What if its cracked but the Screen Still Works:

This is probably the most likely scenario. Drop an unprotected iPhone enough times and this is the fate that awaits you. The situation could be worse – you can still use your phone; you’re still connected to the world and you can still update your Facebook status – why not take the opportunity to tell your friends about the whole cracked screen predicament and soak up a bit of sympathy while you plot your next move? The chances are the visibility on your screen is reduced at this point, so be extra vigilant about the chance of embarrassing AutoCorrect fails along the lines of “FML my sister’s on crack”.

You have a few options if your screen’s cracked but your phone is still usable:

• Ignore the situation until it gets worse.
• Shore up the screen with one of those adhesive protectors and hold out for your next upgrade.
• Get the phone repaired by a professional.
