So my daughter dropped her iPhone, and the screen cracked. I know I could take it to Apple, but are any of the other iPhone repair places worth a damn?
There's a bunch of them that come up with a Google search...

I just cracked mine last night. Went to the Apple store today, and they wanted $110 to fix it. Said I could pay it, or talk about upgrading.
I laughed in the genius' face, the new ones get announced in three weeks.
Went to a shady "computer" store in town, paid a guy $35 to replace the glass. Took him 20 minutes.
Check Craigslist.

3rd party ability to fix cracked / scuffed / scraped iphone glass is being cracked-down upon by Apple...
... I went to a local 'Apple Authorized' dealer / repair shop last week to have my Mac fixed. As I walked in the store I saw they had a wrapped vehicle out front (as a billboard) and on the back in massive letters was 'we fix cracked iphones'...
... so I asked about it and the guy went on to tell me that they have to remove the advertising on their vehicle ASAP as Apple told them they're not allowed to 'fix' iPhones anymore and that they're only accepting 'replacement phone orders' (min $200) from this point on...
...3 weeks ago - the cost to fix the scrape on my phone: $25...
Fuck you, Apple.

Has anybody tried one of the repair kits they sell online?
- yeah, from ebay, just the glass and digitizer. cost 7 bucks but was a pain in the ass. 35 bucks gets the whole assembly, much easier.johnny_wobble
- ...easier. was on a 3Gs by the way.johnny_wobble
