How much will apple charge me to fix my iPhone 3GS back?

Q. The back of my iPhone 3GS has cracks near the headphone jack and the part where you charge it and it's really bothering me! How much would it cost to fix it?

A. Apple typically doesn't do cosmetic repairs on iPhones. They typically encourage you to buy the iPhone 4, or will sell you a refurbished 3GS at a reduced rate. Their repair costs tend to be astronomical, unless you have phone insurance.

For roughly $110, you can send out your iPhone to a third-party company that will do the labor for you. Granted, you will be without a phone for some time, which is typically not a preferable situation. (Link below)

You might also check how long you have been in-contract with AT&T. If you've had it for more than 2 years, you can certainly get a brand-new iPhone 3GS for $99 when you renew contract. This is CERTAINLY a more cost effective option than getting it repaired, unless your contract isn't up yet.

All in all, try not to let the cracks "bug you" into a bad financial decision. Do what's best for you in the long run.

A. It's likely that the firmware will have been upgraded. It appears that war has been declared on jailbreaking and unlocking.
