To be effing angry?

This may seem really petty but I'm so annoyed. Just went to get my daughter a drink, put my phone on the side, opened cupboard and OH hadn't put a cup in properly, fell out and smashed my phone. I'm so angry! My thugs always seem to get broken by other people's carelessness and quite frankly I don't have £130 to get it repaired. I guess I just need a rant right now Angry

Loads of repairs can be done at non-apple phone shops or even market stalls. Just be aware though that whilst you can repair the iPhones 4 and 5's, the 6's are a little more difficult. We ended up paying a fortune when my son's screen popped out and he opened the back to put it back in...also his warranty was voided! The phone was 2 weeks old.

If it helps, I had my iPhone 5S screen replaced by a local place for £50...twice, in the space of a week. Blush I have a Gorilla Glass screen protector now...

I actually had insurance through three, but they wanted me to pay £100 excess!

Thanks! I'm going to get it repaired at the end of the month so I think by time I order a new sim it'll be repaired anyway.. and there's really no point in me buying a new phone. I think a trip to apple with a sob story is my first option. They replaced an iPhone 4s for me for £100 (they were still over £300 at the time) for a brand new one when I managed to chuck water into the charging port, I'm hoping they take pity on me again haha
