Dropped my Nexus 4 and broke the screen :-(

Does anybody know a decent company that can repair the screen? Looks like it'll cost about £100 to fix it

Or the other alternative is to just get a Moto G instead :confused:

I feel for you bro

£45 new screen off ebay full housing, loads of tuts on youtube to replace it if you got the patience.

Perfect opportunity to get a Nexus 5.

I dropped mine and cracked the screen. Bought the full LCD housing off Ebay as someone has said for about £40-£45 and changed it myself.

Easily do'able providing you arent a complete numpty - I just followed the tut's on YouTube, took me about 30 minutes. Hardest part was getting the back off it! Mine lasted a good while but then I dropped it again and cracked it again so decided to bin it and move on haha.

I've decided to try and replace it myself. Bought a replacement screen like you guys recommended. We shall see how it goes!

You should think about getting a case for it, you seem to drop phones often.

The phone had a Nilsken case on it as it happens actually and if truth be told the second time it broke I didn't actually drop it, it slid off my desk due to its glass back.
