iPhone Glass Replacement: Save Up to 60% Compared to a Full Screen Replacement
Cracked glass on your iPhone? Don't rush to throw it away or pay exorbitant amounts for a full screen replacement! Replacing just the glass is a specialized technique that can save you up to 60% compared to buying a new screen. At onoff.gr, we understand how important your iPhone is for your daily life, and how expensive repairs can be. That's why we offer an affordable solution that maintains the original quality of your device without breaking the bank. With our experience and specialized equipment, we handle the glass replacement with precision and care, ensuring your iPhone returns to you in pristine condition.
Why Is Glass Replacement the Most Affordable Solution?
When your iPhone glass breaks, it doesn't necessarily mean you need a full screen replacement. If the display still works normally — meaning you can see clearly, the touch responds correctly, and there are no black lines or blotches — then you only need to replace the outer glass. This process is significantly more affordable than a full screen replacement.

The Specialized Glass Replacement Process
Replacing just the glass isn't something that can be done with basic tools. At onoff.gr, we have specialized equipment and years of experience that allow us to perform this complex process safely and with precision.
Glass Separation Machine
We use advanced machines that separate the broken glass from the OLED/LCD screen without causing any damage.
Controlled Heat
The process requires precise temperature control to prevent damage to the digitizer or other sensitive components.
OCA Laminate Bonding
We apply new OCA (Optically Clear Adhesive) for a perfect bond with the new glass.
Pressure Autoclave
We use an autoclave to remove air bubbles and ensure a perfect bond.
When Is Glass-Only Replacement Worth It?
Glass-only replacement is the ideal solution when certain conditions are met. First, the display must be functioning flawlessly — it should respond to touch, show a clear image with no dead spots or color distortion. The damage should be limited to the outer glass layer, without affecting the digitizer or the LCD/OLED panel.
Ideal cases for glass-only repair:
- Cracked or shattered outer glass
- Fully functional display and touch
- No color or brightness distortion
- No black lines or blotches
- Normal Face ID response (on compatible models)
The Financial Benefits of Making the Right Choice
Beyond the immediate cost savings, glass-only replacement offers other significant advantages. Your iPhone's original OLED or LCD panel is preserved, ensuring the same image and color quality you had from the start. Additionally, there's no risk of losing features like True Tone or encountering compatibility issues that can arise with aftermarket screens.
This process significantly extends your iPhone's lifespan, making it a sustainable choice that also helps protect the environment. Instead of discarding a perfectly functional display because of cracked glass, you keep it and pair it with new protective glass.

Beware of “Cheap” Solutions
The market is flooded with “repair kits” and there are shops offering glass replacement services at extremely low prices. The reality is that proper glass replacement requires specialized equipment costing thousands of euros and technical knowledge acquired through years of practice.
If someone offers “glass replacement” for under 50 euros, they're probably not doing an actual glass-only repair but rather replacing the entire screen with a low-quality aftermarket alternative. The result can be issues with touch sensitivity, image quality, or even damage to other phone components.
