I dropped my iPhone 5 a few weeks ago and it landed just right to crack the bottom piece of glass on the back. It just shattered and stayed there. I wasn't using a case cause' I'm cool like that! I figured I could easily hide it with a skin or case and it wouldn't even be noticeable. I then started scouring the web for a fix and couldn't find any. I wound up going to eBay and found the glass pieces for under $10 for the top and bottom set from China.
I carefuly removed the broken glass with a precision screwdriver. It is glued to the casing pretty good. After removing all the glass and glue remnants, I cut and stuck permanent, double-sided tape to the back of the new piece of glass. I then lined it up to the casing and pressed firmly. It's been attached for about 2 weeks now with no problems. It looks and feels like new again! This was cheaper than paying my warranty deductible and I didn't use a replacement claim on something simple. I hope this helps some folks out there.
