iPod Touch 5th Generation Screen Frame

[lancebtaylor]

While opening an iPod Touch 5th Generation, I broke a piece of the plastic frame that goes around the screen (see picture) and it is preventing me from putting it back together. Is there any way to fix this without ordering a whole new piece? If I do have to order a new one, where can I get it from?

If the plastic is broken, I've use special plastic glue that works great for even small parts, any hardware store will have some.

If you can't glue it, check ebay.

Will super glue work?

It should but I suggest the plastic glue, it bonds firmer (the part won't flex and crack again). I can't really see exactly how things broke from the picture though, is it a loose part that needs to be put back or a cracked frame that is jutting out? You can tell best if gluing will work or if you need to replace it.
