I cracked my glass. I've read through the other posts and if I can summarize what I've learned here:
1) The S4 Active screen is a bit different. For whatever reason, the digitizer and the glass are one in the same. This makes a glass-only repair difficult.
2) The glue that is used to seal the screen to the phone is a good bit different.
This all equates to very expensive repair options. I just purchased a glass+digitizer unit from a Chinese company. This is what I bought:

It'll be here in 2 weeks. My bigger worry (now) is that I need to find some repair guides. Does anyone have any tips or advice on replacing the glass+lcd screen on a Galaxy S4 Active? I have the small screwdrivers and platic nudge tools and some guitar picks. Do I need special glue?
Thanks for any advice.
