***I purchased my kit from zeetron, one of three amazon sellers offering this product since it's soldout.
All you need to repair your cracked glass is shipped with this order as shown in the image. I like the various tools they provide, such as the screwdrivers, suction cup, etc. The video instructions are very clear and helpful, it is totally possible to repair your own glass instead of spending a whole fortune on it. I want to say it is a breeze, although there were moments when I was really afraid I'd wreck something. This task probably feels more comfortable to the handy sort out there.
A couple warnings...
(1) If your glass is anywhere as cracked as mine, it will take some effort to remove it from the frame. Lots of heat application and patience is key. Also, please take care in handling the glass. Although I was lucky, I could easily see someone slip and cut themselves pretty deeply. A tweezer would come in handy.
(2) It is not mentioned in the video, but some parts of your iphone are taped over by a sticky black film. I suppose this is to prevent tampering. You'll have to remove it to fix the glass, but doing so voids your warranty.
(3) Before you snap the lcd back onto the new glass, be super careful about letting any dust trap between the two... otherwise you'll end up with annoying lint like I did.
(4) The screen protector they offer has this mirror finish... which I find a little irritating. I also have a hunch it desensitizes the sensor that detects whether you've got the phone held up to your ear.
(5) It took a couple tries for me to put the phone back together. The first time, my earpiece wasn't working. The second time, my LCD wouldn't turn on. Third time was a charm, I made sure everything was securely plugged in.

Guess what! I cracked my phone again, so I purchased this same kit again. I was a little cocky from fixing it the first time, so I was a little rough on the frame. So a couple more tips...
(1) There's a thin rubber lining the frame that holds the glass. It's extremely fragile and the more you pry to get the glass loose, the more likely you will be ripping off this lining. One of the many functions of the rubber is to act as a buffer to prevent dust from collecting in the phone. I noticed how dusty my phone was getting from the last time I replaced the glass on my phone.
(2) I made the huge mistake of prying and accidentally piercing my LCD while removing it from the glass/frame. Make sure you have all your screws out, and pry between the two metal pieces, not underneath the lcd... otherwise you'll regret it.
(3) A tweezer really helps in getting the tiny tab inserted firmly into the circuit board.

After seeing many screens for sale on Amazon, it is confusing to know which will be as close to OEM Apple as possible. This screen kit is perfect. It comes with everything you need to replace your own glass screen on your iPhone. The process is tedious and challenging, so unless you have a good knowledge of electronics, it might be very hard for you. The seller's shipping is quick, and screen comes with screwdrivers, pry handles, suction cup, new screen cover, and perfectly-cut adhesives.
fast shipping, great product January 8, 2010

As all of the other reviewers suggested, this is not as easy as the video makes it look. Keep in mind the guy in the video is a pro (undoubtedly the Michael Jordan of iphone repair) and fixes these things all day. However i was able to do it in just over an hour and I'm not the most tech savvy person ever (only mildly retarded when it comes to tinkering).
For unknown reasons the kit comes with a ton of tools that are not even used in the video and I'm not sure of their purpose, but extra stuff isn't a bad thing. I like the mirrored screen protector they threw in. And a guitar pick? Sure, why not?
Glad I bought it instead of paying someone to fix it for me (more expensive than the cost of a new iphone 3g).
Great Deal! April 27, 2010

I am thrilled with this product. My wife upgraded to a 3Gs but still had her old phone with a cracked screen. For $15, I figured I couldn't go wrong trying to make it work. The installation went smoothly and everything appears to be working fine two weeks later. The total process took a bit under an hour. The instructional video on youtube is good, although it could use some better, higher resolution close-ups. Pay particular attention to how the wires connect before you remove them during disassembly--putting them back was the only part I found tricky. So now our old, previously broken phone lives on as essentially an iPod touch for my kids.
