Does the front casing also have the plastic glass screen on it as well? Or is that separate?

sorry this is a decade too late HA. i just did a swap for the plastic screen cover and yes, for anyone in the future, the plastic cover is on the front shell piece, you will need some tweezers or something narrow to get the plastic screen popped off, dont crack the front shell, the bottom gets fragile so just be slow and methodical. but its an easy swap, maybe 15 minutes. good time to clear out the lint around the joystick as well.
