I just took off the glass, the part underneath is a gold color. Is it ruined?

It is hard to tell, it is supposed to be gold colored but this is a very sensitive part of the phone, this is actually the touch screen sensor. If you followed the instructions caarefully, and most of all went slow and patiently you should have no problems. Mine took about two hours to get the glass off ass I used a heat gun on low held at a distance to melt the glue. Good luck

Yes I did the same thing. You can order a kit where you change all the parts from yours to a new screen. I believe I did not get the glass hot enough because the glass popped off too easy.

I honestly don't know... All I can tell you is that we have had the glass on our kitchen table for over a year, and it has been a perfect replacement for the one we broke by accident. I would try to contact the manufacturer if this is important for you. We have had no issues with ours though- that is all I can tell you... Hope this is helpful.....

It looks like its glass. The only way u can tell the difference is by touching it. It looks really nice. I had it for 6 months now.

I have not had any of the gold peel off yet, but I have only had it for 3 months. Hope that helps.

It's a clear glass with no color what so ever. You can put it in the dish washer. I've been using it for a year, none broke and still shiny as new

did you mean take "OFF" the glass? Yes the glass top unscrews. It is shipped with the glass separate.

You unscrew the 2 screws on the metal cover and remove the cover. the glass then unscrews.

Travis, what price are you looking at? I think I paid over $100 for one. I'd suggest hand washing the glass.

No you need to heat up the old glass with a heat gun or hair dryer and remove the pieces. It comes with the adhesive to replace it

Mine was not broken -- came and looked better than I thought it would. We just have it on display on our bar at home, haven't taken shots out of the glasses, so don't know how well they wash.

Sure, there are sevaral "How to replace" videos on youtube... Check that, this kit is the LCD display, I don't know if yours is damaged. If it's only the glass you should not buy this.

Replacing the glass really does take a heat gun. Being overly cautious, I used a hair dryer on a low setting and this took forever. Patience is the key to separate the glass from the video panel. Obviously, I didn't have patience this day so I ended up breaking the panel as well (thankfully I had insurance). There are video's on YouTube that explain the whole process. Can it be done - YES! Is lots of patience required - YES! If the screen in my replacement phone goes again, I have a little more confidence to do this once more.

I also keep the drip pan wrapped w/foil, just replace...clean the glass w/soap & water. Done in under 5 minutes!

I can not be completely sure, but I asked myself the same questions. I used this to replace my friends screen and it seems to be just as good as before. I think it is a retina display based off my comparison with one. I haven't owned a gold one so I can not answer that question. All in all I think it should be okay but I've always found it safest to go with original colors, though, it might not make a difference. No problem!

Hi Janice, the glass has adhesive tape on the back. It wasn't difficult to change out. I used a hair dryer to get the old glass off. Be Sure to take the old glass off someplace where you can capture all the shards, I'm still finding glass splinters months later. Any ways take your time and good luck! Benjamin

It is clear glass. the element is where the amber comes from in the picture. Not the glass.
