I found someone local to me on eBay...he claims he sells both and can show me the difference...

They are 20 quid dearer.....just don't know whether to do it myself or just pay someone to do it ?

Did my own for £25 (iPhone 4S). - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2609620499...ht_2860wt_1323

You have to be slow and careful and make sure you route the various ribbons and connectors fully (as they like to snap if tugged too hard) - but took me about half an hour all-in.

I've done 2 now......
