iPhone repair question

northhillsbride · March 2013

Ugh - so I have an iPhone 4 that met its demise when it fell out of my hands last night. Crying The face is shattered.

I called that CPR store and they charge $99 to replace the face (with a 6-mo warranty). Now, I do have the insurance (thru Best Buy, where I bought the phone). I need to call them to find out the cost of replacement, though. (I know DH's insurance thru Verizon was $150 to replace.)

In the meantime, DH checked online and found out he can buy a replacement face (with tool kit to DIY) for $40 or $45.

So, my question is - have you shattered the face of your phone and what did you do? Has anyone tried the DIY route? Is it easy/hard?

If you are tech savy, the DIY is doable! Having said this I will also state the connections you need to do are small, so it's frustrating(dh did this once for a friend and it took him awhile to do)!! There are several places locally though that say they r
