Replacing the glass is a doddle. If its the digitizer, then a bit more complicated but do-able

I had to replace the digitizer on my old BB Storm 2, £35 for a kit.

you just need:

Hairline crack in a Note 2. Gonna be a repair rather than replace phone init?

What happens if it's not a repair. Do they give a nasty beat up second hand replacement?

Where all my moneys went.

Golf MK3 1.6. Golf MK3 8v GTI.

Mines got a crack in the screen now no idea how. Possibly friends or possibly slightly bent due to the size. Galaxy Note 2.

I'm hoping it will be replaced as the case I bought for it has scratched it to bits.

Bent due to size?  :huh: :rolleyes:

I don't bother with a case. What's the point in getting a phone and hiding it in a case? Insurance is there for when things go wrong.

I bet your one of those rude and annoying types that get their phone out and put it on the table whenever they sit down in the pub.

Actually no, I'm the one that keeps it in my pockets unless there is a soft surface to put it on. Don't want to run the risk of precious alcohol getting on it. :grin:

"Hey...you do know it comes with a ring and vibrate feature?"  :whistle:

It bad enough at work. But out down the pub/restaurant. Lets not have a conversation, lets all stare at our phones...waiting...... for the little red light to flash....OHHHH!!! the rush.

County's gone to the dogs.

in the cafe today at lunch, 3 people waiting who had put in some orders for hot food ( so a few minutes wait ) all 3 had their phones out and heads down.

I just grabbed a copy of the sun and checked out some nice tits .

But your right Elvi, the pub is the worse for it.... i will admit if i get to the pub early and im a billy no mates i do pull the phone out, looks like im doing something interesting then  :laugh:
