What differs between the brands
Curved edges break differently
For years, Samsung has used glass on its Ultra models that slopes away at the sides. A drop onto the edge does not hit a flat surface there but a curve, so the cracks run further into the picture than on a flat screen.
Foldables have two glass surfaces
The Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold have an outer glass and, inside, a flexible layer that is not normal glass. The inner layer is sensitive to pressure and fingernails and is handled differently from a classic glass panel. Tell us which of the two surfaces is affected.
The back is a separate part almost everywhere
Whether Samsung, Google, Xiaomi or Huawei, the back glass is glued on and can be replaced on its own. On none of these brands does a break at the back mean the screen has to go too.
Camera lens glass is the smallest repair
On the Pixel and on Xiaomi models with a large camera block, the glass over the lenses is often the first thing to break. It can usually be replaced without removing the cameras themselves, which is much cheaper than it looks.
What people bring in
The most common misconception about broken glass is that it always means the screen. On most phones that land on our bench, the front is fine and the back glass is cracked, and that is a separate, smaller repair.
At the front, the same applies to practically all current Android phones as to the iPhone: the glass and panel are bonded, and a glass-only replacement is not a lasting solution. There, a screen replacement is the repair that holds.
With tablets, it is often the other way round. Especially on the cheaper models, the glass and panel are separate, and then we really do replace just the glass. That is one of the few cases where glass damage really stays cheap.

Questions and answers: Phone Glass Repair
The back of my phone is broken. Do I need a new screen now?
No. The back is a separate part and has nothing to do with the screen. It is replaced on its own and costs correspondingly less than a screen replacement. This is the most common misunderstanding people come to us with.
Can you replace just the front glass if the picture still works?
On almost all current devices, no. At the front, the glass, the touch layer and the screen are bonded into one unit, which is why the repair is called a screen replacement. On some older devices and many iPads the layers are separate, and there we really do replace only the glass, which is much cheaper.
How much does a glass repair cost?
That depends on which of the three glass surfaces is affected: the front, the back or the glass over the camera. Camera lens glass is the smallest repair, the back is somewhere in between, and at the front it's a screen replacement. We look at your device for free and give you a quote. Then you can decide in your own time whether you want us to repair it.
My photos have suddenly gone hazy. Could the glass be the cause?
Very likely, yes. There is a separate glass surface over the lenses, and fine cracks in it are hard to see. When shooting against the light, the light refracts in the cracks and the picture turns hazy or gets a veil. In most cases this glass can be replaced without removing the camera itself.
Is a broken back a problem if everything else works?
You can keep using the device, but it rarely stays that way. Splinters come loose and can cut you, and moisture gets through the gap to the charging coil underneath. If you wait a long time, you often end up with two repairs instead of one.
Will wireless charging still work after the back glass is replaced?
Yes. The wireless charging coil and, on newer iPhones, the MagSafe ring sit underneath the glass and stay in the device. We test both after the installation, before the device leaves our hands.
