I broke my iphone 5 screen awhile ago at first it was just cracked and i could live with it but then it got lines across it and started randomly tapping things. So i got a new iphone awhile ago cause i had a upgrade but i cant stand not having my jailbreak(it came with 6.1.4). So i either want to swap my good iphones screen or buy this ebay one, i just need to know if its any good? Heres the link. ITS NOT JUST THE GLASS http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-Iphon...h-Digitizer-Screen-Assembly-USA-/271249428365

The feedback seems okay but it is just one of those things that may work out or may not.

I have purchased 100's of screens on ebay and yes they are fine the only quality issues I have ever seen never are actually a defect in the screen it's the colors are a little off from original mainly the black ones sometimes have a greyish tint and the most common issue is the glass around the home button has a little rise to it that you can fell when you press it.Some of these screen suppliers are actually using apple lcd and digitizer with aftermarket glass.With this one I would say your safe and I don't know your background with repairs but it's a extremely easy repair.
