    Hi All,
    I've been unbelievably unlucky with the Moto G! I bought one in January and it got stolen in March. I loved the phone so much, I bought another one just last month. Yesterday, I dropped it and the screen cracked/shattered. It's working perfectly apart from the broken glass.
    I contacted Motorola online but all they would say is it's not covered under the warranty and to contact a company called SBE Ireland for repair quote etc.
    Does anyone have any experience with this company or can you recommend another place to get the glass replaced on a Moto G? I'm in Dublin centre. Thanks :)

    I have cracked the outer glass on my moto g and got a replacement glass from alibaba but it came without a double sided tape so haven't tried doing it myself. Does anyone know of a repair shop which who would put this on for me? I'm in Carlow but do be in Dublin regularly

    If you just got glass and not full display assembly then it can be difficult to find someone to do this. Most repair shops are lazy and will just replace the entire display (which obviously costs more for you but is easier for them)
