Dude fixes his iPhone’s broken glass screen by himself - the ghetto broken display fix method

While this isn’t the first shattered glass display that we’ve seen from the iPhone world, it certainly has the funniest outcome. Too bad this guy didn’t get a free replacement from Apple.
Our friend wasn’t having any of Apple’s $300-to-replace-your glass-overlay nonsense. Like a true DIY soldier, he replaced his broken iPhone’s glass screen (with some clear plastic) all by himself. Armed with a razor blade, some 1/32 inch clear plastic, a dremel rotary tool, scissors, permanent marker, and a healthy dose of “anger, spite, and an imagination,” Epic managed to replace the broken glass overlay with a custom-cut clear plastic piece.





Sure it’s ghetto. Sure it looks funny. But it’s a worthwhile interim solution until iPhone parts start to come down in price.

Quick tip: we keep our iPhone’s glass screen facing inward, towards our thigh, when we keep it in our pocket - a dented casing is much easier to deal with than a broken glass display. We’re sure Epic would have done well to follow that advice.
