You can buy replacement screens from ebay. Taking apart an iPhone is a pretty simple job and replacing the screen (or battery/camera/speaker/logic board for that matter) is also not too hard... | |

Not only would u lose £170 but I doubt you'd be able to find somewhere that still has them in stock! I've always taken insurance out on phones, I'm a clumsy fucker and u just never know what'll happen! | |

Any decent cases for the iphone that would protect it from drops and the likes? | |

I think that they are very solid, but they are quite heavy and I think that any drop will go straight through the aluminium case and be transmitted straight to the glass front on the screen. That is unless it lands on the small plastic part at the bottom as that will absorb a lot more of the impact than the aluminium part... | |

I don't think they are as well designed as Nokias when it comes to impact resistance, which is rediculous as it's something the designers should have looked into. They look nice, but a drop will fuck them totally... | |

Yah! When I bought it last week my mate looked at me and said "Why on earth would you need that?" | |
