What do I need to buy for a cracked iPhone?

I cracked the front of my iPhone today and I was going to try to buy the parts and fix it myself. So I know I can buy the parts on eBay, but what does "touch screen with digitizer- LCD not included" is that what I need? I have no clue what a digitalizer is… Or LCD T-T

To be safe I would take it back to the carrier or apple store so they can fix it so u won't break it more.

You can do it yourself easily, I completed the repair myself using a really helpful repair program called iScreensFix.com
They guided me in EVERYTHING I needed to know about replacing my screen, including where to get a screen and how to replace it. I was really satisfied with the price and the end result (only cost me a fraction of the price of going to Apple), take a look at their site

There are two things on your iPhone screen. You have the glass, which can crack and behind that is the LCD which is basically the actual screen which reveals the things you see. Genreally its just the glass that breaks, but sometimes your LCD may also be damaged.

I would be really careful if you want to repair it yourself. Trust me, my dad tried to fix mine because it had a crack, we brought a screen and he replaced it, but he must of damaged the LCD because it didn't work right after that.

I would send it off to a company who can proffesionaly fix it for you, so you get it back good as new. I know this company are cheap, I sent mine there, after my dads failings! Lol http://www.phone-hub.co.uk/
