So speaking from someone who owns a repair shop… no! Super glue is not a good fix. “Why not? It holds and that's what I want my screen to do. Hold". There are a number of problems with using super glue as a remedy. A few are mentioned in the other answer. There is a risk of getting it over other components. “Yeah… but I know how to use super glue without making a mess!” While that may be true, there's another reason for not using super glue. Hardness. While it doesn't seem like much, that thin layer of adhesive that the manufacturers use provides another purpose other than to stick stuff together. Shock absorption. By using adhesive tape it allows for minute movement between the screen and the frame. Super glue on the other hand, dries extremely hard and won't allow for any movement at all. For the price of a tube of super glue, you can get a roll or two of the correct tape and not have to worry about it. While not all phones use adhesive tape, they still allow some movement. iPhones for instance, don't use adhesive tape but the screen is still somewhat floating in place only held in by clips and two screws at the bottom. Snap in screens still have the ability to flex within the frame. Super glue defeats this purpose. Hopefully this helps someone.
