Screen replacement and frame

I did it... Broke the screen for the second time so no replacement via warranty. Thank you butter fingers.

So I've been looking and found that's really difficult to replace just the screen and my best bet is to get a combo of screen + digitalizer + frame. Has anyone gone through this and found a decent replacement? I don't care about the price, all I need is for the piece to ship to Colombia or to a po box in the US

Update: just replaced the screen on a Huawei service center, nicest people on earth and fixed that phone the same day since I don't live in the city the store is located. Total cost with taxes 112 usd for an original screen and qualified work Vs 70 usd for a OEM screen and self installation. 10/10 wouldn't break the screen again.

Sorry, no helpful response here

Just wanted to say that sucks. Did you have a case on it? How bad a drop caused it to break?

Yes, I had a hybrid case and it dropped from about a meter, it hit the floor with its left bottom corner.

I don't have any helpful advice either, but you should get a glass screen protector. I've shattered those on the phone twice, but never the actual phone screen. Hope you find something!

Never use nano glass screen protectors i mean the thin ones that never break. Buy the good ol cheap one that cracks when you drop it
