Thanks to arthritis in my hands I've managed to drop my Nexus 5 face down. Predictably, the screen lens has shattered like crazy paving. :( Is this something I can get fixed? I've seen screen lenses and/or panels and digitisers on the auction site, but a quick search revealed iFixIt saying the screen is not replaceable due to the design and not much else.

Does anyone have any experience on whether I can get this fixed or not please? I'd just flashed Lollipop and absolutely love this phone. I do have a HTC One m7 I can use in the interim but I much prefer my 5. :(

TIA.
 
You can do it, just make sure you get a screen with the frame included (they're a bit more) - this saves messing around with freeing the glass from the frame. It's about £50-60 quid for the screen looking on eBay at the moment - not too hard to do yourself though.
