I've had a moment with my Iphone and basically broke the screen on it, phone still works, but it's covered in cracks.

anyone done this before? Is this a job i pay apple through my nose for the pleasure or any other reliable services around that can do an equally good replacement job?

Cheers

It all depends if you have handset insurance or not as cracked screens are not usually covered under warranty.
Dont take it into an 02 shop as they send it off to apple anyway. Just find your nearest apple store to you, make an appointment via the concierge system for the genius bar and take it in. They might be able to sort it there and then

That'll be an iphone for you

That would be any phone if you 'had a moment' with it

dpb

Well any phone without a decently strong chassis anyway

if they do try and stick you over a desk and give it to you hard. then have a look on ebay as they have the digitizers on there for these phones. they come with a kit to do it yourself with instructions. but if its the actually screen then they have these as well.

Exactly!!! Might raffle off a go home early pass with the juniors on the desk, winner gets to have my phone fixed before going home!

Yep if you have handset insurance you'll be find. A friend of mine says if covered you'll probably get it swapped out for a 3gs (if its 16gb one you have) as there are no 16gb left, it happened to him and he got a nice new shiny 3gs.

i smashed my 3g iphone on the floor after it messed me about, selotaped the screen up and it worked for a bit until it wouldn't get signal anymore.

What?!

Did it cheat on you with a Blackberry user? Or even worse a Palm Pre user?!

That's the fourth one that I know of that has shattered it's screen.

Dropped HARD onto a loaded desk , what can you expect

well Apples dont like to be dropped!

alloy

Nothing less appealing than a bruised apple hey

NotoriousREV

The strongest chassis in the world won't protect the screen if you drop it screen first onto something

But when they do we suddenly know all about gravity.

The same thing happened to my mates iPhone. The screen has shattered all over.

I think it was an alcohol related injury though
