    Yeah I've seen a few stalls around in the middle of shopping centres that do them for $99, if you're willing to travel to Penrith, you could try the Penrith Plaza (I haven't been there since I was like 10 though so it might be different) but they might have a few shops there that can change them over.

    I've dropped my iPhone 3GS so many times at work etc, it's case is full of chips and dents etc, and the screen remains unsmashed haha, and my mates have been using theirs and dropped it on carpet and it's cracked so mine must have the epic_firmware_V1337

    I guess the iPhone 4 glass isn't as strong as the hard plastic iPhone 3gs ones. I don't know why they all don't use gorilla glass, or does it?

    They are easy to replace, i replace them daily.
    One thing to remember if buying a replacement front, is the digitiser and LCD are one complete set, they are stuck together unlike the older iPhone.

    Depending on the version of iphone 4 you have you need a special 5 star screw driver, its not torx. That kit from what i see comes with the special tool.

    Heaps of how tos on youtube on how to replace them take ya time on replacing it, will be fine.

    Apple claim the glass is stronger then plastic in most cases, but no matter glass will still smash in some cases, where plastic will just crack with less force directly applied.

    Smart phones need turtle shells front and back. I have a nice leather case the phones slips into, and it stays nice and safe.
