So my wife got an iphone about a month ago and the boy got his hands on it and chucked it down the driveway the other week. Cracked the screen pretty good, but still functioned. Of course I was too cheap to buy the insurance plan from Verizon, so it was time for a little DIY. Turns out I made out pretty good. Verizon charges $10/month for insurance and thereÔÇÖs a $169 deductible for things like this.
Parts/Tools cost me $75 and took about 40 minutes to do. (but I was checking everything out so not real quick)
So if anyone ends up in a similar situation, let me know, might be able to help.
Like any good project, make sure there is a full supply of beer readily available.
