Cracked Screen on Galaxy S7

Honestly, I would go through Samsung. It's going to be $200 or more either way and if you go through Samsung they test your phone to make sure it maintains its water proofing grade. They're going to have to also replace the back glass as well because they have to break it to get to the front screen.

Also, Samsung will allow you to keep your warranty and if they screw up the repair, they're on the hook for the damages.


After that, I'd pay the $135 insurance through Samsung where they'll send you a new phone if you have other damages.


Lastly, get a damn case if you don't have one.

I work at a cell phone repair place.

Samsung's and iPhone's have fused glass/digitizer displays.

You need a special tool to separate the glass from the digi and it has an incredibly low success rate.

So shops have gone the route of replacing the entire assembly, much better outcomes.

I highly doubt you will find anyone who will do just the glass, if you do I 95% guarantee you that the phone will not work correctly.

When we have people coming for Samsung screens we always recommend to go through insurance because replacing the screen is always more expensive. Samsung makes much nicer displays than Apple...See the OLED display on the S8 that came out in March and the Iphone with their lower quality OLED on the Iphone X.
