Front Glass Bezel Replacement for iMac 21.5 Inch A1311 Year 2009 2010 2011

My biggest hesitation when I ordered this screen was that some reviewers mentioned the glass wasn't exactly a perfect fit around the edges of the computer. For the price I thought it was worth a shot. Mine arrives beautifully packed and flawlessly new. Sure enough, mine fit without a single issue on my 2011 iMac. Now my computer looks brand new and you can't tell the glass isn't factory. Perhaps the factory has worked out the issues since those reviews. Either way, based on my experience, I would highly recommend this glass.

Oh my goodness I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. My kids tipped my iMac over on the desk and it landed on a ceramic plate and shattered the screen. It is a mid 2011 so it’s pretty old and I immediately freaked out because I thought replacement glass would be more expensive than the whole unit was worth. (Considering an iPhone screen replacement is easily $100+) But then I searched on YouTube how to replace it and found this listing on amazon. I thought $40 it’s worth a shot. It arrived well packaged in styrofoam, no cracks or chips. The whole installation took less than 5 minutes including removing the old shattered glass which took the majority of the 5 minutes. It was so easy to use my fingernails and a credit card to loosen the old glass, and then the new glass just lines up with metal brackets and snaps into place with magnets. So easy, looks brand new. I highly recommend this product!! I wish I would have gotten a picture of the cracked glass before I took it off but you get the idea.

I bought this glass after reading multiple reviews for this. I have a late 2009 27" IMac and the glass cracked and then cracked some more and then had multiple branch cracks. Uggh! I had planned to have an Apple authorized repair shop fix the glass. They charge $40 labor plus ordered the front replacement glass for $132 from Apple. I waited about 2 and a half weeks. The Apple replacement glass took forever. Eventually I told the shop to cancel my order and refund me for how I pre-paid for the glass. Meanwhile I watched a few YouTube videos about how easy it was to replace the glass. The suction cups are not necessary, I used duct tape to form handles to pull the glass away from the frame. The glass is really only held on by magnets on the top and sides and by a slotted hinge on the bottom. You pull and tilt forward and then once the glass is detached you gently lift it up and out of the bottom hinge slot. When I ordered the new glass through Amazon it got here in 2 days. Perfect condition. Protectively wrapped. I peeled the film off both sides, installed the new glass. Fit like a charm. It does have a very tiny overlap on the right hand side where the glass is not exactly flush against the frame but it's like maybe 2 millimeters. I can live with that. It's not enough to deduct a star from the product. It is crystal clear. I was so pleased, I ordered 16 GB of RAM chips (4) to upgrade the RAM in the IMac also. It's like I have a new computer, except it's about 13 years old. I recommend this product. Skip the suction cups if you can. A utility knife blade will also be handy to gently pry the old glass away from the frame magnets and then you can slowly use a guitar pick or a scotty peeler or credit card to gently work the glass away from the frame along the top and sides, before tilting the glass forward and lifting it upwards from where it fits into a groved / hinged series of slots on the bottom. Overall I was very cautious doing this repair myself and took extra time to get it done. Once I found out how easy it was I would have done it much quicker. I think the whole process takes 5 minutes or less. The prep beforehand and the cleanup afterwards take way more time than the actual repair.

This worked perfectly for replacement on my kid's iMac. If you are concerned with installation, my own daughter was able to watch a short youtube and remove shattered original glass and install this replacement in a matter of 30 minutes. It fit perfectly.

My local shop was about to charge me $250 for "parts & labor" to fix the glass front of my 2009 iMac. I decided to look online and if there was a DIY solution I could try, and found this. I decided to give it a go and I cannot believe how easy this was to install! It looks completely new again and saved me over $200. Coupled with an Amazon Basics wired-keyboard and mouse for $25 and it's like an entirely new/old system for under $100.Packaged arrived slightly dented, but the glass inside was very well protected.

I purchased an iMac from a classified ad-- you know the ads. The ones where the seller lies and says "selling iMac with broken screen, but that's okay, you can get those replaced for 20 dollars". I purchased the iMac thinking that's how cheap the class was. Repair services wanted to charge me over 120 dollars for labor and a new glass.However, I purchased this item and a child can install it. It has magnets around the edges. All I did was take the plastic off on one side, line it up with the iMac screen and SNAP. It stuck immediately! and, even though it wasn't lined up correctly I just used my finger nails to move it off and readjust it and SNAP, it stuck again! It's more like super power magnets than some sticky tape or glue.So, easy and it looks EXACTLY like my other iMac screens.

Súper buenos materiales y construcción, además que me llegó el paquete mucho antes de lo que estipulaban.

Super easy to put on. So glad I looked it up. Saved so much money doing it my self. Fits perfectly. It was packed really well.

Installation très facile

Lo schermo aderisce perfettamente al mio iMac 27” del 2011 ! I bordi sono perfetti e seguono la linea del iMac in maniera precisa (ho dovuto staccarlo e riattaccarlo un paio di volte prima di trovare la perfetta aderenza ai bordi) nessun spazio tra cornice dell’iMac e lo schermo inserito neanche nella zona fotocamera (come alcuni utenti riscontravano)Qualità dello schermo ottima e fedele all’originale anche quando ho riacceso l’iMac!!Ps: ricordatevi di pulire la parte interna dell’ schermo quando staccate la pellicola protettiva interna !!

Screen turned up damaged
