    Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

    So I've officially joined the shattered screen club.

    Other than spending $150 at the Apple Store to have them replace my iPhone 4, do I have any other options for getting the glass fixed?

    Thanks :cheers443

      How did you do that Jason? Check Craigs in your area, sometimes there are guys local that will fix for $50-$75.

        Wrigley accidentally bumped it out of my hand. I kid you not, it only dropped 3 inches, but landed perfectly, flat on its face. I heard that "pop" sound and new what happened before I even looked at it.

        Sucks... but I may just wait it out for a while. I'm due for an upgrade, but I don't want to get the 4s and then have them announce the 5 like a week later, lol.

          This is the risk you take naming a pet after anything associated with the Chicago Cubs.

              I downloaded a tweak from the Cydia store this morning called Clockwind. It accelerates your UIKit, that will in return, make your animation transitions, much faster. Was said to be intended for the slower older devices but I have seen an amazing increase in speed on my 4S. Something some of you guys might want to look into as well, and it's free.

                That totally sucks. Did you have a cover on it or even a case? I can't remember if you use those or not.

                    Yah I have a cover, but it's just a shell for the back. I'll always use those too, this doesn't change anything. No way in hell I'll ever use some big bulky thing like an Otterbox.

                      I haven't used an Otterbox before, but they look huge, have been using an Incipio which doesn't add a lot of bulk.

                        I have an otterbox and it isn't bulky. My wife's case on her galaxy 2 is way more bulky then my otterbox. But then again I have had it for about a year now so I might have just gotten use to it I guess LOL.

                          Well, there is a more "slim" version now, but it's still too bulky for me. I will say this though... I've owned the iPhone since they first released, and through accidental drops, had never had a screen break until the iPhone 4. Since getting this phone, I've had the screen crack twice on VERY short falls, and it's happened to my wife twice as well. I don't know if they changed something in the build or what, but they sure as hell seem to be more fragile than prior models.

                            Well it is basically all glass except for the sides.
