Shattered my screen yesterday when my phone (Verizon iPhone 6) fell out of my hand in a parking lot. Well, it fell and I tried to catch it, only to watch my upward swing of a catch attempt send the phone flying to the other side of my car. I have never broken a phone before. It is useable, but just hideous. and I keep getting chards of glass everywhere, not in a dangerous sense, just an annoying one. As I see it, I have several options:
-Save up and buy outright an iPhone se
-Buy an unlocked or Verizon iPhone on Craigslist/eBay
-Tough it out until November or so for the iPhone 7
-try and get the screen replaced on my current phone

Money has been tighter than normal recently, so this isn't a decision I am taking lightly. If anyone has some insight on any of these options, I would appreciate your input.
 
Ditto. Take it to Apple and have the screen replaced. With Apple care plus the charge is $79.00, without Apple care plus the charge is $109.00. Either way much less than buying a new phone.
