iPhone 4G screen smashed

Can anyone recommend a company in London that can replace the glass screen? Some kids bounced into me and heard a crack, the screen on my phone is smashed into a lot of fragments.

ebay + you tube = best option

Remembered that I have accidental damage insurance on my phone, one of the bits bundled with the bank account. I have to pay first £25, but they will pay the rest so off to the Apple Store to get it properly fixed (£139 apparently)

i've noticed an increasing amount of accessories referring to it as the "iphone 4G"

not sure why given its clearly just "Iphone 4"

I was in an apple store recently to get my iPhone 4 replaced due to a dodgy home button, while I was in the queue a lady came in with an iPhone with a front shattered screen claiming that it was in her pocket and shattered when her dog jumped up at her.

The apple employee explained to her that it should be very difficult to smash the screen like that, unless it suffered significant impact, which they would be able to tell by other means.

She had owned the phone for almost a year and had no apple care, but he apologised to her, happily replaced her phone and gave her a free case!

Might be worth asking

Will give it a go I suppose, the fact that they are replacing them suggests to me that they do know that they are easy to break. Mine didn't take a particularly hard whack and the glass is destroyed, taking with it the LCD screen. The whole thing works fine still.
