back in August...found an OEM part WITH the req'd tools on eBay for like $16.
Found video on youtube...watched it first so that there were no 'surprises'
I did it in about an hour...no probs.
the hardest part was finding THIN double sided tape, which I'm sure it's necessity is on a per phone basis...(hint: the radio shack doods use it in the back to fix phones....go give a little winky winky and a quick cup-check, and they'll hook you up)
Oh...and finding an hour of undisturbed / coherent time was tricky too.
AND...i've gotta do it again, since I cracked it again not even a week later. Not in a rush this time, as it's a much smaller web of cracks, and hasn't hindered the touchscreen at all

use a sheet of anodized aluminum instead of glass and you won't have any breakage issues in the future.

at least in the mall kiosks, they don't have non-iphone screens on-hand most of the time.
this is what lead me to fix my own.
