Considering getting it fixed properly means getting an out of warranty replacement from Apple ($599) I'd say it's worth $400-$450. You could get a cheapo rear glass repair from a 3rd party but water resistance is gone and if you watch the process it's pretty brutal..

Oh damn. Sorry man that sucks. Happens to the best of us though.
 
I’m willing to buy if you’re selling. Actually looking to upgrade from my 6s.
 
You could either have the whole housing replaced by Apple for about $600 or just the glass from a third party place for much cheaper. Apple doesn't replace the glass only because it's a messy process.
 
It's hard to notice the cracks with a case on it. You might just want to not worry about it. There's probably some sort of epoxy you could put on it to keep it from getting worse.
 
Sold it for $650 on Facebook Marketplace

just wanted to let people know it IS possible

I think $650 is a pretty good price for the buyer, considering the cost to get the back replaced from Apple vs the price of getting a new one, the buyer got it cheaper. Although it’s a whole different story if the front is damaged cause of TrueTone and FaceID
