I was taking my cell phone from my pocket today and my finger grazed the glass over the lens of the camera. It felt rough and strange. I flipped the camera over and discovered what you see above. For some reason my camera glass got smashed. I have never broken something on any of my cell phones this badly before. And I have no idea how it happened. I dropped my phone the other day while getting out of Allison’s car but it was fine. At least I think it was. I grabbed it quickly and turned it on, I didn’t turn it over. It may have smashed then.
So, not ever experiencing this before I first was incredulous. Then I got to work. I couldn’t have bits of jagged glass ready to stick into my waiting fingers. So, I took some tweezers and peeled off the glass cover. It was pretty easy actually, the whole thing is like a sticker. Once it was off and the glass was all removed I tried to see how it could be fixed. It is surprisingly cheap to replace, actually. I found the part online for $2.37 and free shipping. Saves me from having to shell out any major bucks at the Verizon store.
That’s good to know. My husband and I have Samsung Galaxies. Sorry to hear your phone broke.
Cascia. These things happen, not often to me, but they do.
Wow, that’s really cool that the replacement part was less than $3. Bet you if you’d have taken it in to Verizon, they’d have charged you at least $50 to replace it! Thank goodness for online replacement parts. Especially if you’re out of the date range for a warranty replacement.
