| [* icon_note] If your iPhone has a cracked screen, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping over the glass. | |
| [* black] Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's screen until the whole face is covered. | |
| - | [* icon_note] This will keep glass shards contained and provide structural integrity when prying and lifting the screen. |
| [* icon_caution] Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from any glass shaken free during the repair. | |
| [* black] If you can't get the suction cup to stick in the next few steps, fold a strong piece of tape (such as duct tape) into a handle and lift the screen with that instead. | |
