Self Repair Kits Are Coming For Cell Phones Thanks To Samsung

Imagine getting your phone screen fixed and not paying some dude sitting in a mall kiosk $200 to do it. The fact that a device which literally goes into and out of your pocket hundreds of times throughout the day is so fragile is a longstanding failure of design ... but now finally Samsung is leading the way among cell phone providers to help you fix those phones after they inevitably crack by offering consumers a self repair kit for many of their Galaxy phones.

In a time when there are still so-called "luxury" device makers that still make products with screens that spontaneously crack if you touch them slightly wrong - the fact that at least one is thinking about how to let users repair their own devices is a welcome change.
