Help - Cracked phone screen replacement
Discussion
Hi, my phone couldn't take the weight of my fat ass and cracked, I need to replace it but it seems a bit of a minefield with conflicting thoughts as to the best way to repair.
Its a Samsung S4, its just the outer screen thats cracked (I can still operate the phone).
Some websites say that both screens need replacing (£120) others will replace the outer screen (£50).
I would obviously prefer the cheaper option, but are there drawbacks? Like loss of sensitivity? more sensitive to sun etc etc?

My wife dropped her phone and cracked the screen of her S3 which we bought from CPW. We went in last weekend and htey were doing a deal where the old phone was PX'd for a new one (£28 due to the screen crack) against £140 for a new handset. The cost to fix the screen was £160. So even by paying for a data transfer to get the old stuff onto the new phone it worked out cheaper. Took them an hour to transfer everything across.

Cheers chaps.
Has anyone had any experience of the cheaper fixes?
A fix at an approved Samsung shop is £160.
A fix at a non approved shop is £40.
To me its screaming out "you get what you pay for!", so I'm reluctant to go down the cheap route, on the other hand, £160
If the cheap place screws it up, get your £40 back and take it to the approved place.Has anyone had any experience of the cheaper fixes?
