finally dropped my i-phone

[Faceman]

Front screen is cracked.

It's a 4S, I'm not eligible for upgrade yet. No insurance.

Any recs on where to get this fixed? Seems like there are a lot of options, not all the same quality.

Thanks

Apple store. They'll want to replace it for like $200. But if I'm you, I'd rather do that then pay some kid to replace the glass for $100ish and then take for granted that the phone's inner workings weren't damaged in the fall.

Tons of places replace iPhone screens for under a $100

Thanks guys. I will look into the options. I am wary of the cheap alternatives out there.

I've had employees at the phone stores and at apple recommend using ebay. just make sure that the rating is high.

why are you looking at ebay? is the phone broken? or just a broken screen?

if it's just the glass, no need to buy a whole new phone. the glass can be fixed pretty cheap. under a $100 easily.

i've had every version of the iphone, and broken the screen on every one at least once. i've never dropped it hard enough that the phone won't work though....only way i can see that happening, is if you threw against a brick wall or something.

but just google iphone repair with your zip code if it's just a broken screen....you'll prob get a half dozen places that fix the glass in about a half hour or so.

(don't try it yourself though...i did once, and the glass never fit right/touchscreen didn't function properly. had to end up taking it in anyway to get it fixed)

and f that noise about taking it to the apple store. they charge $200 bucks for something a place close to you can fix with the same materials for less than half that.
