So guess who's arse made contact with some keys and an iphone screen today, via a pair of jeans  :-[

I now have a lovely black portion of screen.  Touch screen still works and phone is still ok to use, but I suspect, not too good for games.  Have priced up a replacement original for 16.99 or a clone for about £6 and my mate fits them, so all is not lost.  Oh and my arse still seems to work ok  :D

Wondered whether to get him to upgrade battery from 1200mh to 1600 at the same time.  Anyone done this?  it says that its compatible

If you had phone protection, you could have claimed on that...

17 for a new screen seems pretty good - I've seen them go for much more. And at least the phone itself isn't borked.

Good luck with fitting the new screen :)
I came. I saw. I played.

Cheers Ian thx.
And @MrTAToad, you're right....and lesson learned there i think.  You never think you need it until..............

hope your iPhone is older than a year and out of warranty,
if it's still under a year, i'd go see an apple store first,
they may be able to help you out.

Luckily for me...it is over a year old, in fact my upgrade is in july, but i need to fix it really as i was planning on selling it.

in the UK they Apple store charges £79 for a new screen on an iPhone 3G or 3GS.
