Yep. If you've never worked on an iphone before you should be aware that there are many delicate components you'll be in direct contact with before you even get to the home button. You could end up with a lot more problems than your home button giving you trouble now and then. That being said...

Definitely a good idea to check for plastic films. A few other things to look for are broken shards of glass, adhesive and dirt that could be obstructing the ear speaker. On some aftermarket digitizers the dust screens are more tightly meshed than what comes with OEM parts, which could be...

This should work for checking ESN, IMEI and MEID: CheckESN Free

You should be able to tell without even opening the iPhone. There is a model # on the back plate: GSM i4 = A1332 CDMA i4 = A1349 i4S = A1387

Won't work. The part may look the same, but it functions very differently.

If the pic on the left is your old screen I hate to break it to you, but you don't have an iPhone 4S. You have a Verizon iPhone 4, which is why the tension hooks are situated differently in the display assembly you purchased. You can take the frame from the old display assembly, and transfer it...

This is the signal extender clip that makes contact with the back of the case to improve signal. This is for the AT&T iPhone 4 only, and it resides next to the battery just under the battery contact, and the screw that holds the battery down also passes through the loop on the clip in question...

You could sell it to a iPhone repair company for parts. That's about it. Always use checkesnfree.com for CDMA phones before buying.

Absolutely wouldn't. The iOS vs android debate doesn't even come into it. It is outrageously expensive to repair Samsung phones. Just the display assembly is often over $200. You drop it once and your carrier unzips their pants.

Hmm, haven't checked out new Safari or iOS6b either for that matter. A better browser + OS integration would be amazing.

After Google's recent release of Chrome, the iOS browser marketplaces is starting to really get competitive. Chrome is nice, but the iPhone version feels a little unpolished. And no option for fullscreen/no auto hide URL search on scroll makes me want to stick with Dolphin. Out of the 3 (or...

For future reference: the iPhone 4 and 4S use the exact same LCD and digitizer, just the plastic frame is different. If you accidentally order the 4 or 4S just heat up the frame with a blow drier and peel it off. Peel the new frame from the new LCD (should be easy, they tend to use weak...

I've tried a few of the larger capacity batteries and they're usually garbage, just go stock and avoid using apps monetized by ads to save battery life.

Challenge me to a game. I've grown tired of destroying randoms. SN is velvetonion. And no cheating...I'll know :p

The glass/digitizer and the LCD panel are fused when the phone is being assembled, so there's no way the dust infiltrated due to regular use etc. I'd take it in to apple, they'll most likely give you a replacement.
