  • Interesting info about repairs and massive difference in pricing.
    So where can I get it repaired for £30-40?

    Cheers

    Try your local phone unlocking/repair shop, it isn’t a difficult job (once you get the back off) so most phone shops that do repairs should do it.

    If you haven’t done it before (and are referring to an S6) you need a LOT of heat and a really good suction cup to open the back. Be slow as well as the back will crack or snap if you go too fast (though there are original replacements on eBay for £4 if you do break it)
