Interesting! I would like to know the feedback on this also, because I am definitely interested in purchasing this if it was high quality!

N9 Screen Replacement
 
Front panel is the digitizer... ?
That screen won't work. It's an electric (kinda) panel which plugs into the N9 (same as iPhone).

If I works, inform us. I have a cracked N9 too

I have the same problem - I need to change screen glass. However, I have no idea, how to remove covering glass from the rest of the display.

Can someone, who has already replaced its whole screen, try out with his/her old and cracked screen if removing the glass is possible and how it could be done? Would be good to have some sort of step-by step instructions or even better to have video tutorial...

Silwer look at the video posted by RobertHall

This is not the same. In the video they show replacing the whole screen, not just glass. We would need to go one step further to separate glass from the rest of the screen.

No, he does not. Here it is tried to remove the glass from the rest of the screen, however, it is found to be impossible: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enRoL...ature=youtu.be

Therefore, do not waist your money to buy plain glass from e-bay - it is not possible to replace it...

Re: N9 Screen Replacement
 
So if my screens glass is cracked I have to buy a new LCD with the glass attached to it?

most definitely...I cracked the glass of my N9 a few days ago...I talked to several repair shops and even official Nokia service center over here and they all confirmed it`s always a matter of replacing both display + glass as a whole assembly...though I can`t say it`s impossible to replace only the glass I`m sure you won`t get it as an original part for N9 since they confirmed it`s always shipped WITH display, too...the price in Slovakia is cca 145 EUR...

Re: N9 Screen Replacement
 
I found two sellers on eBay in the US that sell the LCD for $155 USD and claim it is OEM. Does anyone have any experience with them?

Here are the two auctions they look very similar:

Ebay is not always the cheapest option. In Estonia I can get new full screen (along with frame) to N9 for 125 EUR (155 usd) along with installation in official Nokia repair shop. Or without installation it is 115 EUR (142 USD). And it is instantly available...

Re: N9 Screen Replacement
 
Btw, I just now tried to remove the glass from the old screen and had no luck with that...
