The question is ! Do you have to buy the lcd and screen together ?? I broke my iPod 4G screen and have been surfing the web for 2 weeks now and watching videos on YouTube for repairing the unit and have found videos doing both, outter screen and also “under, inner” LCD for the iPod 4g just replacing the outer screen, just replacing the lcd, and replacing “both” the under lcd and outer screen ??? Sooooo, my question is: can just the outter screen be replaced on the unit without replacing the “under” lcd ?? Some people love making it easy and spending more money (for lcd/screen as 1 unit), but I love saving money and will go the extra mile , taking the extra time to take apart carefully the screen & lcd and replacing just the “outer” screen , thus saving myself alotta money for parts I dont need . ‘‘‘This is the question ! Can I just replace the outer screen ??‘‘‘Email me at: TrooperJT@juno.com

Derek, I am confused. Jim is asking for an iPod touch 4th gen and you are linking your parts and guides to iPhone 4. should the link not be iPod Touch 4th Generation Front Panel Replacement for the guide and iPod touch (4th Gen) Screen for the part. @ jim check this question Can I assemble my iPod touch 4g digitizer? it should answer yours as well. Of course, if you do a Google search you will find them cheaper. the difference is that ifixit uses quality parts and stands behind their products. Hope this makes sense. Good Luck
