$200 to replace glass is pretty absurd, I bet they'd do that for £20 at the second hand phone shop round the corner from me

- daniel_iversen 3y agoSure, and you'll probably end up with 10-year old Gorilla Glass 2 that'll break within a second, and not Ceramic Shield! :)
- goosedragons 3y agoHonestly it'd probably be better if 3rd party offerings were made of plastic. It's be better than the original. Glass is such a stupid material for a phone. It makes the device you're supposed to hold slippery AND fragile. But we've somehow ended up in this stupid world where phone reviewers have influenced people into thinking they need "premium" feeling devices rather than practical.
- Someone1234 3y agoRegardless of everything else Nokia's Windows Phone era had some of the best phone bodies. Fun bright colors, basically indestructible, screen proteting lip, and didn't block RF at all. If plastic was re-invented today (i.e. it was the hip new thing) everyone would be using it rather than glass and aluminum shells, which feels "premium" between the time you remove it from the box and put it into a phone case (e.g. 10-minutes of ownership).
- joe__f 3y agoYou could source a new part yourself and get it installed there. It will set you back much less than $200
