What about a claim on home contents insurance if he's not confident in doing Browntoa's suggestion?

Just searching for help and found this thread so was wondering Barbel if you went ahead and followed the advice given as I have just smashed the screen on mine and I am wondering what to do - do I take it into an Apple Store and claim on house insurance or try the above as well but I am not very good at D.I.Y.! or should I just as well count my loss and just buy a new one!
