Cracked screen. What are my options?

Cracked the screen. What are my options? Can I replace myself, or is it a nightmare?
Ballpark cost? Best place to repair it ?

If it's just the glass, it's a pretty cheap and easy fix

If the part is just the glass.

If the part is the whole assembly.

Does this apply to the MotoX 2014?
Wait, how do I know if just the glass broke? Just scrape the broken glass and see if there is an intact layer underneath?

Those links for for Gen1 MotoX. I think I need XT1096. Gen2 Verizon USA.
Can you help me find the links for that?

If the screen responds to touch as usual and is just cracked, then chances are it's just the glass.

Here's the full assembly. And just the glass.

Thanks. I think the phone works, but both layers are cracked. Let me double check.

Is it easy to swap out a new digitizer LCD ?

 

[lunatic59]

Try this one ...

Lunatic,
I watched the video. I prefer not having to swap over the frame. Is this what I want?

 

[lunatic59]

That looks like the right part but you're sitll going to have disassemble the whole phone to replace it.

I ordered the Ebay link I posted. It's got the frame attached, so one less step.
What other supplies will I need ?

 

[lunatic59]

Does it not come with a kit? Usually there are the tools needed to pry the case apart.

 

[GoodEnough]

No tools in the ad.
