Replacement for Apple Unibody MacBook Pro Glass Screen Cover - 13 Inch

I ordered this for thirty dollars on Amazon when the best I could find locally for a screen replacement was a hundred. Of course, they'd also do the labor, but I figured if I could replace a hard drive, ram, etc, I could probably handle this. There are many videos online that explain how to do it. Let me first say that this product is excellent. It doesn't feel like glass, but neither does the original. More like thin plexiglass. It came with the adhesive already in place and was a simple application once the old screen was off. I have only positive things to say about the replacement screen!But. My experience removing the cracked original screen was far from easy and went down nothing like the videos. I used a very hot hair dryer around the edges. I'm not sure if it just didn't get hot enough (though was too hot to touch!) or what, but attempting to release the edges from the original adhesive resulted in lots of splintered glass. When I was brave enough to use the glass suction (those things are amazing and can be purchased at your local big box hardware store), the screen came off but the edges remained shattered and stuck. It was a total nightmare getting all the tiny pieces off the edge. Required tweezers, box cutter, and a lot of swearing. Probably took an hour and resulted in two minor scratches to the LCD, which are not noticeable when computer is in use. So final verdict: great product, great convenience of doing this at home rather than dropping off for several days, PITA if the original screen does not pop loose easily. Proceed with caution.

When I bought this they sent me the 15inch screen. I contacted the seller and they said it was Amazon that made the screw up so I had to send it back and get refunded and then buy it again. The second time they got it right. The screen was covered in bubble wrap and had extra cushion so it was well protected. The screen did have a few scratches when I pulled it out of the box. I took off the paper that is stuck to it and cleaned it real good and stuck it on. Installation was super easy. Took about two seconds to line up the bottom and stick it on and then heat up the edges to make sure the glue stuck. Overall this works perfectly and is a great deal for the price.

Hands down one of the easiest screen protector to use. I have my beloved MacBook Pro and one day noticed it had several hairline cracks on the screen (GASP) and I asked myself "how did it get there?" Did I drop it on my rug one too many times? Probably so. I was devastated as I thought I would not be able to see clearly when the computer is on. Thankfully although there are quite a few cracks, my baby is still operational. I tried looking at how much it would cost to get the screen replaced and had to put that idea on the back burner as Christmas is around the corner and I did not have the money. I decided the best thing to do was to buy a screen protector until I am able to get the screen fixed. The first one I bought was not horrible but it did leave bubbles no matter how careful I was. When I tried several times to take it off and correct it, the screen protector bent at one corner and would not stick so in frustration I took if off. Bad mistake. when I lifted it off, it made one of the cracks worse. I decided then that I had to buy another one as now its not just a "scratch". I decided on this one based on the description, price and reviews.It arrived quickly and I have to say that on my first try, I was able to place it on my screen perfectly as it is large enough to cover the WHOLE screen as most screen protectors leave the edges unprotected. NO BUBBLES OR SMUDGES. Once I was sure it was anchored to my screen, I was able to take of the protector film over the protector. This protector is thick unlike other and if I didn't know they were there, I would not see the cracks/scratch lines. I love it. I am definitely getting my screen replaced but now I don't feel as if I have to rush.If I purchase another laptop then this will be my choice before anything can happen to the screen.

I love this item. Works and looks just like the original...Apple quoted me $320 to repair just broken glass... Claimed it was a safety issue since the glass was shattered and jetting out. Screen itself was 100% fine (except a small scratch from when I was removing old glass, but not noticeable).However, when installing this item I was not in an anti-static environment and thus there are small pieces of hair between glass and screen. Not enough to bother me much, but something to be aware of.I went with the other reviewers and purchased double sided tape at my local store. Hopefully the screen holds.
