Fixing iPhone 5 screen

[Keiichi]

Hey guys just wondering if anyone could recommend or share experience.

Got an iPhone with a broken screen. Digitizer works. Looking at most cost effective way to fix. Any local places. Or good sources for Parts? (I could do it myself)

yolo repairs if you cant fix it yourself.

Its a pretty straight forward change, and many DIY's on youtube. If its just the iPhone 5, I would also suggest changing the battery as they were a known defect that Apple offered after warranty replacements to the battery if there's no damage to the phone.

These guys are also a RS Vendor and i've used them before when my very first 3G iphone had a cracked screen.

Kids + naked phone, so ya I get cracked screens a lot. My wife usually brings my phones for repairs in the same building/complex as JP Cellular. Don't remember the name, but it was a mandarin speaking joint close to the food courts.

From what I recall, there was quite a bit of a difference when I was shopping for a repair quote for my N4. I needed some place to give me a ridiculous quote for insurance purposes and they did not disappoint. Did I mention that they charged me like $15 for sending an email quote?

Just had a friend get their screen fixed by this place. Was the cheapest I could find:

Unlock City

Cost $65 to fix the glass. I think I remember them saying $85 if you needed digitizer replaced as well.
