So my ipod got smashed as some guy knocked it out of my hands and it landed face down on concrete :/ http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9848222/03022011158.jpg

anyone else have experience getting the screen replaced as its still fully functioning? If so how much did it cost you and where did you go?

Quoted from octochris

just buff it out and nobody will notice a thing

what do you mean by buff it out? (:D)

that much damage from just falling out of your hands?

either you’re 20 ft tall or theres something you’re not telling us!

or apple products have terrible build quality. thats always a possibility

It’s a sign

:O

rofl atty, it broke at the end of january and im just curious as to if anyone here has had the same problem :D

+ jude it was really a freak accident, only thing i can think of is must have been a fault with the screen to crack like that :/

was waiting for that haha..

There are a few options:
1) You can buy a replacement screen and try to repair the ipod yourself. The lowest price I could find was about $30, in dealextreme.com (you will need both the LCD screen and screen digitizer glass). Tutorials on how to change the screen can be found on youtube. I have tried this method but failed miserably and damaged the parts. It was still fun to try :) .
2) You can try bringing it to your local underground iDevice repair service. They charged me $60, however things are seriously overpriced here in Lithuania.
3) You can always try contacting Apple Retail Store, however prices there are much higher: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/#uk

Hope this helps.
