Call and find out what a new glass costs. You can probably mail the phone to them.

Get it fixed . Then go to Best Buys and get a glass protector.

After that, go to UAG and get a billfold type case.

Yes, you will be out $150 - 200 for all of this but you will have a phone that lasts.

Don't be hard on yourself. I have a $1,100 iPhone without insurance. And I have the two protective devices listed above.

I also have a phone finder app in case I misplace the phone. You can tag it to your son's phone.

Good luck.
