I have a friend in Kenya who has smashed his Z3 screen. He asked me to bring it home and find out how much it would cost to repair here. I have been quoted £200 and he has told me to go ahead. However, I feel that may be more than the phone is worth. Views please ?

Way overpriced, you can get it done for half of that, if not less.

For example:

£99 fitted

The part is around £50 from a UK supplier.

Oh, thanks. I got the quote from my local phone repair shop which up to present has been very fair and good value on previous repairs. Perhaps they just didn't want to do it. If it makes a difference it's actually both front and back that is cracked.

New back cover is around £6.
