Hey guys,

I've replaced a couple of iphone 5 screens for friends, using best sellers on ebay, but never found one I've felt truly matched the OEM quality - there's been a problem with ears hitting the mute button on both of the screens I've purchased (which I believe has something to do with the proximeter sensor not being great on the replacement.) I prefer to change the screens with all the parts already assembled (camera, speaker etc.) to save on time but as it's my own phone I'm fixing now, I don't mind spending more time if I have to to get the best quality screen....

So, does anybody know where I can buy a new iphone 5 screen, preferably already assembled, that is high quality, matching OEM standards... or not pre-assembled.
