my glass on my iPhone 5 is coming off and I've had it since launch. It hasn't been like this since maybe a month or two ago, I didn't think that much of it till it began coming up a bunch. Am I better off just replacing the screen myself or gluing it or taking it to apple although more than likely it'll be $199 for a replacement seeing as it is out of warranty?

A little super glue and you'll be good to go..... or duct tape.
 
Go to Apple, the screen should not be coming away on the phone its a defect.
 
Had same issue. I went ahead and made a duct tape case. Works great:

Same here.
Took it in to my carrier about 3 weeks ago when the problem appeared and they gave me a refurb one in perfect condition.
Take it to Apple and they will give you another iPhone.
