit: I removed 3 stars after the 1st screen began reporting phantom touches all the time making the iPad unusable. The replacement screen's glue was worse than than the first, the camera cutout is in the wrong place and entire screen keeps moving around and trying falling out while FaceTimeing. And the ghost touch problem returned.I'm going to try a different brand.

Did the job.
This is a very good product. Contained all of the items I needed to get the job done except for a heat gun and safety glasses. The glass on my screen was shattered into very small pieces so I had a more difficult time removing the old glass and ended up damaging the home screen button cable. One of the great things about this product is that is comes with its own pushbutton and cables already attached to the screen (what a relief). It's all back together and working. My skill level: I have never replaced an iPad or iPhone screen. Overall I am handy individual that can repair many types of items such as musical instruments, appliances and some electronic items. MAKE SURE YOU WEAR SAFETY GLASSES to protect your eyes from glass shards from the old screen.
