Our iPhone 5C seems to have been dropped a few too many times (and we had the thickest case we could get), but even a young iPhone can flake out after too much abuse. Anyway, the phone still worked, but the screen didn't.
I took it to our nearest Bell store and he suggested I try Cellicon kiosk in Market Mall, across from the old Apple store location. They seem to mostly sell cases and accessories, but there's a little sign that suggests they also do Cell Phone Repair. The guy wasn't very chatty, didn't try to sell me a case, but after looking over the damage he said it would be about $110 and take about 45 minutes. I was pleased with that estimate. Bell wanted $300 to replace/"upgrade" the phone so this was a deal.
An hour later the phone was ready, the price was $115 with GST, and the phone works great. I was expecting to wait a few days for parts or something, but he had one screen left for the 5C. And it's really nice to have it working again. (I spent a week looking for the original receipt only to find out the 1 year warranty expired a month ago,)
Now, I really need a case something like those giant bubble soccer balls. read more
