    Costs a bunch to do it at their store. Look for other options around town. If you work near downtown there is a place I went to just this week to repair my iPad 2. It was cheaper than other options I found.

    There is a place near Fry and Morton of a guy who does screen repairs and other types of iPhone/iPad fixes. I can't think of the name of the place, but it's inside a shipping and box-selling and phone-selling place on the north east corner. Google-map it. :cool:

    If you're on the west side of town there's a place on Eldridge / Briar forest called full bars cell phone repair. They replaced a screen on my mom's 3G for about $70. The guy that runs the place is very nice, and he's usually pretty quick with the repairs as well.

    If Apple doesn't cover it through warranty (making the trip to the Genius Bar make sense), you can go to a chain of phone repair places called Cell Phone Repair (CPR). I took my android phone there (Shenandoah location) once to be repaired for water damage and the phone came back as good as new. They should be able to quote you a replacement cost over the phone.

    Are you under warranty? If not....you can buy a screen on Ebay and do it yourself. Screen will cost $35-$45....comes with tools. I have done it twice. Instruction are on ifixit.com

    Kidding aside, I do iPhone screen replacements as well. $40 for the work and then whatever the cost of the part is. If interested, let me know and I can give references or contact me through the board.

    Better to ask a bunch of internet schmucks. More reliable answers.
