anyone know where i can go to get my front screen replaced..its shattered..it got ran over at work..i dont feel like shelling out a couple hundred for a new one..everything else seems to be working fine just the screen is messed up..thanks in advance

I just saw a sign at radio shack yesterday that said phone screen repairs. I think it was around 60$ . Not sure if anyone else does them or if maybe your insurance covers it.

Go to apple. Might cost you 100 dollars but they will replace your phone. When did you get it? Come up with a good excuse they may give you one free. A buddy of mine got one free by calling and complaining. Do yourself a favor but an otter box

thanks for the response guys..yea the otter box is a no doubter after i get it fixed or a new one..phone got ran over..i got the phone about 5 months ago..i think the insurance will give me a hard time so I was just going to try to replace the screen..everything else has been working fine

There's usually places in the mall that can do it as well, some of those kiosks. A few friends have had them replaced. Good luck, and yeah...definitely case it up next time...you can't expect to hit Lou over the head with it and not have it crack at some point!

Insurance with Verizon is a flat $50 fee to replace for any reason whatsoever. I lost my phone hunting at Clinton and in 3 days had it replaced under the policy with no issues.

Bridgewater Mall I think has one of those screen fix places

I agree with getting the otter box i have droped mine a few times and nothing went wrong with the phone. you ca get them on ebay or amizon for a decent price

The tricky part are the screws on that phone. I think they are pentalobe screws. I have the tools to open most everything electronic including a driver set to open iPhones.

Front screens are really expensive, and the iPhone 5 parts cost a premium. You might do well on eBay getting parts. I usually pay a couple of bucks extra and get them from people I've done business with before.
