Accessories Replacing Glass

I have a few scratches on my screen and there seems to be no real way to remove them. I am thinking about replacing glass completely but I am a little confused on what to buy. If I replace the glass I also want to replace the frame that goes around it.


basically I want to replace what this guy is holding:
YouTube - HTC Incredible Droid Glass Digitizer Replacement Instructions

I have found the glass part for sale for about $20 but if you want to buy it with the frame it is $80+? Or am I looking at something else?
 
Have you looked at this site yet?

HTC Droid Incredible Take Apart Repair Guide

It explains what comes with each part if you look at the parts section.

Yeah I have looked there and they are selling the touch screen for $55 and the touch screen with the housing for $90. I have seen the touch screen for $20 (on Amazon). Why is the screen with the housing so much more expensive? Is it possible to buy the housing separately?
