I have a case, just didnt work. Funny bc i was just telling a friend how ive never once had to use my applecare. Hence why i didnt buy it this time. Well hoping to have this one fixed friday and then buy applecare after its fixed before my 30days to buy it is up.

Damn that sucks. I got a case for mine a couple days after I got the phone. I am notoriously hard on phones.

All i was doing was carrying a box, went to rest it on my leg while i opened a door an i guess there was too much pressure on my pocket. Snap crackle pop.

Was told $229 to fix

place near me replaces the glass for less. iresq is the company. I used them to replace my iPhone 2 glass for 175, took 1 hour. I probably could of done it myself for $50 in parts and watching youtube video's, but 1 hour is hard to compete with.

^^^^ive called 7 ifixit type places...no one is fixing the iphone5 yet

well without applecare it would have been $229. since I was able to still purchase the plan, the phone ended up being $179 plus the $99 applecare. Needless to say I bought a otterbox case to hold me over until lifeproof released theirs. But at least I have a brand new phone now
