iPhone 3G Repair
So on a different broken iPhone that I have come across (where the LCD is not also broken… only the glass is cracked) we have decided to go with a repair service. While there are a lot of parts sites (welovemacs.com (need a zoom lens?), rapidrepair.com, ifixit.com, among others), the fix operation will probably be best done by people that do it all the time.
I tried calling two places:
www.ipodjuice.com (Milliamp LTD) didn’t answer their phone… I emailed. We’ll see if they return information… Missionrepair.com says, $115.00 for the glass and digitizer repair. Turn around was explained that “they ship it back within 24 hours of receiving it.” Next day shipping from them is $9.00. Not bad!

iPhone Glass Cracked
So today I removed the broken glass from an iPhone 3g that was inadvertently dropped. These little wonder pieces of equipment are quite fragile. See the front panel removal guide at iFixit to see how I did it.
