How the * did you manage to break it like that? Run it over with a tank?
Anyway, buy the parts from ebay and fix it yourself I think.

Of course they will, why wouldn't they?
But if I were in your shoes, I'd first get an aprox. estimation on how much this will cost you, as you'll have to replace the complete casing... Maybe buying a new phone would be a better idea.

Reparing yourself would be the best solution. It really doesn't require skills. Just follow a guide on how to disassemble or screen replacement for nexus 4.

They are nice to have if you don't have a case yet, keeps the back from getting scratched easily.

The account could be hacked. Be prepared to have your money locked up to the end of dispute process and around 3% fee for caching (PayPal). If you win the dispute of course. Or say them good bye without the ebay protection. This marketplace is too big to catch a lucky chance.

ebay have been being pretty boring place for at least five years. The only chance is to catch a noob who misspelled the lot name and it was missed by search engine. Good hunting. Otherwise be bored and stick to low part of probability curve.
50/50, you either lose your money or get 6 times more who knows, maybe he's just a spoiled boy who got tired of his phone and bough an iphone? good luck.

If it's too good to be true, it probably is.
Even the KIRF'ed Arc sells for something around 150ish (and that's only if you want a dual core 1ghz phone... you know, dual core 433 mhz with a 128 mhz gpu running wm 6.5, haha)

So just got home and found out the wife dropped her phone and broke the gorilla glass. It was in a Seido Active X case.
She took it to a repair center and they said no insurance, buy a new phone.
Haven't several people on here gotten this issue fixed for like $35? Contract not up for like a year, so full price not an option.

Yeah the $35 is not for accidental damage. That is exactly what the insurance is for....sorry. You can find one on Ebay for about $125.

Actually, if the crack is more than an inch they dont have to touch it. I just replaced my glass and i have TEP. Charged me the $100 deductible because it was more than an inch. Trust me i went round and round trying to get it done for free.

Thanks guys. I knew somebody had gotten theirs done w/o TEP.
Wife just called her cousin's husband who works for Sprint and he said they've cracked down on replacing Epic hardware. He is gonna check to see what he can do tomorrow so I'm crossing my fingers.
If nothing else, it's back to the Rumor 2 for her!!

they can give you an idea on cost vs buying a new or used phone. You can mail it to them or if you are in indy you can drop it off.

Yeah I keep saying I need insurance, but between the 2 of us, we've had 9 phones over the last 10 years and this is the first one that has ever been broken (other than warranty issues).

100$ for smart phone only 50$ for non smart phone
tell her to live with it and think about her poor defenseless phone every time she makes a phone call.. Or worse case, buy her a flip phone..
or you could try buying a bad ESN phone off ebay and see about switching the glass.. Maybe you could find a tutorial somewhere.. Either way.. good luck
Samsung does repairs too. Might call them and see how much.

I put my Nexus 4 on a shelf that was about 5ft high, then someone pushed the shelf causing my phone to fall face down on the carpet. I thought the phone would handle the drop, as it had happened to me before, but I looked at it and the front glass, not LCD, was completely shattered. I know this would be a costly replacement, I would just like to find something under $100. What makes it bad is that the phone is only a month old, and I didn't have a case on it, kinda my fault.... But I'd like to ask if anyone else had this problem, and if so what was the solution, how much would it cost to buy a replacement online? and is it easy to replace at home, because I never replaced a screen by myself? If so did you get yours replaced at a shop? and how much was it with the glas and digitizer? Thanks, also do you think the prices for the screens will go down? They seem to be going down, because I could probably wait a month if it makes a big difference.
$115 lg does it for you.

It doesn't sound bad but I just dont want to deal with sending in my phone, plus if its rooted? will it make a difference?

unroot it not difficult if u use one of those toolkits. doubt you can find anything cheaper than that. screens are expensive. max you would save $20 but you run the risk to not succeed by doing it urself(unless u r a pro in such things)

That's about the cheapest you can go. I paid about $250 for mine, and I had to fix it myself. Then again I prefer to do it myself.

Phone is cracked on front and back what're my options here?
send it in to LG for repair... i know when my screen cracked it cost $140 to repair, i'm unsure as to what the cost would be to repair the back as well.
alternatively you can buy the glass itself and replace it yourself but in my case it was cheaper to just have lg fix it.

When this happened to me I just bought another one that had the opposite damage. You could probably get away with a water damaged phone if the digitizer isn't sensitive to a little h2o.
Is that all that's damaged?
Pictures? Did you fall on it or something, I mean, 185 lbs, lol...

get the front and back replaced rough estimate= 150+60=210 $ best of luck
well i took it in to get repaired.. the guy came out half way through the repair and said that they put a new screen in but that it wasn't responsive.. i'm thinking more than just the screen and back broke.. the guy said it was for sure their screen though.. he told me that they'd order a new one and have it done tomorrow.. hope it was actually a faulty screen...

So I just took my phone out of it's case and noticed that the back glass was cracked. I read in one of the threads that apparently a back repair from Google is free? It's kind of hard to believe but does anyone know anything about it? If it's not free, how much would it be to have the back fixed? Thanks.
Its not free. You can find the back piece for about $60 online

Yeah I didn't think so :/ but is there anyway I could buy just the glass and change it? That's only $20. I don't want to pay $60 for a back lol.

There is a lot of post explaining this particular question in detail for simple and short no or at least it's very hard due to things actually being hooked up to the glass
