VDASO iPad Air 1st Gen Screen Replacement - 9.7" Digitizer with Home Button + DIY Tools Kit (Black)

Refresh Your iPad Air 1st Gen with a Premium Front Glass Digitizer

If the glass on your iPad Air 1st Gen has taken a beating, VDASO offers a front glass digitizer replacement designed to restore a clean, responsive touch surface. This 9.7-inch digitizer targets the glass layer above the LCD, allowing you to rejuvenate the look and feel of your tablet without swapping the entire display. The kit is compatible with all Wi‑Fi and Cellular variants and supports iPad models A1474, A1475, and A1476.

The replacement focuses on the touch surface to help you keep your screen looking sharp and performing smoothly. Since the LCD is not included, you can reuse your existing panel if it remains in good condition, potentially reducing replacement costs while maintaining a natural viewing experience.

Important notes and installation tips

• This home button is compatible with the iPad Air 1st Gen but does not enable Touch ID; you may reuse your original button if it’s in good condition to preserve any existing functionality.
