Any recommendations on where to send my iphone 3Gs to replace the glass? LCD is fine.

Thanks!

Are you willing to replace it yourself? There are a number of businesses that'll sell you the glass and (IIRC) the tool(s) necessary to remove the old and put on the new.

I'd consider it for a big savings.

Dog stepped on the ex's phone and cracked the glass. Apple replaced hers for free. It was kind of a crappy refurb though. The mute button disengaged itself rather quickly.

From what I hear, this isn't too hard to do on one's own. OP, I assume your AppleCare lapsed?
