About 2 weeks ago, Brittany and I were getting some takeout at a local Chinese restaurant and I dropped my iPhone when I was taking it out of my pocket.  It happened to land face down on a metal leg of a table and shattered near the home button.  Having owned it for only about 3 weeks, I was pretty upset.  So after trying to figure out what to do about it, I ended up buying a replacement glass display and digitizer to fix it myself.

I didn’t really find a definitive source online to learn about what was covered under warranty, how much the fix will cost, and how to fix it etc. Sooo, I figured I would throw a page up online to help out the other poor schmoes who bust their iPhone 3G.  It’s not quite finished but has some good info on it nonetheless.  I taped my repair and have the video pretty much edited, I just need to add narration.  I am also going to create a written repair guide on replacing the glass + digitizer as well. You can check out my page about fixing a an iPhone 3G with a cracked glass display here: 3gcrackedglass.com

Below is my sad phone before the fix:
