Hey folks,

My wife dropped her new Galaxy Ace and the screen is now cracked.

Have got a quote from a retail store which will cost $170 to fix.

Anyone know any cheaper places to fix cracked screens?

I know someone that got an older iphone screen replaced and that was something like $120-$130 - so the price you are quoting doesnt sound over the top.

You can DIY but it looks a little tricky.

I think there are some how tos on youtube - see if that scares you off or makes you keen to give it a go...

Just did a google and found this outfit (in Auckland):

Looks like that would be $75 for the display and $29 for fitting.
So... $104 + GST?

Dont know much about them - but maybe worth a look..
