Title: Re: Cracked iPad screen Post by: Woodsey on November 30, 2012, 12:13:17 PM Which iPad is it Woodsey and do you need the screen/glass or both replacing? 3. It still works ok but the corner of the glass is cracked. Title: Re: Cracked iPad screen Post by: jezza777 on November 30, 2012, 12:18:57 PM Kerry (my girlfriend) replaced her iphone screen from ebay. Its a pain in the arse and she managed to break the screen whilst doing it. Pay the £80 imho

Title: Re: Cracked iPad screen Post by: Woodsey on November 30, 2012, 05:49:51 PM Pffft, might have to shell out 140 after all to get it done on the spot tomorrow. Could send it away for around 80-90 but I'm away all next week in London and I want to take it with me really.
To nit or not ;carlocitrone; Title: Re: Cracked iPad screen Post by: kinboshi on November 30, 2012, 05:56:09 PM I've bounced my phone (HTC One X) off countless floors, and was impressed with its ability to withstand this abuse without the screen being damaged.
Dropped it from less than two feet last weekend onto a concrete floor covered in carpet tiles. Phone landed face down and the thud noise it made didn't sound good. Sure enough, the glass of the screen is now doing an impression of the mandelbrot set and although the screen still works fine, I'm going to need to replace it before I slice the skin from the ends of my thumb. Asked around, and it looks like £100 to get mine done. Still cheaper than paying for insurance for it as this is the first phone I've had that's needed repairing. Title: Re: Cracked iPad screen Post by: Woodsey on November 30, 2012, 05:58:26 PM To be fair I've dropped this one a fair few times (and my old one) and this is the first break I've had so they are reasonably hardy.

To nit or not ;carlocitrone; I've just pinged my mate again, but if you need it next week I guess you have to just get it done. Title: Re: Cracked iPad screen Post by: smashedagain on December 02, 2012, 08:37:06 AM If its working whats the rush. Take it to London and get it repaired the week after?
Title: Re: Cracked iPad screen Post by: Woodsey on December 02, 2012, 08:39:44 AM If its working whats the rush. Take it to London and get it repaired the week after? Yeah have to do that now unfortunately due to something that came up, but I would have preferred it fixed really. Title: Re: Cracked iPad screen Post by: Woodsey on December 02, 2012, 08:46:24 AM Also bollocks to doing this myself......
