here in nashville at ijunkez yesterday. just curious what the going rate is in other places.

given what a PITA it is to do this yourself, if the screen costs $25-$30 online i have no problem paying another $40-$50 to have a professional replace it.

the guy was done in 15 minutes.

Takes half an hour tops and is really simple once you've done it a couple times. I charged people $20 plus supplies to do it, but I only do it for family/friends.

I paid $90 to replace a $35 tablet screen. Was definitely worth it

A year ago I'd spend 100 bucks to get my 5 screen replaced. Has to get it replaced 4-5 times in 6 months cause I kept on dropping the motherfricker

damn, iPhones have cheap screens. I changed my own on my old Motorola Razr in 2012 (last screen I had that broke) and it cost me $260 for the screen alone on ebay.

You overpaid. Sorry, but yes you did.

It is very simple. Not a screen, but I replaced the charging dock and microphone on a 4S. Took maybe 30 minutes watching youtube and doing it. You have to take just about everything off to get to that part. A simple screen swap would be even easier.
