NucleusG4 MasterBlaster Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 9416 Loc: Miami, Fl.	I went thru this with 2 friends. After much research we found that this can be fixed for.. I wanna say it was less than $30.00 I have a great, hard-type case that has protected my original iPhone from 3 drops from about 3 feet up. I now have the 3Gs and have the updated case and holster. You are correct in the fact that it's a slippery lil bugger.

John Rougeux Member # -1 Registered: 11/06/08 Posts: 5348 Loc: Louisville, KY	so they replaced the glass themselves? That's what I'm going to do. The parts cost around $19 on ebay.

EzyriderTX Zomby Woof Registered: 11/10/08 Posts: 353 Loc: Dallas, TX	I replaced my screen on a 2nd gen iPhone and it works like a charm. My son uses it as a Touch with a camera now. I use one of those rubber-like silicon protectors and I've dropped it a couple of times on concrete and nada. Plus the silicon is like super grip material. It is hard to drop it with that stuff surrounding it...looks cool too.
