S8 front lens

So...wife dicked her phone. Dropped it and cracked the glass top corner and the bottom corner.

Is this actual glass? I bought an 'original S8 replacement lens' it seems more plastic. But I think it goes down with two sided tape not the glue I've seen on videos. Anyone try this or do it? Looking at the videos I'm less adventurous than when I bought it.

Do places actually replace this as opposed to the whole screen and digitizer? Really dont want to spend 300$ to have it fixed right now.

Looking on your experiences....have you done it?
 
this is why i always get a screen protector. never replaced the screen.....always ended up either upgrading or paying my deductible and got a replacement for it.

there is always ifixit.com if you want a diy project. they also have parts and guides to help you out.

Yeah...there was atleast a plastic one on and her sister pulled it off. 'Faceplam'
