Default Smashed iPhone 5

Did a favour and moved a big glass topped coffee table. The grinding noise that mystified me was my phone being smashed in my pocket. Not insured except under contents (which is a big faff). Any suggestions on a good repair option? Killed my 4s in July thanks to water damage!

What he said and don't get it repaired anywhere else other than apple or they won't warrant your warranty on it, they stung me, I changed my screen not realising for another genuine item without thinking about the warranty an was not aware apple done an exchange service , then my speaker played up months later so took it to the shop and they knew it had been apart even though everything was placed back as it was, I'm rather pedantic like that and I mean everything, they plugged it in and done something and told me they would not cover it as the screen had been repaired at some point they said and my phone is now no longer covered for anything

That's a bit fragile isn't it, especially as it was somewhat protected by your pocket? Must sting a bit that.
