I was going to suggest Otterbox also. The ex used to run through phones like water, but now hers looks almost like new after two years in an Otterbox.

How old was it?
I can't keep up, but didn't you just get it?

(Wipes tear from eye)

The glass on top is attached to the digitizer.. there is an lcd below. Does the lCD look broken also? Are the any dead/bad pixels?

My daughter just broke the glass/digitizer on her iTouch. I have received the replacement part and am awaiting the little tools to remove/replace.

If you go this route.. be aware that many posters suggest getting the glass and bezel and home button pre assembled since many people end up breaking the bezel since it's glued to the glass and the home button is notorious for being a PITA to get jut right.

That doesn't look like an iP4.. but if it is.. that's a whole nuther animal.. you need to go thru the back to repair screen and the LCD and glass are ONE part.

Read the reviews.. some glass is nicer than others.. don't just buy the cheapest.


Or get Apple to fix it for ..I think it's $199.00

Local guys will do it cheaper.. and of course unless its done by Apple.. there goes any warranty you may have left.

Seeing those time claims makes me wonder if in fact they give you your actual phone back or swap out the sim card into one that they had fixed before.

There is NO way they could repair a 3Gs in 5 minutes or less! I would love to see that in action.

Hmm...wonder what this means:
"We have a unique system that allows us "

Perhaps their unique system is to give you a refurb one that is fixed and then fix yours later to give to the next person?

I sent them an email asking this.
