My iPod screen broke under the screen protector

Okay so, I have a tempered glass screen protector and a case on my iPod touch (6th gen) and I was sitting on a bench and it slipped out of my pocket and shattered the screen even though i have a screen protector. I've dropped it from a much higher height before it had the protector and case but it didn't do anything that time. Does anyone know a cheap repair option?

There really is no repair for broken screens.

You can take it into an apple store or authorized service provider and get an out of warranty replacement for about 60% of the cost of a new one.

Or if you have apple care plus on the device that may fall under your ‘accidental damage’ clause.

One thing is, if you choose to use a non-authorized repair place if you have any warranty left on that iPod it will be null and void.


You could also look at any warranty that came with the case or screen protector to see if they have anything you can collect on.
