I have never been enraged by the shape of screw on the bottom of my notebook case. If you are the kind of user who wants to open up a machine that is not designed to be user serviceable and can easily be broken by opening it up carelessly, you can spring $7 for a pentalobe screwdriver. If you are a service professional who works on Apple products and don't already own one, you suck at your job.
I can assure you it's not an easy fix.
Here is a guide with step by step instructions on how to do it. I have replaced hundreds of iPhone screens and it still takes me about 45 minutes to replace the Verizon iPhone 4 display assembly.
Here is a replacement screen. The seller seems to be pretty reputable.
You will also need this just to open the damn thing up.
Last thing, the 4S screen is closest to the Verizon iPhone 4 screen. One of the mounting brackets is offset so it needs to be cut off. Looking at the back of the new screen it's the very middle bracket.
Hope this helps. Worse comes to worst, you can do a local Craigslist search for iPhone repair. The going rate is about $100 give or take.
Annoying, but:
