Howdy!
Being in the iPhone and iPod (and soon to be iPad!) repair biz, you get to see some really awful stuff come through the doors. Seriously, screens that are completely demolished, 
nanos that are so bent that they form right angles or even first gen iPhones missing their silver backplates entirely. It’s enough to make a grown nerd cry! It never ceases me amaze me how messed up this little electronic can get! It’s nuts. No matter, though, because our repair technicians give each and every device a thorough evaluation before we have to call the time of death. We don’t judge based on how ugly its mug is–everyone gets an equal chance. 
Speaking of busted devices, there does seem to be a pattern of people not in the know that their device can be fixed–it never fails! I’ll be roaming about San Antonio and I’ll see someone carefully trying to maneuver around the shards of glass from their iPhone. Or, I’ll see a friend with an iPod video that sounds like it doubles as a trash compactor. I start to wonder if people know that they can get ‘em fixed or maybe it’s just the economics of the matter. Either way, we like to spread the word about our great repair solutions with great prices to match. Just give us a call and we’ll see if we can get you a ballpark price for those more ambiguous repairs! We have real AND knowledgeable people on the receiving end of your inquiry. We’re all happy to help!
Well, I know that there have been plenty of accidents that we’ve fixed, but truth be told, sometimes we like to keep a small collection of old parts to remember the worst of the worst. I’m starting to think we should make some kind of art out of it. Well, I [carefully] dug around and found the nastiest digitizers. I don’t remember all the backstories, but I rememeber something about a tank, a nailgun and maybe even a firetruck…Anyways, after nearly cutting my little fingers up, I got this shot:
Keep those phones safe!

This was a hilarious post, Marian. Now I know what you were doing with all those broken iPhone glass screens the other day. I also liked the photograph of the pinwheel-of-broken-hopes-and-dreams that you made there – it’s high-tech art if you ask me!
