3GS... that didn't last long.

Well, it took only just shy of a month for me to do what I knew I'd do... drop my iPhone. I now have a slightly broader than hair width crack through the screen. Whilst it's not too bad, it's damn annoying, and it only happened five minutes ago

It manages to catch the light and so is noticeable at all angles.

So my question is - is it silly of me to think I'd be able to get new glass fitted for a reasonable price? And has anybody any idea how much would we be talking?

I should have followed Feek's advice and ordered the caddy

£139 for new screen I believe.

If it's only the front glass you can buy it for £40 or so and try to fit it yourself. Not sure how hard it is to do though.

This is why mines staying in a case

In the box to be honest.

From a cursory google, I cannot find anyone doing the 3GS glass, only the 3G. Whilst the hardware (frame etc) is the same, the replacement glass will not have the Oleophobic treatment applied.

Ah, my mistake, didn't realise that.

Thanks for the posts guys - I can't decide whether it's scratches or cracks. All I know is that it's crap to look at

Would it be as simple as walking into an Apple store and asking them to repair it?
