Wherever I wanna be
I Found some services on ebay for around 80 bucks to get my broken iPhone repaired to look like new. I was thinking about doing it but i don't know if mine is in to bad a condition for them to fix it.

Here are some Pics of it

Tbh I've repaired ip3/4's etc that have been dropped or run over and providing the logic board is ok there fine. 3GS or 3g's can have a new front and back done for next to nothing these days
 
Anything can be fixed but its all about price. Good luck ...

to be honest, i think i will happen again.. its not about the phone ... its about you :D... sorry if I have offended....

Sorry about your phone, but just had to say that top and t-shirt do not go well together :D
 
Its Jailbroken

$199 and you'll get a brand new handset from the Genius bar.

I Can't cause its jailbroken :(
and if i unjailbreak it and they can't fix it then i won't be able to re-jailbreak it cause i can't get into dfu without the power button:(

Its a 3G (not 3GS) and I Don't think that apple still fixes Those ones
 
Maybe ask around independent phone shops? Hell, even Craigslist might have people near you repairing iPhones. I know here around St. Louis there are people who advertise that they'll replace the glass (perhaps the back) for a somewhat low price (usually <$100 altogether).
 
No problem! You or a shop should be able to fix it.

I'm in the process of turning my old 3GS from black to white, so I've ordered a few 3GS parts that cost me about $60 to swap out the front glass plate (digitizer), back and bevel along with the mute switch, sim card holder and a new battery. Here's a link to the site where I got replacement parts. For you, 3G Parts

Good luck
 
Simple answer yes. As long as the logic board and hardware inside is all fine, then that is just cosmetics. You can replace the front and back, pretty quick, for next to nothing. Look for some guides on iFixit and buy the parts off eBay, cheap as chips.
