iPod Touch 4th Generation – Smashed Touchscreen

A customer brought their son's Apple iPod Touch 4th Generation in for repair today.  It has been dropped from about waist height onto a stone floor.  The iPod landed face down and smashed the glass touchscreen.

We always keep replacement screens for the latest generation iPod's and iPhones in stock.  So within 2 hours it had a new touchscreen / LCD assembly fitted and looked as good as new.  See below.  The Customer was charged just £50, thats not bad as a replacement would have cost him closer to £200 from Apple.
