I just used this to replace the battery on my 3GS. It was fairly easy, although it took a lot of care and two attempts, since the first time I didn’t connect the camera ribbon correctly (this is the most difficult to connect, be careful not to tear it).
I think the lack of instructions is inexcusable, although I found plenty of guides online.
Some of the tools are pretty useless (I had to use my own screwdrivers and the lifters broke), while others are a great idea (suction cup!!).
Overall, I think this is a great product – for $10 you can’t make go wrong, and it feels absolutely great to do it yourself and save $70!!

My husband’s iPhone 3G battery needed replacing and since he’d done surgery on a Blackberry trackball, felt up to the task of replacing the iPhone battery. We bought a kit with tools and shipment time was quick – ordered Thursday eve, arrived Monday USPS. Tools helped – but screwdriver was too large and he used a tweezer and a tiny screwdriver we had in inventory. There were NO instructions. We did a search online and found several. Like other reviewers, there was no need for the 3M adhesive. Took a half hour to finish the project. Phone works fine.

Excellent battery replacement kit and a great value. All instructions on replacing the iPhone 3G battery can be found on the internet, both step by step text documents and videos on YouTube. I reviewed those prior to attempting the install myself. Also, this battery has the contacts in place, so it simply pops into place very easily. The only issue I had was that the precision phillips head screwdriver was too big to remove the iPhone 3G screws. I had a nice precision screwdriver set though, so that was not an issue. The hardest part was opening the case. I used the suction cup on the screen, and also had to use the case opener tool to pop the display free. After that it was really not difficult, just follow the instructions you find on the internet. There were 2 different videos I found…one has you disconnect the cable to the camera and the other has you remove the camera from the rear shell. I chose to remove the camera from the rear shell instead of disconnecting the cable (it’s just a pressure fit into the hole in the plastic rear shell). Take your time removing the old battery as the tape holding it in place is strong. I used the tools and worked my way around the battery, finally loosening it enough to pull it off. Reassembly was not a problem. Cable 3 is a little tricky, but not that bad. I used reading glasses and a bright desk lamp over my work area to help out. Also, the screws are VERY tiny. Make sure to have a good area to organize them as you remove them. If you drop one on the carpeting it is virtually impossible to find (it happened to me and I had to use a magnet to find it!). After all was done the iPhone 3G worked 100% and the battery was significantly better, lasted longer, etc than the 2 yr old OEM battery.

Good battery. Great value. Lasts about the same as the original when it was new, maybe even a little longer.
Video tutorials from Zeetron’s website are an excellent help.
The plastic pry tools are fairly flimsy and broke as I tried to use them. They weren’t really needed though. I used the suction cup and the guitar pick for the screen removal.
I rated the install as “OK” only because of the skill needed for the install. I found it to be a non issue, but people who are afraid to take electronics apart probably shouldn’t try it.

Parts missing, only received battery, no tools or screen protector. Installation went ok, battery life was worse than original battery it replaced and phone became very hot when used. I put original battery back in phone and have confirmed that replacement battery made phone hotter and last shorter
