You know how I feel about your company. I don’t hate you, but I don’t love you either. The thing is, the way you’ve treated me a few weeks ago was uncalled for. How do you expect me to ever fall in love with you?

What happened? Well, I dropped my iPod Touch (which I adore by the way – even if I wouldn’t care for the iPhone). It happened one Sunday when I went to church. It was a short drop, basically less than a foot off the floor. The screen cracked.

See, I have photos:

I went to the Apple Store (very conveniently located I must add), and I discussed what happened. DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WAS TOLD? My dear Apple, they said it would cost $199 to get a replacement. $199! You know, like I had it lying around somewhere. I don’t have that type of money.

By sheer luck, I came across photos of Rigel fixing his iPhone by watching a YouTube Video and buying a replacement glass for only $13! This was his results:

So, in great protest of all what your company stands for, I decided to do the same (except the iPod Touch Glass cost $24 – which is $175 less than what it would have cost me).

The kit was delivered to my job. It required a blow dryer and those tools and we got right to work!

Rigel did most of the heavy work since he had experience (however he mentioned that replacing the screen on  the iPod Touch was a lot more difficult than the iPhone).

This is the LCD and screens pulled apart.

This is the finished product.

See Apple, screw you and your attack of my pocketbook! DIY FTW!

I love Amazon. Thanks Rigel!
