    So i have a Nexus 5 with a broken screen. It survived being dunked in water twice and 30+ drops from height, but the last drop from my kid killed the screen and digitiser. Notification sounds are still audible, so the phone itself is still working.

    Is there a recommendable repair shop somewhere in or around the city where i can have the screen replaced? Preferably one that uses legit parts.

    I saw a recommendation for the guy above the art gallery on Grand Parade.
    I know someone who has used iElectron on Princes street a few times as well.

    You can get a brand new Nexus 5X for 222 over on Bargain Alerts...

    I don't want a new device. My daughter is going to play with it too, so chances are high that it'll break again. So either a repair if it's cheap enough or a used phone from cex or so.

    If the screen itself is broker (i.e. not showing anything at all) it may not be worth the repair given the price linked in the post above
