Hello there,
I’m a handicraft enthusiast and looking for a display unit to take apart. Curiosity.
Has somebody by chance just replaced a defect display unit with a new one and no need for the old one anymore?
Would be awesome!
Cheers Anika

I have a display unit with the glass banged up and shattered. I still have it in a drawer somewhere so if you want it, I could send it to you. I’m not sure if it still works. I’ve banged on the glass with a hammer a few times to see how fast it would break (it was already cracked and replaced, mind ;))

Hey Jerry,
that would be awesome!
Where do you live? I’m in Cologne/Germany. Just to estimate how much the shipping would be 
(how fast does it break?)
I live in the Netherlands. I’ve looked up how much shipping will cost. It’ll be €5,75 if I send it in an envelope as regular mail. Otherwise it’ll be a package which will cost €9,00, or €13,00 if you want track&trace (those links are in Dutch).
The glass took quite a beating with a hammer before it actually shattered, even though there already was a crack in the glass. I think that the glass can take quite some force that’s directed at it at a straight 90 degree angle. I think that when the phone falls on its side it’s most prone to cracking.

The white spot at the top is where I hammered on it:
The back. It’s a bit dusty because there was some adhesive material left from a sticker.
Let me know if you really want it. If you give me a postal address I can send it right away.

That’s a given, but probably wise to mention again.

I’m very interested in what you find studying the hammered display. (Not that I’ll understand much of it )
Maybe you could post some photos?

Funniest thing is that in the thread where I announced my screen was broken and I showed how it was replaced I was all like “oh no one is interested in a broken screen” and look where we are now
