I’ve had my iPhone 3G for about 2 months now and apart from the battery lasting a few hours between charges, I’m very happy with it. Well, I was until I installed a golfing game on it.
In swinging the phone to simulate a golf stroke, the phone slipped out of my grasp and went flying, landing on the hard, slate kitchen tiles. Why did I not purchase a protective jacket when I had the chance!
I went to the Apple store in Regent’s St, London to explain my predicament, but was told the whole phone had to be replaced (over £300) there were no spare parts that could be bought. 
iPhone screen repair DIY
Searching the web, I found numerous fix ideas for broken screens, but they were all quite costly. The expensive part is the glass panel, which is cemented onto the digitizer touch pad.
With a new glass panel from eBay, some intricate tool work and adhesive you can carry out this procedure yourself. All for under 60 quid, which is a pretty reasonable price to mend one’s own stupidity.
