My iPhone 3G screen glass is cracked. I bought a replacement glass off eBay only to learn that you have to replace the digitizer in tandem (even though my digitizer is fine).

I see there are send-away services in the neighborhood of $50. There are local people on craigslist who do it for about $70. What's the best route for me to take? I don't want to buy more stuff off eBay just to learn that its not going to work, so maybe I should send it away to someone who knows what they're doing - but I don't want to be without my phone for too long.

I have rebuild iPods and even computers from the ground up many times and am comfortable working with the small screws and such, but sometimes its best left to the pros.
