Looking to replace my cracked MBP 13" screen cover myself (the display was not cracked, only the cover). Curious if anyone knows the real story behind Apple's OEM "glass" and can help me find the right replacement?

I'm confused because of there seems to be conflicting info on what the actual OEM part is.

What is the difference, if any, between these three?

This seller claims it is a suitable replacement, but not the OEM part - http://www.amazon.com/Unibody-Macbook-Glass-Screen-Replacement/dp/B0055U90EW

This seller claims it is actually Apple that is misleading, and that it is not actual glass, but plexiglass. I agree somewhat because my OEM cracked screen did not shatter like one would expect glass to. But I'd like a second opinion - http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-OEM-Gen...LCD_Panels&hash=item4ab2bf6328#ht_5447wt_1002

This seller claims they are one of the few selling actual "glass" replacement covers - http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Appl...medium=shoppingengine&utm_campaign=googlebase

Who is selling an Apple OEM part? I'd like to get the right part, but also for the right price, obviously.
