Has anyone tried their hand at replacing a cracked screen/display themselves?
I've looked at the ifixit videos and it's just a lot of screws to remove, but seems doable. The main thing is that for spending $300, I cannot tell on Ebay/Amazon which sellers are actually selling legit display assemblies versus those that are "offbrand" or have some issue where the Truetone setting is no longer available (to name one issue they point out).
It's even hard to tell whether the unit you order will have the Apple logo on the aluminum cover.
Anyway, it's $300 + potential aggravation do it yourself versus $600 have the Apple service "genius" do it.
