Screen and digitizer come together as one assembly. You can't replace the digitizer only.
Take a look at this video, it explains how to disassemble the phone and replace the screen:

There is no LCD on Captivate. It's AMOLED screen + digitizer as one assembly.

If you just need the lens to cover the screen here you go. Its not too expensive either. With shipping its under 10 bucks.

And then he will realize that the screen and digitizer is actually 1 piece. 10 bucks in the garbage...
I have a crack in the glass but the touch screen works fine. Is there a way to just replace the glass? And what glass should I use to replace it?
Just under 50 views. Can somebody respond?

I have no idea.
I think as with other nooks the glass is fused to the LCD.

Are your sure? I thought so, but it would be cheaper to just replace the glass.

1. That's the HD+ (not the HD, what I have)
2. Didn't have anything about the glass that I found.

A quick search confirmed the glass and digitizer are a laminated assembly.

Thanks. Eo, if I understand you correctly, the glass and digitizer are together (cannot be taken apart), but are separate from the LCD?

Yeah, that's my understanding. For all practical purposes, one piece.

I saw a couple pop up a few months ago. I will try to look for you
You mean camera lens? This is the whole mid frame and looks like it includes it but double check:

When I was taking it apart according to the ifixit instructions (no idea why, I just like taking things apart), I accidentally ripped the small black ribbon at the top. That is the digitizer ribbon, correct? Also, I think I damaged the orange ribbon attached to the display. I found this item on Amazon. Would this have both the ribbons I need, and if so, how would I go @about replacing the screen? If not, does anybody know of something that would work? Thanks in advance.
