Nexus 5 cracked screen

[foe84]

I cracked the bottom of my screen. Phone functionality is the same, think may have cracked the glass only.

So far, repairs range from $110-150. Does anyone have any experience with replacements? How well does the phone work afterwards?

Can't decide if fixing is worth it or just bite the bullet and buy a new phone.

IMO it's not worth it to fix. buy a new Nexus 6 or if you can limp along for a few months get the next Nexus later this year.

good luck!

You can get a replacement screen (glass+lcd) for about $40 on Ebay. I did the fix but tore the ribbon of the new screen. It's extremely sensitive, so be careful if you try the repair. They sell full frames with screen and panel, and all you do is swap your parts. That's pretty easy to do, but will cost a little more.

i've decided to look for a good conditioned used one. I see mostly white and 16gb. I have a 32 and the extra gigs are nice. I'm at 21 available (so i've used 11gigs) gb, so would 16gb be fine? More options in 16.
