We repair them! It depends, is the glass cracked, or does it look like the lcd is damaged, or both? You have an LCD and a Glass digitizer. The digitizer (which is basically the front cover glass) is $35. The LCD itself is $40 (these are both 2nd generation quotes....1st gen lcd is $35, and the digitizer is the same as the 2nd) We charge $35 labor to replace, which includes return shipping. So, if its just the glass part, and the lcd is fine, you are looking at about $70. If you are interested in having us fix it, please contact me. You will need to ship it to my store, where I have parts in stock. You can reach me at 828-308-4288.
