Didn't need the housing. The extra tools were worth ordering this though.
TLDR;If you need just the glass, this isn't the item for you. Gets the job done, but I'm not sure about the glare that this might produce in photos vs the OEM glass. Replacement difficulty was moderately easy and 10 minutes of time. Replacement difficulty for the whole housing would be harder.In depth;Seems of decent quality, definitely not as nice as the OEM. Not a 100% replacement seeing as there's a minuscule edge sticking up (maybe .5 mm) after put in place. The original glass had a rainbow effect to it when looked at from reverse, so I'm sure it's a special kind of lens glass. I'm a bit worried this will produce glare in the sun, don't have much choice in the matter right now though.The replacement was on the easy side. Just needed a dull plastic spudger, a hair dryer set to max, and about 10 minutes of my time. Had to remove from the plastic housing it comes in. I already have the tools included but it's always nice to have extra even if they're cheap.The glass is housed in a piece of plastic which is pretty much useless. What you'd have to go through to replace the glass with the housing intact would be ridiculous if you just needed to replace the glass. If it wasn't busted you'd have to drill holes through the old plastic housing to get it out, place the new one in and melt the plastic pillars sticking out of the replacement housing back into the backplate of the phone.My replacement procedure:Remove the backplate of the M9 (tip - heat the top plastic cover for about a minute with a hairdryer to preserve the adhesive underneath)Heat the broken glass with a hair dryer for a few minutes on both sides of the backplate (careful, the backplate will be HOT)Place some packing tape over the glass if it's shattered and start pushing the glass away from the backplateClean up any adhesive left behindTake the protective plastic off the replacement glass and set it face down (plastic side up) on the included clothHold the glass in place with something pointed that won't melt or leave marks on the inside of the glass (The included black spudger will melt a bit)Heat for 45 seconds to a minute with the hair dryer (an actual heat gun would probably melt this thing)Pry the plastic piece away with a blue spudger, it comes off adhesive and all quite easilyPlace new glass in the backplate without putting pressure on itHeat with the hair dryer for about 20-30 seconds and then place light pressure on the glass and you're done
