Compatibility
Fits the iPad Air (1st generation) and the iPad 5 (2017). It does not fit the iPad Air 2, which uses a laminated screen, or the 10.2-inch iPad 7, 8 and 9. To confirm, check the model name in Settings > General > About, or read the A-number printed in small text on the back of the case: iPad Air is A1474, A1475 or A1476, and iPad 5 is A1822 or A1823.
Digitiser or LCD: which do you need?
Cracked glass or poor touch with a clear picture means the digitiser has failed. Lines, dark areas or a blank screen mean the LCD is damaged. These models use separate parts, so you can replace just the faulty one.

Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my iPad Air 2?
No. The iPad Air 2 has the glass and LCD bonded together, so it needs a full screen assembly instead.
Will Touch ID work on my iPad 5?
Touch ID on the iPad 5 is paired to the logic board. The pre-fitted button works as a home button, but to keep Touch ID you must move your existing home button onto the new glass. The iPad Air (1st generation) has no Touch ID.
Is the LCD included?
No. This is the digitiser glass with home button. If you see lines or no picture, you also need an LCD.
Do I need adhesive?
Yes. The glass is bonded to the frame, so use fresh adhesive strips and a little heat when fitting.
