    Iphone screen repair

    Hey guys, anyone have or know where to get spare Iphone screens in perth?

    Ebay won't deliver before I fly back to work so looking to ride over somewhere and pick one up tomorrow.

    I've seen advertising for repairs but they are $50+ whereas a screen will be less than $10.

    Thanks

    Front or rear screen mate?

    Front screen has the digitizer which takes an hour or so to change.
    Back one I can do for you in a jiffy if you have the glass already.

    Hey mate

    Yeah as Syd just said I repair iPhones, been doing it full time for over a year and have personally done over 1000 screen replacements for the 3GS and iPhone 4, including a few for PSB members. Happy to help you.

    You've got a couple of options
    --eBay do it yourself kits are the cheapest option
    ---official channels, eg Apple, Call them on 133 622, usually they charge $249 to swap for a refurbished iPhone but they sometimes cover it under warranty
    --independent repair services (eg mine).

    The parts you will get on eBay for $10 are copy parts, more like a hard plastic than a true glass, they also have an aftermarket touch panel. Many shops use these copy parts, I used to as well but have since swapped to significantly better quality (and more expensive) original specification parts which have a much lower fault rate and are more resistant to breakage.

    If you want one of the eBay style copy screens for your iPhone 3GS you can have one, complete with the necessary adhesive.
    If you want an original spec one I'd have to charge you something for it but can do it for cost plus.
    If you want it installed I can do this for PSB rates.

    Call me on 0405577285 and we'll get it fixed.

    I agree with the ebay crap, although very cheap and inviting.....not good.
    Recently bought a clear rear screen for my I4 and one little bump onto the carpet and kkkrrrrrccckkkk not good.

    Hey Xander can you supply different glass for iPhones?
