My wife borrowed my phone to go shopping. Unfortunately she dropped it outside trying to out it in her handbag.
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/21/7a4eqe8a.jpg)
I'm not upset, surprisingly, though sad. She was kinda sweet, she came in looking sad, gave me a hug and then showed me the phone. Followed by "when is the next one coming out?", so now we need to decide do we get the screen replaced (it's usable, but hard to read in places) or do we hold off the three / four months till the 5S comes out, or do both.

Your poor phone Rob :o I bet your wife was devastated when she picked it up off the ground and saw the damage.Good luck with your decision on what to do about the replacement. ;) ;D
-
Ouch!
-
If your wife doesn't have a fancy phone I would get it fixed and buy the new one when it comes out so you both have a fancy phone. :D
-
Sorry about your phone :o looks a bit sick. Good luck with your decision

Ouch, get it fixed, and then buy the new one when it comes out..

Oops. Recently did the same to my mimi IPad. They will replace it for a price. The pain in the butt is backing up everything and downloading it again. Putting stuff where they should be is time consuming.
Didn't ask but sure I know the answer. Does it still work?

Get it fixed, and get a new one when they come out.😊
I have my phone and ipad on our contents insurance, when I broke my screen on my iphone. I only had to pay the excesses.

The screen can be replaced relatively cheaply. We have a local man who does it for $60. I'd fix it and give to your DW then you get the new one when it comes out or vice versa.
-
Your poor wife, she must have felt awful. I'd see what it costs to get fixed before I made any decision.
-
This link was on Facebook. How to fix it yourself?

My husband replaced the screens on a couple of nokia's. Wasnt difficult. He bought the replacements on ebay
Your poor wife!
-
Oh that's not good. Can happen to anyone. Hope you can fix it cheaply.
-
Oh dear. Hope you can fix it cheaply.
-
:o :o Oh...not good. :(
Your poor DW must have felt terrible. :(
Hope it doesn't cost too much to fix and/or replace.

I've dropped my iPhone a few times over the years and despite a few dinks in the casing I've never actually broken the screen. I kind of pit that down to luck and the screen protectors.
I think you jinxed yourself. I bet you didn't "touch wood" when you wrote that?
-
@CreamPuff apparently so, though to be fair it was my wife that dropped it & not me.
She did feel really bad about it, though admitted had I done it she would be been very upset / angry with me :)
(Apologies I don't have names to respond to, Tapatalk just showing me the screen for typing, not the posts)
We looked at the videos about doing the glass replacement ourselves and decided that it was a little too tricky and too easy to mess up; plus we lacked a heat gun. So the missus decided just to go ahead and get it replaced for the princely sum of 229€. Nicely they simply replaced the whole phone rather than swapping out the screen unit.
Phone is not restored yet as my backup is against iOS 7 beta and I can't get the beta yet as Apple's Developer website is down since last Thursday. So for now it's just a basic phone & a couple of essential apps.

Rob get a decent cover for it.. I have dropped mine several times and never broken it.. The cover has saved me from your fate :( wow thats expensive to get it fixed ... Well at least they replaced it !
