Dropped my 4S multiple times and my luck ran out at work the other day the front is now fucked.

Going to order a new front and back in a non standard colour, i also need to repair the lock/power button after watchig youtube videos on how to do it.

A little wary of doing the screen itself though as i'm stuck with the phone until October.

once u change the screen , the iphone shop will know as soon as they see the fone if you take it in for other things and will void any warranty on it, happened to a fella at work. we couldn't tell the difference but they could a mile off .

Fairly easy, small screws so bit fiddly but take time watch a video first time.

Must do a few 4 or 4S a month over last two years.

I did one on a 4th Gen iPod touch a while ago, I broke the digitizer cable on the new screen, twice Never again. Took it into town and got it repaired for £15 more than a screen cost me.
