My Apple iPhone glass cover was broken how do i replace or change glass cover on iPhone 5?
 
There's two special star shaped screws at the bottom of the phone next to the cable port. Unscrew them and carefully pull apart the screen assembly from the phone. Unplug the screen, plug in new screen, screw it back together. If you have been using the phone for a long time it's a good opportunity to replace the battery as well, since you will have it apart.

Replacing just the glass and trying to keep the digitizer/screen is an absolute pain in the ass and I do not recommend anyone do it that doesn't have the dedicated machine for it.

Ty for information icewind. I ordered that screen.

Been using my 5s for 2.5 years with no case and last week i finally dropped it at the wrong angle. I didnt think there was a chance at fixing it after seeing those glass replacement videos. Why would someone do that if they can just do this for a few bucks more??
 
$129 through Apple. As long as the housing isnt fucked up should be no problem.
